E0001905A Progressive Logic, NBA 23 The NBA CRUZcontrol Logic Assembly provides an “air to drive” logic output utilizing a normally closed pneumatic valve. The XenoROL CRUZcontrol Logic Assembly provides an “air to brake” logic output, utilizing a normally open pneumatic valve. With both types of logic, the pneumatic valve is energized for a zone to be running.

IOM CRUZcontrol® Progressive Logic Flow Conveyor Zone 6 Zone 5 Zone 4 Zone 3 Zone 2 Zone 1 Stopped Running Running Running Running Running Stopped Progressive Logic functions such that no zones are set to accumulate unless all downstream zones hold accumulated product and the photoelectric sensors are blocked.

Progressive Logic Assemblies should be retained, but only in those locations. CRUZcontrol provides the ability to for slug release. If the line is set to Slug Release, all affected zones will run immediately, regardless of downstream conditions, resulting in the immediate release of product with little or no gaps.
The pneumatic valve has a small red lever controlling valve shutoff. This must be set to “0” (not “1”) for proper valve operation. For zone lengths greater than 36 inches, the following extension cable is used to connect to each Logic Assemblies.

Class 2 power supply should be used. This limits the output power to a total of 100 VA. The current required for each CRUZcontrol Logic Assembly is 67mA, which allows for up to 53 zones per power supply. There is also a limit on the maximum number of Logic Assemblies that...

(provide power to) either the Logic Signal or Slug Signal lines of CRUZcontrol. The Release Out switch should be set to Sourcing. (The Release Out feature is not required to operate CRUZcontrol. These same functions are also provided for with the Function Module, which comes with plug in connections.)
IOM CRUZcontrol® Power Supply Wiring Connection made between two Logic Assemblies using a T Cable: This drawing illustrates a power connection made between two intermediate accumulation zones making use of a T Cable. Note that all power and control signals, including the Slug and Logic Signals, pass through the T Cable uninterrupted.

Logic Assemblies doesn’t exceed 53. The number of CRUZcontrol zones that can be connected per string must also be reduced according to the total length of wire and cable used to reach the first CRUZcontrol Logic Assembly of the string (refer to chart under Power Supply Requirements section).
Page 18
Using two Power Supplies to power one extended CRUZcontrol string: A CRUZcontrol string with more than 53 Logic Assemblies would require the use of more than one power supply. This can be done, but it requires that the power supplies be isolated from each other at the +24 volt line.
Generation 2 Function Modules Function Modules (Generation 2) Function Modules are an important accessory to CRUZcontrol. They provide electrical isolation for external processes and controls and facilitate CRUZcontrol system applications. There are three different Function Modules, each providing different groups of functions:...
Page 20
IOM CRUZcontrol® Function Module Power Requirements The Function Modules get power by being connected into a string of Logic Assemblies. As a result, it will reduce the maximum number of Logic Assemblies that can be connected into one string. This is shown in the following chart, which is based on a 3 foot cable from the power supply to the first Logic Assembly, and 3 foot maximum zone spacing.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Use of 115 VAC controls with all Function Modules Important information regarding the use of 115 VAC controls: These Function Modules will accept 115 VAC level control inputs. There are some cautions that must be observed to avoid Function Module hardware failure.
The Slug Release line is turned ON. This can occur by applying power (turning ON) the slug line at any point in the CRUZcontrol™ system. The Function Module can be used to supply power to the Slug Release Line and to manipulate the slug signal.
Page 23
IOM CRUZcontrol® Downstream Slug Interrupt Definition: The Slug Release line is disconnected going to the downstream Logic Assembly. Action: Logic Assemblies downstream of the Function Module will not slug release when the Slug Release Line is turned ON either at the Function Module itself or upstream of the Function Module.

A Discharge Logic Assembly is a Basic Logic Assembly without a solenoid valve attached. It can be used to control the release from the last, discharge zone of a length of CRUZcontrol. Since there is no solenoid valve, the same Discharge Logic Assembly will work for either NBA™23 or XenoROL ®...
Auxiliary Photoelectric Sensors There is often a need to sense product presence on a CRUZcontrol equipped conveyor, with the sensors connected to a control system other than CRUZcontrol. To allow for this, adequate space has been provided along side of the CRUZcontrol photoelectric sensors to allow for the mounting of a second independent photoelectric sensor, sharing the same holes through the conveyor side channels and the same reflector.
Photo sensor with bracket, 20-264 VAC or 15-30 VDC (NPN) operation The 10-30 VDC photo sensors are similar to the CRUZcontrol sensors. They are dark switching, with a 50 mA maximum output current, and come with a 6-foot cable (no connector).
XenoROL. The CRUZcontrol manual states the following: “CRUZcontrol Logic Assemblies are designed to be fail-safe. A loss of module power, a disconnected or severed cable, or a dirty or failed photoelectric sensor will all result in the stopping of a zone, initiating accumulation beginning from the affected zone.
Page 46
ECG 2.1 describes how to determine the location for the sensor. The hardware required in this example, in addition to that already provided with CRUZcontrol, includes the following: Description...
Page 47
IOM CRUZcontrol® The Full Function Module is connected as shown just downstream of the last accumulation zone prior to the curve. Release from that zone is stopped if the Auxiliary Photo Sensor senses full accumulation (blocked for a time delay period), or if the Logic Assembly just downstream of the curve stops the upstream release due to being accumulated.
Page 48
Example 3: This example is similar to Example 1, but will only work if the throughput rate is low. The CRUZcontrol Logic Assemblies must be Basic Logic. Product does not accumulate on the curved section of the conveyor. The conveyor shown is XP43CZ.

What this example will show is a method for control done locally, meaning that it requires no additional external logic. The hardware required in this example, in addition to that already provided with CRUZcontrol, includes the following. The junction box shown is not included in this listing.
Page 51
SWITCH (alternate connection) Operation: All cartons stop at the Work Zone when the CRUZcontrol photoelectric sensor in that zone is blocked. To release cartons stopped at the zone, the Foot Switch needs to be depressed until the carton clears the photoelectric sensor.
Page 52
3. The CRUZcontrol Logic Assembly at the final discharge zone could be Basic Logic, with all other upstream Logic Assemblies Progressive Logic. This would reduce the NBA 23 release rate while still retaining the infeed and throughput rate benefits of Progressive Logic.
Page 53
Example 7: Power Monitoring. There could be situations where it is desirable to monitor the 24 VDC power source for the CRUZcontrol. A loss of power, for whatever reason, will result in all zones going into accumulation, immediately stopping all product movement.
Page 54
Example 8: Product Gapping The following describes a technique, using CRUZcontrol, which creates a gap in a train of moving product. In the situation described, the gap is used to allow for the raising of a product stop. This would apply primarily to the progressive mode of accumulation control, which accumulates and discharges from accumulation with only very minimal gaps between products.
Page 55
IOM CRUZcontrol® activated. This in turn enables accumulation beginning with the next upstream accumulation zone, once the Photosensor in that zone is blocked. Function Module #2 (also a Release Function Module) is configured and wired for Logic Interrupt operation. When it receives a signal (from the PLC), it passes the signal from the down stream accumulation zone to the upstream accumulation zone.
