Description
AI MODE
OFF, TIME, COUNT, SEQ
OFF: The Auto Increment Mode is turned off.
TIME: The controller automatically adjusts settings to compensate for
viscosity changes by moving to the next memory cell based on the
number of seconds that have elapsed.
COUNT: The controller automatically adjusts settings to compensate
for viscosity changes by moving to the next memory cell based on the
number of dispensing cycles.
SEQ (Auto Sequence): Similar to the COUNT mode except that the
memory cell address automatically resets and continues from the start
once the end is reached.
NOTE:
When the Auto Increment Mode is set to TIME, COUNT, or
SEQ, the following parameters are enabled on the MAIN screen: STRT,
END, TRIG, and CNT.
STRT
00–99
The memory cell at which the Auto Increment Mode will start.
END
00–99
The memory cell at which the Auto Increment Mode will stop.
TRIG
1–9999
The number of dispensing cycles or the time that must pass before a
memory cell increases to the next address. Each memory cell has its
own trigger value. Therefore, as the memory cell address increases, a
new trigger value is loaded for that memory cell. Any changes made to
the trigger value in a specific memory cell will automatically save the
trigger value to that memory cell.
CNT
—
The controller has two methods of incrementing the CNT parameter.
When the AI MODE is set to TIME, CNT increases by one every
second. When the AI MODE is set to COUNT or SEQ, CNT increments
by one for every initiate signal on the selected channel (refer to AI
SYNC). When CNT equals the value entered for TRIG, the MEM cell
address advances by one and CNT resets to 0000.
RESET
—
Clears an AI alarm. Refer to “Clearing Alarms.”
AI SYNC
CH1, CH2
If AI MODE is set to COUNT, use AI SYNC to sync the Auto Increment
Mode to channel 1 (CH1) or channel 2 (CH2). Sync has no effect if AI
MODE is set to TIME.
Example:
Set AI SYNC to CH2 if you want to tie the Auto Increment
Mode to the number of shots dispensed from Driver 2 instead of
Driver 1.
