Continuous Gravimetric Feeder Controls

Intelligent System Control (ISC) Model Specifications


The Brabender Intelligent System Control (ISC) modules are feedermounted intelligent electronic modules fully wired to the weigh-feeder or mass flow meter. The ISC modules connect to the Operator Interface using the Brabender SCC (Single Cable Connection) Field Bus System. Up to 16 weigh-feeders in field bus interconnection can be interfaced with the Brabender Remote Multi-Feeder Controller Congrav RC4 and/or the Brabender IPC (Industrial PC) by just one single cable. The ISC Control Module (ISC-CM) monitors the weight reading, adjusts the Motor Control and communicates over the SCC bus to the operator interface. There are three versions of ISC-CM. The standard ISCCM uses digital communications to take readings from the load cell and send speed commands to the Motor Controller. The ISC-CM-SG incorporates a digital Strain Gauge load cell amplifier allowing precision readings from a strain gauge load cell and uses communications to send speed commands to the Motor Controller. The ISC-CM-A uses 0-10VDC analog signals to read the load cell and control the Motor Controller. The ISC Motor Controller takes its speed command from the ISC-CM. Also, the Output Relays for the ISC-CM are incorporated in the Motor Controller housing. There are three types of ISC Motor Controllers. The ISC-FC controls 3-Phase 230VAC motors. The ISC-DC controls 90VDC and 180VDC motors, but requires the ISC-CM-A. The ISC-VC controls 230VAC Vibration Motors. Each ISC-CM module is equipped with a service interface to connect a PC, laptop or modem for system diagnosis and trouble shooting. Each ISC feeder is equipped with one ISC-CM and one Motor Controller.

Compared with conventional technology, the integration of the metering, control and regulation electronics in the weigh-feeders themselves saves all control cabinets otherwise required and reduces cabling and installation expenses to a minimum. Additional weigh-feeders can easily be integrated in the system by connecting them to the field bus. Other industrial field bus systems are supported such as Profibus DP-V1, ControlNet and others upon request.
