REOVIB MFS 368 Operating instructions WARNING Influence of electromagnetic fields on active implants Frequency converters generate electromagnetic fields (EMF) during operation. Electromagnetic fields can affect active implants, e.g. pacemakers. This puts people with active implants in the immediate vicinity of an frequency converter at risk.

REOVIB MFS 368 Operating instructions 1.0 General The control unit generates an adjustable output frequency for the vibratory feeder independently of the mains frequency. The PFC circuit on the input side ensures a constant output voltage both at an input voltage of 110 V and 230 V.
REOVIB MFS 368 Operating instructions whether parts pass the sensor within a period of time (e.g. no-load signal). As an alternative to the material flow control, the sensor input can be used for switching to a second, internally adjustable setpoint, e.g. to realise a "fast/slow" function. In parallel with control of the feeder, a 24 V DC output is available for the IP54 housing version, which can control a blowing air valve to support the parts flow.

REOVIB MFS 368 Operating instructions 8.0 Commissioning 8.1 Preparatory measures Notes With the control units described here, it is possible to adjust the resonant frequency of the connected feeder. Since in this case even a small setpoint value can lead to full operation of the feeder, appropriate care must be taken to ensure that no damage occurs in the feeder due to coil hammering.
REOVIB MFS 368 Operating instructions 9.0 Settings 9.1 Notes on controller mode • For controller mode, an accelerometer mounted on the vibratory feeder is required, e.g. SW 70 (for IP54 units) or SW10 (for IP20 units). • In control mode with sensor feedback, all vibrations detected by the sensor are processed in the control circuit.

REOVIB MFS 368 Operating instructions In the case of bowl feeders, it is advisable to mount the sensor as far as possible on the outer diameter so that the largest possible vibration displacement is covered. If the sensor signal is too low, the setpoint's control range is significantly restricted.
REOVIB MFS 368 Operating instructions 9.3 Correlation between acceleration and vibration amplitude The sensor measures the feeder's instantaneous acceleration. This results in a sinusoidal output voltage of the sensor. The acceleration increases with increasing vibrating frequency. Therefore, the sensor output signal can be larger at high frequencies and small vibration amplitude than at low frequencies and larger vibration amplitude.
