1 –Pump 9-Station Controller Chapter 1: Safety viii

1-3 Responsibility

These machines are constructed for maximum operator safety when used under standard
operating conditions and when recommended instructions are followed in the maintenance
and operation of the machine.

All personnel engaged in the use of the machine should become familiar with its operation as
described in this manual.

Proper operation of the machine promotes safety for the operator and all workers in its
vicinity.

Each individual must take responsibility for observing the prescribed safety rules as outlined.
All warning and danger signs must be observed and obeyed. All actual or potential danger
areas must be reported to your immediate supervisor.

General Responsibility

No mater who you are, safety is important. Owners, operators and maintenance personnel
must realize that every day, safety is a vital part of their jobs.

If your main concern is loss of productivity, remember that production is always affected in a
negative way following an accident. The following are some of the ways that accidents can
affect your production:

• Loss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently)

• Breakdown of shop morale

• Costly damage to equipment

• Downtime

An effective safety program is responsible and economically sound.

Organize a safety committee or group, and hold regular meetings. Promote this group from
the management level. Through this group, the safety program can be continually reviewed,
maintained, and improved. Keep minutes or a record of the meetings.

Hold daily equipment inspections in addition to regular maintenance checks. You will keep
your equipment safe for production and exhibit your commitment to safety.

Please read and use this manual as a guide to equipment safety. This manual contains safety
warnings throughout, specific to each function and point of operation.

1 –Pump 9-Station Controller Chapter 1: Safety ix

Operator Responsibility

The operator’s responsibility does not end with efficient production. The operator usually has
the most daily contact with the equipment and intimately knows its capabilities and
limitations.

Plant and personnel safety is sometimes forgotten in the desire to meet incentive rates, or
through a casual attitude toward machinery formed over a period of months or years. Your
employer probably has established a set of safety rules in your workplace. Those rules, this
manual, or any other safety information will not keep you from being injured while operating
your equipment.

Learn and always use safe operation. Cooperate with co-workers to promote safe practices.
Immediately report any potentially dangerous situation to your supervisor or appropriate
person.

Maintenance Responsibility

Proper maintenance is essential to safety. If you are a maintenance worker, you must make
safety a priority to effectively repair and maintain equipment.

Before removing, adjusting, or replacing parts on a machine, remember to turn off all electric
supplies and all accessory equipment at the machine, and disconnect and lockout electrical
power. Attach warning tags to the disconnect switch.

Be sure that all non-current carrying parts are correctly connected to earth ground with an
electrical conductor that complies with current codes. Install in accordance with national and
local codes.

When you have completed the repair or maintenance procedure, check your work and remove
your tools, rigging, and handling equipment.

Reporting a Safety Defect

If you believe that your equipment has a defect that could cause injury, you should
immediately discontinue its use and inform the manufacturer.

The principle factors that can result in injury are failure to follow proper operating procedures
(i.e. lockout/tagout), or failure to maintain a clean and safe working environment.

Chapter 2: Functional Description

2-1 Models Covered in This Manual

This manual provides operation, installation, and maintenance instructions for 1-Pump, 9­Station Conveying Controllers. Model numbers are listed on the serial tag. Make sure you
know the model and serial number of your equipment before contacting the manufacturer for
parts or service.

The 1-Pump, 9-Station Conveying Controller is a programmable logic controller, with 24
VDC control circuit, easy-to-use operator interface terminal and optional audible/visual
alarm.

2-2 General Description

Our material conveying systems create vacuum for the automatic conveying of most free­flowing, dry, pelletized, or granular materials. Material characteristics determine the type of
equipment needed to convey the material.

A typical use for our equipment is an in-plant distribution system for plastic processing
plants.

Our central vacuum systems are as varied as the applications they service. The tubing and
equipment furnished in our system is designed to convey the material(s) specified at the time
of purchase at specific rates and distances.

We can advise you on your system capabilities based on system makeup, distance, material,
and conveying rates you want.

System capacity is directly affected by the pressure drop in the overall system, such as
number of material line bends, pipe length, Y-tubes, T-tubes, etc.

Use the minimum effective amount of vinyl flex hose to maximize material line efficiency.
Keep material lines as straight as possible. Refer to Vacuum Pump Product manual (Part No.
A0571050) for installation recommendations.

1 –Pump 9-Station Controller Chapter 2: Functional Description 11 of 38

2-3 Standard Features

Mechanical Features

Time-fill Capability. A station’s vacuum valve remains open for a specific period of time to
allow material to be drawn in.

Volume-fill Capability. The vacuum valve will close when material covers the station’s
volume-fill proximity sensor or a specific period of time elapses, whichever comes first.

Vent Valve. The vent valve extends vacuum pump life by allowing the pump to run
unloaded (not drawing a vacuum on a station) for a specified period of time before it shuts
off. The alternative, without the vent valve would be to constantly turn the pump on and off
whenever a convey cycle is initiated.

Closed-Loop Conveying (Dry or Ambient Air). This feature allows material to be
conveyed and processed without being contaminated by outside influences (such as moisture,
other materials, etc.).

Common Purge Valve Output Control for Each Pump. This feature allows any remaining
material to be cleaned out of the material lines.

Blowback Filter Cleaning. When this feature is enabled, the controller periodically sends
compressed air backward through the pump’s air filter to dislodge accumulated dust and
debris.

Electrical Features

• 115/1/60 supply voltage

• 24 VDC control voltage

• Single-point power and ground connection

• Non-fused disconnect switch, lockable

• Branch circuit fusing

Controller Features

• Mitsubishi programmable control with LED display and keypad interface

• Monitors Station status and Pump status

1 –Pump 9-Station Controller Chapter 2: Functional Description 12 of 38

2-4 Optional Features

Options marked with “*” indicate options that can be factory installed or retrofitted in the
field.

CE Package for 220/1/50 Operation. Required in Europe and other areas that need
220/1/50 supply voltage.

*Remote audible/visual alarm. Alarm light and horn assembly that can be remote mounted
and wired into the controller to indicate an alarm condition.

2-5 Safety Devices and Interlocks

This section includes information on safety devices and procedures that are inherent to the
Controller. This manual is not intended to supersede or alter safety standards established by
the user of this equipment. Instead, the material contained in this section is recommended to
supplement these procedures in order to provide a safer working environment.

At the completion of this section, the operator and maintenance personnel will be able to do
the following:

• Identify and locate specific safety devices.

• Understand the proper use of the safety devices provided.

• Describe the function of the safety device.

Safety Circuit Standards

Safety circuits used in industrial systems protect the operator and maintenance personnel
from dangerous energy. They also provide a means of locking out or isolating the energy for
servicing equipment.

Various agencies have contributed to the establishment of safety standards that apply to the
design and manufacture of automated equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the Joint Industrial council (JIC) are just a few of the
organizations that have joined with the plastics industry to develop safety standards.

Every effort has been made to incorporate these standards into the design of the conveying
system; however, it is the responsibility of the personnel operating and maintaining the
equipment to familiarize themselves with the safety procedures and the proper use of any
safety devices.

Fail Safe Operation

If a safety device or circuit should fail, the design must be such that the failure causes a
“Safe” condition. As an example, a safety switch must be a normally open switch. The switch
must be held closed with the device it is to protect. If the switch fails, it will go to the open
condition, tripping out the safety circuit.

At no time should the safety device fail and allow the operation to continue. For example, if
a safety switch is guarding a motor, and the safety switch fails, the motor should not be able
to run.

1 –Pump 9-Station Controller Chapter 2: Functional Description 13 of 38

Safety Device Lock-Outs

Some safety devices disconnect electrical energy from a circuit. The safety devices that are
used in this Controller are primarily concerned with electrical power disconnection.

WARNING! Always disconnect and lockout all electrical power and pneumatic (i.e. compressed air)

sources prior to servicing the 1-Pump, 9-Station Controller. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury. No one but the person who installed the lockout may remove
it.

Chapter 4: Operation

4-1 Overview

Your 1-pump, 9-station controller electrically controls valves and solenoids to convey
material from a central location to individual stations as needed. The controller senses
demands for material at the stations and responds to the demands in a timely fashion.

This section provides the procedures necessary for using your controller.

Note: Before you carry out any of the procedures in this chapter, the system must be

set up as described in Chapter 3.

4-2 Starting and Stopping the System

1. Press F1 to start the conveying system. The controller will display “F1 SYS ON” in

the upper left corner of the Main Menu screen.

Note: The conveying system can also be activated by pressing the F1 key when in the

Status screen. The controller will display “F1 SYS ON”in the middle of the
bottom of the screen.

Once the system has been started, each active station is polled in sequence for a
demand signal. The convey sequence upon initiation, will continue until the set
convey time has elapsed or the demand signal stops, whichever happens first. If the
Special Timed Convey feature is enabled, conveying will continue until the convey
time has elapsed. (Once station dump delay has been initiated during the convey
sequence, a new demand signal will be ignored.) If the blowback sequence begins
immediately following the convey sequence, the sequence valve will remain open
throughout the blowback sequence.

2. To stop conveying, press F1 again when in the Main Menu or Status screen. The

controller will display “F1 SYS OFF.”

4-3 Alarms

No Convey

If no convey is enabled and the station conveys the specified number of times unsuccessfully,
the alarm horn/light will activate. The status for that station will display “NO CNVY.” If the
station is currently in convey or unload, the status will alternate between “NO CNVY” and
“CONVEY” or “UNLOAD.” Pressing F2 while the status screen is displayed will silence the
alarm. The status screen will continue to show “NO CNVY” until a successful convey
occurs.

High Vacuum

If a high vacuum condition is detected during the convey sequence, the alarm horn/light will
activate. The status for the affected station will display “HI VAC.” If the station is currently
in convey or unload, the status will alternate between “HI VAC” and “CONVEY” or
“UNLOAD.” Pressing F2 while the status screen is displayed will silence the alarm. The
status screen will continue to show “HI VAC” until a convey occurs where no high vacuum
condition is sensed.

1 –Pump 9-Station Controller Chapter 4: Operation 28 of 38

Pump Fault

If the pump verify signal is not present after the pump is started, the alarm horn/light will
activate. The pump will be stopped and set to an offline condition. The Status screen will
display “PMP FLT.” Pressing F2 while the status screen is displayed will silence the alarm.

Filter Can

If the filter can limit switch signal is not present after the pump is started, the alarm horn/light
will activate. The Status screen will display “FLTR CAN”. Pressing F2 while the status
screen is displayed will silence the alarm.

General Fault

If the general fault signal is present after the pump is started, the alarm horn/light will
activate. The pump will be stopped and set to an offline condition. The Status screen will
display “GEN FLT.” Pressing F2 while the status screen is displayed will silence the alarm.

All Faults

If after silencing an alarm, the condition remains beyond the time specified for ALARM
SILENCE DURATION, the alarm horn/light will reactivate. Pressing F2 from the status
screen will silence the alarm.

Chapter 6: Configurable Settings

This section describes the proper setup of the 1-pump, 9-station control system parameters.
These parameters are operator changeable; however, these items should require setup only
during the initial installation. Only authorized personnel should change them.

Many of the variables and setup parameters have been preset at the factory and do not need to
be changed. However, this section of the manual will address all of the setup parameters that
were available at the time of printing. The purpose of this is to familiarize the reader with all
the setup parameters and their usage.

the receiver. The controller will not attempt to deliver more
material to the station until this time has elapsed.

Adjust this value to match the actual time needed to drain the
station. If it is set too short, the controller may attempt to refill
the station before it is empty, causing material to back up
and/or underusing the station’s capacity. If it is set too long, the
system may be unable to keep up with your equipment’s
demand for material. DO NOT SET TO “Ø”.
The controller issues a “no convey” alarm if it has repeatedly
attempted to convey material to the station but the flapper
never opened during the dump delay. (The number of attempts
is controlled by this setting.)
The setting for this option depends on (a) how much material
your injection mold uses to make each part compared with the
capacity of the receiver and (b) how important it is to keep your
injection mold from running out of material and shutting down.
A higher setting will give you fewer alarms, at the risk of
emptying the receiver without warning. A lower setting will give
more frequent alarms, at the risk of disrupting operations
unnecessarily. DO NOT SET TO “Ø”.

6-2 Options for Pump Setup

The ramp time represents the amount of time it takes for the vacuum blower to come up to
full speed once it has been turned on. The ramp down time represents the amount of time it
takes the blower to stop once it has been turned off.

The ramp up time lets the blower reach full speed unloaded. When the ramp up time is
reached, the vent valve will open and allow the pump to draw a vacuum on the main vacuum
line. This in turn will open the receiver sequence valve connected to the main vacuum line
and allow material to be drawn into the vacuum receiver.

The ramp down time allows the vacuum blower to come to a full stop before it can be started
again. This prevents the blower motor from becoming a generator and blowing fuses.
