System Setup for Automatic
Operation
Configuration of the options for ProControl 1KS Auto-
matic operation is done through a few setup screens.
Several utility screens are also available for debug and
verification.
First, set the ProControl 1KS to Automatic mode:
F . 60. Configure Screen 3
IG
If Flow Control is used, then turn it on. There are two
activation options: "On", and "On: Setup". The only dif-
ference is that "On: Setup" allows the display of the
"Flow Control Tuning" screen.
F . 61. Configure Screen 5
IG
Several control interface options are available when
using Automatic mode.
3A1080H
F . 62. Configure Screen 6
IG
Flow Set Source
This appears only if Flow Control is turned on. Select
"Discrete" or "Network".
In Discrete mode control is driven through the analog
voltage input. In Network mode control is driven through
a Modbus register.
Proportioning
Select "Discrete" or "Network".
In Discrete mode control is driven through the Discrete
I/O board. In Network mode control is driven through a
Modbus register.
NOTE: It is not possible to read back the active recipe
number using the Discrete I/O interface.
Gun 1 Trigger
Select "Discrete", "Network", or "AFS 1".
In Discrete mode the gun trigger control is read by an
EasyKey digital input and sent to the Fluid Panel. In Net-
work mode it is written to the EasyKey over the Modbus
interface. In AFS 1 mode it is applied to the Fluid Panel
in the Hazardous location.
NOTE: Discrete I/O is recommended. It is easy to con-
nect in the normal location to the PLC. AFS 1 mode is
used for special cases where the gun trigger timing is
critical.
NOTE: Network gun trigger with Flow Control has a long
time delay through the PLC to ProControl communica-
tions structure. This will negatively affect Flow Control
operation.
