Note that there are too many valves and signals to

be displayed on one screen. Therefore, the opera-

tor must scroll down to see the bottom five items.

Program the time for each step by touching the

step duration box under the step to be modified

and then push F1 (Modify) to change it. Then

toggle any of the signal or valve boxes at each

step that you wish to have on during that step

and then push the Modify button. The steps will

toggle between Off and On as you continuously

hit the Modify button.

The Hold step is the final step in the sequence

(for both flush and fill). When the sequence com-

pletes, the signals and valves will be held in the

condition selected in the hold step. Keep in mind

that when changing from one color to another, the

system performs a flush sequence followed by a fill

sequence so the hold step in the flush sequence

will only occur momentarily.

There are 8 function keys defined while editing

flush, load, and color change sequences:

F1: Modify – This button brings up a numeric

keypad if cursor is on one of the step duration

cells. If cursor is on one of the valve condition

cells, that cell is toggled from off to on or on to off.

F2: Chop Air Time – This button allows the user

to program how long the air valve remains on for

each step of the solvent/air chop timer.

F3: Chop Solvent Time - This button allows the

user to program how long the solvent valve remains

on for each step of the solvent/air chop timer.

F4: Edit Fill/Flush – This button opens the screen

that allows viewing and editing of the flush or the

fill sequences (the button changes to fill if the

flush sequence is displayed and to flush if the fill

sequence is displayed).

F5: Send to PLC – This button allows the operator

to immediately send the edited sequence to the

sequencer (located in the motor amplifier panel).

Note that the sequences are automatically sent

to the sequencer every time a new Job Number

is loaded.

F8: Copy Sequence – This button allows the op-

erator to copy sequences from one job to another.

F9: Read In File – This button allows the operator

to load flush and load sequences from the flash

drive of the touchscreen, a USB memory stick, or

to a floppy diskette.

F10: Save To File – This button allows the operator

to save flush and load sequences to the flash drive

of the touchscreen, a USB memory stick, or to a

floppy diskette. All flush and load sequences for

all guns are saved in a file named: ColorChg.par.
