Ransburg RCS 2 Ratio Control System - Manual (Page 32)

CHANNEL FILL
The CHANNEL FILL button causes a pop-up box
to appear on the current screen. Any CHANNEL
can be manually placed in CHANNEL FILL MODE
by simply pressing the number for the desired
CHANNEL. The mode is deactivated by pressing
the CHANNEL number again or by pushing the
ESC button. This is the same as supplying an ex-
ternal CHANNEL FILL input signal. (See "Discrete
Inputs - Channel Fill" in the "Installation" section
for details on the channel fill mode.) Note that
the motor will start running the instant the channel
number is pushed.
HELP
The HELP button can be pressed at any time.
It will provide more detailed help for the current
active screen.
CLEAR GUN FAULTS
Pressing this button will immediately clear any
faults reported by the controller regardless of the
current screen. If the fault resulted in the stoppage
of fluid, then a GUN RUN signal is required to
start flow again. Enter the ERROR LOG screen
to view the error that occurred. Pot-life faults can
only be ‘cleared’ by evacuating the volume of fluid
as determined by the Mixed Volume parameter
located in the GUN CONFIGURATION screen .
Pressing the Clear Faults button will silence the
horn, if it is enabled.
ERROR LOG
Pressing this button opens up the error log win-
dow, which displays the last 100 faults that have
occurred. These faults are time and date stamped
and can be saved to a diskette or memory stick,
if desired.
PASSWORD OPERATION
When enabled, the password is required for ed-
iting any system or GUN configurations, loading
information from files, editing Job tables or forcing
inputs and outputs. A pop-up screen will appear
requesting the password when attempting to
perform a password protected operation. Once a
password is entered correctly, it will not be required
again until the password timer has elapsed. The
password and password timer can be set in the
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION screen. The pass-
word timer starts after the last button is pushed.
Every additional keystroke before the password
timer elapses resets the timer. This makes it
convenient for an operator to change multiple
parameters without having to continually reenter
the password. In the event that the password is
lost or is not recognized by the controller, contact
Ransburg Service. Entering a "O" (zero) for the
password will disable password protection.
CONFIGURABLE
OPERATING
PARAMETERS
The design of the RCS-2 system allows it to be
configured to meet the requirements of the appli-
cation. The large number of parameters allows
the RCS-2 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
• Password Timeout
• Interface Card Name
• Interface Card I/P Address
• User Program IP Port
• Password
• Software and Firmware Version Information
• System Date and Time
>
Note that the interface card stores
the previous fault information in bat-
tery-backed memory but it does not con-
tain a real-time clock. Therefore, the date
and time of the faults are provided by the
user-interface PC. If the unit is powered
up with faults still stored in the Error Log,
the date and time of those faults on the
Error Log Screen will either be left blank
or may be random values.
