SERVICE MANUAL Automatic lubrication system Memolub PLCD (24 V DC) Design, function 2.3.2 Functional description of progressive distributor The progressive distributor evenly distributes the incoming lubricant to all outputs that are in use. If an output is closed, the output on the opposite side from it will discharge double the quantity of lubricant.

SERVICE MANUAL Automatic lubrication system Memolub Design, function PLCD (24 V DC) Fig. 2-4 Function of the progressive distributor 2 After piston I has moved, lubricant flows to the left side of piston II and pushes the piston to its right-hand end position. The displaced lubricant exits through output 1.

The displaced lubricant exits through output 3.
SERVICE MANUAL Automatic lubrication system Memolub Design, function PLCD (24 V DC) 2.3.2.1 All outputs open The progressive distributor evenly distributes the incoming lubricant to all outputs. The opposite outputs are operated by the same piston. For the iden- tical conveying volume to be output at the opposite outputs, the headless set screw must close the connecting passage of the two outputs.
SERVICE MANUAL Automatic lubrication system Memolub PLCD (24 V DC) Design, function 2.3.2.2 Output closed The connecting passage between opposite outputs is closed with a headless set screw ex works. In some cases, outputs on the progressive distributor may be closed. The headless set screw must then be removed. As a result, the piston conveys twice the volume to the open output.

SERVICE MANUAL Automatic lubrication system Memolub PLCD (24 V DC) Commissioning Commissioning Connecting PLCD Connect the automatic lubrication system as follows. The interface electronics of Memolub reacts very sensitively to low voltage levels. The low voltage levels can be caused by the semiconductor electronics of output boards.
SERVICE MANUAL Automatic lubrication system Memolub Commissioning PLCD (24 V DC) Programming 3.2.1 Signal waveform over time The signal waveform over time for the motor (output) and encoder (feed- back) is as follows. The encoder reports a complete pass through the progressive distributor, with two edge changes.
