TrueFeed manual

APPENDIX B SHOWS THE ELECTRICAL PRINT VIEW WHICH IS EXPLAINED BELOW

1. PROCESSOR BOARD

The processor board is the heart of the control.

The board must be fixed securely on the mainboard.

There is a Mac-address that is labeled on the process board. This is the ID of the networkcard.

This address can also be seen in the startup screen on the TrueFeed control display.

2. EXTERNAL TERMINAL CONNECTION

This connection is used when using an external terminal (Shielded cable max. 32.8 ft {10 m})

3. CONNECTION TO PC OR NETWORK

The Ethernet connection will be used when the TrueFeed is connected to a PC or

network. Maximum length of the UTP network cable, type RJ45 (Cat. 5) is 328 ft {100 m}

between two network points.

4. INPUTS

Start input

The TrueFeed needs an input signal from the production machine in order to operate.

Three (3) different input signals can be used to control the TrueFeed:

• Potential free start input (dry contact)

• Potential (24 VDC) start input

• Tachometer (0-30 VDC) start input

5. MOTOR

The TrueFeed can control two (2) motor types:

• LT (low torque) standard motor for normal feeding

• HT (high torque) motor for high output feeding

(See Chapter 5 for more details. See Appendix B for wiring diagram and electrical connection information.)

6. OUTPUTS

The TrueFeed has the following outputs available:

• [clamp 24-25] Valve output for hopper loader, (Solid state 24VDC/0.5 A)

• [clamp 22-23] Warning output (Solid state 24VDC/0.5 A)

• [clamp 26-27] Potential free relay (normally-open) output for alarm (max. 230VAC/30VDC, 5A)

• [clamp 28-29] Potential free relay (normally-open) output for running contact

(max. 230VAC/30VDC, 5A). This contact will be used to show that the TrueFeed motor is running.

The maximum total output power is 12 Watt (Valve output + alarm output together max. 0.5A)

(See Appendix B for wiring diagram and electrical connection information.)

7. POWER SUPPLY

The TrueFeed will operate with a voltage between 80 VAC to 260 VAC, 50 and 60 Hz

by an integrated automatic voltage selector.

(See Appendix B for wiring diagram and electrical connection information.)
