The Gun Trigger State register is used to signal the
ProMix PD3K+ when an automatic spray device is
triggered. This signal should be sent any time the
spray device is triggered. The state of this register
provides timing for alarm functions and also drives
the flow control algorithm.
The register is formatted as a bit vector with bits 0,
1, and 2 representing gun trigger inputs 1, 2, and 3,
respectively.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: If enabled, it is imperative that this signal be
sent any time the spray device is triggered. Without
it, the flow control features will not work.
• Write a value of ‘1’ to bit 0, 1, or 2 to signal gun 1,
2, or 3 is triggered, respectively.
• Write a value of ‘0’ to bit 0, 1, or 2 to signal gun 1,
2, or 3 is NOT triggered, respectively.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: This register is used only if the Gun Trigger
is set to ‘Network’ via System Screen 6 on the ADM.
If it is set to ‘Discrete’ this register is ignored and
gun trigger is handled via the discrete input. See
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: Because timing is so critical for flow control,
Graco recommends that users provide a discrete
input to minimize latency effects.
