(Case-Sensitive)
Value Range
Explanation
Container
container
0–9999.99 (g)
Total material quantity in a full container (this quantity from a
full container is available for dispensing)
Limit
limit
0–9999.99 (g)
When the material in the container falls to this level, a signal is
emitted to allow the required action to be taken in time (e.g.,
container change)
NOTE:
The value shown for Remaining is equal to the amount
specified for the full container minus amount used.
Not available
adjustable range
0–100 (%)
or
v = full range
Specification of the possible variations on the PICO
Toµch
controllers (in percentage of dispensing time, pause time,
number of pulses); the adjustable range allows the entire (full)
range of values for variation.
Temperature
temperature
0–100 (°C)
Specification of the dispensing material temperature in the
dispensing valve; the value applies to all of the dispensing
sequences in the channel
Stop
stop
0 = Off
1 = On
2 = Emergency off
The EMERGENCY OFF feature is activated by disrupting
the 24 V signal to pin 15. The action taken when the signal
is disrupted depends on the value selected (0, 1, or 2). The
values have the following meanings:
0 = Off / not active
1 = On (current pulse output is completely executed)
2 = Emergency off (current pulse output is canceled as quickly
as possible) executed
Not available
Delay-Time
0–9999.99 (ms)
Resolution 10 bit*
Maximum value of a variable pause time; the duration of the
pause is changed proportionally to the analog input voltage 0
to 10 V within the range of 0.12 ms to delay time (0 V Æ 0.12
ms; 10 V Æ delay time)
Row
line
1–99
Ascending numbering of the program lines; 1 to 99 lines can
be saved per channel.
Pulse Time
dosing time
0 (ms)
or
0.05–9999.99 (ms)
Duration of a dispensing pulse—material is metered during this
time; 0.05 ms minimum dispensing time for a dispensing valve;
0 ms if dispensing sequence is to begin with a pause
Cycle
Not available
0.17–9999.99 (ms)
or
v, 0.05 ms
Duration of a dispensing pulse + pause; no material is fed
during the pause; if dispensing time = period _ this serves
to string together impulses to a continuous signal; when the
pause time v is variable, the analog input signal regulates the
pause between 0.12 ms and delay time.

* Due to the wiring, only about 800 of the 210 = 1024 steps potentially possible are actually used.
