FEATURES

ACCURACY
±½ percent to 1 percent when using a single idler with belt loads from 25 percent to 100 percent of the rated scale capacity when applied to a suitable conveyor in accordance with the directions specified in the SVS installation manual.

LINE BY 20 CHARACTER DISPLAY
This display provides four lines of information. It simplifies calibration and makes data entry easy to understand. Normal viewing provides accumulating weight, rate, belt speed, and percent load on the belt for either short tons or metric tons.

HIGH-SPEED NETWORK
BELT-WAY scales feature a built-in computer network system which provides an output to a PC or a remote display. This expandable network allows the scale to become part of the BELT-WAY system and ensures compatibility with other SVS products.

TRACK PRODUCTION TIME
Use this feature to record the amount of time the scale is running at or above your programmed rate.

MASTER TOTAL
Keep track of monthly, quarterly, or yearly totals with our master total feature. As daily totals are cleared they are transferred to our master total to provide continuous totals.

RS-232
Output to log data to a printer, PC, scoreboard display or phone modem.

OFFICE TO PLANT(S) MODEM INTERFACE
Dial up your BELT-WAY scale from any office PC using a standard phone modem. Collect present data and historical data from all your remote sites from any office, anytime, anywhere.

AUTO ZERO
This feature automatically tracks the empty weight of the belt and idler to compensate for material build-up on the belt.

WIRING VERSATILITY
BELT-WAY scales are supplied with a 120 volt AC power supply. They can also be operated on 12 volts DC supplied from a battery. Our scales are easy to wire. You can use conduit if desired.

INSTALLATION MANUAL
Our manual provides easy to understand step-by-step instructions and photos. Calibrate our scale without the additional cost of factory personnel.

THE FOLLOWING FEATURES REQUIRE AN I/O OPTION BOARD

PULSE OUTPUT
Use the pulse output to a PLC or remote counter to integrate BELT -WAY scales with your existing system. Quadrature waveform is included.

LOAD TRUCKS, BARGES, AND RAILCARS Program up to eight preset load weights. Print a ticket if desired. Add a remote start/stop station (see options page) for easy, accurate loading without using the integrator keypad.

LOW-SPEED ALARM / SPEED INTERLOCK
When used as a low-speed alarm, this output will turn on if the belt speed falls below the programmed value. When used as a speed interlock, this output will turn on when the belt speed is above the programmed value.

DRIVE A CHART RECORDER
Use one of the analog outputs to record the actual rate crossing the scale on a chart recorder.

CONTROL THE FEED RATE
Use the PID control feature to program a desired flow rate. The scale will control the flow rate using one of the analog outputs.

OPEN LOOP BLENDING
Use up to four analog outputs to control up to four ingredients added to the material crossing the belt scale. In open loop blending the scale controls the feed rate of each additive but the additives are not actually weighed or measured.

CLOSED LOOP BLENDING
Closed loop blending uses a scale or flow meter to measure each additive being blended with the material crossing the main scale. The main scale can use the PID control feature to control the feed rate of the main ingredient if desired. The main scale will send the actual flow rate of the main ingredient to each additive controller. You program the appropriate percentage for each additive ingredient into each additive controller. Then, using the PID control, each additive feeder will be controlled to maintain an accurate blend.
