IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 3.5: D EFINITION ERMS Logic Assembly The logic assembly is to setup the type of automatic accumulation and discharge of product on the conveyor. Function Module The function module provides electrical isolation for external signals used to control a CRUZcontrol system.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Chapter 4: CRUZ CONTROL ONCEPT The CRUZcontrol product line is a set of components used to setup accumulation and discharge on NBC conveyor. It consists of logic modules that detect product that control accumulation, function modules that release product, and 24VDC power supplies.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 4.1: CRUZ CONTROL OGIC YPES The following describes the differences between the two logic alternatives. The descriptions as written more closely describe product movement on NBC-N non-contact accumulation conveyor, where accumulated product is brought to a full stop. NBC-C conveyor, where a stopped zone does not have brakes but becomes gravity flow, will have very different product flow characteristics.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 4.3: P ROGRESSIVE OGIC Accumulation in Progressive Logic Mode A zone is not set to accumulate product until all downstream zones hold accumulation product. Note that with Progressive Logic products being transported on the conveyor can remain tightly packed, without any gaps being created.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 4.4: CRUZ CONTROL OMPONENTS CRUZcontrol LOGIC ASSEMBLY The CRUZcontrol Logic Assembly consists of a polarized retro-reflective type photoelectric sensor, pneumatic valve and logic module integrated into one assembly. The photoelectric sensor will function reliably on conveyor widths up to 34 inches between frames. The sensor is polarized, and is not affected by shiny surfaces.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 4.5: L OGIC SSEMBLY YPES The CRUZcontrol Logic Assembly 1114947 provides an “air to brake” logic output utilizing a normally open pneumatic valve. The pneumatic valve is energized for a zone to be running. The CRUZcontrol Logic Assembly 1114948 provides an “air to drive” logic output utilizing a normally closed pneumatic valve.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 4.6: F UNCTION ODULES The Function Module provides electrical isolation for external controls and creates controllable zones to facilitate CRUZcontrol applications. Function Module Types There are two different Function Modules, each providing certain of functions. Table 3: Function Module Functions Single Slug...

IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Slug Release Definition All zones that are connected in one continuous string release at the same time regardless of zone status. All zones will continue to release until the release signal is removed. Configuration The logic assemblies can be in basic or progressive mode. When releasing from the discharge end of the conveyor line all jumper terminals should be on pins 1-2.
Page 22
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Pulse Release Definition Upstream Logic Assembly releases for a length of time set by ZS ON (0-20s) and then accumulates for length of time set by ZS OFF (0-20s). Configuration When releasing from the discharge end of the conveyor line jumper terminal JP3, NC - all other jumper terminals should be on pins 1-2.
Page 23
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Zone Status Indication Definition Indicates full or empty status of the downstream zone on TB3. Configuration JP4, 1-2 and JP5, 1-2 for logic status or 2-3 for sensor status, all other jumper terminals should be on pins 1-2. User Action Connect to TB3 for zone status.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 4.7: T ERMINAL AND UMPER ESCRIPTIONS Terminal Descriptions Single release, Logic interrupt, Pulse release. This terminal is an isolated input; it must be used when signal voltage is from a supply that is different than the supply powering CRUZcontrol logic assemblies. It can be used when signal voltage is from same power supply that is powering CRUZcontrol logic assemblies.

IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Chapter 5: P OWER UPPLIES A 24VDC power supply is needed to power the logic assemblies and the function modules. One power T cable is prewired to the power supply. The power supply is available in 120VAC or 480VAC versions. Power Supply Requirements CRUZcontrol operates from a Class 2 power supply voltage of 24-28VDC.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 5.1: P OWER UPPLY IRING 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.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 5.2: O OWER UPPLY USED TO POWER TWO SEPARATE CRUZ CONTROL SECTIONS This drawing illustrates the use of one power supply to power two separate, short CRUZcontrol sections on two different conveyors. This can be done to make better use of the full capacity of a power supply.

IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 5.5: A CCESSORIES Auxiliary Photoelectric Sensor 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.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Extension Cables The following extension cables are available to meet application requirements where longer zone lengths or skipped zones must be accommodated. Each cable has 4 conductors, with male and female 2X2 connector ends. Table 10: Extension Cables Part Number Description 1117372...

IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 6.3.1: Examples This guideline provides various suggestions on how to apply CRUZcontrol to meet some specific control requirements. Example 1: Applying Progressive CRUZcontrol While this example is based specifically on contact accumulation NBC-C, the principals covered also apply to non-contact accumulation conveyor NBC-N.
Page 43
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Example 2: Progressive Logic Accumulation Release Control CRUZcontrol Logic Assemblies set to Progressive Logic mode provide for high throughput rates and efficient release, compared to Basic Logic mode. In simple terms, Basic Logic tries to create zone length gaps in the flow of product, where as Progressive Logic allows product to flow without creating gaps.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Example 3: Releasing from CRUZcontrol Releasing from CRUZcontrol Problem Releasing Accumulated Product Solution When using CRUZcontrol the product will automatically accumulate. A signal must be given to the function module to get it to release. Configuration Plug Function module into discharge zone.

IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Example 4: CRUZcontrol around a curve. (Low rate) CRUZcontrol around a curve – Low Rate Problem Product releasing into a curve then not having a zone to occupy. This situation occurs because it takes longer for product to go from zone 2 to zone 1 than it does for product to go from zone 3 to zone 2.

IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Example 5: CRUZcontrol around a curve. (High rate) CRUZcontrol around a curve – High Rate Problem Product releasing into a curve then not having a zone to occupy. This situation occurs because it takes longer for product to go from zone 5 to zone 4 than it does for product to go from zone 6 to zone 5.
Page 49
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC Note that stopping the release of product as done in this example could result in a product left partially on the powered curve with the trailing end on the stopped discharge end of the accumulation conveyor. If this is a concern, a photo sensor should be added to the discharge zone, with appropriate logic to insure that no products are stopped partially released.

IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 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.
IOM CRUZcontrol® Generation2 for NBC 6.4: O PERATION The Product Present Photosensor is connected to a PLC (programmable logic controller). The Photosensor is used to sense if product is accumulated behind the Product Stop, ready to be released. The Photosensor is also used to sense a gap in the flow of product adequate enough to raise the Product Stop after releasing product from the lane.
