Totalizer Cutoff

Weight per EMT Pulse

EMT Pulse Length
Totalizer Cutoff
This setting allows you to specify a value for Belt Load below which totalization will
not occur. Totalization is normally bi-directional, meaning that material can be
subtracted from the totalizer if belt load is negative. If you wish to prevent this from
happening, you may set this value at some reasonable value and any belt load
lower than the setting (including negative values) will not be totalized.
The units of this setting are those of Belt Load (i.e. lb/ft or kg/m). The lower limit is
-10% of Design Load and the upper limit is 50% of Design Load (see Main Menu >
Basic Setup > Design Capacities > Design Load)
Weight per EMT Pulse
This is the value for one pulse of the EMT (external mechanical totalizer) output.
The units are those of Weight (i.e. lb or kg). The lower limit is 0.01 and the upper
limit is 100,000.

Pulse Length

This is the "on" time in seconds for each pulse that is sent to the EMT (external
mechanical totalizer) output. This is settable to allow longer pulses for mechanical
totalizers versus electronic. The "off" time will never be less than the "on" time, but
may be longer depending on the actual rate of pulses.
Also note that output pulses are buffered so that none are lost. If the Pulse Length
and/or the rate of pulses are high enough, its possible that the external totalizer
will not be able to keep up with the internal totalizers. However, it will "catch up"
and no pulses should be lost. The rate of pulses will depend on the setting for
"Weight per EMT Pulse" (see above) and the actual feedrate.
The minimum setting for this parameter is 0.01 seconds and the maximum is 5.0
seconds.

Feeder Peripherals

(Main Menu > Advanced Setup > Feeder Peripherals)
Note: This menu item will only appear if at least one of the following feeder
peripherals is enabled (see Main Menu > Advanced Setup >Configuration).
Selection of this menu item will present you with a list of peripheral devices that have
been configured, and allow you to set certain parameters that control their
functionality.
Only those devices that have been enabled will appear in this menu.
