Using Automatic Mode
Entering Automatic Mode
To put the PrecisionSwirl module into Automatic mode:
You are about to place the system under robotic control. Make sure dispensing will not endanger people or equipment before proceeding.
1.Make sure the POWER indicator, shown in FIG. 12, is lit at the control assembly. If it is not, turn the MAIN power switch to the ON position, turning on power to the PrecisionSwirl control assembly cir- cuitry.
2.Set the CONTROL SELECT switch to AUTOMATIC.
3.Press the RUN/ENABLE (black) button. Make sure the green RUN indicator, shown in FIG. 12, is lit at the control assembly.
The PrecisionSwirl orbital dispenser is now enabled. When it receives a 24 Volt RUN/ENABLE command from the robot, the PrecisionSwirl orbital dispenser motor starts and reaches full speed in about one sec- ond. The orbital dispenser motor stops when the 24 Volt RUN/ENABLE command is removed.
4.Leave the control assembly in this state during nor- mal operation.
Leaving Automatic Mode
To leave Automatic dispense mode and idle the module:
1.Press the STOP (red) button.
2.Set the CONTROL SELECT switch to MANUAL.
3.Make sure the green RUN indicator, shown in FIG. 12, is off at the control assembly.
Using Manual Mode
1.Make sure the POWER indicator, in FIG. 12, is lit at the control assembly. If it is not, turn the MAIN power switch to the ON position, turning on power to the PrecisionSwirl control assembly circuitry.
2.Set the CONTROL SELECT switch to MANUAL.
PrecisionSwirl Module Operation
The system is now ready to dispense. Make sure dispensing will not endanger people or equipment before proceeding.
3.Press the RUN/ENABLE (black) button. Make sure the green RUN indicator, shown in
FIG. 12, is lit at the control assembly.
The PrecisionSwirl orbital dispenser motor starts imme- diately.
Stop Manual Swirling
To stop manual swirling and idle the module:
1. Press the STOP (red) button.
The PrecisionSwirl orbital dispenser is now disabled and will stop swirling material.
2.Make sure the green RUN indicator, shown in FIG. 12, is off at the control assembly.
Analyzing Causes for a Motor Fault Alarm
Circuitry on the relay board monitors the motor speed to verify that the motor is functioning properly.
When the motor functions improperly, the circuitry on the relay board activates the motor fault alarm. The alarm turns on when:
•the motor speed has not risen within the
•the motor speed is outside the tolerance range for at least five seconds while operating.
When a fault occurs, the motor fault light on the control panel illuminates, and the alarm relay activates sending the fault signal out via the automatic control cable. The alarm remains turned on until the fault condition is cor- rected or the run command is removed.
A fault will also be generated if any of the front panel controls are not in the correct position for automatic operation (power switch, enable switch, manual/auto switch).
