  • Page 264 A signal generated by the parent machine (voltage, current or frequency) to control the melter. Line Voltage Voltage in the customer's network. It may need to be converted to operating voltage by a transformer. VersaBlue_PPA E 2014 Nordson Corporation P/N 213828_11...
  • Page 265 D‐9 Glossary Machine Enable A control unit is enabled by a signal from the parent machine. In Nordson literature the enable feature is also referred to as Parent Machine Interlock or Security. Master‐Slave The setup of two or more units in which one assumes control of one or more slaves.
  • Page 266 The material volume fed by the pump. Stated e.g. in cm /min. Pascal, SI unit for pressure. Refer to Conversions. Parameters Variably adjusted values that must be entered into a control unit, a PLC control or the control system. VersaBlue_PPA E 2014 Nordson Corporation P/N 213828_11...
  • Page 267 Programmable Logic Controller. Polyamide A term used by Nordson to describe polyamide‐based hot melt adhesives. Other common designations are polyamide resin and polyamide hot melt adhesive. Polyurethane Hot Melt Adhesive Moisture interlaced hot melt adhesive.
  • Page 268 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS ) PROFIBUS Internationally standardized serial field bus with master‐slave subscribers. Nordson melters (slave) with a PROFIBUS DP interface can be controlled remotely by one of the customer's control units (master). Proper Disposal Disposal of all types of waste in compliance with all local regulations.
  • Page 269 Resistance Temperature Sensor Component with an electrical resistance, the value of which changes as a factor of the temperature. Nordson units use the models Pt 100 and Ni 120. Reverse Mode A pump motor operates counter to the direction of material feeding. Prevents material from dripping.
  • Page 270 The difference between the temperatures at which the unit switches on and off is called hysteresis. Transformer Voltage converter. Used in Nordson units to convert the customer's line voltage to the operating voltage. VersaBlue_PPA E 2014 Nordson Corporation...
  • Page 271 Strength; an indication of the force that must be generated to move a liquid: 1. Viscosity (also called dynamic viscosity). Unit: Pas (Refer to Conversions). 2. Kinematic viscosity (dynamic viscosity divided by material density). Unit: m /s (Refer to Conversions). VersaBlue_PPA P/N 213828_11 E 2014 Nordson Corporation...
