Transportbandsystem

ContiTronic conveyor belt system-for identifying,
controlling and monitoring belt conveyors

The System


Transponders are electronic components (integrated circuits) capable of storing, sending and receiving data. Vulcanised into conveyor belts, they provide a whole variety of functions. They identify the conveyor belt by storing and transmitting all relevant data about belt type, design, application etc. They monitor the conveyor belt's condition and report damage (longitudinal slitting). They control the belt, or sections of it by analysing data via the host system. Transponders can be used in all kinds of conveyor belts in many branches of industry.

Conti's host computer can be programmed,
as control unit, to meet the requirements of
the application concerned. Performance features
comprise various standard solutions, as well
as complex central-control tasks. All inform-
ation can be presented in a visual form or ad-
apted following normal data transfer
( e.g. DUST 3964 ) from already existing
control systems.

Belt monitoring for early warning of slit damage is guaranteed by ContiTronic SAFE. This is achieved by connecting the transponders to special loops. Loops are identified so that damage is pinpointed clearly Damage is localised Loops are recognised even if they are damaged Control loops are easy to add and remove

ContiTronic JOINTDATA provides belt joint identification via special read/write transponders which are vulcenised into the belt joint:

All data can be written to the
transponder on-line
Continuous return documentation
is possible (total quality)
Data security is ensured by
cryptological encoding
Identification is also passive
via a portable unit
Input data is permanently readable
and retrievable

ContiTronic BELTCHECK automates
and simplifies belt inspection while the
system is in operation:

Conducts an automatic recognition run
Zero mark through belt metre definition
Has a built-in password, function
Records belt cycles and idle times
Allows teleprocessing of data
Can be networked with fieldbus interface
Information on belt condition is given as
LED readings
LCD display (4x20 characters)

Belt section control is carried out by ContiTronic SECTION which detects and distinguishes between the various transponder signals. Secondary information is assigned to the predefined belt sections: Defines unrelated belt sections Recognises different kinds of material handled Controls feed belts Controls stackers and spreaders Monitors and keeps track of the various belt sections
