This Control Units Highlights
|
-
Underwriter's Laboratory and Underwriter's Canada Listed (File E183233). Respected throughout the United States and the Canadian Provinces.
-
Adjustable Ramp provides a Soft-Start for the feeder bowl to cycle
on gently. A ramped 'On Cycle' keeps piece parts from falling off the
tooling when the bowl turns 'ON' upon track level sensor demand. In
addition, the bowl tooling, drive mechanism, and drive springs are
shocked less with each 'ON' cycle.
-
Line Regulation adjusts the control's output to compensate for
fluctuations in the supply voltage. (Software version ADV 3.0 or
higher.) For severe power line fluctuations, see Rodix FC-190 closed
loop control.
-
NPN or PNP Track Level Sensor Interface. A single input is provided for either a NPN current
sinking or PNP current sourcing type sensor. 12VDC with 100ma of current is available for this
sensor and for other devices. A two position switch is provided to invert the sensor's logic from
Fiber Optic (Thru-Beam) to Reflective (or Proximity) operation logic.
-
An Auxiliary 'Run Jumper' Input is provided so the control can also be turned ON/OFF by a
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or other feeder control (bowl, conveyor, elevator, etc.,
equipped with an auxiliary output). This input can be controlled by a contact closure, NPN device,
or PNP device.
-
A Maximum-Output Limiting Adjustment allows you to preset the maximum output of the main
control pot. By limiting the 'Full ON' output, a machine operator cannot turn the main pot up too
high. This feature can prevent destructive 'Hammering' of the drive coils, tooling cracks, and spring
breakage.
-
A Special Logarithmic-tapered Power Output Curve is controlled
by the main control potentiometer. This spreads the power curve
broadly across the main pot dial helping give maximum 'Fine Control'
over the bowl's output speed. No more 'touchy settings' or 'tight'
bands of control.
-
Separate ON and OFF Delay Adjustment are provided (0-10sec)
for the track level sensor so a precise level of piece part flow may be
maintained to the machine.
-
Models are available for either 120 VAC or 240 VAC operation
and the controls will operate on either a 50 Hz or 60 Hz line frequency.
-
Full Wave/Half Wave Output is Switch Selectable from 120 pulses per second (Un-rectified) to
60 pulses per second (Rectified).
-
An Auxiliary 12VDC Output is turned 'ON' each time the bowl is 'ON'. This can be used to
interlock a storage hopper control or turn ON/OFF compressed air jet assists (when interfaced by
an external solid state relay and air valve).
