In all cases, comply with specific safety and accident prevention rules for the installation in question. GENERAL DESCRIPTION CFV and CFF series controllers are designed and built to control electromagnetic vibrators for use in industrial automation. These devices are controlled by a sophisticated electronic microprocessor circuit that manages all vibrator control and checking procedures.
CFF SERIES: The CFF (Fixed Frequency Controller) is the standard instrument for vibrator control. The controller operates at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The CFF15A circuit is calibrated for a maximum of 6 A (RMS) in the CFF6A version and a maximum of 15 A (RMS) in the CFF15A version.
203.7 CFV12A 203.7 CFF10 400V 203,7 Table 03 MACHINE IDENTIFICATION PLATE The plate on each box identifies the controller in use. The plate shows the name of the controller. N.B. Provide such data when contacting Brovind Customer Service. Fig. 02...
INSPECTION After the boards are assembled and soldered, each board is inspected to check all operating parameters and all technical specifications. INSTALLATION The user must be extremely careful when installing the controller. The procedure is described step by step: 1) If necessary, attach the device to a support bracket as shown in Fig. 01. and Table 03. 2) Open the controller by unscrewing the two screws marked with a circle as shown in Fig.

DISPLAY BOARD The display mounted on each controller is an electronic board with a microprocessor which is powered by the main board and communicates with it. It also manages the keyboard and the 5 7-segment LED displays. Obviously, some letters may be difficult to read due to the 7-segment LED displays. Use the following table to interpret them correctly: LETTER 7-SEGMENT...
CONTROLLING THE VIBRATOR WITH A REMOTE POTENTIOMETER Vibrator speed can be controlled by a remote potentiometer. The potentiometer must be linear, 10 Kohm, 1 rpm or 10 rpm, and is connected to the 0-10 V terminals. Refer to the “CONNECTION DIAGRAM” on pages 9,10 and 11. The connection diagram is shown below: 0-10 V + OUT...
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS: BALANCE FUNCTION. Function 3 Menu 15 The Balance Function is an application that is particularly useful for automatic weighing systems in which the material to be weighed is conveyed by electromagnetic vibrators. In this case, Brovind controllers have a specific weight management function.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS: ELEVATOR UNIT. Function 4 Menu 15 (DCFF ONLY) The elevator function can be used only with a DCFF double board. It is a function programmed to be used when there are two vibrators, a pneumatic elevator, an over full sensor and an empty sensor (or an additional monostable solenoid valve).
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS: DISCHARGE UNIT. Function 5 Menu 15 (DCFF ONLY) The discharge unit function can only be used with a DCFF double board. This function controls a cylinder with a bistable solenoid valve. For additional information on its use, contact the Supplier.
PROGRAMMING BOOLEAN FUNCTIONS (See Menus 45, 46, 47) Brovind controllers can be used to program logic functions which control the board inputs (sensors) and outputs (actuators). Fig. 13 For example: EXAMPLE: The resources available for the program generation are (the ones with “*” only from the ver. 4.00 onwards): Max.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS AND MENU All functions and controls on Brovind controllers are set by means of a 3-button keyboard found on the controller box. With the + and – keys, go to the menu you want and press the PR (program) key to enter the menu.
MENU 2 CHANGING VIBRATION AMPLITUDE CFF DCFF CFV This menu allows you to vary the required acceleration or power supply to the vibrator according to the modes selected in Menu 1. If we have selected in Menu 1: Tracking Mode (Mod.1) with SRV02 probe: The parameter is “A0” and it is the acceleration the vibrator requires expressed in g (g = 9,8 m/s²).
N.B. If C2=1 the frequency cannot be changed on Menu 3. MENU 5 INTEGRATOR GAIN CFF DCFF CFV When you are in Tracking mode (Menu 1 Mode 1), the gain is the speed with which the vibrator reaches the value set by the user. Settable values are: 1, 2, 4, 8.
SOFTWARE FILTER: When you enter the Menu the letters FLT will appear. When you set 1, a filter is inserted on the values read by the SRV02 probe. The effects of accidental knocks or bumps on the vibrator which can distort the signal detected by the probe are therefore disregarded. MENU 11 PRE-SET ACCELERATION VALUE 1A CFF DCFF CFV Menu for saving an A0 value to be used by connecting the device in a vibrobus network (see Master manual)

Now return to the menu 3 to set the correct frequency and proceed as necessary. For best use of the vibrator with the CFV controller, and for totally automatic control of acceleration- frequency, it is good practice to run a calibration every time you connect the controller to a new vibrator. Calibration is efficient only if the SRV02 probe is also inserted in the system.
3) On Menu 1, set MOD = 0 (Variation Mode). 4) On Menu 3, use the "+" and "-" keys to set the approximate frequency of the vibrator in question. (If you do not know the approximate frequency, call your supplier.) 5) On Menu 2, raise parameter VI until you reach maximum value for optimal performance, i.e., until there is no knocking on the vibrator.
If you set LT2=1 on DCFF1, each time DCFF2 stops then DCFF1 also stops. If you set LT1=1 on DCFF2, each time DCFF1 stops then DCFF2 also stops. If you set ST2=1 on DCFF1, DCFF1 is amplitude synchronized (it uses the same A0) with DCFF2. If you set ST1=1 on DCFF2, DCFF2 is amplitude synchronized (it uses the same A0) with DCFF1.
MENU 26 PIECES-COUNTER FUNCTION – DISPLAY CFF DCFF CFV This menu displays the value of the pieces-counters during operating. Enter menu 26 by pressing the PR key. (counter value) will appear. If you press PR once more is displayed. The number that appears is the value of the totalizer. This keeps count of the number of times that the counter has reached the set threshold (max.
MENU 30 RESUME FACTORY-SET PARAMETERS – DEFAULT – CFF DCFF CFV Enter function 1 on Menu 30 to reset the inspection configuration that the controller had at the time of purchase. This must be done only when you want to reset the factory-set parameters. MENÙ...
(< 140 Hz) HF mode: The current wave form is sinusoidal and is generated by high frequency commands. Values are: 15.6 KHz, 12.5 KHz, 10.0 KHz ATTENTION: Before effecting any changes on this Menu please contact the Supplier. MENU 37 “Vi” SETTING FOR THE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE CFF DCFF Menu absent on these controllers.
This menu manages the communication parameters of the controller with a PC or a PLC. The communication protocol can be ASCII (proprietary protocol Brovind) or Modbus RTU. Access the menu and with buttons "+" and "-" select one of the available options: , , , .
MENU 59 BOOTLOADER ENABLE FOR FIRMWARE UPDATING CFF DCFF1 CFV This Menu allows you to update the microcontroller firmware: to make it you must have a dedicate software. For further information contact Brovind Elettronica company. MENU 60 BOARD SOFTWARE VERSIONS CFF DCFF CFV This Menu displays some of the inspection parameters.
Brovind controllers can be network-managed by means of an RS-485 bus. This management can be made by a PLC (with free protocol serial port) or a Personal Computer. At your request, Brovind Elettronica provides you with the communication protocol for the communication with PLC or PC.
