System Operation

Alarm Monitoring/Reset (Discrete I/O)

Anytime an alarm occurs, the Alarm Reset input will reset the alarms and allow for processing of the next step by automation, except for the following condi- tions:

•Potlife Alarms cannot be reset by the Alarm Reset

input or through the EasyKey Alarm Reset

key. Only a Purge/Color Change or spraying the Potlife volume will reset a Potlife alarm. (See Alarm_Potlife output information on page 54.)

•When Flow Control is turned on (see Configure Screen 5 on page 34), the Flow_Rate_Alarm output will be High when the instantaneous flow rate is above or below the Flow Rate tolerance setting. (High Flow or Low Flow will be the condition, indi- cating in the status bar of the EasyKey.) This output will be High along with the Mix_Active output. The PLC should monitor the amount of time this condi- tion exists and take action at a predetermined time. With Flow Control there will be times (for example during flow rate changes) where the general alarm as described here will be High (typically momen- tarily). The PLC must read this Alarm output (i.e. general alarm), see if Mix_Active is still High, and if so, start a timer. A typical example would be to ensure all parts are sprayed within a specific flow rate range. A maximum predetermined time would be set to allow a Low or High flow condition to exist continuously.

•Shutdown or go to Standby after the flow rate alarm time expires.

Job_Complete Input

Every time a momentary Job_Complete input is seen by the ProMix 2KS, a job log will be recorded, logging the A and B meter volumes (cc) with a time and date stamp.

The volumes will then be reset to 0. (Volume totals are accumulated since the last reset.)

NOTE: A Color Change accomplishes the same Job Complete Reset functions. The Job_Complete input is commonly used to record material usage for a specific set of parts. These volumes are sprayed material vol- umes.

For Applications with Dump Valves (for quick purges/color changes at or near the gun):

ProMix 2KS has four specials that can each be turned off and on twice throughout a color change sequence. See Advanced Setup Screen 8 on page 42 or Recipe Setup Screen 7 on page 46.

For example, a dump valve at a gun on a robot could be opened at the appropriate times to facilitate fast color changes. Another output could be used to automatically drive an air-operated fluid regulator High during the Purge or Color Change process.

NOTE: With integrated Flow Control, the flow control regulator automatically is driven High. See Advanced Setup Screen 5 on page 41 for specifics on setting up these values. Each of the specials can be monitored, but can only be controlled through the times entered within the setup screens of the EasyKey or by managing the proper registers on the network.

The following ProMix 2KS inputs should never be on (High) at the same time:

•Mix_Start

•Purge_Start

•Color_Change_Start

The Recipe Bits (0-6) are always on at the same time. The only time these bits are recognized is when the Color_Change_Start input is High. The Recipe Bits should be loaded and stay loaded for the current rec- ipe. Do not change the Recipe Bits until a color change is required again. Inconsistent results are possible if this is not followed.
