3.5. Starting preparations
Bowl feeders and linear feeders, due to their mechanical design, can only be protected against damage by operating
them in a proper way.
This is why the electrical operating conditions must be adapted to the vibrating system. The following table shows the
variable safe operating ranges for the complete RNA product range.
Attention:
Uniform weight distribution on the bowl (balancing) is a prerequisite for a consistent and stable feed rate.
A well balanced spring package is described in detail in the operating instructions for the vibratory feeder.

Attention:
Make sure that the maximum values of load current and magnet gap are observed because otherwise
there is a risk of damage to feeder or controller!
3.5.1. Commissioning
Notice:
For smooth commissioning RNA offers an adapter of type ESZ 01 which can be plug-connected between
controller and feeder without any installation work. The adapter comprises measuring devices for load
current and coil voltage as well as a disconnect switch.
When a bowl feeder is delivered complete with ESR 2000 controller the operating parameters are already set to suit
the bowl feeder and stored in the 143 USER –0 parameter.
All settings can be retrieved from the RNA archive.
Attention:
Improper start-up of a feeder after conversion, controller replacement or mechanical modification creates
the risk of damage to springs, vibratory units, orienting devices or carryover devices.
3.5.2. Controller set-up to suit a vibratory feeder
Procedure:
1. Read frequency range and max. load current from rating plate of the vibratory feeder. (See tables 1 and 2.)
2. Connect controller to power supply and switch it on without vibratory feeder.

If you are not sure whether the controller is in the factory default setting, select menu C210 "Retrieve parameters" as
described under 4.5.10 to call up the default setting.
Attention:
In case of bumping of the bowl feeder during commissioning (very loud metallic noise):
Stop the controller immediately!
Commissioning without observing the above measures creates the risk of destroying the feeder or parts
thereof. This would void any warranty!
After successful commissioning you can activate the sensor amplifier and set the delay periods and soft start/stop
times, if required.
3.6. Sensor inputs and sensor linkages
The controller has two sensor inputs which are used for accumulation checking, level checking, cycle monitoring and
other monitoring functions. The following basic assignments are made:
Sensor input 1 acts on channel 1, unless otherwise programmed in menu C006. Sensor input 2 is provided for
additional functions, see sensor linkage. The sensor inputs can be evaluated only if they are activated in codes C004
and C005. The connection diagram is shown in the sensor plug connector (XS3).

3.8. Status outputs and relays
The status outputs are used for remote diagnostics of the controller status or of the links of several controllers with one
another. They are designed as freely available NPN-doped transistor circuits and they are floating.
With the status output READY the transistor circuit is switched through whenever the controller is connected to power
supply and switched on by its power switch closed.
The status output ACTIVE requires the same conditions for switching-through as "READY". In addition, channel 1
must be operating actively, the transistor blocks in case of ACCUMULATION, OFF or STOP. The status outputs as
well as the external enabling input are to be wired via plug connector XS4.
The two relays have different functions. K1 operates as a status relay parallel to the ACTIVE status output. K2 serves
either for a blowing air switch-off delay (4 sec.) or for cycle monitoring of one of the two sensor channels.
Connections and cable entry are on the right-hand side of the controller with the terminal block behind the panel.

Brief description of individual links
AND logic of the two sensor inputs with blowing-off the exit tracks.
Example:
Application:
Twin-track feeders with accumulation checker.
Solution:
Track 1 (sensor 1) full = Blow-off track 1 (relay K1)
Track 2 still clear
Track 2 (sensor 2) full = Blow-off track 2 (relay K2)
Track 1 still clear
Track 1 + Track 2 full = Bowl feeder (channel 1) Stop about 4 sec. later blowing air
stop
AND logic of the two sensor inputs without blowing-off the exit track.
Bowl feeder (channel 1) stops when both sensors are operated. Orienting air can be switched off with
delay (4 sec.) via relay K2.
OR logic of the two sensor inputs.
Bowl feeder (channel 1) stops when one of the two sensors is operated. Orienting air can be switched
off with delay (4 sec.) via relay K2.
Min/Max logic of the two sensor inputs.
The bowl feeder stops when both sensors are operated. The bowl feeder (channel 1) will re-start only
after both sensors are cleared again.
Relay K1 operates on stopping of bowl feeder. Relay K2 operates 4 sec. later (stopping the blowing air)
AND / S2 logic
Bowl feeder (channel 1) stops when both sensors are operated. It starts when sensor 2 is cleared
again. Orienting air can be switched off with delay (4 sec.) via relay K2.
Level check for hopper control
Sensor 2 operates relay K1 following the delay period entered (C005).
When sensor 1 is operated, relay K1 drops out. (Hopper interlock)
Application:
Sensor 1 = accumulation check;
Sensor 2 = level check;
Relay K1 = hopper control
Level check with indicator light
Sensor 2 operates relay K1 following the delay period entered (C005).

Rhein-Nadel Automation GmbH 16
VT-BA-ESR2000_EN-2019 / 05.08.2019 SJ
Application:
Sensor 2 is used as a level checker (e.g., LC-N 24V DC).
Relay K1 operates an indicator light: Bowl feeder or linear feeder empty.

The cycle watchdog monitors the CLEAR sensor status. The time (A 180) sets the maximum duration
for which a sensor is allowed to be clear before an alarm message is generated.
In case of an alarm the relay K2 is clocked on and off. Reset takes place automatically when the
sensor is operated again.
If OUT = 1 the alarm operates relay K2 (indicator light: Error) and the bowl feeder or linear feeder is
stopped. An ERROR message appears on the operator panel display.
Use the bottom right cursor button for reset.
If OUT = 0 the alarm only operates relay K2 (indicator light: Error). Reset takes place automatically
when sensor 1 is operated.
If A.I. = 1 relay K1 is clocked on and off in response to the alarm (switching from relay K2 to relay K1).
