Understanding the LOGO! PLC
Warm-Up Mode
Definition:
ƒ The Warm-up Cycle runs for approximately 18 minutes. It is signaled by a 1 second
interval blinking strobe and a non-functional Guillotine. Once the Warm-up Cycle
is complete the Strobe will go solid and the Guillotine will become operational.
HOW TO start Warm-Up Mode:
ƒ Make sure the Glue Pot is installed and filled.
ƒ Plug in the Equalizer and turn it on.
ƒ The Warm-Up screen displays on the LOGO! module. This Screen will have a
timer that counts up the time remaining until operating temperature is reached.
Guidelines:
ƒ Do not attempt temperature adjustment while in the Warm-up Cycle
ƒ Do not attempt to apply glue while in the Warm-up Cycle
ƒ The Light will blink faster the last 5 minutes of the Warm-up Cycle
Run Mode
Definition:
ƒ The Run Mode of the Equalizer is entered when the appropriate glue temperature is
reached. At this point the Strobe goes solid and the Guillotine is operational.
HOW TO start the Run Mode:
ƒ The only way to get the Equalizer into Run Mode is to go through the Warm-Up
cycle.
Guidelines:
ƒ Temperature will be automatically maintained as long as the Equalizer remains in
use and in Run Mode.
ƒ Glue levels will be automatically maintained as long as the Equalizer remains in use
and in Run Mode.
ƒ The temperature can be adjusted using the LOGO! interface through the back door
of the Equalizer.
ƒ The Equalizer will enter Rest Mode if it remains unused for more than 18 minutes.
