Example 5: CRUZcontrol around a curve. (High rate)
CRUZcontrol around a curve – High Rate
Problem
Product releasing into a curve then not having a zone to occupy.
This situation occurs because it takes longer for product to go from zone 5 to zone
4 than it does for product to go from zone 6 to zone 5.
Solution
Stop zone 5 releasing if line full photoelectric sensor is block for a predetermined
time period or if logic assembly in zone 4 is blocked due to accumulation.
Configuration
Plug full function module between zones 4 and 5.
Jumper JP3, 2-3 (logic interrupt)
Jumper JP4 not connected (zone status)
Set ZS on (R101) and ZS off (R102) potentiometers. Range is from 0-20seconds.
A normal operating range would be about 3 seconds each depending on the
speed of the conveyor.
Wire photoelectric sensor to TB4.
Blue wire TB4, 1 (0VDC)
Brown wire TB4, 2 (+VDC)
Black wire TB4, 3 (ZS INPUT)
Wire function module for time delay.
TB4, 1 (0VDC) to TB1, 1 (-)
TB4, 2 (+VDC) to TB3, 2 (COM)
TB3, 1 (NO) to TB1, 2 (+)
Operation
The Full Function Module is connected as shown just downstream of the last
accumulation zone prior to the curve. Release from that zone is stopped if the
Auxiliary Photo Sensor senses full accumulation (blocked for a time delay period),
or if the Logic Assembly just downstream of the curve stops the upstream release
due to being accumulated.
If the Logic Assembly just downstream of the curve is set to Basic Logic mode, the
release rate into the curve would be affected. The use of Progressive Logic mode
after the curve would allow for higher rates.
