DISPENSING:
COMPONENT SETTINGS, OPERATE DEVICES, TIMED DISPENSE, and RATE
CALIBRATION are displayed when the respective keys are pressed from the manual or
program modes. These displays are followed by pressing a device key; 1 through 9, A,
B, C, DUMP, ALARM, MIX, or HOLD. The word FLASHING on the display means that
retries are occurring because the first dispense was not enough. Other error conditions
also cause flashing. FIRMWARE and Checksum messages indicate the condition of
controllers program and memory. See KEYPAD, *25, for explanation.
THUMBWHEEL SWITCHES
The three sets of digital display switches have no effect unless they are assigned to a particular
output device. Entry of all SETTINGS is done by using the KEYPAD. However, if you prefer,
you may assign up to three components to the Thumbwheel switches and then use these
switches to set and alter their settings. Since only three switch sets are available, only 3
components can be controlled in this manner. All others must use the keypad. See Assigning
Thumbwheels on page Error! Bookmark not defined. for more information on how to do this.
When settings are sent to a mechanical thumbwheel equipped
controller using the Set Settings MLAN command (such as when using
the G2 Software), the assigned thumbwheels are disabled and the
settings are set using the internally stored settings.
When settings are sent to a digital thumbwheel equipped controller
using the Set Settings MLAN command, the assigned thumbwheels
are updated along with the internally stored settings.
DIGITAL THUMBWHEEL SWITCHES
Digital thumbwheels operate the same as the mechanical thumbwheels however the
digital thumbwheel displays will reflect the current setting of assigned components
even if the setting is updated via MLAN communications. Changing the digital
thumbwheel display will update the internally stored setting of that component. To
display but lock out the assigned digital thumbwheels, see the _SE parameter.
ALL AIR SOLENOID outputs
There is a single 17 pin Amphenol plug located on the front of the control panel. This provides
output of all 24 volt signals to drive the air solenoids. These power sources are transistor driven
and are protected by the 1/2 amp panel fuse. See the wiring diagram section for the correct
wiring to each pin.
POWER ON switch
Controls all power to the controller and all outputs. When power is switched off, battery backed-
up RAM preserves all internal totals and parameters. All other functions are reset for normal
start-up when power is restored.
This is displayed while material is being dispensed. The
display will also show the accumulated total in grams per
batch (upper right), the material Type (REG=REGRIND,
NAT=NATURAL, ADD=ADDITIVE, COL=COLOR), and the
component (hopper) number (far lower right). See example
