1 – SUMMARY
The CD30 with software version “L” or higher is compatible with both Wright LT
conveyors and PPM VF & Magnatron conveyors. The main changes from the DMT include:
•The CD30/35 runs about half as quiet (10dbA less) as the DMT
•All settings are made by using the touch-panel and display (similar to a VFD touch-
panel) that is incorporated into the front panel of the CD30
•The CD30/35 does not come standard with a door potentiometer
•The CD30/35 does come with a local disconnect switch mounted onto the door
•The CD30/35 works as a replacement for both the DMT & MagII controllers, and will be
phased in PPM’s new standard controller for all applications for the above legacy
controllers.
1.1 – CONTROLLER SPECIFICATIONS
•Supply voltage: 115/230 v, +/-15%, 50/60 Hz
•Supply Power Draw: 3 to 4A
•Set Point: display, potentiometer 10kOhm, 0-10vdc, 0(4)-20mA
•Enable Input: contact, 24vdc
•Enable 2
nd
Setpoint: contact, 24vdc
•Status relay: change over contacts (max 250v, 2A)
•Fuse: 10A, Type B
•Operating Temperature: 0°C to 45°C
1.2 – APPLICATIONS
The CD30/35 has been tested & validated to work on the following equipment:
•VF Advance & Mini at 1200cpm (20hz) to 1450cpm (24.2hz)
•VF Premier & VFX at 750cpm (12.5hz) to 1200cpm (20hz)
•Magnatron at 1500cpm (25hz) to 2100cpm (35hz)
NOTE: CD30/35 will virtually work at any speed from 5hz to 60hz on all equipment, with or
without a feedback sensor. The above equipment speed ranges are just guidelines for our
typical equipment.
There are two sizes of CD30/35 Controller, a 10A & a 15A controller. The controller required is
base on the rules below regarding the application & product density:
•Use the CD30 (10A controller) if:
oProduct density is 20lb/ft^3 or less
•Use the CD35 (15A controller) if:
oProduct density is greater than 20lb/ft^3, or
oThe conveyor is being fed by a hopper

2.2 – FEEDBACK SENSOR
The CD30 is setup to operate with the standard DMT & Mag II sensor (Gordon p/n 06A578) as
well as PPM’s own accelerometer. It gets wired into the terminal strip on the CD30/35, so the
existing DMT connector on the end of the sensor wire must be cut off if replacing an existing
DMT or Mag II with a CD30/35.
Wiring connections for DMT/Mag II sensor:
•Black (ground) – terminal 1
•Red (+24v) – terminal 3
•White/grey (sensor) – terminal 12
•Black (large wire) (shield) – terminal 16
2.3 – SYSTEM CONTROL WIRING
2.3.1 – ENABLE UNIT
The Unit is enabled by closing contacts or by applying a 24v signal
•Input terminals for contacts: 5 & 6
•Input terminals for 24vdc: 4(-) & 5(+24v)
2.3.2 – EXTERNAL SET POINT (C038~E.S.P.)
NOTE: to enable external set point, set ESP = 1 (on menu C038)
•Potentiometer (10kOhm) input terminals: 7(-), 8(E), 10(+10v)
•0 to +10vdc input terminals: 7(-), 8(+0 to 10v)
•0(4) to 20mA input terminals: 7(-), 9(+0 to 20mA)
IMPORTANT – A minimum level for the output voltage can be selected when an external set
point is used (to adapt the set point to give a true minimum vibration of the feeder), this is
achieved by setting the internal set point “A” on the display. This must be done before
switching on the external set point source, through the controller. (Should there be no
requirement for a zero correction then “A” must be set to “0” before the external set point
function is selected).
2.3.3 – STATUS RELAY (C040~r.b.)
Internal relay contact on terminals 14 & 15
Wire into either a 100AC or 24DC relay
•When r.b.=0 (relay closes if output power is present)
•When r.b.=1 (relay closes if incoming (main plant power) power to the controller is
present & there are no error messages displayed)

4 – STEP BY STEP SETUP PROCEDURE
When initially setting up a CD30, use the following steps.
NOTE: During initial setup if the controller’s on/off signal isn’t wired yet or is but isn’t being
sent, you must set –En = 1 (under menu C040) or place a jumper between contacts 5 & 6.
This will allow you to operate and run the controller without a run signal coming from a main
panel.
4.1 – WIRE CD30/35
Wire all connections to CD30/35, including:
•Incoming plant power
•Outgoing power to the conveyor coil
•The feedback sensor
•Along with any additional control wiring required for the application

4.3 – SET SENSOR POSITION
If using the older Gordon sensor (black in color), use menu C051 and adjust the sensor gap
until the reading C051=25
If using the newer PPM Accelerometer, no adjustment is needed and C051 can be ignored.
4.4 – RUN AUTOMATIC FREQUENCY SEARCH (AFS)
Before normal operation, the controller must perform an AFS to accurately find the resonant
frequency of the conveyor spring system. To do this, follow the following steps:
1. Turn the controller on so the conveyor is receiving a power signal
2. Adjust the stroke & power settings to:
a. Menu C038, A=0 (sets amplitude to 0)
b. Menu C038, P=10 (sets power to 10)
3. Double check the controller is setup to run in the natural frequency control mode by:
a. Menu C038, ACC=1 (closed-loop mode)
b. Menu C038, AFC=1 (automatic frequency control)
4. Menu C038, AFS, press up arrow (start frequency search)
The readout will show the frequency as the controller searches, when all three lines to the left
of the frequency stop blinking the controller has found the resonant frequency and will revert to
the normal run root menu.
NOTE: If the controller has a difficult time finding the resonant frequency, the following items
may help:
•Try increasing the set point (A) a small amount (by 5 or 10)
•If you know about what the resonant frequency is, try narrowing the frequency range
AFS can search (menu C040, parameters L & H)
•Reduce power limit (P)
Spacing between sensor and target 7/16” to 5/8"

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
menu
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.
