Risks
Upon use of the measuring system, danger may result during transit of material to be weighed (e.g.
from auxiliaries used to handle or feed material) or if system assumes control tasks.
Residual risks may originate from the measuring system if unskilled operators improperly handle the
system. The measuring system can be part of a more complex plant. The user is fully responsible for
the overall plant safety.
The presence of this symbol indicates that the machine or component used has the
potential to cause damage to the measuring system or other plant sections.
Personnel
Preparation, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and servicing may be performed by
trained personal only. All personal working on the measuring system are required to observe the
safety hints and know the parts of the technical documentation relevant to their work. The supervisor
is responsible for instructing his operators to observe all regulations and instructions.
Parameter Changes
The measuring system's functionality is determined by parameters, which may only be changed by
persons familiar with the measuring system operating principles (e.g. after training by Stock).
Incorrect parameter settings may cause injuries or damage to the machine and can adversely affect
weighing operation.

Component Replacement
Spare parts must meet the technical specifications indicated by Stock. To ensure this requirement is
met, only genuine Stock spare parts should be used. When using other spare parts, the warranty will
be void.
The DISOCONT Tersus performs all weighing and processing functions required for the measuring
and feeding of bulk solids. It is designed for continuous measuring and control tasks as well as
discontinuous batching.
Used in conjunction with the specific application software for weighing and feeding tasks, the
DISOCONT Tersus can be used in the following industries:
• Power
• Steel
• Basic Materials
• Cement
• Food
• Chemical.
In connection with the corresponding mechanical equipment, the following systems are supported:
• Belt Scales
• Weigh Feeders
• Solids flow meters (chutes)
• Solids flow feeders
• Loss-in-weight, gain-in-weight feeders
• Mass flow meters (Coriolis meters)
• Mass flow feeders (Coriolis feeders)
• Filling systems.
The Stock DT-9 configuration of the DISOCONT Tersus is a modified version, optimized for feeding
coal in power plant environment. There are two different versions of the DT-9. One is a completely
redesigned and updated version that is used in new installations. The second one uses the same
components and software but has been optimized for use as an upgrade to existing Stock 8085, 196,
and 196NT installations. This version uses the 196NT connectors and mounting footprint.
VCU 20103 – Designed for new installations where backwards compatibility is not required. This
version is identified by the steel mounting frame and screw type electrical connectors. A Touch
Screen HMI is always used when a VCU 20103 is installed.
VCU 20104 – Designed as a drop in replacement for the 196NT in existing installations. This version
is identified by the brown Amp style electrical connectors. The VCU 20104 can be used with either a
Touch Screen HMI or with an existing 196NT display.
3.2 Definitions
The table below explains some basic terms used in this manual.
Belt Load
The feeder weight signal is generated by two load cells that support a single weigh roller. Two weigh
span rollers are located on each side of the weigh roller to accurately define the length of belt (and
amount of coal) being supported by the weigh roller.
Since the load cells only support half of the weight on the weigh span (each load cell supports 25
percent of the total weight) the effective platform length (Leff) is calculated as:
Leff = Lg / 2
The belt load (Q) is computed from the total weight (QB) as follows:
Q = QB / Leff
NOTE: The 196NT parameter 10 Weigh Span Length is the full distance between the two weigh span
rollers. The DT-9 parameter P04.03 Effective Platform Length is half the distance between the two
weigh span rollers. For any given feeder, the value used by the DT-9 should be one half of the value
used by the 196NT.
Belt Speed
During normal feeder operation, the belt speed is calculated from the motor RPM rather then being
measured directly. The relation ship between motor speed and belt speed is determined during
calibration and is displayed as P10.02 Pulses per Length.
The weigh and speed information is used to calculate the actual feedrate as shown.
The feeder control accepts a feedrate set point from the source selected using parameter P03.02
Feedrate Setpoint. This signal is compared with a computed feedrate derived from measured weight
and speed signals to generate the system error signal which is used to adjust the speed of the motor.
Compensation for system stability is provided in the software using parameters P11.01 P-Component
KP and P11.02 I-Component TN. These calculations are repeated periodically and at each iteration,
the actual feedrate is multiplied by the time interval to calculate the totalizer increment. Separate
totals are kept for gravimetric and volumetric operation.
While in the Remote Operating Mode, the feeder can use one of three systems to generate the
required belt speed set point.
3.4.1 Gravimetric
Gravimetric Mode is the normal mode of operation. The feed rate is calculated using the belt speed
and the actual belt load, and is controlled by the feed rate demand signal supplied by the plant control
system. Parameter P03.05 Maximum Feedrate, corresponds to the maximum demand signal and the
minimum federate is set by parameter P03.06 Minimum Feedrate. Parameters P02.05 Nominal Flow
Rate should always match parameter P03.05 Maximum Feedrate. The system can be set to produce
an error if the demand signal is outside to normal range.
3.4.2 Volumetric
Volumetric Mode is used when an error is detected in the weighing system. The actual feed rate is
calculated using the belt speed and an assumed belt load based on the average value over the last
several hours, and is controlled by the feed rate demand signal supplied by the plant control system.
Parameter P03.05 Maximum Feedrate, corresponds to the maximum demand signal and the
minimum federate is set by parameter P03.06 Minimum Feedrate. Parameters P02.05 Nominal Flow
Rate should always match parameter P03.05 Maximum Feedrate. The system can be set to produce
an error if the demand signal is outside to normal range.
Warning:
• Installing the DT-9 in a feeder that uses the Stock Load Cell Amplifier will damage the DT-9.
The old style Load Cell Amplifier must be replaced with the new version before the DT-9 can
be used.
• DO NOT connect a normal Ethernet cable to X96 (red RJ45 connector). This connector uses
normally unused wires in the CAT 5 cable to provide power to the touch screen display.
Failure to follow this warning may result in damage to the DT-9 or to the attached
network device.
• The weigh span is specified using parameter P 04.03 Effective Platform Length. This
parameter is the distance between the weigh roller and either one of the weigh span rollers.
This is one-half the value used by the 196NT, which is the distance between the weigh
span rollers.
• Events (Error conditions) are usually defined using three parameters. The first, which is
usually hidden by default, defines the input signal that initiates the event, the second
specifies the delay between the time when the error is detected and the time when the event
is generated, and the third, specifies the type of event that is generated (A, W1, W2 or IG). In
most cases, the Event (error) can be disabled by setting the type of event to IG.
• The DT-9 has 15 digital inputs (DI 1 through DI 15) and 13 digital outputs (DO 1 through
DO 13). Each is assigned to a specific function, and wired to the appropriate external device.
These assignments are hidden and should not be changed. See Appendix B for a list of the
default assignments.
• The DT-9 has one analog input (AI 1) and two analog outputs (AO 1 and AO 2). AI 1 is
normally used as the customer demand signal, AO 1 is normally used to control the motor
speed control and AO 2 is normally used as the customer feedback signal. These
assignments are hidden and should not be changed.
• The DT-9 has four slots for auxiliary analog I/O cards (channels A10-A13). These channels
are not normally used. Contact Stock engineering if special analog I/O signals are required.
2) Insure that the feeder is in OFF/Maint mode and that the touch screen HMI is set to the home
screen.
5) Unbalance the load cells by engaging the calibration weight on one side of the weigh roller.
The display should indicate volumetric mode. Unbalance each load cell in order to check
both sides, then remove the calibration weight(s).
6) Press and maintain the Jog>> button to verify that belt travel is in the in correct direction.
7) Run the feeder in LOCAL mode by pressing the Run>> button. The feeder will operate at the
maintenance speed programmed in P02.16. Check the motor speed for stability.
8) Run the feeder in LOCAL by pressing the Run>> button. Set the Belt Drive Motor (Run
Enable) switch to the STOP position. The feeder should stop and the display should show a
IL01 Event: Run Disabled error message. Acknowledge the event and return the Belt Drive
Motor switch to its normal position.
9) Stop the feeder and deflect the material-on-belt limit switch paddle to simulate a loaded belt.
Run the feeder in the LOCAL mode to verify that the feeder trips. If it does not, check the
adjustment of the paddle switch cams.
10) Check the event display or the event line on EasyServe. They should both show a WM12
Material-on-Belt alarm message with a time stamp. Acknowledge the event and return the
coal-on-belt paddle to its normal position
12) Align the analog inputs and outputs as describe in section 4.5.
13) Hang the calibration weights. Produce or simulate a feeder start permissive. Check feedrate
and feedback linearity by applying demand signals of 100, 75, 50, and 25 percent. Compare
each demand signal applied to the feedback signal output. Compare the demand feedrate
setpoint (service value 4) with the measured feed rate of the feeder for each signal.
14) Energize the feeder in the REMOTE mode and deflect the discharge pluggage alarm (or
touch the discharge pluggage sensor with a metal rod). After the preset delay in P15.10, the
feeder should be de-energized. If the feeder does not trip, check the adjustment of the cams
for the paddle switch or the sensitivity setting of the sensor according to the procedure in the
original equipment manual.
Note: In any given application, the majority of the DT-9 parameters are either not used, or fixed by
the design of the feeder and cabinet. These parameters can be viewed using EasyServe in expert
mode (default password 7353) but should not be changed.
The controllers will come preprogrammed from Stock Equipment Company but if changes are
needed, there are two ways to do this:
The following is a list of parameters that are commonly changed during startup. Their values should
be recorded for future reference. See section 9 for a complete list and detailed descriptions.
P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate and P03.05 Maximum Feedrate Actual: ______________
These parameters set the feedrate associated with a 100 % demand signal (usually 20 mA). They
must always be set to the same value. See project specific documentation for the correct value.
This parameter is the belt speed associated with the nominal (maximum) feedrate and the nominal
material density. It is calculated as:
(P02.05 Nominal feedrate) / (300 X Nom. Density X P04.10 Load cross section)
Inputs are in Lbs/hour, lbs/cubic ft and square feet. Results are in inches/sec.
This parameter sets the minimum feedrate clamp. See project specific documentation for the
correct value.
This parameter selects the text string displayed on the top line of the touch screen HMI.
These parameters select the units and formats that are used to display the various feeder
information on the display.
This parameter selects the demand signal to the motor speed control when the feeder is running
in local mode. It is normally set to 50%.
This parameter specifies the length of belt that is supported by the load cells. It must be set to the
distance between the first weigh span roller and the central weigh roller (one half the distance
between the weigh span rollers). See project specific documentation for the correct value.
This parameter specifies the characteristics of the motor tachometer. See project specific
documentation for the correct value.
This parameter specifies the area under the leveling bar. See project specific documentation for
the correct value.
P07.02 sets the maximum time between Belt Motion Monitor (BMM) pluses and P07.03 selects
the type of event that is generated when this limit is exceeded. Set P07.03 to IG if a BMM is not
installed. See project specific documentation for the correct values.
This parameter specifies the distance between the calibration probe bosses. See project specific
documentation for the correct value.
This parameter specifies the actual value of the calibration weigh. This value is stamped on
the weight.
These parameters specifies the cleanout conveyor duty cycle. Set P13.02 to zero to run the cleanout
conveyor continuously.
These parameters control the Loss of Material on Belt event. Setting P05.14 to A causes the feeder
trip (stop the feeder) when the coal on belt signal is lost during normal operation. Setting P05.14 to
W1 or W2 will produce a warning. P05.13 sets the delay between the time that the signal is lost and
the time that the event is generated (This is normally set to one second). Set P05.14 to IG to disable
this feature.
These parameters are used to control the Level/Temperature Sensor event. The Level/Temperature
Sensor input is normally connected to either a flow monitor in the downspout or a temperature switch
at the feeder discharge. Setting P15.21 to A causes the feeder trip (stop the feeder) when the coal
flow monitor indicates a loss of flow in the downspout. Setting P15.21 to W1 or W2 will produce a
warning. P15.20 sets the delay between the time that the signal is detected and the time that the
event is generated. Set P15.20 to 100 Lbs for a quick response. Set P15.21 to IG to disable this
feature. See project specific documentation for the correct value.
These parameters specify the Ethernet communications address. The default values should not be
changed unless the DT-9 is connected to a local network.
4.4 Calibration
The feeder should be calibrated at startup, after one month of initial operation and every six months
there after. Calibration should also be performed following a weigh roller adjustment or replacement
of the belt, the CPU board, or a load cell module. The controller should also be calibrated after the
controller firmware is updated or a Load Default Values operation is performed. Calibration is
accomplished in two separate steps.
Step one of calibration consists of the elimination of system tare, which includes the weight of the
weigh roller, load cell support assembly, and the feeder belt. It also involves measuring belt speed
and its relationship to motor speed. Step two calibrates the load cell output with a known weight.
Cancellation of feeder tare is performed by measuring the average weigh system output over exactly
two belt revolutions (eight tape passes) and then subtracting this amount from the total weight
measurement. When the belt is running empty, it produces a zero average contribution to the
totalized weight. In normal operation, the average tare is automatically subtracted from the gross
weight of the belt. Therefore, only the material weight on the belt is reflected as totalized weight.
The span of the weighing system is set after the tare has been measured. A known weight is applied
to the weigh roller and the average output over exactly two belt revolutions (eight tape passes) is
measured. This calibrated span factor is stored in memory and used to accurately determine the
value of the weight of the material on the belt.
NOTE: The DT-9 parameter P04.03 Effective Platform Length is the distance from either weigh span
roller to the central weigh roller, which is supported by the load cell. This is half the distance between
the two weigh span rollers. For any given feeder, the value used by the DT-9 should be one half of
the value used by the 196NT.
Note: At least one Basic (Cal 1) must be performed prior to performing a Span (Cal 2).
The following special calibration processes can be preformed for testing or special maintenance
operations, but are not normally required.
Note: Calibration is considered a local operation. No totalization takes place and analog feedback
signals are set to minimum.
NOTE: The parts shown may differ from those that actually shipped. This figure is to be used
as a general guideline.
2) Insert the checking bars (A2451-1) through the discharge end access door of the feeder,
adjacent to the sides of the belt, and with their machined surfaces resting on the weigh span
and weigh rollers.
3) Beginning on either side, insert a 0.005 in. shim between each of the three rollers and the
machined surface of the checking bar (three places).
4) Loosen the jam nut, and then turn the adjustment block to lower the weigh roller.
5) Slowly turn the adjustment block to raise the weigh roller until the shim is touching both
checking bar and weigh roller (slip fit). Tighten the jam nut.
6) Similarly, adjust the weigh roller on the opposite side of the feeder.
9) The feeder must be recalibrated after weigh roller adjustment. (See procedure on next page.)
Note: The calibration results are not saved to the parameter table until the operator accepts them
buy pressing <Apply> in EasyServe, <SAVE> on the (optional) Touch Screen HMI or <ENTER> on
the 196NT display.
Requirements:
• The weigh span must be level prior calibration. If the weigh roller height has been adjusted, a
complete calibration (Basic (Cal 1) and Span (Cal 2)) must be performed.
o The tape clips must be farther apart than the distance between the cal probes or a
Probe Error will be generated and the calibration will not complete.
o Four tape clips are normally used but two can be used if the feeder is very shot or
eight can be used if the feeder is very long or slow. If two tape clips are used, the
feeder will be calibrated over four belt revolutions, instead of two, and P10.11 Belt
Circuit No. will be twice the correct value. If eight tape clips are used, the feeder will
be calibrated over one belt revolution and P10.11 Belt Circuit No. will be half the
correct value.

Speed, then at the full value of P02.16.
6) After Stabilizing, the feeder will go through eight tape passes. The DT-9 will display the pass
number and tachometer pulses on the screen.
7) Upon completion of the calibration four values will be displayed on the screen:
8) After successful completion, the screen will prompt you to either save or cancel the
calibration values.
Note: If the calibration results in bad values, correct any mechanical issues and run the
calibration program again.
9) Press the <SAVE>, < ENTER> or <Apply> button to store the new calibration values, or the
<EXIT> or <Cancel> button to abort the calibration leaving the parameters unchanged.
10) After the calibration has been performed, verify that the results are consistent by comparing
the latest values of P10.02 and P10.10 to the previous values (Recorded in step 1).
Calculate the percent change using the formula [100 x (new value - old value) / (new value)].
If the result is greater then 0.25 %, check for mechanical errors in the weigh system and
repeat the calibration.
Note: The calibration results are not saved to the parameter table until the operator accepts them
buy pressing <Apply> in EasyServe, <SAVE> on the (optional) Touch Screen HMI or <ENTER> on
the 196NT display.
Requirements:
• The weigh span must be level prior calibration. If the weigh roller height has been adjusted, a
complete calibration (Basic (Cal 1) and Span (Cal 2)) must be performed.

then 0.25 %, check for mechanical errors in the weigh system and repeat the calibration.
• Setting analog trim values using the touch screen HMI (See section 5)
NOTE: The plant combustion control system is the preferred source of the demand signal. This will
precisely align the feeder to the control system.
The DT-9 has one built in analog input (4-20 mA or 0-10VDC) and two built in analog outputs
(4-20mA only). These I/O channels are described below.
1) AI 1: Connected to wires SIG+ & SIG- (X6-3, X6-4 or X6-3, X6-5). This input is normally used
for the customer demand signal. The value in P03.02 Feedrate Setpoint (normally hidden)
should be set to AI 1.
2) AO 1: Connected to wires 142, 143 & 144 (X6-6 and X6-7). This output is normally used for
the motor speed control (VFD). The value in P11.03 Motor Speed control Output should be
set to AO 1.
3) AO 2: Connected to wires 139, 140 & 141 (X6-8 and X6-9). This output is normally used for
the customer feedback signal. The value in P14.04 AO: Actual Flow Rate should be set
to AO 2.
In addition to the built in analog channels, there are four slots in which analog I/O cards can be
installed. Parameter group 1 is used to assign each slot to an analog I/O channel (AI 2 through AI 5
or AO 3 through AO 6). Slots can be either input or output, depending on the type of card installed.
Each card is individually isolated.
Notes:
1) The following values and settings remain stored after power failure:
o Counter readings

The Mode Select buttons are located on the bottom left of the Home screen, and are used to select
the operating mode of the feeder (See sections 3.4 and 3.5 for more information on
operating modes).
• Material Total is the total amount of material delivered by the feeder, and is the sum of the
Gravimetric and Volumetric Totals.
• Gravimetric Total is the total amount of material delivered by the feeder while operating in
Gravimetric Mode.
• Volumetric Total is the total amount of material delivered by the feeder while operating in
Volumetric Mode.
• The [Reset] button will reset all three totalizers. The total values cannot be recovered after
the [Reset] button is pressed.
• Belt Speed shows the current speed of the belt in feet or meters per second.
• Belt Load shows the weight of the material on the belt per unit of belt length in pounds per
foot or kilograms per meter.
• Speed shows the shaft speed of the belt drive motor in revolutions per minute.
• Density shows the currently calculated density of the material on the belt in pounds per cubic
foot or kilograms per cubic meter.
The following buttons are initially shown on the “Setup” screen: [Data Log], [Event Log], [Param Log],
[Parameter], and [] (Right Arrow).
Pressing the Right Arrow button causes the display to scroll to the following additional buttons: [Trim],
[Defaults], [Simulation], [Calibration], and [Set Time]. Pressing the Right Arrow button again will cause
the display to scroll back to the initial list of buttons.
The [Trim], [Defaults], and [Calibration] buttons will be grayed out and unavailable unless the user is
logged in to the DT-9. The user must also log in before changing any of the parameters that are
accessed via the [Parameter] button.
The following subsections describe the various screens that are accessed via the buttons on
the “Setup” screen.
The top half of the “Parameter” screen displays the current Parameter Block. The bottom half of the
screen displays the various parameters that are available in the selected Parameter Block. Press the
Up and Down Arrow buttons to scroll through the various blocks and parameters.
To change the value of a parameter, press the [Edit] button (Note: the user must be logged in to
change parameter values). If the parameter contains a list of possible settings, a set of Up and Down
Arrow buttons will appear and can be used to scroll through the available options. If the parameter
contains a discrete value, a text box will appear. Press the [Save] button to save any changes that
were made to the parameter value, or press the [Exit] button to exit without saving any changes.
Any active analog input or feedback must be matched or adjusted to the DT-9 controls. Two signals
levels must be adjusted for each channel used. The first signal level, MIN, corresponds to the lower
value being adjusted and is transmitted when the feed rate is at 0%. The second level, MAX,
corresponds to the higher value being adjusted and is transmitted when the feed rate is at 100%.
Note: If the feeder is not equipped with a remote analog demand input, the input alignment can be
omitted. If an analog output signal is not present, the output alignment section can be omitted.
Note: Unlike the 196NT, it is necessary to trim the analog output channel (normally AO 1) that is used
to control the motor speed control.
• When setting the output channels use a meter to measure the signal on:
1) Press [Trim] to initiate the Trim function. Analog Output Channel 1 is always the first one
displayed. To access other channels use the arrow up or down buttons. Press [Exit] to get
back to the main screen.
2) When aligning the output channels, the minimum and maximum analog signals are sent by
the DT-9. The user measures and enters the actual values. The AO 1 values are stored in
P17.11 and P17.12, and the AO 2 values are stored in P17.13 and P17.14.
a. Press the Down arrow button to scroll to the measure mode for output channel
AO 1 Min. The DT-9 will output the minimum signal value. The display will ask for the
measured value. Enter the value measured on your meter in the “Analog value
measured” text box then press [Save] to store.
b. Press the Down arrow button to scroll to the measure mode for output channel
AO 1 Max. The DT-9 will output the maximum signal value. The display will ask for
the measured value. Enter the value measured on your meter in the “Analog value
measured” text box then press [Save] to store.
3) When aligning the input channel AI 1, the minimum and maximum analog demand signals are
applied to the input signal wires of the DT-9. The analog demand is measured then stored in
P 17.01 Analog Input 1 Min and P 17.02 Analog Input 2 Max.
a. Press [Trim] then use the arrow keys to select Analog Input 1 Min. Press [Start] to
enter the measure mode. The first value measured is the minimum analog demand
signal AI 1. Use either a precision source or, preferably, a minimum demand signal
directly from the combustion control system. The display will show the value being
measured from the source. Press [Save] to store the value.
b. Press the Down arrow button to scroll to the maximum analog demand signal AI 1
and press [Start] to enter the measure mode. Use either a precision source or,
preferably, a maximum demand signal directly from the combustion control system.
The display will show the value being measured from the source. Press [Save] to
store the value.
The [Set Time] button allows the user to edit the current Date and Time. The current values are
displayed, and can be edited via a text box.
2) When starting the feeder, open the inlet valve slowly to load the belt at a controlled
rate and to minimize compaction at the feeder inlet.
3) Energize the feeder controls at the disconnect switch in the control cabinet. Observe
that the HMI is illuminated.
4) From the [HOME] screen, press the [Remote] button. Upon receipt of a customer-
generated feeder start command and a demand signal from the combustion control
system, the feeder begins to operate and the display indicates that the feeder is
running forward.
5) As material fills the feeder belt, the display indicates that the feeder is
feeding material.
6) The DT-9 will begin totalizing the weight and updating the current feeder information.
7) The feeder will respond automatically to the changing demands of the combustion
control system until it is de-energized.
8) For a brief stop with a loaded belt, press the [OFF/Maint.] button.
10) To jog the feeder belt forward, press the [OFF/Maint] button followed by the [Jog >>]
button on the microprocessor keyboard for as long as motion is required. Pressing
the [<< Jog] button will jog the feeder belt backwards.
11) To operate the feeder in the MAINTENANCE mode for inspection or servicing, press
the [OFF/Maint] button followed by the [Run >>] button. The feeder will run forward at
the speed programmed in P02.14 Maintenance Speed. Pressing the [<< Run] button
will cause the feeder to run backwards at the same speed.
7.3 Installation
EasyServe
Insert CD VPC20150 into CD-ROM drive. Normally, installation starts automatically. If not, open
Windows explorer select your CD-ROM drive. To open, double click on file. The automatic installation
program prompts you through a number of dialogs, for you to confirm.
Upgrade
If an old EasyServe version is available on your PC it must be removed (using Control Panel | Add or
Remove Programs) before the installation can be performed.
Attention
To be able to install the EasyServe program, your name must be registered as user in the group of
administrators under Windows® 2000/XP/Vista. Top execute program, main user rights are required.
DO NOT use the RJ45 connector marked X96 to connect the DT-9 to a laptop or PC. This
connector is designed to supply power for the Touch Screen HMI through normally unused
connections. Connecting a PC to X96 could cause damage to the DT-9, the PC or both. A
red cover is normally installed over this connector to prevent it from being used with a PC.
The EasyServe program and an Ethernet connection are used for most DT-9 Programming
operations. The DT-9 cannot generate an IP address for the computer running EasyServe so the PC
must be set to a static IP address. The DT-9 default IP address is 192.168.240.1 and the PC must be
on the same subnet. Set the PC address to 192.168.240.254 as starting point. One of several ways to
do this is listed below.
Windows® XP
2) Double click on the Local Area Connection line to bring up Local Area Connection Status
dialog box. If you have more then one Local Area Connection you probably want to select
the one that is not connected.
3) Click on the Properties button (under the General tab) in the Local Area Connection Status
dialog box. This will bring up the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
4) Under the General tab, scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) line, select this line then
press the Properties button. This will bring up the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties
dialog box.
5) In the General tab, the Obtain an IP address automatically button will normally be set, and
the Alternate Configuration tab will be visible. Select the Alternate Configuration tab.
6) If an alternate IP address has already been entered, record this value. Select the User
Configured button then enter the IP address (192.168.240.254) and the Subnet mask
(255.255.255.0) to use with the DT-9. Leave the Default gateway field blank.
Note: It is not necessary to remove the alternate IP address once the DT-9 update has been
completed. When the Ethernet port is configured as described above, the PC/Laptop can be
connected to a DT-9 or a company network without changing the settings.
9) Make the physical connection to the DT-9 by installing a CAT 5 cable (either straight through
or crossover) between the PC Ethernet port and any of the RJ45 connectors on the DT-9
except X96. X96 uses normally unused connection to supply power to the Touch Screen
HMI and connecting a PC to X96 could cause damage to the DT-9, the PC or both. See the
warning above.
10) Start EasyServe and select the Connection | MODBUS TCP (Scanner) option. The controller
if connected should be displayed. Select the controller and select Connect.
11) If there are more than one Ethernet connection on the computer EasyServe may have a
problem deciding which one to use. Rebooting the computer (not just logging out) while the
DT-9 is connected and running will usually fix this problem. If this doesn’t work the other
connection may have to be disabled.
Windows® Vista
3) Click on the Manage Network Connections line, on the left side of the window.
4) Double click on the network connection that will be used to communicate with the DT-9.
This is normally marked Local Area Connection.
5) In the Local Area Connection Status window, click on the Properties button. This will
bring up the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box.
Once registered any parameter changes or commands are sent to the feeder immediately.
To unregister click the yellow key toolbar button and make it go back to red lock (or go to Edit –

Requirements
• Calibration weight.
Requirements
• Calibration chain.
Requirements
• Handling route from weighing platform to material collecting point is totally clean.
• No material is diverted during the test.
• If feed screws or air slides are provided between platform and collecting point, run the system
with material for approx. 30m minutes before starting the material test. This will allow the
normal build-ups to form on feed units.
• Do not remove dust or clean the equipment during the test.
• Hoppers or vehicles transporting the material to a legal-for-trade commercial scale have been
cleaned and re-weighed before filling (tare weight).
Example:
Figure 7-1 shows the operating principle of a material test.
Within a certain period of time, e.g. 15 min., an actual material amount MW of 4.9 t is fed. The
material value MA displayed on DISOCONT is 5.0 t. The new value of P 09.01 "Range Correction" is
computed using the following formula:
Parameters can be changed during operation. However, parameters influencing measuring result,
e.g., display filters, must not be changed.
Default Values:
The DT-9 controller saves two different sets of default parameter value, referred to as Factory
Defaults and Custom Defaults. Factory Defaults are set in the controller firmware and cannot be
modified. These values provide a common starting point for new systems. Custom Defaults can be
modified in the field and can store the custom settings used for a particular installation. Custom
Defaults are set during factory testing.
All parameters are preset with default values that don’t normally need to be changed. You can recall
default values using the "Load Factory Defaults" function and the “Load Custom Defaults” function.
Identification:
"Group number - parameter number - parameter name", e.g., P01.02 Com. Error ARM7.
Parameters Attributes:
The DT-9 is versatile system that can be user programmed for a variety of application and many of
the parameters required for one application are not required for others. To simplify operation, each
parameter has a parameter attribute that can be set to hidden (H), read only (R) or read/write (W).
Special parameters that are not normally used in Stock feeders are factory set to default values and
then hidden. Their current values, default values and hidden status can be changed in EasyServe,
using Expert Mode (Menu: Edit | Expert Mode). The default password is 7353.
There are parameters whose availability depends on other parameters setting values. These
dependencies are stated in the header of every parameter description.

Hardware Configuration
When parameters are set, the source determines whether unit, channel and level must be additionally
indicated or not. The following table applies:
EIO AO1-AO4
LC VSE1-VSE3
DI VEA1-VEA3 DI1-DI4 High, Low
VSE1-VSE3
EIO DI1-DI16
DO VEA1-VEA3 DO1-DO5 High, Low
VSE1-VSE3 DO1-DO4
EIO DO1-DO16
Fieldbus (FB), control unit (OP), speed (v), are not assigned (n/a) and the low-resolution analog input
(DI4) does not require additional specification for unit, channel or level.
Analog inputs (AI), outputs (AO) and load cell (LC) require the unit to be specified.
Digital inputs (DI) and outputs (DO) require unit, channel and level to be specified.
Example:
Parameter P 16.21 determines the relay output that indicates that a W1 or W2 event is active.
The first row shows the parameter description and default values. By default, the output relay is either
DO8 for the VCU 20103, or DO 13 for the VCU 20104. The available digital outputs for the two DT-9
versions are shown in the next two rows.
Example:
Parameter P 01.02 determines the response to event SY 12, Communication Error ARM 7.
The first row shows the parameter description and default values. By default, an alarm is generated
and the feeder is stopped. The second row shows the event group and number (SY 12), and the third
row shows the available digital outputs for the two DT-9 versions. All of the normal event options are
available for this event.
Parameters in this group are used to select the error conditions that are generated by communication
errors and to indicate to the controller which I/O module has been installed in each of the analog I/O
slots. The analog I/O channels that are defined here are used in later parameter groups.
The VCU 20103 has three built in analog channels and four slots for analog I/O modules. On the
VCU 20103 channel A10 is closest to the power supply and channel A13 is farthest from the power
supply.
This parameter selects the error condition generated when communications between the DT-9 and
the touch screen HMI are lost for more then 10 seconds. The touch screen HMI must be connected
to the X96 Ethernet port. This connector is located toward the center of the board, is marked in red
and is keyed for a special cable.
This parameter selects the error condition generated when communications between the ARM9 main
processor and the ARM7 auxiliary processor are lost.
This parameter must always be set to A (Stop feeder) because the controller can not operate when
communications are lost.
Normally Hidden
This parameter specifies the analog I/O card that is installed in position A10. It is connected to
terminal blocks X12-1 and X12-2.
This I/O port is not normally used on the VCU 20103 and this parameter is normally set to NO.
Normally Hidden
This parameter specifies the analog input card that is installed in position A11. It is connected to
terminal blocks X12-3 and X12-4.
This I/O port is not normally used on the VCU 20103 and this parameter is normally set to NO.
Normally Hidden
This parameter specifies the analog input card that is installed in position A12. It is connected to
terminal blocks X12-5 and X12-6.
This I/O port is not normally used on the VCU 20103 and this parameter is normally set to NO.
Normally Hidden
This parameter specifies the analog input card that is installed in position A12. It is connected to
terminal blocks X12-7 and X12-8.
This I/O port is not normally used on the VCU 20103 and this parameter is normally set to NO.
This parameter selects the language used in DT-9 displays. When it is set to “OTHER” the individual
display strings can be set using EasyServe.
This parameter selects the units used for displays and parameter inputs. Either SI (metric) or normal
American (English) units may be selected. The table below shows the conversion factors that are
used.
The same values are used for combination units (e.g., kg/hr.)
This parameter specifies the text string to identify the feeder and is shown on the top line of the touch
screen HMI.
This parameter specifies the password used to restrict access to various controller functions.
Note: This parameter can be changed using EasyServe in the event that the password is lost.
Note: Some functions may require and alternate password. The default value is 7354.
This parameter is used to specify the feeder design feedrate. It is similar to 196NT Setup 05
(Maximum Feedrate) and is used for limit alarms and display outputs. It should always be set to the
same value as parameter P03.05 Maximum Feedrate. It is also used to scale the analog I/O channels
and to calculate the simulated load when the controller is installed on a volumetric feeder.
This parameter is set based on customer requirements and the mechanical design of the feeder.
Check the project manual or certified drawings to insure that the proper value is selected.
Note: If both P04.07 Belt LC Left and P04.08 Belt LC Right are set to Not Used, the load cells will be
disabled and the system will operate as a volumetric feeder. The DT-9 will calculate an assumed belt
load based on P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate and P02.06 Nominal Belt Speed as shown below.
Nominal Belt Load = (P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate) / (3600 X P02.06 Nominal Belt Speed)
Where:
This parameter is used to scale the belt speed analog output (i.e., Maximum analog signal = Nominal
speed) and serves as the reference value for limit value monitoring. Nominal speed, together with
nominal feedrate, is used to calculate the nominal belt load.
(P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate) / (300 X Nom. Density X P04.10 Load cross section)
Inputs are in Lbs/hour, lbs/cubic ft and square feet. Results are in inches/sec.
Note: If both P04.07 Belt LC Left and P04.08 Belt LC Right are set to Not Used, the load cells will be
disabled and the system will operate as a volumetric feeder. The DT-9 will calculate an assumed belt
load based on P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate and P02.06 Nominal Belt Speed as shown below.
Nominal Belt Load = (P02.05 Nominal Flow Rate) / (3600 X P02.06 Nominal Belt Speed)
Where:
This parameter allows the operator to either, accept the standard set of display formats (determined
by the controller based on the P02.03 Nominal flow rate) or to select the display formats individually
using parameters P02.08 through P02.11.
This parameter should be set according to customer preference. The default value is STANDARD,
which is suitable for most applications.
This parameter selects the format used to display feedrate values. It is only visible when parameter
P02.05 Display Formats is set to SELECTABLE and the available options depend on the selection
value of parameter P02.02 Units.
This parameter selects the format used to display the total value in Counter 1. It is only visible when
parameter P02.05 Display Formats is set to SELECTABLE and the available options depend on the
selection value of parameter P02.02 Units.
This parameter selects the format used to display the total value in Counter 2. It is only visible when
parameter P02.05 Display Formats is set to SELECTABLE and the available options depend on the
selection value of parameter P02.02 Units.
This parameter selects the format used to display the total value in Counter 3. It is only visible when
parameter P02.05 Display Formats is set to SELECTABLE and the available options depend on the
selection value of parameter P02.02 Units.
This parameter specifies the digital output used for the Total Coal Integrator (TCI).
The TCI cycles continuously while the feeder is in operation. To prevent premature failure of the
output relay this parameter should always be set to DO 12 (Reed Relays - Terminal blocks X16-3
through X16-6).
This parameter sets the weight associated with each Total Coal Integrator (TCI) pulse. It is the same
as 196NT Setup 07 (Remote Totalizer Data Logging Increment).
The TCI output frequency is based on parameter P02.11, parameter P02.12 and the actual feedrate.
If the values selected for these parameters require an output frequency greater then the maximum
frequency of the selected device, an error (MF 14 - P02.13) will be generated. See parameter P02.12
for more information.
This parameter sets the duration of each Total Coal Integrator (TCI) pulse. It is the same as 196NT
Setup 35 (Remote Totalizer Pulse Width).
The TCI output frequency is based on this parameter, parameter P02.11 and the actual feedrate. If
this combination of values requires an output frequency greater then the maximum frequency of the
selected device, an error (MF 14 - P02.13) will be generated.
When the TCI output is directed to an open collector or reed relay output the maximum possible pulse
frequency is 10 Hz (P02.12 set to 0.05 sec). When the TCI output is directed to a mechanical relay
output the maximum possible pulse frequency is 1.0 Hz (P02.12 set to 0.5 sec). When the pulse
length (P02.12) is increased, these values are reduced.
To insure that the TCI output works correctly the maximum pulse frequency must always be less then
the maximum possible frequency.
This parameter selects the error condition generated when totalizer pulses for the Total Coal
Integrator (TCI) output are generated faster then the TCI output can operate. See parameter 02.12

This parameter sets the maximum delay between Belt Motion Monitor (BMM) pulses before a BMM
error (P07.03 Belt Motion Error) is generated. It is the same as 196NT Setup 17 (Belt Motion Monitor
Delay). The interval is determined when the feeder is operating at its minimum design feed rate and is

the tension roll or belt take-up pulley will be considerably longer than those for sensors mounted to
the weigh span roller.
Example: If the motion monitor is mounted to the weigh span roller which make revolution every 20
seconds at minimum feed rate, the time interval between pulses before the belt is certain not to be
