Control Devices for Metering and Batching Equipment
SD-01 Control System
SD-01 control system within a continuous belt batcher is aimed at providing volumemetric and gravimetric batching of continuous flow of bulk materials as per setup metrological parameters.
Operation Features
- Metering materials at the dumping section of batching conveyor
- Metering irregular distribution of the belt linear density
- Adjustment of material weighing when the length of belt changes
- Manual and automatic correction of discharge as per humidity and content of the materials
- Material batching as a continuous flow and as preset batch

SD-01 Supports the Following Batching Modes
- Volume metric - continuous batching basing on preset value of nominal rate of the conveyor belt
- Gravimetric - continuous batching basing on preset nominal rate of the batcher performance
- Batching - discharging a preset portion of materials in volume metric or gravimetric modes selected by the user

SD-01 Functionality
When controlled by the upper level (automatic mode) PCS, SD-01 control system for material supply provides the following:
- Receipt of instructions for start and cancellation of discharging, switching batcher operation modes (volume metric, gravimetric and batching), system restart
- Receipt and setup of material dose, preset and general capacity, rate of the batcher belt
SD-01 generates current data on the status of conveyor actuator, feeder and bin agitator (readiness and operation state), current capacity values, linear density and belt rate and forwards them to the upper level , also it generates data on current belt length, archive data reports on discharging for previous and current hours, shifts and days (up to 20 days).
Exchanging data with the upper level of SD-01 through standard Modbus RTU protocol.
When operating in manual mode SD-01 can provide the following functions from control panel:
- Operations on setting up instructions, discharge parameters setup and display, the same as for automatic operation mode
- Setting up weighing parameters, belt length, maximum belt rate, variable belt density
- Setting up process PID control parameters for conveyor motor, capacity limits, interface for data exchange with the upper level of PCS, agitator operation, limits of permissible conveyor belt slip
- Calculation of current weight of materials through processing signals from strain sensors
- Calculation of current rate and monitoring of belt slip through processing frequency signals from sensors of rotation for drive shaft and output shaft of the transporter
- Executing instructions to start, stop, setup and blocking operations through digital outputs
- Controlling the agitator and belt movement through digital signals on readiness, start and operation state of the agitator and conveyor drive
- Controlling belt rate through analogue control current signal (4-20 mA) to the conveyor drive
- Defining belt positioning on drums through signals from position sensors
- Digital display of the state through digital signals Operation of the agitator and conveyor drive, SD-01 being ready to operate with the upper level, emergency situations
- Calculation of current capacity basing on collected current data on material weight and belt rate

Design
SD-01 is designed as a cabinet with equipment located inside or as a panel to be installed to the cabinet (implemented solution - SKUD cabinet with three panels SD-01 and three BZP-08 units for parameter setup located on the door with control devices).
The following equipment is located to cabinet panel: control devices for batcher mode, BZP-08 unit for parameter input and displaying batching state.
Depending on the Customer's requirements, control system for batching can vary, and it will be reflected in the relevant design documents.

Batcher Control Principle
Control principle for continuous belt batcher is based on performance calculation P at the specific time moment:
|
![](../docs/uploaded/Formula1_SD-01.gif) |
where Q - linear density of material on the belt at the specific time moment V - belt rate at the specific time moment
|
In gravimetric batching mode the capacity set up by the user will be provided and supported.
Depending on the material linear density variations there could be deviations in current capacity from preset value. In order to support the preset value the rate of belt is to be adjusted.
In volume metric batching mode regular belt rate is supported and weight of the discharged material G(t) is calculated as per the following formula:
|
![](../docs/uploaded/Formula2_SD-01.gif) |
where G(t) is weight of discharged material Р(t) - current capacity t - current time Δt - time of discharge
