Calibration

Calibration is the process of adjusting the display of the transmitter so that when the scale is empty, the display shows zero gross weight. With a specific amount of weight on the scale, it also shows an accurate weight value.

The ACT100 transmitter calibration menu enables entry of an adjustment value, selection of linearity adjustment ( point), traditional zero calibration and three different types of span calibration:

•

Traditional span calibration – This uses test weights.

•

Step adjust calibration - Using a build-up or substitution method of calibration, this method is used for large vessels where only a portion of the required test weights can be placed on the scale.

[default], three, four or five

Figure 2-7: Zero Calibration

If the transmitter detects scale motion during the calibration process, it will retry the start of calibration several times and then proceed, displaying a motion indication. In this case, when calibration is complete, the transmitter will present two options – accept or reject the value.

METTLER TOLEDO

ACT350 Transmitter User's Guide 16

Operation

NOTICE

Figure 2-8: Zero Calibration with Motion

Blanking of the display is used to indicate an under-zero condition when the weight on the scale falls below the current zero reference. Set the under zero blanking for the number of divisions (d) that the transmitter is permitted to go under zero before blanking.

A setting value of 0-98 blanks the display at the specified number of divisions below gross zero. A value of 99 makes the transmitter blanks at 50% of the capacity value in the negative direction.

2.4.4.5. Span Calibration

The scale’s span calibration can be determined either with or without a linearity adjustment. With linearity disabled, a single reference point is used to calibrate the scale. This is the normal method of span calibration. With linearity enabled, the transmitter is configured with up to three-point linearity – low, mid and high.

The low point is set during zero calibration, and the mid and high points are set during this procedure.

Operation

Figure 2-9: Span Calibration

If linearity is enabled, additional mid-range weight reference points are added to the adjustment procedure. Linearity can be enabled or disabled in the Calibration branch of the device menu. Refer to ACT100 Device Main Menu section for the method used to modify numerical values.

2.4.4.6. Step Adjust

Step adjustment is an iterative process in which a build-up or material substitution method of calibration is used to calibrate the span. Each step calibrates a portion of the full span.

This method is typically used with large vessels where only a portion of the required calibration test weights can be placed on the scale at one time. Figure 2-10 shows the logic of the procedure using a simple, two-step example. When sufficient steps have been calibrated, pressing the LEFT button returns the view to the calibration menu.

Operation

2.4.4.7. CalFree™

NOTICE

CalFree allows the scale to be calibrated without the use of test weights. The total load cell capacity, unit and output in mV/V must be entered. The system then calculates correct calibration for the scale. Figure 2-11 provides a visual representation of the CalFree calibration procedure.

Notes on Load Cell Capacity and Rated Cell Output

•

For load cell capacity, enter the sum of all load cell capacities. For example, for three 50t load cells, enter 150,000 kg.

•

For systems with passive dummy load cells, enter the value as if all legs have live load cells. For example, for a system with two 50t live load cells and two passive supports, enter 200,000.

•

For Rated Cell Output, enter the sensitivity of each live load cell in mV/V – for example, 2.0000. For multiple load cells, enter the average sensitivity of all cells.

The ACT100 transmitter allows calibration of the scale without using test weights. This is based on manual entry of capacity and performance data from the load cell or load cell platform. This method of calibration can be used for initial check-out and testing of systems or when a large structure is used as the weighing vessel and it is not possible to apply test weights to the structure. METTLER TOLEDO highly recommends that test weights be used whenever possible, as this provides the most accurate method of calibration.

The Rated Cell Output and Cell Capacity values cannot be zero, and are limited to 7 digits.

Scale calibration using CalFree™ will not be accurate when using zener diode barriers (such as Mettler Toledo ISB05 and ISB05x) between the transmitter and the scale. Do not use CalFree™ when barriers are installed.

With the setting on Reset, the last zero calibration value will be used as the zero reference point. The Power Up Zero capture range selections include Disabled the Power Up Zero is applied only when the weight reading on the scale is within the selected range around the originally calibrated zero reference. For example, if the range setting for Power Up Zero is set at +/- 2%, Power Up Zero will only occur when the weight reading on the scale is within +/- 2% of scale capacity above the original calibrated zero reference. If the weight on the scale is outside of the zero range, the display will indicate the weight is adjusted to within this range and zero is captured.

Tare

The tare value is subtracted from the gross weight measurement, providing the computation of the net weight (material without the container). The tare function can also be used to track the net amount of material being added to or removed from a vessel or container. In the second case, the weight of the material inside is included with the tare weight of the container and the display reflects the net amount being added to or removed from the vessel. Tare is captured by digital input. Tare is cleared by digital input.

Filter

In many weighing applications, vibration can introduce error into your system or cause delays in the transfer of weight to your automation device. It is always recommended to first attempt to mechanically isolate your scale from the surroundings. When this cannot adequately be done, use the electronic filtering inside the ACT100. The Filter section offers three settings: Weighing Mode, Limit Frequency and Environment.

Recommendation is to start at 20 Hz and reduce the frequency only after adjusting the environment setting.

This means ACT100 will output 4mA when scale is empty and 20mA when 1000 kg load on scale or in tank. If the load on scale exceeds 1000kg, the analog signal value will change from 20mA to 24mA as a warning message to user control system that the analog output is over range. Figure 2-16 shows the relationship between analog output signal and load on scale.

Allows for a minor adjustment to be made to the analog output signal. First, an adjustment to the zero value signal will be made. Second, an adjustment to the full scale signal will be made. Adjustment should be completed with either PLC or multimeter connected to analog output of ACT100. Adjustment is completed by using the up or down buttons on the ACT100. A short press (fine adjust) of the button makes an adjustment in step size of 10. A long press (coarse adjust) of the button makes an adjustment in step size of 200.

1-20 Hz: begins to affect the disturbance. Disturbances above the limit frequency will have filtering applied. Recommendation is to start at 20 Hz and reduce the frequency only after adjusting the environment setting. The lower the frequency, the better the disturbance rejection, but it will extend the settling time.

Sets the level of attenuation applied to the signal above the limit frequency. A very stable environment will have the least attenuation applied to the signal and a very unstable environment will have the strongest attenuation. It is recommended to adjust this value first when changing filter settings. Start with "very stable" and work your way down.

GEO

Codes

5 GEO Codes

The GEO code feature provided in the ACT100 transmitter permits calibration readjustment due to changes in elevation or latitude without reapplying test weights. This adjustment assumes a previously accurate calibration was completed with the GEO code set properly for that original location, and that the GEO code for the new location can be accurately determined. The procedure for using this feature is as follows.

5.1. Original Site Calibration

1. Use the GEO code chart () on the following pages to determine the GEO code for the current altitude and location at which the scale will be calibrated.

2. Enter that GEO value into the GEO code parameter in setup at Calibration

3. Immediately after entering the GEO code, perform a zero and span adjustment using accurate test weights.

4. Exit the setup menu tree.

5. The scale can now be used in its new location.

Scale >

5.2. New Site GEO Code Adjustment

When a terminal is to be reinstalled at a different geographic location, gravitational and altitude changes can be accounted for by following these steps. Note that this procedure is not necessary if an on-site recalibration is performed.

1. Use the GEO code chart () on the following pages to determine the GEO code for the new altitude and location at which the scale will be used.

2. Enter that GEO value into the GEO code parameter in Setup at Calibration

3. Immediately after entering the GEO code, exit the setup menu tree. DO NOT perform a normal calibration.

The calibration has now been adjusted for the differences in gravity from the original site of calibration to the new site of use.

6.1. Introduction

SetPoint is a simple application that allows for the inputs and outputs of the ACT100 to react to reaching pre-set weights determined by Target Weight, Preact and Fine Feed in the below equations.

CP1 = Target Weight - Pre-act - Fine Feed

CP2 = Target Weight - Pre-act

Fine Feed could be zero. In this case, SetPoint works in single speed mode. The Fast Output is disabled, only Fine Output works.

The Source is used to determine which value, Displayed Weight or Gross Weight, is compared to CP1 and CP2. The comparison result and Latch option determine the status of Fast Output and Fine Output. The Mode parameter determines how Fast Output and Fine Output work.

6.2. Concurrent Mode

When Source is set to Gross Weight, two Outputs of Discrete IO are set respectively as Fast Output and Fine Output and gross weight is below CP1, both Fast and Fine Outputs are TRUE. The controlled valves in the user's equipment are open so the material filling speed is the fastest. Then when gross weight increases to hit CP1, Fast Output switches to FALSE and Fine Output remains TRUE until CP2 is reached. Both Fast and Fine Outputs are FALSE at this point and the corresponding valves are closed. The material filling is stopped. The whole process is shown in Figure 6-1.

6.4. Latch

When Latch is Enabled and weight is above CP2, the DIO Outputs are FALSE regardless of additional weight changes, e.g. weight somehow decreases to be less than CP2 or even CP1. In this case, the False status remains until a Start/Resume Setpoint signal is triggered via a Discrete IO input.

The Abort SetPoint application input signal can be used to pause the SetPoint process. In this case, the Fast and Fine Outputs will change to FALSE regardless of the comparison result between weight and CP1/CP2. A Start/Resume SetPoint signal is required to resume the process.

30303895 | 00 | 08/2019

Figure 6-3 Latch Enabled with Start/Resume Input

When Latch is Disabled, neither Start/Resume Setpoint nor Abort SetPoint application signal will work. The Fast and Fine Outputs are only determined by the comparison result between weight and CP1/CP2. This is completely an automatic mode.
