The X16 connector serves to control a leading device downstream
to the vibratory drive, e.g. a conveyor feeder. Here, the information
“Vibratory drive started” or “Vibratory drive stopped” is passed on.
An external potential (PLC) can be passed on here via a normally
open relay.
For example, an additional Vib-Control 04 which drives a bowl
feeder can be controlled via the normally open relay.
The interface provides an own 24V potential
Pin 1 = 24V, Pin 4 = 0V DC so that a relay or optocoupler can also
be connected at this point.
The “normally open” function of the relay is used here to inform the
PLC with its own potential that the vibratory drive has started.
