1 Introduction
The AMCOL 6000E Series Precision
Applicator is available with a two-
solenoid valve configuration where
Dispersing Air Pressure is controlled
separately from the Injection Pulse Rate.
This configuration is an alternative to the
more commonly used single solenoid
valve systems where injection rate is
controlled with an integral air timer (also
known as a Pulse Frequency Generator).
The concept and option for electronic
control of injection rate is not new, but is
quickly gaining popularity. By replacing
the air operated timer with electronic
control of injection rate, the result is
precise, repeatable, and easily
adjustable lubricant output volumes.
In many situations, the electronic control
of pulse rate comes from the machine PLC. Reprogramming a PLC and installing
additional hard wiring for the two-solenoid configuration is not always easy or
efficient. To solve this problem, AMCOL has created a simple package to
control a dual solenoid 6000E system with a single PLC output.
