Page 11: Tgw Systems Conveyor Controls Safety Guidelines
The following basic conveyor control safety guidelines are recommended by TGW Systems even though Business Partner may or may not purchase conveyor controls from TGW Systems. The items listed deal with applications of controls equipment. The actual installation of the equipment must always follow the National Electric Code and all other local codes.
Page 12 NBC™ Flat Belt - IOM An emergency stop should normally stop all conveyors in the system. Very large systems may involve dividing a system into zones of control based on proximity of personnel, safety hazards, walls obstacles, etc. Controls Logic Solid state controls logic devices, such as programmable controllers are used extensively for conveyor control.
Page 13: Chapter 3: Nbc Introduction
The conveyor differences are as follows: Contact Accumulation The NBC contact accumulation zones are 4' long, but operate in such a manner as to allow mixed length product to dense pack accumulate. The products are allowed to touch and bump, but are at zero-pressure accumulation after they stop.
Page 14 NBC Logic Module Assembly Transportation The NBC transportation has the same spring loaded pressure pans as the accumulation versions, but no air diaphragm to disengage the pressure pan. A plastic Cam can be manually activated to lock the pressure pan in the down position for ease of belt installation. However, once the plastic Cam is manually deactivated, the pressure pan always holds the drive belt in contact with the carrier roller.
Page 15: Nbc Guidelines
The conveyor downstream from progressive release NBC must run at a speed which allows it to receive products as fast as they are released from the NBC conveyor. There will not be a gap or means of detecting a specific product, directly on the end of NBC without a downstream speed-up bed.

5th logic module to basic. Discharge Zone A function module is provided for the discharge bed prior to shipping. If the NBC line is feeding another NBC line, a release type function module is not required. Horsepower Principles The horsepower required for NBC conveyor is based on the effort (in pounds) to pull the belt through the conveyor (belt pull), turning all the rollers and moving the product at a given speed.
Page 18: Nbc General Cautions
Rollers in the center 4’ zone in all 12’ intermediate beds are designed to skew if required. No • other rollers in the bed can be skewed. Any NBC conveyor that has skewed rollers without proper installation will immediately and permanently VOID ALL TGW WARRANTIES.
Page 19: Alve Pplications
ALVE PPLICATIONS NBC Air Transportation Conveyor NBC Flat Belt Air Transportation is typically used in conjunction with a downstream NBC Flat Belt Contact Accumulation conveyor. Air Pilot Valve NBC Air Transportation should be used when downstream accumulation is full. The air pilot valve receives a signal from the last downstream accumulation zone and disengages the pressure pan assemblies for the entire unit.
Page 20 NBC Contact Accumulation zone clears, a control signal triggers the Solenoid Valve to activate (close or stop the air flow) and the NBC Air Transportation conveyor will activate and convey the product downstream. Review the detail above to determine correct Pilot or Solenoid Valve Kit on the NBC Contact Accumulation conveyor flow.

Page 42: Chapter 10: Nbc Skewing Nbc Rollers
KEWING OLLERS Skewing rollers is required on NBC if you are using contact accumulation and if the between frame (BF) dimension of your conveyor is double the width of the smallest product. The normal method of skewing is to install a factory skew bed at the charge end of your conveyor. If your conveyor line is over 100' long and you have small product on it, you may want to add a maintenance skew bed midway down the conveyor to preserve the product alignment.
Page 43 NBC™ Flat Belt - IOM 12' Skew Bed Installation TGW Systems' dedicated 12' skew bed typically is installed as the first 12' bed section in a NBC conveyor line, starting from the charge end. The rollers are factory skewed to the requested side and the installation is the same as any other NBC intermediate bed section.

NBC. It is the intent of TGW Systems, through this manual, to provide information that acts as a guide in the installation, operation, and maintenance of TGW Systems conveyors featuring CRUZcontrol Logic.
Page 57 The CRUZcontrol product line is a set of off the shelf components used to setup accumulation and discharge on NBC conveyor. It consists of logic modules that detect product which control accumulation, function modules that release product, and 24 VDC power supplies. There are also accessories such as sensors and cables to ease installation and interfacing.
Page 58: Setting Logic Modules
NBC™ Flat Belt - IOM 1.31: S ETTING OGIC ODULES After mechanical and electrical installation is complete and there is air to the system, the logic modules may need to be reset. All logic modules are factory set in the basic mode indicated by the green light. This logic mode may be adequate for your conveyor system.
Page 59: Basic And Progressive Logic
ASIC AND ROGRESSIVE OGIC Every NBC accumulation conveyor is equipped with logic modules that can be switched from basic to progressive logic with a manually activated toggle switch. A green light indicates basic mode and an amber light progressive mode.
Page 60 NBC™ Flat Belt - IOM Basic Logic Operation Basic Logic functions such that when any two successive photoelectric sensors are blocked, the upstream zone is set to accumulate (stop driving).

Page 61 NBC™ Flat Belt - IOM Progressive Logic Operation Progressive accumulation functions such that no zones are set to accumulate unless ALL the downstream electronic sensors are blocked, meaning that all downstream zones hold accumulated product. In the above example, the discharge zone, Zone 6, is shown stopped which is the result of the release from the zone being inhibited (receiving conveyor is stopped) and the Zone 6 sensor being blocked.
Page 62 NBC™ Flat Belt - IOM CAUTION 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 assuming that air pressure is present.
Page 63: Application - Cruz ® Logic
Logic Modules and Release Rates Your NBC conveyor comes with a field switchable logic module for every zone. All the logic modules are shipped in the basic mode. This will be indicated by a green light when the 24VDC power is activated.
Page 64 Failures to follow the 4:1 logic module rule will result in voiding the factory warranty. NBC Releasing Accessories Two items are always required at the discharge end of an NBC accumulation conveyor: 1. A signal to release or accumulate product 2.
Page 65 A signal to release or accumulate product This is normally a 24V signal from the system PLC to the release function module of the NBC. These Function Modules will accept 115 VAC control inputs. There are some cautions that must be observed to avoid Function Module hardware failure.
Page 66: A Method Of Stopping The Coasting Product
For speeds up to 129 FPM, a brake with six coated rollers is sufficient. Standard brake kits are available for NBC. For speeds from 130 FPM to 230 FPM, a stop is recommended at the discharge end of NBC to stop the coasting product and begin accumulation. Standard stop assemblies are available for NBC.
Page 67 NBC™ Flat Belt - IOM A belt unit downstream can be used in place of either a brake or a stop. If this belt option is selected, use the CRUZ ® belt 4 series. P/N: 1118140 Rev: 07/29/2020 Page 67 of 129...

The photoelectric sensor will function reliably on conveyor widths up to 34" between frames. The sensor is polarized, and is not affected by shiny surfaces. On NBC applications, the reflector is mounted with a 6 inch offset from the photoelectric sensor, so that the sensor scans across the conveyor on a slight angle.

Page 92 The Discharge Logic Assembly is connected to the Logic Assembly at the discharge end of the NBC conveyor. There is no need for a Function Module to be attached to it. The DLA does not need to be given a release signal. Product blocking that photoelectric sensor will stop release from the NBC discharge zone, until the photoelectric sensor clears again.
Page 93 NBC™ Flat Belt - IOM Example The NBC is running at 180 FPM, feeding the induction conveyor section prior to a pick zone module diverter. Without proper control of the discharge from the NBC, cartons released to the induction conveyor could possibly overdrive it and push past the 90 FPM section onto the 180 FPM section, not permitting product gapping to occur as required for the diverter to function properly.
Page 94 NBC™ Flat Belt - IOM Operation 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.
