Chapter 1: Safety 1-1 How to Use This Manual Use this manual as a guide and reference for installing, operating, and maintaining your equipment. The purpose is to assist you in applying efficient, proven techniques that enhance equipment productivity. This manual covers only light corrective maintenance. No other maintenance should be undertaken without first contacting a service engineer. The Functional Description section outlines models covered, standard features, and optional features.
1-2 Warnings and Precautions Our equipment is designed to provide safe and reliable operation when installed and operated within design specifications, following national and local safety codes. This may include, but is not limited to OSHA, NEC, CSA, SPI, and any other local, national and international regulations.
1-3 Responsibility These machines are constructed for maximum operator safety when used under standard operating conditions and when recommended instructions are followed in the maintenance and operation of the machine. All personnel engaged in the use of the machine should become familiar with its operation as described in this manual. Proper operation of the machine promotes safety for the operator and all workers in its vicinity.
Operator Responsibility The operator’s responsibility does not end with efficient production. The operator usually has the most daily contact with the equipment and intimately knows its capabilities and limitations. Plant and personnel safety is sometimes forgotten in the desire to meet incentive rates, or through a casual attitude toward machinery formed over a period of months or years. Your employer probably has established a set of safety rules in your workplace.
Chapter 2: Functional Description 2-1 Models Covered in This Manual This manual provides operation, installation, and maintenance instructions for 7-Pump, 50D & D Plus-Station Conveying Controllers. Model numbers are listed on the serial tag. Make sure you know the model and serial number of your equipment before contacting the manufacturer for parts or service.

Safety Device Lock-Outs Some safety devices disconnect electrical energy from a circuit. The safety devices that are used in this Controller are primarily concerned with electrical power disconnection. WARNING! Always disconnect and lockout all electrical power and pneumatic (i.e.
Chapter 3: Installation 3-1 Uncrating 7-Pump, 50D & D Plus-Station Controllers are shipped mounted on a skid, enclosed in a plastic wrapper, and contained in a cardboard box. 1. Pry the crating away from the skid. Note: Remove the nails holding the box to the skid and lift the box off carefully; avoiding staples in the 1’ x 4’ wood supports. Cut the steel banding. 2. Use a pry bar to remove the blocks securing the unit to the skid. 3. Lift unit from sides, inserting forklift under the base.
7. After determining quantity and location(s) of where to install system power supply(ies) (consult factory); set up and connect to KwikLink connectors installed in Step 3. 8. Set up and connect vacuum receiver stations to ArmorBlocks installed in Step 3, using yellow patch cords. 9. Set up and connect vacuum pump stations and filter chambers to ArmorBlocks installed in Step 3, using yellow patch cords. 10. Determine location(s) of central alarm(s); set up and connect alarms using yellow patch cords.
Installing KwikLink Cable Before you install flat cable, determine how much length you need to install black power cable and grey data cable. Typical installations have equal lengths of each. This is a good time to plan for the future, and run these cables to each possible location in the plant. Use a straight-blade cable cutter to make the cut at each end. To install KwikLink cables: 1. Cut both black and grey cables to the proper length. 2.
Setting Up and Installing Mounting Plates Setting Up Mounting Plates It’s a good idea to get all your mounting plates set up with KwikLink connector bases or ArmorBlock cable bases before installation, as your system layout determines. Note: ArmorBlock cable bases are installed on mounting plates perpendicular in orientation to the flat cable runs. Vacuum hoppers/receiver stations require 8-connector ArmorBlocks; vacuum pumps and central alarm stations require 4-connector ArmorBlocks.
Terminating Cable Runs After you’ve run the black and grey network cables, you need to properly terminate the ends of the cables. By doing so, you’ll insure that the network runs properly. You will also have the benefit of being able to measure voltage in the system without disrupting operation. This section lists procedures for terminating these cables. To properly terminate a cable run: 1. Mount three standard KwikLink connectors to a mounting plate in a triangle configuration.
10. Drive the two screws at the center points about halfway down; first on the latch side, then the hinge side. 11. Continue to tighten the screws a little at a time until fully tightened; no more than 15 inch-pounds (5.6 N•m) of torque. Note: You can only pierce the cable once. Once pierced, the KwikLock connector must not be removed. This insures that the inner conductors are not exposed to the elements.
Addressing and Installing ArmorBlocks™ Addressing Armorblocks An ArmorBlock permits you to give it a number “address” so that the controller network system can recognize its location and function. ArmorBlocks are used at vacuum hopper/receiver, pump, and alarm node locations. ArmorBlock Address Ranges The number range of ArmorBlock addresses are as follows: • 01 to 50 — Vacuum hopper/receiver stations; use a leading zero for numbers 01 to 09.
Installing ArmorBlocks The ArmorBlock cable base should already be attached to the mounting plate, aligned so it is perpendicular to the flat cables. If not, reinstall it with its proper alignment. To install the flat cables in the ArmorBlock cable base: 1. Lay the flat cable into the ArmorBlock cable base, grey data cable on the bottom and the black power cable on the top, making sure that the keyed edge is properly seated toward the top. Caution! EXERCISE CARE when handling the seal block.
Figure 7: Securing the Seal Block to the Cable Base To secure the seal block: 1. Start the threads of each of the four captive screws into the cable base receptacle holes. 2. Drive each of the screws about halfway down, using the proper torque sequence: Bottom screw, top screw, left screw, right screw. Doing so insures that the cables are pierced evenly. 3. Using the proper torque sequence, tighten each screw, a little at a time, until the seal block is fully seated into the cable base.
Installing KwikLink™ Connectors KwikLink connectors let you connect the controller and the power supply to the system. They are also used to electronically terminate power cable and data cable runs. Just like ArmorBlocks, KwikLink connectors are insulation displacement connectors (IDCs). Caution! Exercise care when installing Kwiklink connectors. IDC blades on KwikLink connectors are SHARP! Gently push back any protruding IDC blades before installing flat cables inside.
Connecting the Controller to the Network To connect the controller to the network, make sure that the KwikLink connector is properly installed on the flat grey data cable. To connect: 1. Attach the keyed round connector to the terminal of the controller marked NETWORK NO. 1. Tighten the cord grip ring until snug. 2. Align the square connector of the grey drop cable so the cable leads down from the connector. Evenly press the square connector onto the top of the KwikLink connector.

Connecting the Power Supply Enclosure to the Network The power supply provides electrical power to make the system work. Some network layouts require more than one power supply. Location is also an important consideration when locating power supply enclosures on your network. Contact the factory for determining how many power supply enclosures your system needs, as well as where they need to be installed. After you’ve mounted the power supply enclosure(s), you can connect them to your network.

The System Setup screen appears: Note: Touching Help in the lower right of this screen gives you a menu of online help for the choices in this screen. (7/50D Plus Screen shown) Touching Return at the help menu brings you back to the System Setup screen. 3. Touch Stations Present in the upper left of the System Setup screen. A keypad pops up. 4. Enter the total number of stations (1–50) to be controlled by this controller.
Checking Addressing and Wiring for System Components Once you have set the number of stations and pumps as described previously, you should verify that the controller is communicating with all stations, pumps, and central alarms, and with the ArmorBlocks for all central purge valves. To do so: 1. At the System Setup screen, touch DeviceNet Node Status near the lower right of the screen. The DeviceNet Node Status screen appears: 2.
The DeviceNet Input Status screen appears: Station numbers are stacked vertically as column headings in this screen. 2. Check that all inputs are on (green) or off (black) as expected and that they switch on and off as required: a. Station demand switch: In a new installation, the box labeled Demand Switch should be green for every station (vacuum hopper) in the system. (All other boxes for demand switches will be black.
c. Station bypass switch: For every station, the box labeled Bypass Switch should match the state of the switch at the station. Flip the switches at the stations in order to check that: 1. Each station’s box is black when its bypass switch is in the “0” position (station ready to convey), and 2. Each station’s box is green when its bypass switch is in the “1” position (station bypassed). Leave each station with its bypass switch off (in the “0” position). d.
Setting Up Alarm Silences When an alarm occurs, a horn sounds and a strobe light flashes at each installed central alarm. The lower right corner of the controller’s screen turns into a button labeled Alarm Silence. Touching this button silences the horn(s) and turns off the light(s) for configurable periods of time. You can set different lengths of time for keeping the horn silent and keeping the light turned off. If a new alarm occurs, the horn sounds and the light turns on again.
Setting Up Pump Staging To avoid an excessive power demand at your facility when the conveying system starts up, you can stagger the times at which pumps start. Whenever a demand would cause two pumps to start simultaneously, your choice for pump staging sets the delay between the start of one pump and the start of the next. The factory default is a delay of three seconds. You need to change this setting only if this delay is too long or too short for your facility.
Setting Up Stations Before starting the system, you must define several settings for each station, such as which pump conveys material to it and whether the station has a slide gate. This section first discusses how to use the controller’s menu system to configure stations. The table on pp. 73– 77 discusses the individual choices. Setting Up a Single Station 1. Go to the Station Summary screen if needed. To reach this screen from any other screen, touch Stations on the right-hand side of the screen.

Chapter 4: Operation 4-1 Overview Your 7/50D Plus or 7/50D controller electrically controls valves and solenoids to convey material from a central location to individual stations as needed. The controller senses demands for material at the stations and responds to the demands in a timely fashion. This section gives the procedures for using your controller, and it covers tasks that can be carried out with no password or with an operator’s password.
4-3 Basic Tasks This section covers tasks that can be carried out with no password or with an operator’s password. Reviewing Station Status The starting point for all operations is the Station Summary screen. To reach this screen from any other screen: 1. Touch Stations. The Station Summary screen appears: The status of each station is color-coded, as summarized in the upper right of the screen. You can see an explanation of each status by using the online help. To do so from this screen: 1.
The following table explains the status represented by each color at the Station Summary screen. Color Gray outline Label Offline Blue Yellow Green Ready Demand Loading White Light Blue Blue, blinking Purging Dumping Blow Back Black, blinking Bypass Green, blinking Priority Red, blinking Red outline, blinking Alarm Critical Description Station is not enabled. The controller ignores any demands or alarms. Station is enabled and idle (full). Station requires material.
Reviewing Pump Status The Pump Summary screen is the counterpart of the Station Summary screen. To reach the Pump Summary screen from any other screen: 1. Touch Pumps. The Pump Summary screen appears: The status of each pump is color-coded, as summarized in the upper right of the screen. You can see a more detailed explanation of each status by using the online help. To do so from this screen: 1. Touch anywhere in the rectangle in the upper right of the screen. The Help Menu appears. 2.
The following table explains the status represented by each color at the Pump Summary screen. Color Gray outline Yellow Blue Label Offline Ready Idle Green Blue, blinking Loading Blow Back Red, blinking Red outline, blinking Alarm Critical Description Pump is not enabled. The controller ignores any alarms. Pump is off, waiting for demand from a station. Pump is on, waiting for demand from a station. If there is no demand before the end of the auto shutdown delay, the pump will turn off.
Logging On and Logging Off Your controller may be set up to require a password for any operation (other than reviewing station and pump status, silencing alarms, reviewing the alarm log, and looking at help screens). If so, a keypad appears when you touch a button for a screen that requires a password: • Enter the four-digit password (including any leading zeros). For example, if the password is 1, enter 0001. Each digit appears as an “X” as you touch it.
Enabling and Disabling Stations and Pumps When a station or pump is disabled, the controller makes no attempt to use it and ignores any alarms that occur for it. Disabling a station or pump at the controller’s screen is similar to bypassing a station with its bypass switch. Enabling a station or pump makes it available for use. (For a station to be available for the system, it must be enabled at the controller’s screen and its bypass switch must be in the “0” position.
Reviewing and Adjusting Basic Station Settings Reaching and Reading the Station Operator Screens The 7/50D Plus or 7/50D Controller has a Station Operator screen for each station, as shown below. This screen enables you to review and adjust all basic settings for the station. To reach the Station n Operator screen: 1. Go to the Station Summary screen, if needed. To reach this screen from any other screen, touch Stations on the right-hand side of the screen. 2.
Navigating among the Station Operator Screens The controls in the upper right-hand corner of the screen enable you to move among the Station Operator screens: 1. To display the screen for the next lower-numbered station (for example, to move from the screen for Station 15 to the screen for Station 14), touch ◄ Back. 2. To display the screen for the next higher-numbered station (for example, to move from the screen for Station 15 to the screen for Station 16), touch Next ►. 3.
Activating and Stopping Priority Convey for a Station Note: Before activating priority convey, make sure that all other stations using the same pump have adequate material in reserve to continue operation. No material will be conveyed to these stations during priority convey. If you want the controller to fill a specific station with material immediately, you can activate “priority convey” for that station.
Changing the Line with Material Proofing When this option is enabled, the controller issues an alarm for the station if the number for “Material set to” does not match that of the actual material. These numbers refer to material lines. To change the line when using material proofing: 1. Go to the Station Summary screen (if needed) by touching Stations on the righthand side of any other screen. 2. Disable the station (take it offline) by touching its icon briefly. The icon becomes black with a gray outline.
Reviewing and Resetting a Pump Hour Meter The controller keeps two meters for the length of time a pump has run. One, like a car’s odometer, keeps a running total and cannot be reset. The other, like a car’s trip odometer, counts the running time since the last reset. To review and reset the hour meter: 1. At any screen, touch Pumps. The Pump Summary screen appears. 2. Touch and hold the icon for the pump.
Transferring Stations to a Standby Pump If a pump fails, you can transfer all of the controller’s station assignments for that pump to a standby pump. To do this, you must disable (take offline) both the source pump and the standby pump, and the standby pump must have no stations already assigned to it. The transfer operation at the controller’s touch screen merely changes the pump assignment for every station on the failed pump.
1. Touch Source Pump. The keypad pops up. 2. Enter the number of the failed pump. Use ← to erase any mistakes. Use ↵ to enter the value. The number appears under Source Pump. 3. Touch Standby Pump. The keypad pops up. 4. Enter the number of the standby pump. Use ← to erase any mistakes. Use ↵ to enter the value.
Hold a station icon to go to its Station Operator screen, then touch Setup to go to the Station n Setup screen. Use ◄ Back. and Next ► to review all pump assignments and, where necessary, choose Assigned to Pump x to set station assignments to 0 (unassigned). Then return to the Transfer to Standby Pump screen. 1. Touch Transfer To Standby Pump. “Transfer in Progress” appears briefly on the screen, followed by “Transfer Complete,” in place of the Transfer To Standby Pump button.
3-5 Alarms Reviewing Alarms At the Station Summary or Pump Summary screen: 1. Touch Alarms. The Alarm Log screen appears, with the newest alarm listed first: To scroll up and down through the list: • Touch ▲ and ▼ at the bottom of the list.
Clearing the Alarm Log The controller saves all alarm messages, together with the date and time the alarm occurred. When you no longer need the history, or when the list becomes too long to manage, you can erase the log. To do so: 1. At the Station Summary or Pump Summary screen, touch Alarms. The Alarm Log appears. 2. Touch System on the right-hand side of the screen. The System Setup screen appears: 3. Touch Clear Alarm Log. A warning message pops up, asking for confirmation. 4. Touch Continue.
Silencing Alarms Whenever a new alarm occurs, your controller sounds the horn and turns on the strobe light at each central alarm. If the alarm is for a specific station or pump, and if the station or pump has a local alarm, the controller also turns on the local alarm light. In addition, the manufacturers’ logo on the controller’s screen changes to an Alarm Silence button. To silence the alarm: 1. Touch Alarm Silence in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.
Chapter 5: Maintenance 5-1 Preventative Maintenance No preventative maintenance is required on this unit. 5-2 Corrective Maintenance Network Scanner Module Considerations The manufacturer includes a network scanner software diskette with your controller; this diskette and instructions are located in your Customer Information Packet. Keep this diskette and the instructions in a safe place. Should the network scanner module require replacement, use the scanner software to restore the program.
Chapter 6: Configurable Settings This section describes the proper setup of the 7/50D Plus or 7/50D control system parameters. These parameters are operator changeable; however, these items should require setup only during the initial installation. Only authorized personnel should change them. Many of the variables and setup parameters have been preset at the factory and do not need to be changed.
Name Conveying Options Assigned to pump n Volume fill Special convey Alarm Options No convey # attempts B4 alarm Description Options Default Number (address) of the pump to which this station’s vacuum line is connected. No more than 20 stations can be assigned to one pump. When this option is enabled, the station’s vacuum valve closes when material covers the station’s proximity sensor or the convey time elapses, whichever comes first.
Name Partial convey Alarm Options # attempts B4 alarm Local alarm Description When this option is enabled, the controller issues a “partial convey” alarm if it has repeatedly attempted to convey material to the station, and material has moved from the station into the receiver, but the volume-fill proximity sensor has never signaled that the station is full. (The number of attempts is controlled by the next setting.) For a volume-fill station, this option should usually be enabled.
Name On time Description Number of seconds that the each air pulse lasts during filter cleaning. If blow-back is not working as desired, the service department may ask you to change this setting. Off time Number of seconds between air pulses during filter cleaning. If blow-back is not working as desired, the service department may ask you to change this setting.
