Nr—Channel (valve) number. A maximum of 8 channels (valves) are
seen on two display screens.
Type

Type
Type
Type—Valve type. This field contains the code number corresponding
to the specific valve. Each valve type includes preset Ton and
Toff values (see the chart on the following page).
Ton
Ton
Ton
Ton
Ton—Valve-specific turn-on reaction time (turn-on compensation
time). Compensation times of 0.1 to 25 milliseconds can be
entered.
Toff
Toff
Toff
Toff
Toff—Valve-specific turn-off reaction time (turn-off compensation
time). Compensation times of 0.1 to 25 milliseconds can be
entered.
Tmin
Tmin
Tmin
Tmin
Tmin—The minimum valve-specific time that is necessary for the valve
to open. Minimum duration that the valve will be forced to stay
open. This function is used if the combination of Ton and Toff
times produce glue patterns that are too short. The Tmin time
allows the valve to stay open for a minimum period of time (0.1-
25 milliseconds). This function may override the Toff time.
CF
CF
CF
CF
CF—Correction factor. This function adapts individual valves to
variations in parent machine speed (50-150%). The correction
factor can be used where valves are placed on a section of the
parent machine which experiences variations in web speed. The
correction factor can also be used to adjust the placement of the
glue pattern. (See “Operation.”)
This factor is for valve timing correction.
Do not use this factor as a general ratio
compensation. See “Encoder
configuration” in this section for
information about a general ratio
compensation.
Vmin
Vmin
Vmin
Vmin
Vmin—Parent machine threshold speed. Gluing will begin above this
speed and stop when the parent machine is operated below this
speed. The manual valve function (MAN test function) is not
affected by Vmin. Separate Vmin speeds can be set for each
valve.
