NOTE:
The controller 362625 B is based on the feeder controller SZG CONTROLLER 6 and
is only to be used in connection with a sword feeder from DEPRAG SCHULZ GMBH u
CO. Please pay attention to the further instructions for use in the technical
documentation of the associated feeder.

1 Introduction
The electronic sequence controller carries out all necessary controller tasks for the operation of the
feeder series 8. It is designed for optimal setting of the program sequence via the simple integrated
menu for any application.
To optimise the feed part cycle essentially the following points are decisive:
•Part time relative to part
•Length of the feed part
•Length of the feed hose
•Work tempo of the user
Different time settings can be fixed for up to 10 users. Switch between operators via the menu or
using RFID.
The controller has wide voltage input of 100-260V / 50/60Hz. Manual conversion between 230V
and 115V is not necessary.
The power pack is sustained short circuit proof.
The controller is switched on or off via the flip switch on the front of the machine. An LED displays
the power status.
Image 1: Sword feeder series 8 – example of use
The controller for the feeder series 6 is available for the following versions:
•1811: Hand feeder
•0811-EP: Stationary machine
•0811-2-EP: Stationary machine with double/triple/quadruple distributor

The complete cycle of the feeder is made up of the following phases:
•Minimum driver run time tv
•New cycle delay tn
•Air-push delay tz
•Part air-push delay ts
•Separator forward time te
Start

Supporting
Air-push tn
Separator te
Air-push tzts
The MINIMUM DRIVER RUN TIME is the minimum time the screwdriver must run before the
controller activates the inlet cycle.
The NEW CYCLE DELAY is the length of time between the moment the screwdriver switches off
and the beginning of the separation and feeding process of the next feed part.
The AIR-PUSH DELAY is the length of time from the activation of the valve moving the separator
back (separator drives into basic position) until the activation of the valve for the air-push.
The PART AIR-PUSH DELAY is the length of time the valve is open for the air-push.
The SEPARATOR FORWARD TIME is the length of time when the separator stays in inlet
position.
The cycle for the conveyor segment consists of following phases:
•Time Segment DOWN tSU
•Time Segment UP tSO
Fill level feed rail
Segment DOWN tSU
Segment UP tSO

4 Functions and settings
4.1 Reload
If there is no feed part in the nosepiece then a feed part can be manually reloaded.
If the buttons is pressed on feeders type 1811 the reload procedure is started via the
separator.
4.2 Test functions
The correct function of the inputs and outputs of the controller as well as the bowl controller can be
checked in the menu TEST FUNCTIONS.
4.2.1 Inputs/Outputs
In the submenu INPUTS the inputs from 1 to 6 are listed (see headline INPUTS). If an input is set
to 1 then on the display 1 is shown for the input.
In the submenu OUTPUTS the outputs from 1 to 8 are listed (see headline OUTPUTS). If an output
is selected via the arrow buttons ( and ) and then the value 1 is set using the button
then the corresponding output is activated. If for example the output 1 is set then the air-push is
activated. Press the button again to set the output back to 0.
4.3 Restore factory settings
In the menu section SUPPL. CONDITION the factory settings from DEPRAG can be restored.
The following settings are then replaced with the factory set values:
•All user-dependant times
•Password
•Display screen
NOTE:
There is no password protection in the factory set status. If you have set up a password and
restore factory settings you will have to reset your password.

4.4 RFID
Image 3: Reader with connection cable and three RFID tags
In menu section RFID the RFID tags (coded chips) can be programmed for all users. The user is
shown at the end of the line in brackets. Use buttons and to choose the required user
number. The corresponding RFID tag is then registered to the reader. The tag ID is displayed on
screen. Press the button to save the ID to the chosen user name.
After registering the IDs the user can be changed simply by holding the RFID tag briefly up to the
reader.
Thereby the times for up to 10 users can be saved and the feeder can be set to adapt to each
different user.
4.5 Inlet control / hose screw sensor (optional)
Image 4: Various versions of sensors: Inlet control, prox. switch and hose screw sensor
Hand feeders can be equipped with additional controls for scanning feed parts. For example inlet
control (in the separator) and hose screw control (on hose just above mouthpiece).

FEEDING TECHNOLOGY
11
If an inlet control is used then this monitors whether a feed part is in the separator. If there is no
feed part present at the start of a cycle or 60 seconds after the last separator procedure then a
warning signal is set off.
If a hose screw sensor is used then this monitors whether a feed part arrives at the screwdriver. If
no feed part arrives then the machine makes two attempts to reload before setting off a warning
signal.
4.6 Fill level sensor (optional)
Image 5: fill level sensors underneath the bin – example of use
A fill level sensor is used to monitor the amount of feed parts in the bin. If the current fill level is not
sufficient to guarantee continuous feeding then the operator must refill the bin tso that there is a
continuous supply of feed parts to be processed.
4.7 User
The data for up to 10 different users can be registered. You can switch between users in the menu.
Press the buttons and to select the required user number in the menu section USER. The
current user number is marked by an asterisk(*).
You can also switch between users using the optional RFID interface.
In the standard display screen the number of the current user is displayed in the upper right-hand
corner.
4.8 Times
4.8.1 Min. driver time
The minimum driver time is the minimum time the screwdriver must run before the controller
activates the inlet cycle.
Minimum time: 0 sec.
Maximum time: 5,0 sec.
Steps: 0,1 sec.

FEEDING TECHNOLOGY

4.8.2 New cycle delay
The new cycle delay is the length of time between the moment the screwdriver switches off and the
beginning of the separation and feeding process of the next feed part.
Minimum time: 0 sec.
Maximum time: 2,0 sec.
Steps: 0,1 sec.
4.8.3 Sep. forward
The separator forward time is the length of time the separator stays in inlet position.
Minimum time: 0,1 sec.
Maximum time: 10,0 sec.
Steps: 0,1 sec.
4.8.4 Air-push delay
The air-push delay is the length of time from the activation of the valve moving the separator
backwards to basic position until the activation of the valve for the air push.
Minimum time: 0 sec.
Maximum time: 5,0 sec.
Steps: 0,1 sec.
4.8.5 Part air-push
The part air-push is the length of time the valve is open for the air push. The part air push allows
adjustment of the reload procedure to correspond with the length of the feed hose. The part air-
push must be increased when using long feed hoses or when the air-push is on a low setting.
When using a shorter hose or strong air push then the part air-push time can be decreased.
Minimum time : 0,1 sec.
Maximum time: 5,0 sec.
Steps: 0,1 sec.
4.8.6 Time for SEGMENT DOWN
This is the duration of the activation of the valve for the segment-DOWN to activation of the valve
for segment-UP.
Minimum time : 0,1 sec.
Maximum time: 5,0 sec.
Steps: 0,1 sec.
4.8.7 Time for SEGMENT UP
This is the duration of the activation of the valve for the segment-UP to activation of the valve for
segment-DOWN.
Minimum time: 0,1 sec.
Maximum time: 5,0 sec.
Steps: 0,1 sec.
