Glossary of Terms
Advanced Web Interface (AWI)
- This allows remote
ProMix backup and restore, configuration, logging, and
software update options.
Air Chop
- the process of mixing air and solvent
together during the flush cycle to help clean the lines
and reduce solvent usage.
Air Chop Time
- duration of each activation of the air
purge valve during a chop sequence. User settable from
0.0-99.9 seconds.
Analog
- relating to, or being a device in which data are
represented by continuously variable, measurable,
physical quantities, such as length, width, voltage, or
pressure.
B Purge After Chop
- Optional 2-second B solvent
valve activation after the Chop sequence. This is used
to separate the chop material and the Final Purge mate-
rial to prevent unwanted mixing.
Basic Web Interface (BWI)
- This allows remote Pro-
Mix backup and restore, logging, and software update
options.
Bootloader
- The utility program that handles initial sys-
tem startup re-programming of the main ProMix applica-
tion.
Chop Time
- refers to the total length of the chop
sequence during a purge. User settable from 0-999 sec-
onds.
Closed Loop Flow Control
- refers to the process
when the flow rate is adjusted automatically to maintain
a constant flow.
Color/Catalyst Purge
- refers to the time required to
flush the lines from the color or catalyst change module
to the mix manifold during a color or catalyst change.
Color/Catalyst Fill
- refers to the time required to fill the
lines from the color or catalyst change module to the mix
manifold.
Command Holdoff
- The amount of time that flow rate
learning is not allowed after the set point is changed to
allow the flow rate to stabilize.
Coriolis Meter
- a non-intrusive flow meter often used in
low flow applications or with light viscosity, shear sensi-
tive, or acid catalyzed materials. This meter uses vibra-
tion to measure flow.
Custom Language
- A method to load a translation file
into the ProMix to display languages other than those
built into the system. Only Unicode characters through
codespace 0x00FF are supported.
Digital Input and Output
- a description of data which
is transmitted as a sequence of discrete symbols, most
commonly this means binary data represented using
electronic or electromagnetic signals.
Discrete I/O
- refers to data that constitutes a separate
entity and has direct communication to another control.
Dose Size
- the amount of resin (A) and catalyst (B) that
is dispensed into an integrator.
Dose Time Alarm
- the amount of time that is allowed
for a dose to occur before an alarm occurs. More than
30 pulses from the flow meter of the active dose valve
are needed while the Gun Trigger is on to prevent the
alarm.
Dynamic Dosing
- Component A dispenses constantly.
Component B dispenses intermittently in the necessary
volume to attain the mix ratio.
Ethernet
- a method for directly connecting a computer
to a network or equipment in the same physical location.
ExtSP
- External Set Point selection for PLC input of the
flow rate set point while operating in Flow Control Over-
ride mode.
Fiber Optic Communication
- the use of light to trans-
mit communication signals. Blue is the transmitter, and
black is the receiver. This must be cross-connected
between the EasyKey and the Fluid Panel for communi-
cation to work. The Fiber Optic cable has a blue band to
indicate the proper connection.
Final Purge Source
- source of the media used in the
final purge cycle. User settable to air purge valve, sol-
vent purge valve, or 3rd purge valve.
Final Purge Time
- duration of the final purge cycle.
User settable from 0-999 seconds.
