Factory Settings
After a factory reset, the PICO controller returns to the following factory default settings.
Parameter
Factory Default Setting
Language
English
Adjustable range
v (full possibility of variation for manual entry)
Row 1
IN1; Cycl.Count 1; Block Count 1
Stop
0 (Emergency OFF is deactivated)
NOTE:
When Stop is set to 0, the device can be used to experimentally dispense
without a 24 V signal; for this function, 24 V must be on pin 17 for IN_FAULT_PLC.
Code (password)
- - - - - - (6 spaces)
NOTE:
6 zeros (0) in the control program are equivalent to 6 spaces (6 presses) of
the Enter key on the PICO controller.
CAN baud rate
125 kBit/s
CAN address
63
System Data/Temp Output
0–5V
All other parameters

Characteristics of a Control Program
Parameter Restrictions
• The control program structure (TXT file) is predefined, as the following sample programs show.
• Each control program begins with a header. The unit name, the version of the basic board, and the program name
are stored here.
• The unit checks compatibility independently. There is complete downward compatibility beginning with software
version 1.x. If a control program is used for a higher software version, the unit will accept the software version
only if the value following the decimal point is greater than the basic version.
• For example, a unit with software version 3.0 accepts control programs with the entry [SW Revision] 2.x, but not if
the value before the decimal point is greater than 3; e.g., [SW Revision] 4.0 is not accepted.
• The length of the string between [Description] and [Data] can be a maximum of 8,000 characters; it may not
contain brackets “[ ].”
• The sequence and designation of the individual parameters may not be changed. It is particularly important that
the designations “Code,” “Valve no.,” “Delay time,” and “Ext. Puls” remain unchanged.
• The lines are numbered in ascending order from 1 to 99. Line numbers can be skipped or deleted. Line number 0
is not permitted.
• Each input signal (IN1 to IN10) may appear only once per channel in each control program; otherwise a fault is
indicated. A control program can contain up to 99 (linked or unlinked) lines.
• Number of Pulses specifies the number of pulses per line; the value can be between 1 and 999 (at least one pulse
per line).
• Number of Blocks states the number of cycles of a block (a block consists of a line or multiple linked lines). When
lines or blocks can be started with IN1 to IN10, the number of blocks can be between 1 and 999 (at least 1). Lines
that can not be started directly must have the number of the starting line of the block. Block number 0 is not
permitted.
