Introduction to the Seven Functions of Guo Nuo Technology's Intelligent Electronic Belt Scale Instrument

An electronic belt scale is a weighing instrument for continuous weighing and measurement of bulk materials, mainly consisting of a load cell, a speed sensor, an instrument, and a scale frame. During weight measurement, the load cell collects the load of the material passing through the belt and outputs a weight signal proportional to the gravity of the material; the speed sensor collects the belt speed and outputs a speed signal; the instrument receives the weight and speed signals, processes them, and calculates and displays parameters such as the instantaneous flow rate and cumulative flow of the material in real time.

The role of the electronic belt scale instrument in the process is mainly to receive and process weight and speed signals, which is just the primary function of the instrument. With the development and widespread application of advanced technologies such as computer technology and network information technology, electronic belt scale instruments are becoming more intelligent, informative, and computerized, and their functions are becoming more diverse and powerful. Guo Nuo Technology, as an automation measurement and control manufacturer with extensive experience in the industrial measurement field, offers intelligent electronic belt scale instruments with the following functional categories:

1. Input Function

The instrument features numerous keys for easy operation, providing operators with input functions to set parameters, including input range, idler spacing, belt inclination, belt circumference, zero calibration, simulated calibration, and resolution for cumulative values. Additionally, query conditions can be set through the input keys to search measurement data.

2. Display Function

Guo Nuo Technology's belt scale instrument uses a color LCD screen to display various parameters in real time, such as instantaneous and cumulative flow rates, instantaneous weight per unit length of the belt, and belt speed, allowing operators to monitor the actual measurement situation. It also displays any abnormal conditions that may occur.

3. Computation Function

The computation function is a basic feature of the belt scale instrument, primarily involving the calculation of weight and speed signals. However, modern instruments offer various compensation calculations beyond the basics, such as nonlinear compensation and temperature compensation, with increasingly rich and accurate computation capabilities.

4. Alarm Function

In cases of abnormal conditions such as excessive instantaneous material flow, excessive instantaneous weight per unit length of the belt, excessive belt load, abnormal speed, instrument malfunction, or the cumulative flow reaching a preset value, the instrument automatically triggers alarms through various means such as sound and light, enabling operators to promptly address issues and prevent further impact on measurement and production.

5. Adjustment Function

The belt scale instrument allows for adjustments to parameters such as zero point, range, and sensor values. Adjusting parameters through the instrument simplifies operation and enhances the stability of the belt scale.

6. Output Function

The increasingly computerized belt scale instrument can communicate with other upper computers within the enterprise LAN, output data, and transmit it to servers via the network. The upper computers can then query the data through software systems.

7. Automatic Control Function

For electronic belt scales used in batching, the instrument also features PID regulation, feeder control, and manual switching functions, forming an automatic batching regulation system.

The increasing intelligence and functional richness of electronic belt scales, as well as their stability and accuracy in measurement, are largely attributed to the enhanced performance and functionality of the instruments. As technology advances, the functions of these instruments will continue to expand, significantly contributing to the stability and precision of electronic belt scales' overall performance.
