SmartTrigger™ Digital Power-Tracking Controller

SmartTrigger™ - Overview

The SmartTrigger™ by TS Engineering is an intelligent controller for electromagnetically driven vibratory feeder systems. Unlike traditional SCR – or triac-based controllers, the SmartTrigger™ features an on-board computer that continuously monitors line voltage fluctuations, instantly altering the trigger timing of the output to compensate. The result is superior stability and control of feeder motion, particularly in areas where line voltage levels tend to vary greatly due to the operation of heavy machinery.

SmartTrigger™ Features:

  • Range of selectable output frequencies (30, 40, 60 and 120 Hz on a 60 Hz source line) covers most standard feeders.
  • Two modes of switching Operate/Hold states, one with selectable timer delays for flexibility in both feeder and hopper installations.
  • Operational status out signal for interlocking/slaving multiple units.
  • Operator-selectable output phase to balance line utilization.

SmartTrigger™ Benefits:

  • Vibration intensity is maintained over a wide range of line voltage levels.
  • TTL-level in and out signal connections enable multiple units to be interlocked for a unified in-line operation.
  • High current capability (15 Amps) to drive even very large feeders.

SmartTrigger™ Flexibility:

  • Easy interfacing to a photocell or proximity switch.
  • Adjustable full-scale vibration intensity to prevent accidental overdriving of smaller equipment.
  • Also available without enclosure for OEM panel mount applications.
  • CE version available.

SimpleTrigger 700 - Basic vibratory control with intelligent line fluctuation compensation. This control is an excellent low-cost solution ideally suited for inline linear feeders and storage hoppers. This control family is typically used on loads that run continuously, but can be demand cycled by a PLC machine control or parts sensor, which has its own built-in time delays and power supply.
SmartTrigger 1400 - The ST-1400 Series of Controls are used to operate vibratory bowls with part sensing, and storage hoppers fitted with electronic bowl level detectors. The demand cycling of the bowl or hopper is controlled by an external input signal processed through the Remote Hold and time delay settings of the unit if selected. The units are operational in both Open Loop and Closed Loop (sensor option) mode.
SmartTrigger 1900 - The ST-1900 Series of Controls are used to operate vibratory bowls with part sensing, and storage hoppers fitted with electronic bowl level detectors. The 10 to 24 Vdc adjustable power supply and sensor time delays are provided by the control. The demand cycling of the bowl or hopper is controlled by the sensor’s output signal processed through the time delay settings of the unit if selected. The units are operational in both Open Loop and Closed Loop (sensor option) mode.
Dual Units - Dual units are customized with any combination of 700, 1400 or 1900 circuit sections. These sections may be internally interlocked using the operate/hold inputs and outputs on these units. A typical application is to run a feeder bowl and an inline tray. One or two motion sensor kits may be purchased with this unit. Dual units must be either 120 VAC or 240 VAC, but cannot contain both a 120 VAC and a 240 VAC section.
Triple Units - Triple units are customized with any combination of 700, 1400 or 1900 circuit sections. These sections may be internally interlocked using the operate/hold inputs and outputs on these units. A typical application is to run a feeder bowl, an inline tray, and a hopper. One, two or three motion sensor kits may be purchased with this unit. Triple units must be either 120 VAC or 240 VAC, but cannot contain both a 120 VAC and a 240 VAC section.
