Ransburg RCS 2 Ratio Control System - Manual (Page 36)

MANUAL - This setting is used when the user
wishes only to control the ratio of the material.
Users can "demand" as much material as they wish
and the controller will deliver as much as possible
while keeping the ratio on target. (A maximum
flow rate can be programmed.)
No. of Channels
This parameter has 3 possible settings: 0, 1, or 2.
0 - This effectively disables the gun
1 - This indicates that the gun is to be a single
channel, flow control only gun.
2 - This indicates that the gun is to be a dual
channel, ratio controlled gun.
Mode
This parameter has three possible settings: OFF,
AUTO, and MANUAL.
OFF - This setting completely disables the gun,
removes its data from the main screen, and places
the channels tied to this gun available for use by
another gun.
AUTO - This setting is used when the user wishes
to control the flow rate of the applicator. If this is
to be a 2 channel gun, it also controls the ratio of
the two materials.
Master Channel
This parameter has 8 possible settings: 1-8. For
single channel guns, it simply indicates which
channel will be controlling the pump for this gun.
For dual channel guns it indicates (normally) which
channel will be controlling resin pump.
Slave Channel
This parameter has 4 possible settings: 2, 4, 6, or
8. It indicates which channel will be slave to the
master channel (selected above) for ratio control.
Number of Applicators
The range of allowable values for this parameter
is any integer from 1 to 4.
This parameter indicates how many applicators
will be connected to the fluid panel controlled by
this gun. It is used by the multiple trigger input
capabilities of the RCS-2 to multiply the target
flow rate by the number of triggers being input.
For example: if the target flow rate is 100 cc/min
and 1 gun is triggered, the RCS-2 will deliver 100
cc/min to the outlet of the fluid panel, if 3 trigger
inputs are energized, the RCS-2 will deliver 300
cc/min to the outlet of the fluid panel.
F9: Read in File - This button allows operators
to load the system parameters from any media.
They are stored in a file named system.par.
F10: Save to File - This button allows operators
to save the parameters on this screen to any
writeable media. They are stored in a file named
system.par.
F2: Config Gun
When F2 is selected from the main screen, the
operator will be prompted to select the gun num-
ber they wish to create or modify the parameters
for. Once a gun number is selected, the following
screen will appear.
