ELECTRICAL NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
A major consideration in the installation of a successful system is the problem created by electrical noise.
The following paragraphs provide information to help the user avoid electrical noise problems. Though
many potential problems are presented, few, if any, will be encountered in an actual application using a
suitably installed PLC system, even in a relatively harsh industrial noise environment.
BACKGROUND NOISE
Electrical noise is defined as any unwanted electrical signal which enters the control equipment. Noise
signals cover the entire spectrum of frequencies and may have any wave shape. The largest single
difficulty with noise is that it is not always present. Continuous, or frequent, periodic noises are generally
easy to detect and accommodate. Intermittent noise sources that produce short, high energy bursts at
irregular and widely spaced intervals cause the majority of problems. Noise has a number of different
pathways into the control equipment. It can be conducted through signal or power wiring or it can be
radiated by electromagnetic waves. Conducted noise is typically coupled into the signal or power wiring
either electro-statically or magnetically. Electrostatic coupling occurs through parasitic capacitance
between the noisy line and the signal/power line. This typically would be the case for long wire runs in
the same conduit. Magnetic coupling occurs through parasitic mutual inductances between lines. This
requires high currents or high currents or high rate of change of current as well as significant mutual
inductance, which may result from proximity or wiring. Electromagnetically radiated noise is typically
high frequency (radio waves). The control system and its wiring may act as antennas in picking up noise
signals. This pathway is least likely to present problem levels of noise to a PLC, and its sources are rare
industrial applications. The dominate sources of noise in industry are those devises (and their wiring)
that produce and switch high voltages and currents. Typical examples include large motors, welders, and
contactors that switch heavily inductive loads such as brakes or clutches. Other examples of noise
sources are Triac/SCR motor control and power invertors.
EFFECTS OF ELECTRICAL NOISE
The predominant effect of noise on the system is to cause “soft” failures; that is, failures which do not
damage the system but do cause it to function improperly.
Three main types of soft failures are encountered:
Logic memory alteration.
Register alteration.
Momentary I/O failure.
Logic memory alteration presents the most significant potential problem in that it may, in some cases,
result in improper machine operation. Both register and momentary I/O failures normally result only in
nuisance failures such as operation in the wrong mode, machine glitches or incorrect/non-existent error
messages.

GROUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS
A good grounding system is a major consideration in planning any electrical system. However, it is
essential for proper operation of the electronics that a low-impedance path to earth ground exist. All
filtering devices internal to the PLC require a good earth ground return. The structural ground present in
many industrial environments does not provide an adequate ground return. A supplementary grounding
electrode should be used to reduce the impedance of the earth ground return when direct-wire
connection to the power system is not feasible. As a minimum, a No. 12 AWG stranded copper wire
should be used to connect to the copper grounding electrode. The connection should exhibit very low DC
resistance (0.05 OHM) and low high-frequency impedance (such as copper lugs). Minimum wire sizes,
color coding, and general safety practices should comply with American National Standards and the
National Electrical Code.
Other earth ground sources are not as desirable as a copper ground stake. Green wire earth grounds
(safety grounds) brought into the control system from plants distribution networks tend to be very noisy.
In most plants, the green wire earth ground system is characterized by ground loops, multiple
terminations to different references, and long wire runs adjacent to motor power and other high-power
wiring. Conduit as an earth ground has even more problems. Though many installations use these
ground references successfully, the practice should be avoided.
AC POWER CONSIDERATIONS
Electrical devices should not be operated at the low end of their input power voltage rating for extended
periods of time. When input voltage is low, current input is forced higher to provide the devise with the
power of needs. Additional current means additional heating. When a system is to be installed where
long brownouts are known to occur, the user is advised to supply the PLC with power from a voltage
regulating transformer. Use of this type of transformer will provide normal voltage to the devices and
keep current within normal range.

RECEIPT
OF EQUIPMENT

230 Series Auger Packer
13 OF 115
The Model 230 Auger Packer consists of the packer
assembly and various items as ordered.
RECEIPT AND INSPECTION
Upon receipt, a check should be made to see that all
items ordered have arrived and are in good condition.
Any damage incurred in shipment should be reported to
the delivering carrier immediately and a claim for the
damage should be filled. If anything is missing or
damaged, contact Choice Bagging Equipment, Ltd. (512-
352-3694) so that replacement or repair can be initiated.
The Model 230 Auger Packer is shipped with locking
bolts installed to secure and protect the bag post and
weighing assembly during shipment. (See Picture)
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES
Mark the centerlines of the packer, reference the General Arrangement drawing.
Set the packer into place. It may be desirable to defer final anchoring to the floor until after testing. Place
the packer in the proper location, insuring the frame is level. Check the clearance and fit to the feed
hopper and associated piping prior to securing it firmly to the floor.
It is recommended to install a rubber connection sleeve between bin and
hopper to isolate bin vibrations from packers. (Sleeve not provided with
machine. Recommend 0.25” - 0.375” wall thickness. Sleeve can be
purchased from CBE separately).
The weighing assembly is secured by two shipping bolts that protect the
scale from any damage during shipment. Be sure to remove the shipping
bolts located above the bag chair post before attempting to operate the
machine.
The Model 230 Auger packer uses a load cell scale weighing unit. It is
important to make certain that the load cell and components being
suspended are free from side friction.
Check the alignment of the fill tube to the auger. If adjustments need to
be made to the auger, this is discussed later in Chapter , how to adjust

230 Series Auger Packer

the auger.
SOLENOIDS / PNEUMATICS
All pneumatic components (air valves & cylinders) are self-lubricating and additional lubricated air is not
required. If lubricated air is used then lubricated air must be used for the life of all the cylinders.
It is recommended that the main high pressure airline supplying the packer be a min size of ½”. Connect
this high-pressure airline to the regulator found on the back side of thee packer. If there are multiple
units, it is recommended to have separate lines feeding each packer. Operating pressure should be 80PSI
It is recommended that an additional water trap (not supplied with machine) be installed up stream of
the packer in the high-pressure airline and the packer. This is to ensure clean dry air is coming to the
machine at all times. We have recommended that the water trap have a self-draining tap.
Any optional equipment ordered when the packer is in the field will be shipped with controls, hose and
fittings. These will need to be installed in the field according to the pneumatic schematic provided. If the
machine was ordered from the factory with option equipment, this will already be done. There is room
for only one addition optional feature to be added in the field at a later date.
Connect all air hoses which were disconnected for shipment. All hoses and related fittings are
correspondingly color coded and size related for ease of re-assembly. All hoses on the packer are: white
for start and black for stop.
Install any attachments which have been shipped loose or separate from the packer. The connection
between the packer inlet the mating supply hopper should be made using a soft flexible connection to
minimize the transmission of vibration.
NOTE: Auger Packers are relatively trouble free as far as basis operation stands. Problems may occur
with the controller or electrical system. If problems occur do not hesitate to call us for information at
[phone].
SUPPLY BIN CONNECTIONS
It is recommended that you connect the packer to the supply hopper or surge bin with a rubber
connector. This will minimize or eliminate any vibrations coming from the bin that may influence the
weight.
These collars and bands are available from Choice Bagging Equipment; however they are not supplied
with the equipment. If you would like to order, you may reach our parts department at 512-352-3694.

CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION

230 Series Auger Packer
16 OF 115
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
Your system was assembled and tested in our factory. At disassembly, decals with match markings were
applied on matching parts to facilitate installation. Study the General Arrangement and other sub-
assembly drawings to determine the location of items. The center point of the packer inlet must be
located and marked on the floor; accomplish this by suspending a plumb bob from the center of the
mating supply hopper overhead. Verify that this center point on the floor is the proper distance from the
centerline of any associated equipment. Once this match has been verified, the packer can be put into
place and leveled.
NOTE: Do not anchor any equipment to the floor at this time. Equipment should be anchored to the floor
only after a satisfactory alignment and start-up has been achieved. Care must be taken in leveling the
packer at this point. After the packer has been placed in the desired operating location, level the packer
by plumbing the front legs. Any deviation from the plumb between the two legs should be compromised
half-way. This will result in plumb center lines. This step is important for the scale to function properly.
PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS
Control air for the system should be supplied from a high pressure air source and should be clean and
dry. A minimum of 80 PSIG pressure at approximately 3-5 SCFM is required for proper operation of the
system. Air line connections must be ½” or larger. All air line connections should be made using a flexible
hose to minimize the transmission of vibration. Connect the pneumatic lines using the pneumatic
schematic and the color coded end connections.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Control power for the system should be supplied from a clean power source and voltage verified to
ensure proper operation of the system.
NOTE: All wiring is to be accomplished in accordance with national electric code requirements. All
electrical connections should be made using a flexible type conduit to minimize the transmission of
vibration.
CAUTION: When drilling holes for conduit, make sure that absolutely no drill chips enter the panel, as
they may create a short circuit in the control circuits. Check all terminal block connections. Tighten those
which may have come loose during shipment. Connect all sensor and motor wires per the electrical
schematic and the color coded end connections. Terminations from the main electrical control panel to
junction boxes may be required per the electrical schematic. Connect the weighing system’s load cell
cable per the electrical schematic.
NOTE: To avoid the effects of electrical noise on the weighing system, avoid routing load cell cables near
any high voltage source.

230 Series Auger Packer
17 OF 115
FINALIZATION OF INSTALLATION
Check all wiring connections with either an ohm meter or a buzz to verify continuity of all wires.
Check all led proxy switch lights (power).
Wiring and wire runs should be installed as not to interfere with equipment operation and in accordance
with appropriate electrical code.
Make a rotational check of all motors. If phases are reversed, this can be corrected by changing two
power wires in the motor junction box.
All gear reducers are sealed. They are factory sealed to ensure proper operating temperature and
prolonged life.
Check air pressure at all regulators and set per the pneumatic schematic.
(OPTIONAL) Fill all the air lubricator reservoirs if equipped. All cylinders and solenoids don’t require
lubrication).

CHAPTER 3
OPERATION

230 Series Auger Packer
19 OF 115
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
An auger feed assembly is the main feature of the Model 230 Auger Packer. The auger housing receives
bulk product from a surge bin and supplies a steady stream into the bag utilizing a flighted auger screw.
High-pressure air (80 PSIG), operates the solenoids and cylinders.
Bags are weighed during the filling operation on a unit consisting of bag support frame and filling tube
mounted on the front of a scale beam. Filled bags are discharged automatically when the machine is
equipped with an automatic discharge bag chair arrangement.
All of the operation activity for each bag filling cycle takes place in a matter of seconds. This packing
speed is important, not only to achieve high production rates and bag accuracy, but also for proper
function of the Model 200 Auger Packer
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
A representative arrangement of the packer is shown below. It serves to amplify the following
description of a typical; TWO PHASE operational sequence for filling a bag. It should be noted, however,
that a variety of constructions are optional for the Model 200. The sequences as drawn shows the
optional timed powered discharge and timed bag sealer.
PHASE ONE
(Bulk and Dribble)
Phase One is the condition the machine is in at the end of a filling cycle or if the Stop (or scale)
pushbutton is pressed. This is what occurs:
Controller reaches final preset target weight.
The motor drive assembly and agitator stop and the auger reverses.
The material from the product surge bin stops flowing into the packer.
The bag clamp releases the bag.
The bag is discharged from the machine (hand or automatic). Since the material is moved by gravity
flow, the supply of material to the machine is continuous.
Various optional features shown on the schematic operate as follows:
The valve sealer deflates at end of filling cycle - this can be timed to ensure material stabilization in the
bag.

230 Series Auger Packer
20 OF 115
Feed gate closes off the material flow inlet hopper when the goes into the dribble mode (used with
products that flow easy and may flood)
The settler stops if running in continuous mode. (No bulk and dribble)
The powered discharge bag chair tilts to discharge the filled bag at the end of the sealer deflation and
returns.
The speed of these features is controlled with special electrical and pneumatic controls. During Phase
One, the operator also places another empty bag on the filling tube after discharge of the previous bag.
PHASE TWO
Phase Two is the condition the machine is in at the beginning of a filling cycle or if the (Start or Auto
Start) pushbutton is pressed. This is what occurs:
The start PB is pressed.
The bag clamps the empty bag to the fill spout
The bag seal inflates inside the valve of the bag (Optional)
The motor drive (auger) and the agitator start to turn.
A delay and then the settler turns on (Optional)
Material starts to flow into the bag and is weighed simultaneously as it is being filled
Weight reaches first set point.
Settler turns off.
Auger and agitator continue to run but go from fast to slow fill.
Weight reaches second set point (final cutoff).
Phase one note:
If machine is equipped with a bulk only feature the auger will never go into a slow speed. It
will continue at the fast speed all the way thru the entire filling cycle.
