Analog output affectation function is common to both current and voltage output and might be assigned to followings: SCAIME Manual : NU-eNod4B-ETH-E-236708-D.docx...
Page 33
When analog output is assigned to “Gross measurement”, “Net measurement”, “Instant flow rate” or “Average flow rate” its value jumps to a special error value when the internal alarm flag described in “Weighing diagnosis” § in the MEASUREMENT AND STATUS § is activated. This allows to warn about defection of the measurement chain. SCAIME Manual : NU-eNod4B-ETH-E-236708-D.docx...

“Belt tilt angle” (angle of conveyor in degrees) allows correcting the effect of inclination on the weight. If the belt is mounted horizontally, the definition is 0. The belt can be tilted to a maximum of 35°. Always ensure that the definition corresponds with the current tilt angle, otherwise the belt load is incorrectly calculated. SCAIME Manual : NU-eNod4B-ETH-E-236708-D.docx...
Speed calibration must be performed when the conveyor is running and empty. The following parameters are involved during speed calibration procedure: Pulses factor speed sensor (Pulses/meter), user can get this data from speed sensor datasheet. Using this parameter, eNod4 allows estimating the conveyor total length. SCAIME Manual : NU-eNod4B-ETH-E-236708-D.docx...
If one of these 4 outputs is allocated to an external totalizer, a pulse is sent when the value totalized increases by a multiple value of the parameter weight quantity per pulse on logical output. SCAIME Manual : NU-eNod4B-ETH-E-236708-D.docx...
Maximum control output is the limit value for control output in 0.1% at nominal flowrate. The entry of the number e.g. 1020 corresponds to 102.0%. When the control output on the belt is higher than this level, eNod4 sets the alarms bit “>max. control output” in belt alarms register. SCAIME Manual : NU-eNod4B-ETH-E-236708-D.docx...
5 Inputs (with IO+ option). One of them is especially reserved for speed sensor input. All others logical inputs can be assigned to functional dosing process commands. All process commands have edge functioning. SCAIME Manual : NU-eNod4B-ETH-E-236708-D.docx...
