1. General
The ESR 3000 –ESM 3000 range comprises special, adaptable controllers for use with vibratory feeders. The units
generate an output frequency, to drive feeders, that is independent of mains frequency and so exact tuning with
springs is not necessary. The feeders also run quieter because of the sinusoidal output signal. The adjusted output
frequency corresponds to the mechanical vibrating frequency of the feed system. The optimum frequency setting for a
feeder can determined manually or automatically in regulation mode.
Depending on the version, the controller can be used in regulation mode, working in conjunction with an accelerometer
fitted to the feeder, to operate at resonant frequency. In this way a constant component feed rate that is unaffected by
load changes can be achieved. In regulation mode the vibrating frequency is also dynamically adjusted to compensate
for resonant frequency changes caused by load changes. In normal operating mode (without accelerometer) the
feeder remains constant at the set frequency. In both operating modes the feeder throughput is determined by the
output voltage level.
Totally enclosed or panel mounting units can be supplied.
Notable Features:
•Adjustable output frequency, independent of mains
frequency
•Adjustable minimum and maximum limits for the frequency
range
•Adjustable current limit for the maximum coil current
•Constant feeder throughput irrespective of mains
fluctuations
•Regulation control, with independent frequency search
(resonance)
•On/Off status relay
•Track control
•24 VDC output for operating a solenoid e.g air valve
•Four user setting memory locations
•Optional RS232 or Profibus-DP interface for remote
parameter setting.

2. Function
The unit is set up by using the touch panel on the front plate (buttons and LED display). All settings can be made by
using the touch panel and a series of menus. The various parameters can be selected by entering operator codes. A
fuller description of the parameters can be found In the section on settings. Alternatively, the feeder throughput can
adjusted by using an external potentiometer, an external voltage signal 0...10 V, DC or a current signal 0(4)...20 mA (the
chosen option must be selected in menu 003). A relay with potential free contacts is provided for feeder status indication
and this operates in conjunction with the feeder enable signal. Terminals for these contacts can be found inside the
controller.
During normal operation the set point is displayed as a percentage in the LED window. In the programming mode the
selected dimension, as described in the setting up instructions, is shown. Changed settings can be stored by leaving
the programming mode or automatically saved by not pressing a key for a period of 100 seconds.
The control units can provide a frequency range from 5…300 Hz, which can be limited by adjustable, upper and lower
frequency limits. The usable adjustment range cannot exceed a ratio of 1:4, i.e. the upper frequency limit cannot be
more than four times the lower frequency limit. It is possible to have a narrower setting of the limits and this provides a
margin of safety against too wide a difference in the vibrating frequency.
The maximum output current drawn by the coil can be determined by integrated current limiting.
Critical parameters such as the current limit and vibrating frequency range are held under a special service menu. This
menu cannot be accessed through the normal menu structure and an additional code number has to be used to gain
access. This prevents unauthorised adjustment of these sensitive parameters.
An interface option can be used to provide an RS232 or Fieldbus (Profibus-DP) connection.
2.1. Track control
The output can be switched
ON and OFF from a track
component sensor, using
internal, adjustable time
delays (ton and toff).
The queue of components
rises above and drops
below the track sensor
position. The controller
output switches on when
the sensor cannot detect product and a switch-on time delay has elapsed. The output is switched off when product is
detected and a switch-off time delay has elapsed (FULL displayed in the LED window). Gaps in the product feed cause
resetting of the time delay. The time will always be precise from the last or first component, respectively. The ON and
OFF time delays are set in the programming menu. The first decimal point in the display blinks to indicate that an internal
timer is running.
An additional “Sensor-Time-out timer is started when the feeder switches on. This can be set (30...240 sec.) to switch
off the feeder if no product is sensed in the time out period. The status relay indicates that the feeder is not running and
the LED window displays ERROR and SE alternately. This function is optional and must be selected in the Track Settings
Menu with function EE = 1.
2.2. Operating with two speeds (2 set points for coarse/fine switching)
Coarse/Fine control can be used instead of track control (Menu C 003). The second set point is activated through the
same sensor input that is used for track control. Either contacts or a 24 VDC signal can be used to change the set point
from coarse to fine. The second set point is activated, immediately, by applying a 24 V signal
(The track control function is invalid)
2.3. Control inputs and output
2.3.1. Enable input
External switch or 24 VDC signal voltage.
External control function to switch the power output ON or OFF e.g. Networking of several controllers from a central
PLC.
2.3.2. Sensor input for track control
Sensor for monitoring the queue of components on the track or an input for switching to the second set point 24 VDC
(PNP).

2.3.3. External set point
The feeder amplitude set point can be provided from and external, analog 0...10 V, DC, 0(4)...20 mA, or a 10 kR
Potentiometer. Parameter ESP in Menu C003 must be set to 1, for an external set point source to be used (not on 16A
units).
Setting the minimum output value when external set point = 0:-
Before changing the ESP parameter to accept an external set point source, the minimum value can be adjusted by using
the cursor keys, on the front panel, and this will remain when the ESP is changed over from 0 to 1.
2.3.4. Output status relay
Status-Relay contact 250 V/1 A (changeover). Relay closes when the feeder is running –the relay opens when there is
no enable signal or a fault displayed.
2.3.5. Time-Out output 24 VDC
"Time Out" message active, if after adjusted time no material is recognized by the sensor (adjustable with parameter
"E."). (not on 16 A units)
2.3.6. Air valve output 24 VDC
Output for air blast, comes on with feeder and switches off, 4 sec., after feeder stops (not on 16A units)
2.4. Display

7. Control elements
7.1. Settings
The six buttons and a LED display found in the
front panel, are used for operating and setting up
the unit. All operating methods and adjustable
parameters can be set up through this panel.
The “I“ and “O“ buttons are used for switching the
unit ON and OFF, however, these do not provide
mains isolation, they simply inhibit the power
semiconductors
The “P“, “F“ and “Cursor Buttons“ are used for
parameter adjustment. Parameters are set by
using menu controls which are called up by
entering operator codes. The functions are
described in greater detail in the section on setting
instructions.
The display value can be increased or decreased
by units, or tenths of units, by a short press of the
cursor buttons. Holding the buttons down will
cause the display to change in units of ten.
To prevent accidental or unauthorized adjustment the adjustment parameters, in the user menus, are protected. A code
must be entered to open the user menus. There are different pass codes for each function group.
Setting adjustments are automatically saved upon leaving the programming mode or if no button is pressed for
a period of 100 seconds.
All setting routines are commenced by pressing the programming button “P“. The following diagram should clarify the
sequence in which keys are pressed:-
1. Press the “P“ key.
2. Select the code number with the cursor keys.
3. Press the “P“ key. This displays the first menu point. The required menu point can be found by repeatedly
pressing the “P“ key (scrolling).
4. The value in the menu point can be changed with the cursor keys.
5. Scroll to the next menu point or to the end of the menu, which returns the display to the set point value, by
pressing the “P“ key. To exit the menu and return back to the normal display, quickly, depress the “P“ key for 5
seconds.
6. To return back to the previous position in the menu, press the “F“ key.

8. Commissioning
8.1. Assembling position
8.2. Preliminary steps
•Check that the unit is correct for the local mains supply (rating plate information) and that it is correctly rated
for the feed system.
•Connect the controller according to the connection diagram
•When applications with frequently on and off cycles are required, use the intended enable input. It is
prohibited to open the current circuit with a switch or a contactor while the feeder is running.
8.2.1. Important points
Using the control units described in this document, it is possible to adjust the feed system that it runs in
resonance. In this condition it is possible to obtain excessive output for a very low set point setting. Therefore
extreme care should be taken to avoid causing damage to the drive coil, through hammering.
In practice it is not possible to run at resonant frequency without accelerometer feedback because the system would be
unstable and uncontrollable. The system must be set safely off resonance i.e. either above or below the natural
frequency.
Resonant frequency: Depending on the spring and mass design of the feeder system it is possible to have resonance
at more than one frequency. These additional resonance points are multiples of the main frequency. For this reason in
critical situations it is possible that the automatic frequency search will not find true resonance and in such cases the
natural frequency must be determined manually.
8.2.2. Operating frequency of the feeder coil
It is possible that the current flowing through the coil will increase for a small frequency adjustment. and so this should
be checked with a true RMS instrument for each new application as well as monitoring the coil for heat build-up.
The coil should be designed for the correct operating frequency to prevent excessive current draw and the consequential
overloading of the coil.
8.2.3. Measurement of the output voltage and current
The voltage and current cannot be measured with a regular instrument because the controller output uses an electronic
inverter with a pulse width modulation signal. An effective measuring instrument such as a moving iron meter (analog)
must be used. It is recommended that an analog instrument is used rather than an electronic multi-meter which will give
a misleading reading.
8.3. Putting the equipment into operation
1. Establish the vibrating frequency.
2. Establish the power of the feed system (maximum permissible current draw).
For a new feeder where settings are unknown: (see also comments below)
Without connecting the feeder, select parameter FAC in menu C210 (reset factory settings), press the cursor key to
reset (SAFE) and press the P key to leave the menu. The factory settings are listed in the table in section 7, headed
settings
! Comments !
It is possible that a special parameter set, for a machine manufacturer, has been pre-stored under a user code and
these can be recalled. In such instances specific machine settings will be loaded and so the next steps are not relevant.
Basic settings:
•Connect feeder.
•Set frequency (refer to feeder data sheet). Menu C096 parameter F.
•Check current limit (refer to feeder data sheet). Menu C040 parameter I (shows the current limit as a
percentage of maximum). If applicable use service menu for setting.
•Increase set point, observe feeder, check running.
Attention
Please fasten the devices on a vibration-free underground and take care for sufficient air circulation.

Rhein-Nadel Automation GmbH 12
VT-BA-ESR-ESM3000-EN_2020 / 07.05.2020 SJ
•Increase set point to maximum and check if power needs limiting (hammering). If necessary adjust the limit
as follows:-
•Adjust set point to zero
•Set parameter P (maximum limit) in Menu C096 to 50
•Adjust set point A to 100%.
•Increase the maximum limit P from 50% until the required amplitude is reached.
•The full set point range of 0…100% can now be used.
Additional settings e.g. soft start, time delays etc. can be set to suit the particular equipment.
Determining the output frequency (vibrating frequency)
It is essential that the output frequency is adjusted with the set point set at a low frequency, otherwise on hitting the
resonant frequency it is possible to achieve a high amplitude with a low output voltage. An analog, effective value,
current indicating unit (moving iron meter) must be connected into the output circuit. Resonant is reached when there
is a maximum amplitude for a minimum output current.
To achieve a stable feed system there must be an offset between the vibrating frequency and resonance
(approx. 1…2Hz). This offset must be determined by the user because different feeders have different running
characteristics.

It is essential that the output frequency is adjusted with the set point set at a low frequency, otherwise on hitting the
resonant frequency it is possible to achieve a high amplitude with a low output voltage. An analog, effective value,
current indicating unit (moving iron meter) must be connected into the output circuit. Resonant frequency is reached
when there is a maximum amplitude for a minimum output current.
To achieve a stable feed system there must be an offset between the vibrating frequency and resonance
(approx. 1…2Hz). This offset must be determined by the user because different feeders have different running
characteristics.

10. Error messages / ERROR reset
Errors are indicated by an alternating code and ERROR display
Overload limit
Output level exceeded e.g. incorrect frequency setting, coil air-
gap to wide.
Short circuit trip
Faulty coil, short circuit or defective cable.
Over voltage
Supply voltage too high or back EMF from the coil at lower
frequencies.
Current spike limit
Frequency set too low for installed coil or frequency altered too
rapidly during setting up.
Sensor fault (only when regulation mode is selected)
Accelerometer not working or faulty.
ERROR Reset through Menu C009
Sensor time out
After sensor time out has elapsed
ERROR Reset is achieved by pressing touch panel keys 0 or I during normal operation or by using Menu
C009.
In the event of an error check that this is not caused by incorrect wiring or cable faults. The error message, ERROR
ACC, can also occur if regulation mode is chosen (in Menu C008) and an accelerometer is not connected, for example.
Reset the error in the following manner:-
ERROR RESET
Frequently appearing Errors, which are not described in this chapter, should be reported to the manufacturer.
