This control is capable of variable output voltage over
a wide range of frequencies. This model should only be

may still be charged due to capacitance. Wait at least

capacitors to discharge.

General Description
This control is a variable voltage frequency controller. A front
panel display and keypad make set-up and operation an
easy task. This control can be used for manual or remote set
point control. Other features include amplitude regulation and
track control. Control of the vibratory feeder is accomplished
by using sinusoidal waveform impulses (modulated). This
method results in quiet operation.

Set-up
Using the buttons and the LED display located on

The feeder throughput adjustment and setting of
other parameters can be carried out by using these
components. The control can also be operated by
external means, such as potentiometers and signal

through the menu, which is accessed by a user
password. The various functions within the menu are
identified with capital letters for ease of recognition.
Enable and fault contacts are located inside the
control enclosure along with other user connection

Control Elements
Settings
The six buttons and a LED display found in the front
panel are used for operating and setting up the unit.
All operating methods and adjustable parameters can
be set up through this panel. The “I” and “O” buttons
are used for switching the unit ON and OFF, however,
these do not provide mains isolation, they simply
inhibit the power semiconductors.
The “P”, “F” and “Cursor Buttons” are used for
parameter adjustment. Parameters are set by
using menu controls, which are called up by
entering operator codes. The functions are
described in greater detail in the section on
setting instructions. The display value can be
increased or decreased by units, or tenths of units,
by a short press of the cursor buttons. Holding the
buttons down will cause the display to change in units
of ten.
To prevent accidental or unauthorized adjustment,
the adjustment parameters in the user menus are
protected. A code must be entered to open the user
menus. There are different pass codes for each
function group.
Setting adjustments are automatically saved upon
leaving the programming mode or if no button is
pressed for a period of 100 seconds.

Commissioning (cont.)
Determining the output frequency
(vibrating frequency)
It is essential that the output frequency is adjusted
with the set point set at a low frequency, otherwise on
hitting the resonant frequency, it is possible to achieve
a high amplitude with a low output voltage. An analog,
effective value, current indicating unit (moving iron
meter) must be connected into the output circuit.
Resonant is reached when there is a maximum
amplitude for a minimum output current. To
achieve a stable feed system, there must be
an offset between the vibrating frequency and
resonance (approx. 1-2Hz). This offset must be
determined by the user because different feeders
have different running characteristics.

Setting Instructions (cont.)
Mounting the Accelerometer
The accelerometer should generate signals for the
movement and acceleration of the feeder, which are
fed back to the regulator circuit of the control unit.
Therefore, it is very important that no other extraneous
vibration signals are picked up by the sensor.
The sensor should be positioned so that it moves in
the same direction as the feeder, ideally in the same
plane as the springs, and it should be fitted on a solid
block that will not generate vibration signals.

the feeder, produces a feedback loop, whereby

the signal generated from the sensor determines
the control range of the set point i.e. the regulator
or controls the feeder so that the effective value (feeder
power or intensity of vibration) relates to the provided
set point value. Because the effective value is
dependent on the feeder (frequency, acceleration and
amplitude) and in addition depends on the mounting
position of the sensor, the regulator must be adapted
to suit the output control range.

This is achieved by using the parameter P in Menu C

008. The measured sensor signal range is adjusted
by changing this value. In most instances, a value of
less than 100 must be entered, so that the set point
can reach 100% or can go as high as possible. When
it is not possible to achieve an acceptable range, the
accelerometer should be mounted in the location
which gives the greatest movement (see the bowl
feeder example).
