Manual ↑
Auto ↓
Manual
With this control option selected, you must enter the desired Belt Speed
Demand from the keypad. This is signal is sent directly to the belt speed control
device, and there is no attempt to control it. This mode is generally used for
maintenance purposes as it allows you to control the belt speed in a
straightforward manner.
Once you set Control for “Manual”, the Feeder Control menu (see Main Menu >
Feeder Control) is used to start and stop the feeder and set the speed.
Note: “Manual” is equivalent to setting control source to “Local”, and control
method to “Open Loop” (see below).
Auto
With this control option selected various forms of automatic control become
available, such as Feedrate control and Speed control. These functions all
involve some sort of feedback and therefore control the process variable based

The choices for this setting are:
