Parameter Name
(Case-Sensitive)
Value Range
Explanation
Cycl. Count
number of runs
0–999
Number of (uniform) dispensing pulses in a line; a pulse
consists of a dispensing time and a pause time
Activation
IN
IN = 1–10
or
IN = 0 (control
program)
or
IN = passive (PICO
controller menu)
Input signal to start a line; signal transmitters can be keys,
switches, light barriers, a PLC, etc.; when IN = 0, the line
cannot be started by input signal, triggering occurs only when
linked as connected line or in manual mode
Linkage
connected line
0–99
A line is linked to a connected line (subsequent line); a delay
can be inserted between the linked lines; all existing lines
between 1 and 99 can be linked to one another in any order;
line 0 means no link (end of line)
Delay
connecting time
0–9999 (ms)
Delay between two linked lines (e.g., duration of transfer of a
part to a new dispensing position)
Block Count
blocknumber
1–999
Number of cycles of a line or a block
NOTE: If a block consisting of multiple lines is to be
repeated, the number of repetitions must be stored in the
starting line of the block under “blocknumber.”
Dosing Value
dosing value
0–9999.99 (mg)
Number of lines of material consumed per block; this quantity
is used to calculate material consumption (number of lines
multiplied by quantity / line); the quantity per line must be
determined by trial and error.
Ext. Puls.
ext.puls
0 = Standard routine
1 = Special routine
0 = No external continuous signal, i.e., dispensing according
to standard routine (start dispensing sequences with IN1 to
IN10)
1 = External continuous signal is active; as long as the
external continuous signal is applied, dispensing follows
a special routine: The dispensing program stored in the
respective line runs as an infinite loop and stops when the
continuous signal is interrupted; dispensing pulses that have
already started are completed to prevent the formation of
drops.
Parameters and Value Ranges (continued)
NOTE:
When the setting for Dosing Value, Cycle, or Cycl. Count is changed, the new value applies immediately, allowing fine
adjustments during the dispensing process. However, to ensure that values are saved properly (in EEPROM), confirm each value
by pressing the Enter key.
