Description
Description Description
Contains the communications hub for the Intelligent Paint Kitchen. It must be installed
in a non-hazardous location.
The Supervisor Box facilitates communication between the Pump Control Module
(PD) in the hazardous location and the Touchscreen Box (J) or a Programmable
Logic Controller (also known as PLC). The Supervisor Box converts information from
the Graco Touchscreen Box (J) or Programmable Logic Controller into fiber optic
signals used by the system components.
One Supervisor Box can control up to 10 stations (20 if an Expansion Box is used).
Each station is connected to the Supervisor Box with a pair of optical fiber cables.
Controls the speed of an electric agitator. It must be installed in a non-hazardous
location.
One Variable Frequency Drive/Inverter is needed for each electric agitator. The
Variable Frequency Drive/Inverter communicates with the Supervisor Box (A) using a
RS-485 cable connection.
An electric circulation pump for use in the hazardous location. It can be a single or
double E-Flo DC pump.
For Intelligent Paint Kitchen communication, the pump must be an advanced
model with a Pump Control Module (PD) and communication capability required for
connection to the Supervisor Module, located in the Supervisor Box (A).
