Inputs
The ProMix PD3K+ Network Inputs are Write-Read capable, but should be treated as outputs from a PLC or other
networking device. These registers allow the user to control system operation and configure system settings remotely.
Invalid values (i.e. out of bounds or not consistent with system configuration) will be ignored by the ProMix PD3K+.
All values must be written as integers. Floating point numbers are not supported.
Do not rely on these registers for Read status, other than to confirm data that has been written and accepted.
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: The PD3K+ system does not refresh the values for these registers. At power up all input registers initialize
to invalid values.

initiate a particular operation. Some operation modes may be initiated only under certain conditions (see Figures
5 – 9 for details).

1
Power Pumps
The system powers on or powers off the pumps.

Remote Stop
The system stops all current operations and turns off power to the
pumps.

Recipe Change
The system initiates a recipe change. (See also Register 2.)
4
Mix Fill
The system fills the mix manifold(s) and gun with material at ratio for
a valid recipe.
5
Mix
The system initiates a mix/spray cycle.
6
Purge A
The system purges only Material A out through the gun.
7
Purge B
The system purges only Material B out through the gun.
8
Purge C
The system purges only Material C out through the gun.
9
Purge D
The system purges only Material D out through the gun.
10
Standby
The system puts all active pumps into Standby mode.
11
Recipe Purge
The system automatically determines the purge sequence required
based on the loaded recipe.
12
Solvent Purge
The system initiates the solvent push sequence while mixing/spraying.

Alarm/Deviation
The Clear Active Alarm register is used to
acknowledge an alarm remotely so that the system
may resume operation. Be sure that the alarm
condition has been alleviated. Write a 1 to this
register to acknowledge the latest active alarm. If
more than one alarm is currently active only the most
recent alarm will be acknowledged. A repeated write
should be performed to clear any remaining active
alarms. See figure 9.
(See
for more information
on clearing alarms.)
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE: This register is not polled by the ProMix
PD3K+. An alarm is cleared only when a value of ‘1’
is written to this register. It is recommended that the
automation reset this register by writing a 0 to it at all
other times to avoid inadvertently clearing an alarm.*

The Go to Recipe Number register is used as a
queue for the next recipe to be loaded when a recipe
change is initiated. A number between 0 and 40 can
be written to this register. However, a recipe must be
enabled via the ADM before it can be loaded. See

NOTE: Writing to this register does not trigger a recipe
