Operation Using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

Digital Inputs

Safety Interlock: This normally open contact works like a soft emergency stop button. If the ProMix PD2K reads the input as CLOSED it interrupts system operation and removes power from the pumps regardless of the current operating mode. If the input is read as OPEN, the system operates normally

NOTE: This digital input is always enabled.

Do not toggle this input to put the system into Standby mode.

Gun Trigger: This normally open (maintained) contact provides a signal to the system to indicate whether or not a spray device is triggered. This input provides timing for alarm functions and also drives the flow control algorithm. If the input is OPEN the system operates as though the spray device is off. The input must be maintained CLOSED to signal that the spray device is triggered.

NOTE: The Gun Trigger discrete input must be enabled via Configure Screen 5 on the ADM. If it is set to ‘Network’ the discrete input is ignored and the spray device trigger signal is handled via the network communications.

If enabled, it is imperative that this signal be sent any time the spray device is triggered. Without the signal, the flow control features will not work.

Analog Inputs

Flow Control Set Point: When enabled, this 4-20mA signal input is used to set and adjust the operating flow control set point. The ProMix PD2K scales the set point linearly from 0 to the Max Set Point setting (see System Screen 5, page 71). Examples,

In Flow Control Mode: If the Max Set Point is 500 cc/min, a 4mA signal is 0 cc/min and a 20mA signal is 500 cc/min.

In Pressure Control Mode: If the Max Set Point is 500 psi, a 4mA signal is 0 psi and a 20mA signal is 500 psi.

NOTE: The Flow Control discrete input must be enabled via Configure Screen 5 on the ADM. If set to ‘Network’ the discrete input is ignored and set point adjustment is handled via the network communications.
