Ransburg RCS 2 Ratio Control System - Manual (Page 13)

CHANNELS AND GUNS
The RCS-2 control system achieves closed-loop
control of its fluids via its configured channels and
guns. A channel consists of one pump, one motor,
one motor amplifier, two pressure transducers,
and one half of a channel card.
A gun, in most cases, represents one applicator
and may be configured with one channel (for flow
control only) or configured with two channels (for
ratio and flow control).
Each channel operates independently of and
simultaneously with all of the other channels in
the system. The controller, therefore, provides
accurate dynamic flow control for all channels.
CONTROL RACK
INTEGRATION
The control rack has been designed to be con-
sistent with other Ransburg products to allow
integration of the RCS-2 control rack in larger
control consoles. These consoles may house
rotary atomizer speed control, shaping and fan
air control, high voltage setpoints, etc.
CONFIGURABLE
OPERATING
PARAMETERS
The design of the system allows it to be configured
to meet the requirements of the application. The
large number of parameters allows the system to
be used in almost any application involving flow
and/or ratio control of fluids.
System Parameters are parameters that affect
the overall system, which includes all channels
and guns or the user interface. They include:
• Over Pressure Limit
• Foldback Pressure
• Pressure Sensor Limit
• Horn Enable/Disable
• Password
• Password Timeout
• Controller I/P Address
• Interface Card Name
• Software and Firmware Version Information
• User Program IP Port
• System Time
• System Date
Gun Parameters are parameters that affect the
gun. These parameters apply to all channels
configured to that gun. They include:
• Mode (manual or automatic)
• Number of channels configured to gun
• Master Channel Number
• Slave Channel Number
• Number of Applicators
• Default Job Number
• Mixed Volume
• Flow/Ratio Tolerance
• Tolerance Volume
• Alarm Tolerance Time
• Solvent Flow Meter Calibration Factor
• Horn Code
• Auto Reset Enable/Disable
The solvent manifold supplies solvent for flushing
as well as filling of the magnetic coupling chamber.
The pump bypass valve is mounted on the resin
pump and allows the fluid passing into the inlet
of the resin pump to bypass the gears and go
directly to the outlet port. This can decrease flush
and load times.
>
This valve should not be used while
loading 2k materials as improper ratios
will result.
