Yes it is a Kanetic edge belt conveyor that was manufactured by Kanetic in Lake Barrington Illinois. I tried holding the reset/start button and also tried to cycle the power after after holding the reset button, No Luck.Do you know if Kanetic is sti

If this is a Kanetic edge belt conveyor that was manufactured by Kanetic in Lake Barrington Illinois then I've seen this before. The folks at Kanetic built a function into the PLC code to make the conveyor reversible without hardware modifications.

Is it possible that the conveyor controller card has the capability to switch direction with something simple like a jumper shunt?

Another question: After the conveyor starts running, when you trip the sensor at the other end, does it stop running?

If you look in the back of the panel there should be some type of VFD drive that controls the conveyor motor. You may be able to control rotation that way depending on the manufacturer. Should be able to google the VFD mfg and find a manual online,

Here's what we've done in the past. Depending on how it's configured, conveyors can run either forward or backward, but only in one direction at a time. The voltage polarity through the starter of the drive motor configures the direction. So, swappin

That's a completely different story, I was wrongly assuming that this was a new to you but "pre-owned" conveyor that wasn't set up for your process yet. It's certainly possible that the control software allows for left to right and right to left sel

Kanetic did implement a feature into their PLC code that would allow for simple reversal of the board flow. This is why the conveyor suddenly reversed direction after so many years. Because the feature was invoked by holding down a button it was kno
