Connection of valves to the valve terminal<\/h2>\n\n

Connect the hoses to the marked valves, the places marked A<\/strong> are responsible for opening the valve, while the places marked B <\/strong>are responsible for closing the valve. In the places marked Z5, Z6, you can connect no hose, connect a hose to only one valve, or connect hoses to both valves. <\/p>\n\n

Connection of valves on the board<\/h2>\n\n
\"Nutri<\/figure>\n\n

Connect the appropriate cables to the marked two-pin sockets on the board, there is no need to connect the +24VDC power supply.There are cable flags hanging on the cables to help you distinguish them from each other (Z1, Z3, Z5, Z6). <\/p>\n\n

Sensor parameters:Inductive sensor, PNP\/NO output configuration; 0\u00f78mm; 10\u00f730VDC; M12.<\/p>\n\n

Sensor LEDs<\/h3>\n\n
\"Nutri<\/figure>\n\n

There is a LED above each sensor. If the sensor detects an object in its field of vision, the corresponding LED will turn on, provided the hardware is working properly. The names of the LEDs correspond to the sensor designations on the board. <\/p>\n\n

Connecting the board’s power supply<\/h2>\n\n
\"Nutri<\/figure>\n\n

In the marked place, connect the power cable for the board (from the left 28VDC, GND).If the board is powered from the battery, 24VDC will be applied. <\/p>\n\n

Power parameters: Buffer power supply; modular; 38.6W; 27.6VDC; 1.4A; OUT: 1; 370g;<\/p>\n\n

Fuses: B1 – 0.5A time delay;B2 – 3.15A time delay.<\/p>\n\n

Connecting the communication<\/h2>\n\n
\"Nutri<\/figure>\n\n

Connect cables to the bridged RS485 connector to the marked terminals. Connect cable<\/strong> A<\/strong> to the terminal marked A<\/strong>, connect cable<\/strong> B <\/strong>to the terminal marked B<\/strong>, and connect the shielded GND<\/strong> cable to the terminal marked GND<\/strong>. If there is a need to connect sorting stations serially, then connect the cables communicating with the Bridge<\/strong> to the terminals on the left, and connect another sorting station to the terminals on the right. <\/p>\n\n

Line termination<\/h3>\n\n

If the sorter is the last device connected on the line then line termination should be enabled on it. This is done by setting the marked switch to ON<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

\"Nutri<\/figure>\n\n

Connection of valve terminal power supply<\/h2>\n\n
\"Nutri<\/figure>\n\n

At the marked place, connect the power supply of the valve terminal with the following cables:– red (24VDC) – white (GND) <\/p>\n\n

Connection of strain gauge beams<\/h2>\n\n
\"Nutri<\/figure>\n\n

Connect the first strain gauge bar to the marked socket [1]<\/strong>.Connect the red cable to the A+ terminal, connect the yellow cable to the A- terminal, connect the white cable to the E- terminal, and connect the green cable to the E+ terminal.Connect the second strain gauge bar similarly to the second terminal [2]<\/strong>.For convenience, there are cable flags (TS1, TS2) on the cables. <\/p>\n\n

Connecting an alarm line<\/h2>\n\n
\"Nutri<\/figure>\n\n

A solid-state output can be connected to the alarm line.If a fault is reported during operation, the device breaks the line circuit, thus triggering an alarm. <\/p>\n\n

RFID antenna connection<\/h2>\n\n
\"Nutri<\/figure>\n\n

Connect the GND wire to the terminal labeled GND<\/strong>, the B wire to the terminal labeled B<\/strong>, and the A wire to the terminal labeled A<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
