PARAMETER
DESCRIPTIONS
CONFIG SYSTEM (F1)
All system parameters are password protected,
unless disabled by setting the password to zero
(0). Any time an operator wishes to change any
of these parameters, they are prompted for the
password. The password only needs to be entered
once as long as the time between keystrokes does
not exceed the Password Timer as described
below. System parameters may be edited at any
time regardless of the operating mode if no sys-
tem errors exist. Any active system errors must
be cleared.
Horn Code
This is a coded number that represents when the
supervisor would like the System Fault output relay
to energize. This output is normally connected to
a horn. The options desired are selected.
0 = No horn
1 = Horn when controller faults
2 = Horn when pot-life timer has expired
4 = Horn when external fault is detected
Blow Off Time
This parameter is used only if the GUN is config-
ured as a manual GUN. The software monitors
the trigger signal to identify when the spray GUN
is triggered. (Typically this signal comes from an
air flow switch located in the atomization air line.)
If the software ever detects a GUN trigger signal
without pulses from the master channel flow meter
after the ‘Blow Off’ time has elapsed, a No Master
Flow fault is issued. This prevents a painter from
painting if the flow meter sticks. In some manual
Any modifications to the System Pa-
rameters screen data are saved only when
the operator presses the "Store Data" key
(F5), otherwise the modifications will be
lost when the screen is exited with the es-
cape (ESC) key.

applications, painters will only trigger the spray
GUN enough to get atomization air to flow without
material. They use this air to blow off or feather
the part. The software would normally sense this
air flow without material flow and then fault the
GUN. This parameter allows the painter a preset
number of seconds of blow off time before faulting.
This parameter is specified in seconds, and the
default is 5 seconds. A setting of zero (0) disables
the no master flow fault.
Change Password (F3)
Used in conjunction with the Password Timer pa-
rameter. The operator can change the password
if the previous password is known. The password
is required for editing or setting all data tables and
configuration parameters. A password of '0' will
disable password operation.
Password Timeout
Once a valid password has been entered, this
parameter sets the amount of time (in min) which
is allowed from the last keystroke until password
operation is stopped. Once the timer has expired,
the user will be prompted for the password again
if password protected settings are to be edited.
RIO Rack Address, Rack Size,
Starting Quarter, and Baud Rate
Displays the RIO communication parameters,
as decoded from the Interface Module DIP SW1
and SW2 settings.
SIO Baud Rate and COM Port
Displays the SIO communication baud rate, as
decoded from the Interface Module DIP SW1
and SW2 settings, and the COM port (COM1 or
COM2), as defined in the GO.INI file.
Channel Module Firmware Revision(s)
Displays the firmware revision for the installed
Channel Modules.
Interface Module Firmware Revision
Displays the firmware revision for the Interface
Module.
User Interface Revision
Displays the current version of the user-interface
software running on the user-interface PC.
