The Basic 32-D has been designed for central material con-veying applications.

Loader-pump assignments are completely flexible. Individualvacuum receivers can be assigned to any one of the eightloading systems. Each receiver can be configured for one ofthe following:l Single-material loading.l Ratio loading, with or without automatic material layering.l Positive (air-operated) receiver discharge.l Material line purging.l Loader fill alarm to work with an optional fill sensor

mounted in the receiver body or direct feed chamber.l Hopper fill alarm to work with a demand sensor mounted

in a drying hopper or other material vessel.l No alarm.

The B32-D provides I/O electronics near each loader in thesystem, then connects all the I/O modules with simple flatmedia cable. The B32-D main control box contains only theoperator interface station plus a control processor and an inter-face to the I/O network. This control system configurationgreatly simplifies installation, reducing labor and wire costsand allows system expansion by simply adding more I/O mod-ules.

The B32-D is designed to control up to 48 loaders and 8 vacu-um pumps with 1 standby pump. In its current configuration ithas all the options of the B32-D except proofing and a remoteterminal (both of these options may be added in the future).Both 6” and 10” color touchscreens are available.

The B32-D system uses Allen Bradley ArmorBlock I/O mod-ules for loaders and pumps. The modules are clamped ontoKwik-Link flat DeviceNet cable. The DeviceNet flat cables(one for solenoid power, one for electronics/communications)are typically run around the plant in one continuous routing.

what Is theb32-d?

UGC010/1202 Basic 32 Distributed Loader Control descrIptIon 2-3

how It worksThe B32-D communicates with each pump, vacuum receiverand material valve wired to ArmorBlock modules within thedevicenet network. The B32-D controls conveying operationbased on settings the operator enters on the HMI.

When receivers in a pump system demand material, the B32-D turns on the vacuum pump and dust collector in the appro-priate pump system. It then opens the correct vacuum andmaterial valves to convey material to satisfy the demand.

The overview screen lets the operator monitor the status of allvacuum receivers at a glance. Icons indicate the real-time sta-tus of each receiver.

Other screens allow you to change system settings or to viewpump systems, loader details, alarm histories.

Install the power supply units along the DeviceNet cable so that the power from the units will beevenly distributed along the cable. For example if thereare ten loaders evenly spaced along a 75 meter cable, thepower supply should be placed in the center of the cablewith five loaders on oneside and five on theother. If nine of the load-ers were on one end andthe tenth loader on theother end, the powersupply should probablybe placed somewhere inthe middle of the nineloaders on the one end.Half of the current from the power supply will flow onedirection down the auxiliary power cable and half of thecurrent will flow the other direction. If there are questionsrefer to your Allen-Bradley DeviceNet Cable SystemPlanning and Installation Manual (Cat. No. DN-6.7.2), orcontact your Conair Representative. Install the powersupply units within 25 feet of the DeviceNet cable.

The B32-D controller uses the A-B 1769 SDN deviceNetscanner to communicate with the ArmorBlock I/O. To com-municate witht he I/O the switch setting on the module mustbe set and the corresponding nide on the operator interfacemust be activated. Nodes not active and on the system displayon the status screen as I. All changes are committed to non-volatile memory after exiting the screen.

The indicators showing slave status and scan status display onthe status screen. Under normal running conditions hte scan-ner shows a status of 0000 for the slave and scanner (with thescanner running).


wIrIng pocketconVeYIngValVes(optIonal)

The B32-D can operate up to 32 pocket conveying valves,which are used in central drying and distribution systems. Thepocket valve allows multiple loaders to draw dry material asneeded from a single drying hopper. Since the valves arelocated at the material source instead of the loader, separatewiring connections to the nearest loader universal terminalbox (UTB)B32-D are required.

The B32-D base unit and power supply are equipped with athree-prong plugs and power cords.

Plug the power cords into grounded 115 VACoutlets rated for at least 15 Amp service.

Make sure the base unit is grounded.

NOTE: Purge valves and pocket conveying valves connect to the same outputs on the B32-D control.Therefore, pocket conveying valves cannot be usedwith loaders that are connected to purge valves.

connectIng toMaIn power

warnIng: electrical shock hazardFailure to provide proper grounding can causecontrol malfunctions and could result in personalinjury from electrical shock.

The control must be connected to a groundedpower source. A properly sized conductive groundwire must be connected to the chassis groundterminal inside the base unit enclosure.

startIng upthe b32-d

Once the system is completely assembledcheck that all connections are terminated correctly.

Turn on the power supply unit and test to make sure that power is correctly distributed. It is recom-mended that you remove the ArmorBlock that is locatedfarthest from the power supply and, using a voltmeter,check to insure that both the DeviceNet and Auxiliarypower is 24 VDC.

Once the power supply unit is turned on, check each ArmorBlock to insure that the AuxiliaryPower LED is on and glowing green. If not, theArmorBlock base is not clamped correctly and will needto be removed, discarded, and a new base installed. Installthe new base so that the piercing contacts enter the flatcable at a different location than the incorrectly mountedbase. It is also possible that the ArmorBlock may be bad.In this case, a known good ArmorBlock should be tem-porarily fitted to the base to check if the ArmorBlockmodule may be bad.
