Description
PCA-VIB for Electromagnetic Vibratory Feeders Power Control Assembly
The PCA-VIB is a basic Analog Drive Controller package. As such, it will be necessary to provide the required operator interface controls or equivalent input contacts.
These are as follows:
- Hand-Off-Remote Selector Switch or Contacts
- Hand Speed Adjust Potentiometer
- Remote Speed Adjust Signal (Programmable, accepts current or voltage)
- Hand Start Push Button or Contact
- Hand Stop Push Button or Contact
- Remote Enable Push Button or Contact
- Remote Stop Push Button or Contact
- Emergency Stop Push Button or Contact

These assemblies are also equipped with several outputs or report back contacts that can be used to monitor the status of the PCA-VIB.
These are as follows:
- Instrument Interlock (Used for Thayer Scale Instruments)
- Drive Enabled/Stopped Contacts
- Remote Mode Selected Contact
- Drive in Hand Mode Contact (Requires optional operator station)
- Drive in Remote Mode Contact (Requires optional operator station)
The PCA-VIB is available with many standard and optional features, such as; open chassis and enclosed style options, universal enclosure mounting and latching options and Local/Remote Operator Station options (Refer to Table #1 for more details on these features). Each standard assembly contains a Locking Internal Power Disconnect Switch, Protective Fusing, Input/Output Connection Terminal Strip, Electronic Drive Controller, Motor Starter and other related components needed to complete a basic analog drive controller package.
