Description
A 2-12
Part 331235C
E 2003 Nordson Corporation
Part A: System Overview
Optional Equipment
NOTE: The Sure Coat modular gun control system is custom-configured
per customer specifications. This manual contains information about the
specific components of your configuration. Contact your Nordson
representative for additional information.
Gun Purge Module
The gun purge module purges the powder paths of all guns in the system
and prevents powder buildup within the guns.
Automated Triggering Controls
Controller Description
Sure Coat
Application Controller
The application controller fully automates the modular gun control system. It
provides automatic triggering and control information for all guns in the
system. The application controller identifies part styles on the conveyor and
automatically selects the appropriate electrostatic characteristics based on
user-programmed set points.
NOTE: The application controller must be used with the UCS DeviceNet
interface card.
Sure Coat
Triggering Controller
The triggering controller allows automatic gun triggering but does not identify
part styles. The triggering controller may be used with either a purge timer
interface card (for triggering guns in groups) or discrete I/O interface card (for
triggering guns individually).
Interface Cards
Interface Card Description
Purge Timer The purge timer interface card allows the modular gun control system to
interface with the optional gun purge module. The purge timer interface card
also allows gun triggering in groups using either sinking current or relay
switches. Triggering must be done using an optional triggering controller.
When used with the triggering controller, the purge timer interface card allows
gun triggering in groups.
Discrete I/O The discrete I/O interface card allows the modular gun control system to
interface with a high-end, optional PLC and the gun module. The discrete I/O
interface card allows individual gun triggering, purge, and set point adjustment
through a PLC.
When used with the triggering controller, the discrete I/O interface card allows
individual gun triggering.
DeviceNet The UCS DeviceNet interface card is used with either the Sure Coat
application controller or an optional PLC with a DeviceNet interface. It allows
the modular gun control system to interface with the gun purge module.
ProfiBus The UCS ProfiBus interface card is used with a high-end, optional PLC with a
ProfiBus interface. It allows the modular gun control system to interface with
the gun purge module.
