Abstract
A method for testing the functionality of a vibrating conveyor (1) by condition analysis performed either before or during operation of the vibrating conveyor (1), the method to be performed before operation includes the following steps: A1) applying a drive pulse to a drive unit (2); A2) detecting a pulse response generated by the vibrating conveyor (1); A3) transferring the detected pulse response to a computer (6) by a signal evaluation unit (5); A4) comparing the detected pulse response with a reference pulse response by the computer (6); A5) using the computer (6) to: a) reduce the vibration of the vibrating conveyor (1); a) determining whether a start-up procedure for operation with a reduced start-up drive power should be activated, or b) whether a start-up procedure for operation with an unreduced start-up drive power of the vibratory conveyor device (1) should be activated, or c) whether operation should be aborted; and B) a method to be performed during operation includes the following steps: B1) detecting by a signal evaluation unit (5) the voltage amplitude, frequency, acceleration, and temperature generated by the vibratory conveyor device (1) when the vibratory conveyor device (1) is operating; B2) transferring the detected voltage amplitude, frequency, acceleration, and temperature to a computer (6) by the signal evaluation unit (5).
