1.0 Principle
The Conveyor Belt Weigher system consists of a conveyor belt whose load is constantly
weighed with a measuring device. The volume flow is calculated from the product of load
(Load cell value) and belt speed (Tacho frequency or fixed frequency). Integration of the
instantaneous conveyed value results in the amount transported.
The Solid Flow Meter system consists of an Impact plate whose load is constantly
weighed with a measuring device. The volume flow is calculated from the product of load
(Load cell value) and internal speed. Integration of the instantaneous conveyed value
results in the amount transported.
The TUC-6 calculates the instantaneous value of the material being conveyed and
keeps track of the amount of material conveyed over a period of time.
The measuring unit is operated using the TUC-6 keypad, and the 2 line, 16 digit LCD
display. The display values are called using fixed keys or displayed through pull-down
selection.
2.0 Functions
Belt related influences on the belt load can be compensated by means of zero
correction. To do this, the correction process is started with the belt running idle. The
zero correction value, with which the belt load is set off, is calculated automatically after
the zero correction process. The zero correction is initiated from the front keypad.
If the load on the measuring cell is not linear in the whole range, the load can be
laniaries by entering up to ten correction points.
Faults/Errors caused by incorrect operations are displayed in clear text in the control
display.
Faults are also made available at the output in the form of potential free contacts.
3.0 Interfaces
It is possible to enable remote monitoring and control of the system, by connecting the
unit to a master controller through the serial interface. Modbus RTU and Profibus
protocol options are supported through use of optional modules.
One-pulse output (either “S1” or “S2”) is available from the system corresponding to the
quantity being conveyed. The resolution & pulse width of the Totalizer pulses are
configurable.
Isolated Analog output is available for display and/or measurement tasks. Analog current
output corresponds to “Actual Feedrate”.
One digital input corresponding to external START / STOP command is available. This is
+12V signal I/p to TUC-6.
In case if above input is not used for External Start / Stop command, it can be used for
Tacho input to the TUC-6.
Four Digital outputs are available in the form of potential free relay terminals
corresponding to Pulse Output, Limit Output & Error Outputs.

TUC-6 has a multi-function keypad, the definition of keys change as per the menu
operations. Some keys have alphabets in the lower left hand corner. These are not used
in this module. The numbers 0 to 9 in the upper right hand corner of some keys are used
for numeric entries.

1.2 Display
When the TUC-6 is powered on from the mains, the display "Transweigh" is shown for 5
secs.
The system then displays either the Online Menu or the Offline menus, depending on the
status of key pressed during the 5 secs. delay.
-Press 'VER' to bypass 5 sec. delay & jump to Main Program menu.
-Press 'CL' to bypass 5 sec. delay & jump to Offline menus.
If no key is pressed, the system enters Main Program menu at the end of 5 sec. delay.
a) In the Online menu – Main Program, the following parameters can be displayed
by selecting keys from the keypad 'X', 'S1', 'S2', 'BB', 'T':
Other Values are selectable with the '↑↓' key. These values are shown below with their
designated names.
b) Error messages
The error messages have the highest priority, i.e. they are not overwritten by any
other display and remain in display until they are acknowledged.
The error messages are listed in section 4.0 "Errors Messages" of this manual.
2.0 Functions
START Condition:-
Display - LED above 'START' on.
STOP Condition:-
Display - LED above 'START' off.
Conditions
- System in Local/De-Interlock-Volumetric mode
- Belt started
Note:
Zero setting operation can be canceled by pressing '>0<' key during zeroing process.
Operation:
The zero setting runs for one belt revolution determined by the belt revolution time set in
configuration. After zero setting operation, the mean value over the zero curve is
calculated and the belt load is re-calculated with the zero correction value. An error
message occurs when the correction limit is exceeded.
Display
The Error text message is displayed in line 2. All Error texts are characterized with "!" in
the last column
Note:
If an error is already in the display, further errors will not be displayed until this error has
been acknowledged.
Operating the menus via the TUC keys is described in the Operating Instructions section
of this manual (see Menu Operations, section 2.0)
Errors are characterized by "!" display in the last position of the display. Error
messages occurring during operation are shown below.

3.4 Calibration
=Dead load=
The actual value is displayed in terms of "d" in the lower display line.With a
completely empty belt , delete the dead load with the '→' key.The actual value
displayed then shows 0000 d; the dead load is compensated.Press '↑↓' key to
switch further.
Input : None
CALIBRATION LOAD
1230 => 0000
Enter the calibration load value on the right hand side. A value of 2000
corresponds to 100% Belt load.Scale the input value according to the calibration
load.Conclude the calibration procedure with '↓' key.The value entered is saved
on exit.
For this upto 10 measuring points can be taken and stored from 0....100% capacity.
Between these measuring points, the curve is then linearized.
To start the calibration correction process, calibrate the system. Take a measuring point
e.g at 20% capacity and operate the system at 20% of nominal capacity.
Switch on the capacity display on the unit and note the average indicated capacity.
Bypass a determined quantity (at completed belt revolutions) and reweigh it using a
static weigher. Take the measurement time by a stop watch. From the actual conveyed
capacity and the time taken, calculate the true conveying capacity.
Input the displayed value (S1)and the measured value in the unit. Repeat the
procedure for other calibration points,if necessary.
=Curve_Correction=
=Edit ->= Press '→' key to enter the curve correction menu. Press '↑↓'
key to exit the menu.
Pressing '→' key will display the correction points as shown,
N DISP →MEASURED

"Exit ->"
Press '→' to exit the menu and '↑↓' to move to correction point number 0
=CPU crystal=

Input : None
=Date=
The date can be changed through this parameter.
Input : Numerical value in format YY:MM:DD
=Time=
The system time can be changed through this parameter.
Input : Numerical value in format HH:MM:SS
If 'CL' key is not pressed during the 5 sec. power on delay, system goes to the ONline
mode when power is switched ON.
The display in the ONline mode can be switched directly by using keys 'BB','Ta','X',
'S1' and 'S2'. Other parameters are called by pressing '↑↓' key.
Since the belt conveyor scale shows system related oscillation around the zero position,
the zero point is corrected during one belt revolution in order to improve the measuring
precision.
The deviation of the zero point is measured and stored with a plus or minus prefix. This
value is used to correct the momentary load during each measuring cycle.
Zeroing can be started with the system in "Local" or "Manual" mode and in "Start"
condition. Press key to initiate the zero correction cycle.

1.0 General
The Parameters are entered using the keypad and a 16 digit x 2 line display. The
arrangement of parameters within the menus, options available for each parameters and
writing the parameters are explained in the commissioning instructions.
The parameters of the system are stored in an EEPROM. On each power ON, the data
in the EEPORM is checked with the contents of the Battery Buffered RAM. If a mismatch
occurs, error message is displayed. Acknowledging the error, reloads the RAM from
EEPROM.
Instantaneous values during system operation are stored in the Battery buffered RAM.
The parameters in a menu are automatically saved when the display is scrolled to
display the next parameter.
When the Online menu "Main_Program" is called, the parameters set in various menus
are checked for logical settings. In case of mismatch, error message is generated. The
corresponding parameter should then be correctly set.
These parameters can be changed only when the measuring mode is "OFF".
The parameters are arranged in different menus. The menus and the parameter listing is
as shown below.
