Ransburg RCS 2 Ratio Control System - Manual (Page 22)

determines this based on the programmed pump
sizes and the programmed ratio. Pulsing the halt/
reset input takes the gun out of the fast fill mode.
Channel Fill
Type of Input: Channel
Type of Signal: Pulsed
A gun must be in the ready state to use this mode.
This mode functions the same for single channel
guns as it does for dual channel guns.
When this input is pulsed, the pump for that channel
is run at its maximum rate (150 RPM) until the halt
signal is pulsed. It is not necessary for the trigger
input to be energized. If it is desired to have both
channels of a two channel gun run at full speed
(for flushing, etc.) this input must be pulsed on
both channels. The halt signal for the specific
channel that is channel filling must be pulsed. For
example: if both channels are channel filling, both
halt signals must be pulsed to stop them.
Feather Set
Type of Input: Gun
Type of Signal: Pulsed
If the gun is configured as a manual mode gun and
the value zero (0) is programmed in for feather
pressure (under the CONFIG JOB parameters)
this input can be used to program the feather
pressure "on the fly". That is, if a handsprayer is
painting and this input is momentarily energized,
the RCS-2 controller takes a snapshot of the out-
bound pressure of the pumps (or the pressure at
the optional feather pressure sensor, if it is being
used) and then starts controlling the speed of the
pumps to maintain that pressure. The optional
Remote Operator’s Panel has a pushbutton on
it that allows the handsprayer to utilize this fea-
ture. (Refer to "Appendix H" for more details on
feathering.)
Run
Type of Input: Gun
Type of Signal: Pulsed
This signal takes a configured gun from the ready
state to the "run" mode. In order for a gun to spray,
it must first be put into run mode. It is essentially
a way of enabling a gun. Energizing the trigger
input of a gun will not cause fluid to flow unless
the gun has first been placed in run mode.
Halt/Fault Reset
Type of Input: Gun
Type of Signal: Pulsed
This input takes a configured gun that is in run
mode to the ready state, essentially disabling the
gun from spraying. It also resets a fault for the
gun if it is in the faulted state.
Trigger 1
Type of Input: Gun
Type of Signal: Maintained
This input tells the controller to run the pumps if and
only if the gun has first been placed in run mode.
Motor Amp Enable
Type of Input: Channel
Type of Signal: Maintained
This is an input to the controller from the motor
amplifier indicating that the motor amplifier has
been enabled by the channel card and that there
are no problems.
Triggers 2, 3, and 4
Type of Input: Gun
Type of Signal: Maintained
These signals are additional trigger input signals.
They would be used in cases where the output of
a fluid panel was split between multiple applica-
tors. They work in conjunction with the trigger 1
input to allow up to 4 independent triggers, one
for each of 4 applicators. The software can be
configured in such a way that if one of these inputs
is on, the fluid panel delivers the target flow rate
of material. If a second input is turned on, then
the fluid panel will deliver twice the target flow
rate. If a third input is energized, three times the
target flow is delivered and if all four inputs are
energized, the fluid panel will deliver four times the
target flow rate. It is assumed that each of these
inputs are also connected to the trigger inputs on
four independent applicators.
