1. SELECT THE PULSE SETTING
Match the control’s pulse mode to the feeder’s tuning:
A. For 60 pulse output - Set DIP switch (S1) to 60 on
the circuit card.
B. For 120 pulse output - Set DIP switch (S1) to 120
on the circuit card.
C. For 40, 30 or 60 Reverse pulse settings, see the
“S1 Programming Chart.”
Note: Readjust the MAX trimpot after changing
pulse switch setting.
2. LIMITING THE MAXIMUM
OUTPUT OF CONTROL
The
MAX
output trimpot can be adjusted to limit the
maximum vibration level of the vibratory feeder when
the Main Control Dial is fully turned up. When setting up
the MAX output of the feeder control, the output wiring
to feeder must be connected and the control set for the
proper pulse (60 or 120) setting. The Run Jumper must
be connected as shown on the wiring diagram or on the
ON/OFF Control Guide.
A. Power input should be
OFF
or disconnected.
B. Open cover to allow access to circuit card.
C. Adjust
the
MAX
Output trimpot counter-clockwise to
its minimum setting.
D. Using
CAUTION
, turn power
ON
(no output should
be present).
E. Rotate the
MAIN CONTROL DIAL
on front cover
clockwise to its highest setting.
F. Adjust the
MAX
Output trimpot so that the output to
the feeder reaches its desired maximum level.
3. SETTING THE MINIMUM
OUTPUT LEVEL OF CONTROL
When the vibratory feeder is nearly empty, turn the
MAIN CONTROL DIAL
to “1” and adjust the
MIN
trimpot to just below the slowest speed that provides the
proper feed rate. The MIN trimpot also serves as the
“low speed” trimpot for 2-speed operation. See “S1
Programming Chart” for feature selection details.
4. MAIN CONTROL DIAL
The output power is controlled by the
MAIN CONTROL
DIAL
. It is a logarithmic-tapered power out curve (non-
linear) that spreads the power broadly across the
MAIN
CONTROL DIAL
The logarithmic taper power curve
helps to give maximum "Fine Control" over the output
speed of the vibratory feeder. When very precise
adjustment of the
MAIN CONTROL DIAL
is needed,
increase the MIN trimpot setting and/or decrease the
MAX trimpot setting. For precise scaling at low
amplitudes, use the linear POT taper or reduce the
Max pot setting. To select a linear pot taper for the
Main Control Dial, see the “S1 Programming Chart.”
5. SETTING THE SOFT-START
The start-up rate of the control output can be adjusted
to ramp up to the desired output level instead of
starting abruptly. Soft-start keeps parts from falling
off the tooling, reduces spring shock, and hammering
when the control turns ON. Turn the
SOFT
Start
trimpot clockwise for the gentlest start (about a 6 sec.
ramp up to full output). Turn the trimpot fully counter-
clockwise for no soft start.
6. REMOTE OFF/ON CONTROL
A Run Jumper has been installed at the factory as
shown on the enclosed wiring diagram.
Remote OFF/ON operation of the CE-40
Plus
Series
Feeder Cube
®
control can be configured to
operate in one of the following ways.
A. A
low current switch
such as a paddle switch
can replace the factory-installed Run Jumper
"J1." The "Run Contact" connects to terminals 6
and 7. The contact must be able to switch 5VDC
and 2mA. The control will run only when the
contact is closed. Refer to Section A of the
OFF/ON CONTROL GUIDE.
B.
Feeder Bowl/Hopper Interlock
allows the
Hopper control to operate only when the Bowl is
running and the paddle switch contact is closed.
The
interlock input
on terminals 11 and 12 of
TB2 is controlled by the
interlock output
of a
"Parts Sensing Feeder Bowl Control" such as an
CE-90
Plus
.
Remove jumper "J1" of this control from terminals
6 and 7. Connect the Hopper Paddle switch to
alternate terminals 5 and 6. Connect TB2
terminals 11 and 12 of this control to the "Parts
Sensing Control". Refer to Section B of the
OFF/ON CONTROL GUIDE. Check specific
instructions for the "Parts Sensing Control"
wiring. Two CE-40 Series controls will not
interlock to each other since neither one has an
interlock output
.
C.
Low Voltage DC
can be used to turn the
control
ON
and
OFF.
Move jumper "J1" from
terminal 7, to terminal 5, (6 remains the
same). Then connect the positive signal (+10
to 30VDC @ 10mA) to terminal 12 and the
negative to terminal 11 of TB2. The control
will now turn
ON
when the DC signal is
present at terminals 11 and 12 of TB2. This
input is optically isolated. Refer to Section C
of the OFF/ON CONTROL GUIDE.
7. REMOTE SPEED CONTROL
Remote control of the power level can be
accomplished by the following methods:
A. 4-20mA signal from a PLC can be used to
remotely vary the output of the control instead of
the Main Control Dial. The 4-20mA input is
automatically in control whenever a 4-20mA
signal is applied to the control (terminals TB2-8
& 9). The Main Control dial setting is ignored
whenever there is a 4-20mA signal. The 4-20mA
input is transformer isolated from the power line.
In an environment with high electrical noise, use
a shielded cable for the 4-20mA signal. The “S1
Programming Chart” shows how change to 0-
20mA speed control instead of the default of 4-
20mA.
B. A 0-5VDC Analog input signal may be applied in
place of the Main Control Dial at H1. The 0-
5VDC input is transformer isolated from the
power line.
8. LINE VOLTAGE COMPENSATION
Fluctuations in the line voltage can cause a feeder
bowl to vary its feed rate. The line voltage
compensation feature adjusts the control's output
to help compensate for fluctuations in the supply
voltage. If it becomes necessary to disable this
feature, set “Disable LVC” from the S1
programming chart.
