Getting Started
5-1 Introduction
Before pressing the
START
key on your controller, you should
configure it to the specific needs of your system. To help you set
up the controller quickly, this step-by-step chapter walks you
through the setup using the menu system. This procedure will work
for most applications, but you may need to perform some minor
adjustments afterwards to achieve the best conveying performance.
Note: The controller must be in Offline mode to permit access to
the menu system.
5-2 Setting the Pump Mode
The first setting to be configured is the Pump mode. This function
tells the controller how many pumps are connected to the system
and how the pumps are to be controlled.
You can select two pump modes: Single Pump mode and Dual
Pump mode. In Single Pump mode (default), one (1) pump is used
to convey material to all 12 stations. In Dual Pump mode, two (2)
pumps are used simultaneously, resulting in a more efficient
conveying process.
