Description of the device 

2.1

 

General 

Electronic controller IRG1-S for the infinitely variable regulation of magnetically driven 
vibratory bowl, linear or hopper feeders. 

The units operate using the phase-angle control principle to provide a variable output 
voltage for the drive magnet. Feeder throughput is adjusted with a potentiometer fit-
ted in the front plate.  The control range of the potentiometer can be scaled by using 
internal trimmers U

min

 / U

max

 so that adjustment is linear from 0...100 %. The control-

ler can be used with vibratory feeders that have a tuned frequency of 6000 vibs/min 
(7200  vibs/min)  or  3000  vibs/min  (3600  vibs/min)  (also  referred  to  as  full  and  half-
wave). The running frequency can be selected by setting an internal switch (see set-
tings).  An  adjustable  soft-start  timer  is  provided  to  ensure  that  the  feeder  starts  up 
smoothly when the mains supply is switched on or the control input is enabled.  

The controller can be enabled with a 24 Vdc signal from a PLC, for example (control-
ler runs when signal voltage is applied).  

Supply voltage variations are eliminated by an internal compensation circuit so that a 
constant feeder throughput is always maintained. 

 

NOTE 

 

Miniature magnets can also be operated safely at the IRG 1-S con-
troller! 

 

CAUTION

 

 

In the case of applications that require the oscillation conveyor to 
be  switched  ON  and  OFF  constantly  (e.g.  dust  switching,  hopper 
control  system,  etc.),  the  prescribed  controller  input  must  be 
used.  If  the  load  circuit  is  disconnected  with  a  switch  or  a  relay 
the controller may be damaged. 

If the controller is switched on, never insert or remove the plug at 
the  vibration  conveyor  being  operated.  This  can  damage  the  ap-
pliance.
