Network (Serial)

Local
"Local" refers to control from the User Interface. Once you set the control
source to Local, the Feeder Control menu (see Main Menu > Feeder Control) is
used to start and stop the feeder and enter the setpoint.
Remote (Analog)
"Remote (Analog)" refers to control from an outside source as follows:
Setpoint is determined from an analog signal. Note: An analog input must be
mapped to the appropriate control variable (see Main Menu > Advanced Setup
> Analog I/O > Inputs > Function).
Feeder Start/Stop is controlled by the Logical input "Run Permission". Typically
this is mapped to a Physical input for remote control (see Main Menu >
Advanced Setup > Digital I/O).
Network (Serial)
"Network (Serial)" refers to control from an outside source as follows:
Setpoint is determined from a Network source (i.e. PLC). Note: A Network input
must be mapped to the appropriate control variable (see Main Menu >
Advanced Setup > Analog I/O > Inputs >Network).
Feeder Start/Stop is controlled by the Logical input "Run Permission". Typically
this is mapped to a Network input for remote control, but it could be a Physical
input instead (see Main Menu > Advanced Setup > Digital I/O).
Method
This refers to the method of control, or what the controlled variable is to be. The
choices for this setting are:
Rate Control
Speed Control
Open Loop
