First Purge Source
- source of the media used in the
first purge cycle. User settable to air purge valve, sol-
vent purge valve, or 3rd purge valve
First Purge Time
- duration of the first purge cycle. User
settable from 0-999 seconds.
Flow Control Resolution
- a settable value that allows
the flow control system to maximize its performance.
The value is based on maximum desired flow rates.
Flow Rate Analog Signal
- the type of communication
signal that can be used on the ProControl module.
Flow Rate Tolerance
- the settable percent of accept-
able variance that the system will allow before a flow
rate warning occurs.
Flow Set Point
- a predefined flow rate target.
Flush Volume Check
- system monitors flush volume.
E-11 Alarm occurs if minimum volume is not achieved.
Minimum flush volume is user settable (0-999 cc).
Global
- indicates that values on the screen apply to all
recipes, 1 through 60.
Grand Total
- a non-resettable value that shows the
total amount of material dispensed through the system.
GT-Off Drive Time
- The amount of time to regulate the
fluid pressure based on the flow rate set point after the
gun trigger is closed.
GT-Off Target Rise
- The additional time to regulate the
fluid pressure based on the flow rate set point after the
gun trigger is closed.
Gun Trigger Holdoff
- The amount of time that flow rate
learning is not allowed after the gun trigger is opened to
allow the flow rate to stabilize.
Gun Trigger Input Signal
- used to manage ratio
assurance dose times and flow control processes.
Intrinsically Safe (IS)
- refers to the ability to locate cer-
tain components in a hazardous location.
Idle
- if the gun is not triggered for 2 minutes the system
enters Idle mode. Trigger the gun to resume operation.
Job Total
- a resettable value that shows the amount of
material dispensed through the system for one job. A job
is complete when a color change or complete system
flush occurs.
K-factor
- a value that refers to the amount of material
that passes through a meter. The assigned value refers
to an amount of material per pulse.
Kd
- refers to the amount the fluid flow system attempts
to not overshoot the target set point.
Ki
- refers to the degree fluid flow over shoots its set
point.
Kp
- refers to the speed in which the fluid flow reaches
its set point.
Learn Strength
- How much and how quickly to apply
the difference in the flow rate set point compared to the
measured flow rate when updating the flow control data
table.
Manual Mode
- when the proportioning or flow control
system is controlling the inputs without any input from
an outside control.
Minimum Material Fill Volume
- system monitors
material fill volume. E-21 Alarm occurs if minimum vol-
ume is not achieved. Minimum material fill volume is
user settable (0-9999 cc).
Mix
- when cross-linking of the resin (A) and catalyst (B)
occurs.
Mix Fill Push
- An option for the Autodump selection to
automatically clear the Potlife alarm if the gun is in the
Gun Flush Box by running new mixed material through
the gun.
Mix Input Signal
- refers to system mode status where
system begins a dose sequence each time the mix sig-
nal is made “High”.
Mixed Material Fill Time
- the amount of time that is
required to load mixed material from the dose valves to
the applicator/gun.
Modbus/TCP
- a type of communication protocol used
to communicate Digital I/O signals over an ethernet.
Network Station
- a means to identify a particular indi-
vidual proportioning or flow control system.
One-Point Learning
- Flow Control table calibration
method using learned points above a specified flow rate
to interpolate the table at low flow rates with short gun
trigger times.
