4.5 – SET OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS (A & P)

For the feedback loop to operate correctly it must be set up for the vibratory feeder that it is

used with because every feeder has different response characteristics. Therefore, it is

important to adjust the output signal so that amplitude (A) setting of 100% corresponds to the

required maximum amplitude of the feeder. To do this, use the following steps:

1. In menu C038 set the (P) value to 10%, and the (A) value to 100%

2. Enable the controller so that the feeder is vibrating

3. Gradually increase the value of (P) until the required maximum amplitude of the feeder

is reached

NOTE: A “V” sticker on the side of the feeder tray can be used to give a visual guide if

another measuring system is not available.

4.6 – SAVE USER SETTINGS & HIDE MENUS

After setting up the controller, verify that is work to the customer’s satisfaction and that all

system controllers are working properly perform the following items:

1. Save User Settings (C143) – Go to C143 and push the up arrow to save all settings

under the user settings memory

2. Hide Function Menu (C117) – Go to C117 and set HdC=1 to hide the C038 function

3. Hide Service Menu (C127) – Go to C127 and set EnS=0 to hide the C040 service menu

NOTE: With the above menus hidden, all the operator can do is adjust the amplitude (A) from

the root menu. If the customer more operator adjustment, the above menus can be left

unhidden. When they are hidden though there will be less chance of an untrained operator

causing a problem with the controller.
