Feeder Machine

1. Feed distribution
   • ⁠modification to dispensing logic: currently the % distribution only controls the shifter; conveyor runs single speed continuous; that means discharge ends up quicker than the shifter can move to the next position and feed is already discharged well below the subsequent setpoint by the time it reaches the next position)
   • Images
   • Problem analysis:

• 2 Startup in Auto Mode

• 3 Feeder auto tare loop

• 4 next time: ⁠go through all controls and components once together

• 5 Backup files for hmi and plc (final versions)

1. Include button on HMI in manual mode to force the SC feeder to run (to recovery when fault)

2. Label changes

   • Change label ‘Zero zero’ to ‘Tare’
   • Change label ‘pump’ to ‘SC Feeder’
   • Change label ‘main’ to ‘auto’

3. Tare button from HMI and control panel next to feeder does not work

4. What is the purpose of the green button left, next to the HMI

   1. Answer: screw conveyor on, same as the new blue button.

• interlock between sensor and screw conveyor in auto mode: screw conveyors should only be able to run if proximity sensor is off
