Power supply
The electrical cabinet containing the local user interface and the PLC is supplied with 3 x 380Vac –
420 Vac 50 Hz or 3 x 440Vac - 480 Vac 60 Hz from the customer electrical sub-station.
3.1.3
Plant signals connections
The system needs two analogical signals and two digital signals to work properly:
- Mill absorbed power:
4-20 mA Analogical input – can also come from the network.
- Mill feed rate:
4-20 mA Analogical input – can also come from the network.
- Magoload® operation allowed:
24 Vdc Digital or 110 – 120 Vac 60 Hz input
This signal is crucial as it prevents the balls from loading when the mill is standing.
It must be hardwired.
It can come from the mill itself if Magoload® directly feeds the mill or from a
conveyor belt if Magoload® feeds the mill through a conveyor belt.
- Mill running signal:
24 Vdc Digital or 110 – 120 Vac 60 Hz input – can also come from the network.
This signal is necessary to run the SEMI AUTOMATIC mode.
In this working mode the ball addition set point is defined by two parameters:
(1) The batch target (kg or lbs): How many balls are loaded at a time.
(2) The ball wear rate (kg/h or lbs/h): How many balls must be loaded per
mill running hour.
We will thus perform a ball addition of batch target (kg) every Batch Target
/ Ball wear rate (min).
Note : This signal is not the same as Magoload® operation allowed because if
Magoload® feeds the balls through a conveyor belt, the conveyor can be stopped
and thus also Magoload®. However the mill would be running and so the balls
would need to be loaded.
If one of those signals is available they will be tighten together.

Before testing
Before starting the tests by pushing the buttons, don’t forget to:
a) Turn the key switch S2.8 (BYPASS PLC MODE) on “MAINTENANCE” position.
b) Turn the PLC (S7 1200) key on “RUN” position to be sure to activate the lights with the
PLC.
Switch on the breaker QM3.2 of the vibrator in the cabinet and use the push buttons (BP2.8) on the
front door of the cabinet to start the vibrator.
Note:
The adjustment of the vibration intensity in "MAINTENANCE
Mode" is done using the potentiometer “MAINTENANCE
VIBRATOR SET POINT” (P.2.6.) being in the electrical
cabinet.
Use the push buttons on the cabinet front door, to open and close the vibrator gate and look at the
corresponding lights on the front panel (it helps you to see if the limit switches of the vibrator gate
are working properly).
Use the push buttons on the cabinet front door to open or close the weighing gate and look at the
corresponding lights on the front panel (it helps you to see if the limit switches of the weighing gate
are working properly).

Electric wiring of the electro-distributor
The explanations which follow are valid for the 2 pneumatic actuators.
Here the representation of the electro distributor used (MFH-5/3-1/4-B)
On picture 1, we can see:
•
•
The coil which is placed into 12 will command the closing of the gate.
The coil which is placed into 14 will command the opening of the gate.
We have the following wiring:
•
•
•
•
The W.11.3 cable will be placed on the coil and will command the opening of the vibrating
gate (14).
The W.11.4 cable will be placed on the coil and will command the closing of the vibrating gate
(12).
The W.11.6 cable will be placed on the coil and will command the opening of the weighing
gate (14).
The W.11.8 cable will be placed on the reel and will command the closing of the weighing
gate (12).

Pneumatic wiring.
The explanations which follow are valid for the 2 pneumatic actuators.
Here the pneumatic wiring of the actuators (Refer to the pneumatic diagram).
We can see that:
•
•
•
The air flow will be connected on the terminal n°1 of the electro distributor tanks to a right
connection.
The exhaust of the air will be done through silencers with the holes n°3 and n°5.
The exit n°2 will be connected to the air intake b eing on the actuator (allowing the re-entry of
the actuator). For that, will be necessary:
A union elbow (to leave it the electro distributor).
A flow control valve (for the entry on the actuator).
A reducer with joint (for the entry on the actuator).
The exit n°4 will be connected to the air intake b eing on the actuator (has the
end of the cylinder and allowing the exit of the cylinder). For that, it will be
necessary:
A union elbow (to leave it the electro distributor).
A flow control valve (for the entry on the actuator).
A reducer with joint (for the entry on the actuator).

Test.
To test our actuator, it will be necessary:
•
•
•
To have the clean instrumentation compressed air connected to the machine.
To power the electrical cabinet
To be in maintenance mode.
We can then check the electrical cabinet front door push buttons functionalities.

BP11.4: This button will order the opening of the vibrator gate.
BP11.5: This button will order the closing of the vibrator gate.
BP11.6: This button will order the opening of the weighing gate.
BP11.8: This button will order the closing of the weighing gate.
Verify the electric and pneumatic wiring if something goes wrong.
3.2.1.4
Speed regulation of opening/closing of the actuator.
The speed regulation of opening and closing will be done thanks to the small screw being on the
top of the flow control valve.
Adjust the air flow to control the speed of the door opening
and closing by trials and errors.
Too much flow will cause shocks on the door and not
enough flow will let the balls continuing to fall into the
weighing system.

They are mechanical limit switch.
Two limit switches will be placed on each door in order to be able to determine their position (open
or closed).
Those will be actuated by mechanical cams at the time of the opening or closing of the gate.
3.2.2.2
Wiring of the limit switch
We will use the limit switch of the brand Télémécanique "XCM102". The head will be a small caster
which will be inserted to make contact.
This limit switch is provided with a contact normally open and a contact normally closed.

For our application, we will use the normally open contact:
•
•
If the cam is not against the limit switch => = 0
If the cam is against the limit switch => = 1
3.2.2.3
Adjustment of the limit switch positioning
For this test, it will be necessary:
•
•
•
To have the clean instrumentation compressed air connected to the machine.
To power the electrical cabinet
To be in maintenance mode.
Then, we will actuate the gates in the two positions in order to check that the cam, once arrived at
end stop (opened and closed) make well contact with this module.
NOTE:
It is necessary that the contact between the cam and the limit switch arrives as late as possible to
be sure the gate is in position
