1.1 Functional description
The modules dose the power at the vibrating magnets through phase angle without further control. The setting of
power is done with a potentiometer, analogue reference 2 to 10 Volt DC or analogue constrained-current operation 0 to
20 mA. The aforementioned reference value allows line lengths of more than 10 meters, otherwise the max length of
the line is 3 m. When operating between heavy interference centres, the control wires should be shielded.
The output voltage for the smallest reference values 0 Volt (potentiometer at the left catch) can be selected with the
trimming potentiometer between 0 and 90 Volt (eff.) The highest output voltage at the reference vale 100 % can be set
with the trimming potentiometer Umax between 150 and 220 Volteff.
An enable input allows the module to be switched on and off wattless. Enable can be done with a normally open
contact or voltage signal 12.....24 Volt DC. The connections for the reference value and enable are free from the mains
potential.
Pins 19 and 20 are made available for the operating mode. If these pins are bridged, the module is working on sym-
metric full wave. The vibration is then working with double the mains frequency. A missing connection leads to an
asymmetric half wave, so that the vibrating drive is working on the mains frequency.
The fuses are accessible from the front panel. It is a microfuse 5x20 mm. The value for the module ESM 906 is 10 A
super quick. This fuse is only to protect the internal semiconductor. An overload fuse to protect the complete
unit has to be done external (i=6A).
The module ESM 910 has now own fuse, but it has a short-circuit-proof on the main power supply unit.
The modules are provided with a fixed preset soft start.
Set-up
The modules have, at the left side wall, a heat dissipation plate for the power semiconducter. Therefore it is necessary
to have a free space of a least 50 mm to the next appliance for heat dissipation.

2 Safety Instructions
It is always necessary to read and understand the safety instructions. This ensures that valuable material is not damaged and injuries are avoided.
Steps must be taken to ensure that all persons working with this control unit are familiar with the safety regulations and
observe them.
The device described in this manual is a control unit for operating RNA bowl feeders and linear feeders. The limit values specified in the technical data must be observed.
Note!
This hand indicates tips on operation of the control unit.
Attention!
This warning triangle indicates safety instructions. Failure to heed this warning can lead to severe
injuries or death!
Work on electrical equipment of the machine/plant may be carried out only by a trained electrician or by
untrained persons under the leadership and supervision of a trained electrician in accordance with the
regulations for electrical engineering!
All safety and danger signs on the machine/plant must be observed!
The electrical equipment of a machine/plant must be inspected and checked regularly. Defects such as
loose connections or damaged cables must be remedied immediately!
Before commencing operation, make sure that the earthing line (power earth, PE) is intact and installed
at the connecting point. Only test instruments approved for this purpose may be used for checking the
safety grounding conductor.
3 Commissioning Instructions
Before connecting up to the mains and switching on the control unit, it is essential to check the following
points:
Is the control unit in proper working condition and closed with all screws?
Are the connector locks clicked in/screwed secure?
Are all cables and glands intact?
Is PROPER INTENDED USAGE ensured?
Does the mains voltage specification on the control unit agree with the local mains voltage?
Does the mains frequency specification on the vibratory drive agree with the local mains?
Is the correct operating mode set on the control unit? (See "Operating Mode" section)
Operation of the control unit may be commenced only when all questions asked above can be answered unambiguously with YES.
Before you start operation after repair work has been carried out or control units/vibrating drives have been
exchanged, set the output on the control unit to minimum before switching on. Check that the system is
working properly when you increase the output.
