Example 3: NBC accumulation release to conveyor
NBC-C accumulation release to feed induction conveyor
Problem
Creating line pressure when feeding a slower conveyor
Solution
Use logic assembly as a discharge logic assembly
Configuration
Place Discharge Logic Assembly (DLA) downstream of conveyor discharge
zone.
Set mode to basic. Do not plumb airline to logic assembly.
User Action:
None needed.
Operation
The Discharge Logic Assembly is connected to the Logic Assembly at the
discharge end of the NBC conveyor. There is no need for a Function Module to
be attached to it. The DLA does not need to be given a release signal. Product
blocking that photoelectric sensor will stop release from the NBC discharge
zone, until the photoelectric sensor clears again. This operation is left enabled
and ready to function regardless of whether the induction conveyor is running or
off. There is no need to interface the CRUZcontrol operation with the induction
conveyor operation, since the functioning of it is based solely on product
movement.
NBC conveyor, when accumulating and subsequently releasing accumulated product, will result in
some amount of line pressure at the discharge end of the conveyor. This is caused by the momentum
of moving product coasting to a stop as it accumulates.
