Conair WSB generates, for Micro Blender air driven reciprocating mixer, Monitor Cycle Time, When

MPO for Micro Blender air driven reciprocating mixer.

MPO sets the timing, in tenths of seconds the clockwise and counterclockwise timing of the mix blade. MPO 00010 is 1 second for each direction.

LIQ For LIQUID COLOR applications using dual pumps / drums.

Liquid Color users generally want the current container of color to run completely out before switching to a new container. Switching early requires the transfer of the unused portion to the next container. This feature allows a standby container to be in place and ready, and instructs the blender to switch to the backup container as soon as the first container runs out, as detected by the lack of weight after a dispense. The default setting is LIQ 01011, which directs that component 10 is the normal output, and 11 is the component to switch to. Outputs 10 and 11 must first be prewired to an outlet that is added to the side plate of the controller. Two additional air solenoids are also added to drive liquid pumps that require air for operation.

When conventional pumps are used, two pumps must be present, each connected to a drum of color. Both would have to be plugged into the two outlets on the duplex receptacle on the front of the controller.

The parameter would be set to LIQ 00506, which is to say that the "additive" outlet (output 6) is designated as the back up output for COLOR (which is output 5).

Other arrangements are possible, but require some wiring.

MCT Monitor Cycle Time

This parameter acts as the ultimate fail safe precaution. When used, it monitors sequential cycle times, and alarms if a cycle time exceeds the previous cycle time by an amount that is not consistent with proper operation. This provides a means to detect mechanical failures such as a sticking valve or weigh bin gate.

When	set	to	00000,	this parameter	is	not active.
When	set	to	MCT 02060, an alarm will			occur when	either a cycle time is
double (02xxx) the				previous time,	or	exceeds it	by 60 (xx060) seconds.

At power-on this alarm is always set off and disabled. Once smooth running is established, the alarm is enabled. Smooth operation is established using the same logic that Extrusion Control uses.

If the alarm is activated, the display will say (TIME OUT).

Press the alarm silence button to reset the alarm. A new cycle will also reset the alarm.

If another alarm is currently active (material not dispensing for example) then this Monitor alarm is ignored or reset.
