Some Definitions:
I = Feed rate in kg/h or t/h

material amount per unit time
P = Feed rate setpoint in kg/h or t/h
Z = Amount fed out in kg or t
n = Measuring wheel speed in rpm O Z1 = 362.5 kg
Q = Measured load I = 1498 kg/h
load on load cells in kg
Xd = Deviation in %Pnom
Gravimetric: controlled mode

Volumetric: uncontrolled mode
Measuring Principle:
The material is guided to a rotating measuring wheel, G = Speed

deflected and moved towards the lower outlet
opening. The torque exerted on motor is measured. L/C = Load cell
INTECONT computes feed rate and amount fed out
from torque and measuring wheel speed. A = Analog output selectable for feed
The material prefeeder is controlled so that feed rate rate, measured load and speed
corresponds to specified setpoint.
SERIAL = Serial interface for printer and host
Measuring Technique: computer
n Precision AC voltage amplifier with continuous
correction of zero point and range. 24 V = Power supply
n Highly resolving analog-to-digital converter. MIN = Relay output for MIN monitoring
The integrated method is designed to efficiently
suppress mains voltage interferences. MAX = Relay output for MAX monitoring.
n 16-bit microcontroller Feed rate, measured load or
speed can be monitored
Unlimited storage of counter readings, configuration separately for MIN and MAX:
and calibration data.
ALARM = Relay output for ALARM

DRIVE = Control output for measuring drive
PREF. = Control output for prefeeder
START/STOP = Start/Stop measuring system and

Construction and Operating Principle O P = 100.0 kg/h

I = 100.0 kg/h
The measuring system consists of a measuring wheel
rotating at constant speed and divided into chambers
by specially shaped guide vanes.
The material flowing continuously into the mass flow

feeder through the inlet hopper is radially moved
outwards by the rotating impellers of the measuring
wheel after deflection by the cone.
The pivoted motor transfers its output torque to load Weighing electronics computes actual feed rate from
cells L/C using a lever. The load cell output voltage is torque and speed.
proportional to the torque and translated into digital
information with the use of an analog-to-digital
converter.
Speed transducer G acquires the speed of the

measuring wheel and transfers the value to the
microprocessor system using a frequency-to-digital
converter. Frequency-to-digital and analog-to-digital
converters are incorporated in the INTECONT
weighing electronics.

Operating Modes:
1. Gravimetric

2. Volumetric
uncontrolled mode, i.e. material prefeeder is
controlled proportional to setpoint.
Actual value is measured but not used for control.
Both modes can be selected using a dialog function.

Some control functions can be started from different

sources:

Zero setting is performed by an automatic n Calibration

program. No material is required.
Program can be started Calibration as such is not required. All you have to
do is enter some constructional data of load cells,
1. manually via keyboard speed transducer, measuring wheel, etc.

n Taring
Designed to zero the basic tare load, the taring

program on principle has the same function as the
zero setting program. However, tare elevation is
not monitored, and the call is protected by
password.
n Batching Mode
Cut-off and dribble feed changeover points are

adapted automatically.
n Zero Drop Out
This function is used to suppress totalization upon

measurements around zero, for counter to stop

After every complete batch, INTECONT uses the

missing material amount to compute a correction
value (I02). Dribble feed changeover point is adapted

Cut-off point for next batch is computed from error and
