3 Overview
This chapter explains the principle functions of the DISOCONT Tersus system used in conjunction
with a Stock coal feeder.
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.

The microprocessor computes the feeder belt load by repeatedly reading the voltage signal from each
load cell and converting the signal into a digital value (binary number) using an analog to digital (A/D)
converter. Each value is then compared to parameters stored in permanent memory to determine if
the signal is within acceptable limits, and if it is, it is stored for use. The same operation is then
performed on the other load cell, and the signals are compared to each other to test their validity. If
the signals are determined to be invalid, the feeder is switched to volumetric operation and the
controller uses a simulated belt load calculated from an historical average stored in memory. If the
signals are determined to be valid, the two load cell signals are summed, the tare is subtracted and
the result is multiplied by a scaling factor based on the load cell data specified in P04.01 LC
Characteristic Value and P04.02 LC Rated Capacity to determine the nominal weight of material on
the belt. This nominal value is then multiplied by the three range correction factors (P10.03, P10.04
and P10.05) to determine the actual weight (QB).
The belt load (Q) is computed from the total weight (QB) as follows:
Q = QB / Leff
Q = Belt load in kg/m
QB = Weight of load on platform in kg
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.
Feedrate Control and Totals
The weigh and speed information is used to calculate the actual feedrate as shown.
Feedrate (I) = Belt load (Q) x Belt Speed (V)
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.
11
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.

4 DT-9 Setup
This section describes the startup process when a new feeder is installed or when an existing DT-9
is replaced.
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.
This section is a general description of the feeder setup process. This process can be
performed using either the touch screen HMI or a PC loaded with the EasyServe software.
Section 5 describes the Touch Screen HMI and Section 7 describes EasyServe.
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.

15) Check the event display or the event line on EasyServe. They should both show a WM07
Discharge Pluggage alarm with a time stamp. Acknowledge the event and return the
discharge switch to its original state.
16) Return the feeder to REMOTE operation.
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.
P02.06 Nominal Speed
Actual: ______________
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.

conveyor continuously.
P15.13 Loss of Flow Trip Delay
Actual: ______________
Actual: A / W1 / W2 / IG
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.
P15.20 Level/Temperature Sensor Delay
Actual: ______________
Actual: A / W1 / W2 / IG
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.

Actual: _____._____._____._____
P23.03 Gateway
Actual: _____._____._____._____
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.
17
While the empty belt is being weighed, the belt speed is also being accurately measured. This is done
by measuring the time it takes a retro-reflective marker, attached to the belt, to travel between two
fixed points on the feeder body. This parameter is measured eight times to determine repeatability
and to compensate for variations in belt thickness. From this data, the belt speed is calculated and
the relationship between belt speed and motor speed is established. The feeder operates with zero
belt slippage. Therefore, the ratio of belt speed to average motor speed is constant. This ratio is
stored in memory and is used to determine the belt speed for any motor speed.
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.

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.
7) Remove the checking bars.
8) Remove the calibration weights.
9) The feeder must be recalibrated after weigh roller adjustment. (See procedure on next page.)
19
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.
20
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.
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.
Calibration Procedure:
1) Before starting the calibration, record the values of parameters P10.02 Pulses per Length
and P10.10 Basic Tare. These will be used later to verify that the calibration results are
consistent.
2) If the calibration is being performed using EasyServe, navigate to the calibration window
using the Tools | Calibration Programs menu items. If the (optional) touch screen HMI is

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.
Note: The calibration probes are not used during this operation and do not need to be installed.
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.
25
Calibration Procedure:
1) Before starting the calibration, record the value of parameter P10.10 Basic Tare. This will be
used later to verify that the calibration results are consistent.
2) If the calibration is being performed using EasyServe, navigate to the calibration window
using the Tools | Calibration Programs menu items. If the (optional) touch screen HMI is
being used, first log in, then go to the calibration display by pressing the <Setup> and
<Calibration> buttons.
3) Select TA: Tare calibration.
4) Initiate the TA: Tare calibration process by pressing the <Start> button in EasyServe or the
(optional) Touch Screen HMI. This process cannot be performed using the 196NT display.
5) The feeder will begin to run and go through a stabilization process
o
6) After Stabilizing, the feeder will run for the specified time (P10.07 times P10.11). The DT-9
will display the percent completion and the current tare value as a percentage of the rated
belt load. The nominal belt load is defined as the nominal flow rate divided by the nominal
belt speed.
7) Upon completion of the calibration two values will be displayed on the screen:
o
Deviation Percent deviation between the new tare value and the previous value.
8) After successful completion, the screen will prompt you to either save or cancel the
calibration values.
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.
Note: If the calibration results in bad values, correct any mechanical issues and run the
calibration program again.
10) After the calibration has been performed, verify that the results are consistent by comparing
the latest value of P10.10 to the previous value (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.
26
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.
1) A10: Connected to terminal blocks X12-1 and X12-2. Can be assigned to AI 2 or AO 3.
2) A11: Connected to terminal blocks X12-3 and X12-4. Can be assigned to AI 3 or AO 4.
3) A12: Connected to terminal blocks X12-5 and X12-6. Can be assigned to AI 4 or AO 3.
4) A13: Connected to terminal blocks X12-7 and X12-8. Can be assigned to AI 5 or AO 6.

P 02.04 Password
Min: 1000
Max: 9999
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.
58
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:
Belt Load is in Lbs/inch
Feedrate is in Lbs/Hour
Belt Speed is in Inches/Second
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.
Nominal speed is calculated as:
(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:
Belt Load is in Lbs/inch
Feedrate is in Lbs/Hour
Belt Speed is in Inches/Second

selection value of parameter P02.02 Units.
This parameter should be set according to customer preference.
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).
61
Default: 100.00 lb
Min: 0.00 lb
Max: 100,000 lb
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 is normally set to either 100 Lbs or 100 Kgs.
Default: 0.100 s

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.
The maximum pulse frequency can be calculated as:
Frequency = ( P03.05 Maximum Feedrate) / ((3600) x ( P02.11))
Where the maximum feedrate is in lbs/hr and P02.11 is in lbs.
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.
The maximum possible frequency (in Hz) is calculated as:
Max. possible freq. = 1 / (2 X P02.12 (in sec))
To insure that the TCI output works correctly the maximum pulse frequency must always be less then
the maximum possible frequency.
This parameter is normally set to 0.1 sec.

Keyboard only
Keyboard & Local
Keyboard, Remote & Local
This parameter is used to enable the Remote (P15.23 DI: Remote CTRL) and Local (P15.25 DI: Local
Start) digital inputs. The Remote and Local digital inputs are edge triggered, meaning that their
function is initiated by the transition from OFF to ON or, ON to OFF rather then by their state. This
type of operation allows the feeder to be stopped due to and error condition or a keyboard input, even
when the digital input is active.
The operation of the Remote and Local digital inputs is described below.
Keyboard Only - Both the Remote and Local digital inputs are ignored at all times.
Keyboard & Local - The Remote input is ignored but the Local input is active. If the feeder is in
OFF/Maint mode and stopped, energizing the Local input will cause the feeder to run in Local mode.
If the feeder is in OFF/Maint mode and running, de-energizing the Local input will cause the feeder
to stop.
Keyboard, Remote & Local - Both the Remote and Local input are active. If the feeder is in
OFF/Maint mode and stopped, energizing the Local input will start the feeder in Local mode and
energizing the Remote input will force the feeder into Remote mode. If the feeder is in OFF/Maint
mode and running, the Remote input will be ignored and de-energizing the Local input will stop the
feeder. If the feeder is in Remote mode, the Local input is ignored and de-energizing the Remote

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
