DISPENSING: 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
below:
1880.2 g
DISPENSING: ADD (4)
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
(mechanical, pre 1
st
quarter 2012)
The three sets of THUMBWHEEL switches (or digital displays) 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 33 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 (Standard first quarter of 2012)
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.
Digital Thumbwheel Brightness Adjustment
– To change the brightness of the
digital thumbwheels, on power up, press and hold the Additive
’s down button. The
displays will read the current firmware of the thumbwheels and then display
brt
(bright) and a value from 1-226 (default is 100). Press the Additive UP or DOWN to
adjust the brightness. Press the UP button of the Regrind to exit and save.
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.
