Operation Using a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

Read Recipe

The Read Recipe command returns all configured recipe parameters for a desired recipe number. The number of the recipe to be read is the only argument.

Example: Read Recipe 5 data as it is currently configured with Color = 3, Catalyst = 2 (32), Color Flush Sequence = 1, Catalyst Flush Sequence = 4, Mix Ratio Set Point = 3.25:1, and Potlife = 35 min.

Read Flush Sequence

The Read Flush Sequence command returns all configured parameters for a desired flush sequence. The number of the flush sequence to be read is the only argument.

Example: Read Flush Sequence 1 as it is currently configured with Gun Purge Time = 20 sec, Initial Flush Volume = 0 cc, Final Flush Volume = 500 cc, Wash Cycles = 2, and Strokes per Cycle = 1.
