Lc To Headpulley; Max Difference; Difference Time - MERRICK Genetix Safety, Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Inferred Load
This is the value that will be used for belt load, if in Inferred Load mode. This
can be a result of either the user selecting "Inferred Load" as the load cell
function (see Main Menu > Advanced Setup > Load Cells > Function ), or as a
result of a load imbalance if "Auto Bypass has been selected as the load cell
function.
This value can be automatically updated if enabled (see Main Menu >
Advanced Setup > Load Cells > Settings ), or can be manually adjusted by the
user.

LC to Headpulley

This is the distance from the load cell to the headpulley, measured along the
belt, in units of length. To improve batching and/or short term accuracy, a
translational algorithm is used to calculate the load at the headpulley rather
than at the load cell. This feature must be enabled (see Main Menu > Advanced
Setup > Configuration > Use Head Load) for this algorithm to be employed.
Note if this distance is set to zero, that will effectively disable this feature.

Max Difference

This is the maximum allowed difference, in percent of Design Load, that if
exceeded for longer then the time set by "Difference Time" (see below) will
cause the logical output, "Load Imbalance" to be set. Also, if the load cell
function is set to "Auto Bypass", a shift to "Bypassed" (Inferred Load) will occur.

Difference Time

This is the maximum allowed time, in seconds, that the load cells can be out of
balance (based on Max Difference above) before the logical output, "Load
Imbalance" is set.
Scale Factor 1
This is the calibration factor associated with load cell 1. This value is basically is
basically the number of A/D counts associated with one unit of belt load, and is
typically the result of a calibration procedure. It is not normally entered by the
user, but may be done if it is known.
Zero Load 1
This is the zero load (i.e. when belt is empty) associated with load cell 1. This
value is the average empty belt load as observed by the first load cell, and is
typically the result of a zero procedure. It is not normally entered by the user,
but may be done if it is known. This value is in units of belt load.
Note: If the feeder is re-calibrated then this value may change.
Scale Factor 2
Same as Scale Factor 1 (see above), but for load cell 2.
Zero Load 2
Same as Zero Load 1 (see above), but for load cell2.
