INTRODUCTION
Basic terminology
Some of the terms used in the instruction manual are described below:
Channel:
pair of homologous outputs through which the activation signals
are transmitted to the applicator.
Cycle:
period of time that includes the process of applying a product or
substrate from the start to the end of it.
Input:
the connection ports on the rear panel of the controller to introduce
signals into the device, such as the photocell signal, 0-10 V, encoder, etc.
are called inputs. These inputs can be analogue or digital.
Status:
functional situation of the controller.
Modbus RTU / Profibus:
type of connection with the controller to manage
it remotely.
Pattern:
model of adhesive dots and/or beads to be applied, based on a
periodicity and repeatability. Each pattern can be configured with various
beads. A different pattern can be assigned to each applicator.
Product/Substrate:
component to be glued and where the corresponding
pattern will be applied.
Output:
the connection ports on the rear panel of the controller used to
determine the status of the device, such as the application output, 0-10
V, error or status, are called outputs. These outputs can be analogue or
digital.
