Configuring the Auto-Zero Function
See Figure 3-9. This function is only available to Nordson CSRs. It allows
you to tune out a valid signal from Zone 1, such as when you want to ignore
part carriers or hangers. This function is not the same as the noise filtering
setting explained in Section 4, Analog Scanner Configuration .
Start the conveyor and move the part carrier or hanger in front of the
scanner, then touch the Auto-Zero button. When the timer reaches zero an
offset value is set that ignores the signal in Zone 1.
Using Zone Inputs for Direct Triggering
The zone inputs can also be configured so that an external controller can be
connected to the inputs to trigger the spray guns immediately upon the
change in state of a bit or series of bits. In this mode, the iControl console
acts like a simple gun control console without the need for a conveyor
encoder or zone photoeyes or scanners.
To switch to this mode, select the DIR option on the Zone/Part ID
Configuration screen. Refer to the Installation section of your iControl
hardware manual for the I/O board inputs.
Figure 3-10 Direct Triggering Configuration
When Direct Triggering is selected, zone inputs 1 − 8 on the I/O board trigger
guns 1 − 8 when activated. Guns 9 − 16, 17 − 24, and 25 − 32 are triggered
through these same inputs along with signals on inputs 17 and 18, as
follows:
Input 17 Input 18 Guns
0 0 1 − 8
1 0 9 − 16
0 1 17 − 24
1 1 25 − 32
Input 19 functions as the input strobe, or enable input. When input 19 is
turned on the active inputs between 1 and 8 trigger the appropriate gun.
When the strobe is removed the guns remain triggered on. Turning the
strobe back on will turn the guns off.
