2.1 Functional description The digital tension measuring amplifiers EMGZ309 are suitable for tension measurement with all FMS force sensors. This versatile product comes as a plug & play unit and is very easy to setup through the operating panel. Alternatively, more advanced users can access all the internal parameters through a Web Browser and set up the device over a PC.
Operation Manual EMGZ 309 3 Quick Installation Guide In a Plug & Play configuration the set-up of the EMGZ309 and force sensor is limited to only the offset compensation and the calibration. 3.1 Preparations for Set-up 1. Read the Operation Manual of your force measuring sensors 2.
However, they have to be followed strictly. 3.4 Mounting the Force Sensors Mounting of the force sensors is done according to the FMS Installation manual which is delivered together with the force sensors. 3.5 Wiring the Amplifier One or two force sensors can be connected to the measuring amplifier.

It is vital to ensure that proper earth connection is done.
4 Configuring the Amplifier 4.1 Power up the EMGZ 309 1. Connect the first force sensor (see Fig.3 Wiring Diagram EMGZ309) 2. Check whether applying a force in measuring direction (in the direction of the red point) on the first sensor results in a positive output signal. If not, exchange the two signal wires of the corresponding force sensor in the terminal block (terminals 12/13).
Operating State. Or if no action is taken after 30 seconds, the value will be stored in the system automatically. 4.4 Change the Device Mode The EMGZ309 amplifiers have two Device Modes: ● Display of Force Gauge: Tension data are displayed in a force unit ●...
The second method is based on a calculation method in conjunction with the FMS Calculator. This Calculator can be down loaded from the FMS web page. Please consult the factory for this option. The calibration can be performed over the Operation Panel or via the Web Browser.
Operation Manual EMGZ 309 4.8 Calibration over the Operating Panel 1. Load a rope with a defined weight corresponding to your calibration force on the roller. The roller configuration must correspond to the real configuration in the machine (wrap angle, distance of the rollers etc.). 2.
If necessary download and install FMS-calculator from the FMS homepage at: http://www.fms-technology.com/en/technical-information.php Gain-calculation-tool The gain calculator is an optional feature of the FMS-calculator. It delivers the gain factor for easy weightless calibration of FMS amplifiers. 1. First, the application related parameters must be entered in the FMS-calculator e.g.
Operation Manual EMGZ309 5 Operation 5.1 Operating the EMGZ309 over the Operating Panel The EMGZ309 amplifier can go in 5 different states: • Operation State: Amplifier operating • Display Selection: Selection of force or output reading • Offset Compensation: Automatic procedure to offset the roller weight •...
Operation Manual EMGZ 309 5.2 Display Value Selection State The EMGZ309 can display either a tension value or the amplifier output that is an electrical unit corresponding to the measured tension. A) For tension display following unit can be selected: N, kN, lb, g, kg B) The amplifier output can be displayed in 0…10VDC, 0…20mA or 4…20mA...
After offset compensation and calibration the system is configured. It can now be put into operation. The following state diagrams (Fig. 10 -12) help to navigate through the parameter setting menu. In the Parameterisation State the EMGZ309 can be brought into the 2 modes: “Parameter Selection” and “Parameter Change”.

Filter Amplifier Output LCD: Out.Filt Use: The EMGZ309 contains a lowpass filter to prevent noise overlaying to the output signal. This parameter stores the cut off frequency of the filter. The lower the cut off frequency, the more sluggish the output signal will be.
Page 21
Operation Manual EMGZ 309 System Force LCD: SysForce Use: The System Force [SysForce] determines the measuring capability of your measuring roller. E.g. If two 500 N sensors are installed in your measuring roller, enter 1000N. If only one 500N sensor is used, enter 500N.

Use: This parameter stores the value determined with the Procedure Calibration (see 4.7 “Calibration over the Operating Panel”). Alternatively you can input a calculated value using the FMS Calculator described in chapter 4.8, if the material tension cannot be simulated.

Ethernet-Interface LCD: Ethernet Use: The Ethernet interface of EMGZ309 can be switched on and off with this parameter. The deactivation of this interface reduces the power consumption by 25% and lowers heat generation in the device considerably. FMS recommends to activated the Ethernet interface only when needed..

Parameter Range Unit Selection Default MBPS Default Settings LCD: Default Use: This menu point is a command.
Operation Manual EMGZ 309 7 Parameter Setting via a PC Fig 14 shows the EMGZ309 configuration in a LAN (Local Area Network). The EMGZ309 force measuring amplifier can be embedded in an Ethernet network and the parameter setting can be done over this network by means of a web browser (Internet Explorer 7).
In this case it must be certain that the EMGZ309 uses an IP address in a static block (not assigned by the server). For the integration of an EMGZ309 amplifier in your Ethernet network please contact your IT system administrator.

2. Enter the force corresponding to your calibration weight in Volt (V) in the field “Weight”. If this value is not known, the calibration method with the FMS- Calculator can be used to determine it. (see chapter 4.9 „Analytic Calibration Method“).
The parameter setting can also be carried out with a desktop or laptop computer directly connected to the EMGZ309. In this case, the PC is connected via a Peer-to- Peer connection to the amplifier. This chapter describes the procedure for setting up a computer to communicate with EMGZ309.
