Switching
sequence/
requirements
The

feeder
has
the
following
conditions
and
requirements
with
respect
to
the
switching
sequence.
Drive
transportation
chain
including
oil
lubrication
The
belt
feeder
may
only
be
activated
in
automatic
mode
if
the
discharge
transport
(transportation
chain
including
drive)
is
functioning.
In
automatic
mode,
the
drive
of
the
transportation
chain:
may
only
start
turning
when
the
paddle
shaft
runs
for
at
least
5
seconds;
may
never
turn/
start
turning
if
the
paddle
shaft
is
not
running.
If
the
paddle
shafts
is
blocking,
the
discharge
transport
(transportation
chain
including
drive)
should
stop
immediately.

1.1.1 Requirements for the Switching Sequence of the Belt Feeder
Drive
transporta-on
chain
that
includes
oil
lubrica-on
You
can
only
start
the
belt
feeder
in
automa1c
mode
if
the
discharge
transport
(transporta1on
chain
that
includes
drive)
operates.
In

mode,
the
drive
of
the
transporta1on
chain:
Can
only
start
to
turn
when
the
paddle

operates
for
a
minimum
of
5
seconds.
Cannot
turn
if
the
paddle

does
not
operate.
If
the

causes
a

stop
the

The
drive
of
transportation
chain:
is
controlled
by
means
of
a
frequency
inverter;
is
executed
with
a
temperature
sensor
(PTC),
which
is
to
be
connected
to
the
frequency
converter.
if
the
PTC
is
measuring
a
too
high
value
at
the
drive
of
the
transportation
chain,
the
drive
must
be
stopped
immediately
by
the
frequency
inverter
–
based
on
an
error
message.
The
speed
of
the
frequency
controlled
transportation
chain
is
adjustable:
by
a
potentio
meter
connected
to
the
frequency
converter;
or
through
the
analog
output
of
a
PLC
control.
The
speed
of
the
transportation
chain
is
to
be
dsiplayed,
for
example
on
a
scale
of
0
to
100%.
If
the
drive
of
the
transportation
chain
is
turning,
both
oil
lubrication
devices
–
to
lubricate
the
chains
on
both
sides
of
the
transportation

–
must
be
active.
Lubrication
can
be
done
in
