Some materials may become self-igniting if applied too thick. Read material manufacturer’s warnings and

Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Spraying or dispensing materials that contain isocyanates creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and atomized particulates.

• Read and understand the fluid manufacturer’s warnings and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to know specific hazards and precautions related to isocyanates.

• Use of isocyanates involves potentially hazardous procedures. Do not spray with this equipment unless you are trained, qualified, and have read and understood the information in this manual and in the fluid manufacturer’s application instructions and SDS.

• Use of incorrectly maintained or mis-adjusted equipment may result in improperly cured material. Equipment must be carefully maintained and adjusted according to instructions in the manual.

• To prevent inhalation of isocyanate mists, vapors, and atomized particulates, everyone in the work area must wear appropriate respiratory protection.

Always wear a properly fitting respirator, which may include a supplied-air respirator. Ventilate the work area according to instructions in the fluid manufacturer’s SDS.

• Avoid all skin contact with isocyanates. Everyone in the work area must wear chemically impermeable gloves, protective clothing and foot coverings as recommended by the fluid manufacturer and local regulatory authority.

Follow all fluid manufacturer recommendations, including those regarding handling of contaminated clothing. After spraying, wash hands and face before eating or drinking.

Keep Components A and B

Separate

Cross-contamination can result in cured material in fluid lines which could cause serious injury or damage equipment. To prevent cross-contamination:

• Never interchange component A and component

B wetted parts.

• Never use solvent on one side if it has been contaminated from the other side.

Important Two-Component Material Information

Moisture Sensitivity of

Isocyanates

Exposure to moisture (such as humidity) will cause ISO to partially cure; forming small, hard, abrasive crystals, which become suspended in the fluid. Eventually a film will form on the surface and the ISO will begin to gel, increasing in viscosity.

NOTICE

Partially cured ISO will reduce performance and the life of all wetted parts.

• Always use a sealed container with a desiccant dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere.

Never store ISO in an open container.

• Keep the ISO pump wet cup or reservoir (if installed) filled with appropriate lubricant. The lubricant creates a barrier between the ISO and the atmosphere.

• Use only moisture-proof hoses compatible with

ISO.

• Never use reclaimed solvents, which may contain moisture. Always keep solvent containers closed when not in use.

• Always lubricate threaded parts with an appropriate lubricant when reassembling.

NOTE: The amount of film formation and rate of crystallization varies depending on the blend of ISO, the humidity, and the temperature.

Changing Materials

NOTICE

Changing the material types used in your equipment requires special attention to avoid equipment damage and downtime.

• When changing materials, flush the equipment multiple times to ensure it is thoroughly clean.

• Always clean the fluid inlet strainers after flushing.

• Check with your material manufacturer for chemical compatibility.

• When changing between epoxies and urethanes or polyureas, disassemble and clean all fluid components and change hoses. Epoxies often have amines on the B (hardener) side. Polyureas often have aminies on the A (resin) side.

Important Acid Catalyst Information

Important Acid Catalyst Information

The 2KS Plural Component Proportioner is designed for acid catalysts (“acid”) currently used in two-component, wood-finishing materials. Current acids in use (with pH levels as low as 1) are more corrosive than earlier acids.

More corrosion-resistant wetted materials of construction are required, and must be used without substitution, to withstand the increased corrosive properties of these acids.

Acid Catalyst Conditions

Acid is flammable, and spraying or dispensing acid creates potentially harmful mists, vapors, and atomized particulates. To help prevent fire and explosion and serious injury:

• Read and understand the fluid manufacturer’s warnings and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to know specific hazards and precautions related to the acid.

• Use only genuine, manufacturer’s recommended acid-compatible parts in the catalyst system (hoses, fittings, etc). A reaction may occur between any substituted parts and the acid.

• To prevent inhalation of acid mists, vapors, and atomized particulates, everyone in the work area must wear appropriate respiratory protection. Always wear a properly fitting respirator, which may include a supplied-air respirator. Ventilate the work area according to instructions in the acid manufacturer’s SDS.

• Avoid all skin contact with acid. Everyone in the work area must wear chemically impermeable gloves, protective clothing, foot coverings, aprons, and face shields as recommended by the acid manufacturer and local regulatory authority. Follow all fluid manufacturer recommendations, including those regarding handling of contaminated clothing. Wash hands and face before eating or drinking.

• Regularly inspect equipment for potential leaks and remove spills promptly and completely to avoid direct contact or inhalation of the acid and its vapors.

• Keep acid away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Do not smoke in the work area. Eliminate all ignition sources.

• Store acid in the original container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and away from other chemicals in accordance with acid manufacturer’s recommendations. To avoid corrosion of containers, do not store acid in substitute containers. Reseal the original container to prevent vapors from contaminating the storage space and surrounding facility.

Moisture Sensitivity of Acid

Catalysts

Acid catalysts can be sensitive to atmospheric moisture and other contaminants. It is recommended the catalyst pump and valve seal areas exposed to atmosphere are flooded with ISO oil, TSL, or other compatible material to prevent acid build-up and premature seal damage and failure.

NOTICE

Acid build-up will damage the valve seals and reduce the performance and life of the catalyst pump. To prevent exposing acid to moisture:

• Always use a sealed container with a desiccant dryer in the vent, or a nitrogen atmosphere.

Never store acids in an open container.

• Keep the catalyst pump and the valve seals filled with the appropriate lubricant. The lubricant creates a barrier between the acid and the atmosphere.

• Use only moisture-proof hoses compatible with acids.

• Always lubricate threaded parts with an appropriate lubricant when reassembling.

One-Point threshold

Flow Control runs in Pressure mode for flow setpoints below this value. If the setpoint is at or above this value, a linear calibration is made from (0, 0) to the point.

Learn Strength

This controls how much of the flow error signal is applied when adjusting the Pressure-Flow curve. It will always target the same flow. Because the flow control drives to pressure, the reported flow rate may jump around. However, if the material is consistent and the pressure is constant, then the actual flow is correct.

Pressure zero offset

Zero-pressure calibration adjustment for pressure sensor. Used primarily for accurate flow rate calculation in

Pressure mode. This is added to the pressure reading, so a negative value zeroes out a positive offset.

Learn blanking time after gun trigger is opened. Flow learning is turned off during this interval. May be reduced for high-pressure systems. May need to be increased for low-pressure systems.

GT-Off drive time

Time to drive to pressure while the gun trigger is off.

GT-Off target rise

The additional pressure to control to based on flow rate setpoint when the gun is closed. This allows the system to be close to the pressure target when the gun is opened.

Purge drive

Output drive during the Purge sequence. Maximum of

Flow Set Source

This appears only if Flow Control is turned on. Select

“Discrete” or “Network”.

In Discrete mode control is driven through the analog voltage input. In Network mode control is driven through a Modbus register.

Proportioning

Select “Discrete” or “Network”.

In Discrete mode control is driven through the Discrete

I/O board. In Network mode control is driven through a

Modbus register.

NOTE : It is not possible to read back the active recipe number using the Discrete I/O interface.

Gun 1 Trigger

Select “Discrete”, “Network”, or “AFS 1”.

In Discrete mode the gun trigger control is read by an

EasyKey digital input and sent to the Fluid Panel. In Network mode it is written to the EasyKey over the Modbus interface. In AFS 1 mode it is applied to the Fluid Panel in the Hazardous location.

NOTE : Discrete I/O is recommended. It is easy to connect in the normal location to the PLC. AFS 1 mode is used for special cases where the gun trigger timing is critical.

NOTE : Network gun trigger with Flow Control has a long time delay through the PLC to ProMix communications structure. This will negatively affect Flow Control operation.

ProMix Integration Specifics

Control Network ID

Select the Modbus address of the ProMix. The range is from 1 though 247.

Modbus communications for reading back information is available even when Discrete I/O control is enabled.

Status Verification of Automatic

Operation

Several screens allow viewing of control interface status information.

Discrete I/O bits as used on the ProMix are available in

Advanced Setup Screen 8 and Advanced Setup

Screen 9 If control is through the Network interface the

status data comes from those registers.

This data is updated live.

Discrete I/O vs Network

Communications

The ProMix Automatic system does not use a Booth

Control. Instead, it uses Discrete I/O or Network Communications to drive the system. Each method can be used exclusively, or both at the same time.

In Automatic mode, the following fields can be set to

“Discrete” or “Network” (see

Configure Screen 6

on

page 38):

• Flow Control

• Proportioning

• Gun 1 Trigger

NOTE: In Semi-automatic mode, only the Proportioning field is available.

NOTE: The Manual Override function enables you to operate the system before the automation (PLC) is available. Manual Override still requires some communication through Discrete I/O or Network Communications. Although Manual Override is not intended to be the main mode of control, it can be used if proper Gun

Trigger Input is provided.

ProMix Integration Specifics

Discrete I/O

Discrete I/O requires a 24 Vdc power supply which must be supplied on site. The ProMix does not supply power for Discrete I/O.

See Table 4 on page 61, F IG

. 76 on page 70, and Table

9 on page 71 for inputs and outputs. Understanding

these inputs and outputs is necessary to properly integrate the ProMix to the automation.

Input and output connections are made at the Discrete

I/O terminal strips (F IG . 69) and the discrete I/O board

(F IG . 70) inside the EasyKey. Also see the

System

Electrical Schematic on page 144.

Review the Color Change Charts (F IG

. 122-F IG . 131). A

full understanding of the color change sequence is necessary to properly drive the inputs and monitor the outputs.

See

Advanced Setup Screen 9 , page 46. This screen

shows the actual status of all inputs and outputs. It is important to ensure that each input from local automation (PLC) is received by the EasyKey and to verify that the ProMix is sending outputs to the automation.

ProMix Integration Specifics

Digital Inputs

See Automation Flow Charts , pages 62-66.

Mix Start: This is a maintained input. When High, the

ProMix will attempt to enter Mix mode. This Mix Start input should not be attempted unless the Mix_Ready output is recognized. This ensures that there are no alarms and that the Mix Start input is appropriate.

This input stays High at all times when mixing on demand is required. When Low, the intent is to stop mixing material and perform a purge or recipe change.

Do not toggle this input to set the unit to Standby mode during short work stoppages. The ProMix will automatically go into Idle mode after 2 minutes of inactivity.

When a Gun Trigger input is seen, the ProMix will automatically leave Idle mode and resume mixing material where it left off.

Purge Start: This is a maintained input. When recognized by the ProMix, the Purge Sequence will start, using the Purge Time from the active recipe. This will also include the Solvent Fill Time. Proper monitoring of the Purge/Color Change Output is required to ensure this function has begun. Once this output is removed, the system will immediately go to Standby mode.

Color Change Start: This is a momentary input, 100 msec minimum. When recognized by the ProMix, the

Color Change sequence will begin, starting at the

Color/Catalyst Dump.

NOTE: If the new recipe has the same color as the active recipe, then the Color/Catalyst Dump and

Color/Catalyst Fill times are skipped and the Color

Change Sequence starts with the Purge. Also, the recipe bit configuration for the Color Change must be loaded at least 100 msec before the Color Change Start input is turned on. The recipe bit configuration must remain on while the Color Change Start input is removed. Graco recommends the recipe bits stay active and do not change until a new color is required. The

PLC should monitor the Purge/Color Change Output as well as the Fill Active Output to ensure the process happens as required. A complete color change without errors (resulting in a Mix Ready Output state) is a completed color change.

NOTE: This also applies if using the Modbus Registers

(see the Modbus Map table in manual 312785).

Gun Trigger: When High, this input signals the ProMix that the gun is actually triggered. It should be sent every time the gun is triggered. This input provides timing for alarm functions and also drives the flow control functions. Without it, no flow control functions will start.

Job Complete: This is a momentary input, 100 msec minimum. When recognized by the ProMix, the Job totals are cleared and a time/date stamp is added for retrieval.

Remote Stop: Use this input when external equipment is used to stop the system. Clear any alarms before using this input. For more information about when this input is needed, contact your Graco distributor.

Alarm Reset: This is a momentary input, 100 msec minimum. When recognized by the ProMix it clears any active alarms and allows the automation to take the next step.

Common: This is not an input, but the ProMix expects to have the COM side of the 24 Vdc supply connected

as shown in Table 9. This ensures proper operation of

each input and output.

Purge_CC_Active: This output will remain High during the manual Purge or Color Change purge sequence.

See the Color Change Charts (F IG

. 122-F IG . 131) for fur-

ther information.

Fill_Active: This output will remain High while the Pro-

Mix is in the Mixed Material Fill at the end of a typical color change sequence.

Mix_Active: This output will remain High while the Pro-

Mix is in Mix mode. There may be alarm outputs while this output is High; these are typically High/Low Flow

Warnings. Always monitor this output and the alarm outputs to provide feedback of the actual status of the Pro-

Mix. (See the Modbus charts in the Graco Gateway manual 312785.)

Mix_Ready: This output will remain High while there are no alarms and the ProMix is ready to go to Mix mode.

General Alarm: This output will remain High when any alarm is active. See Table 19 on page 131 for a complete list of alarms.

NOTE: It is important to monitor this output along with

Mix_Active to understand the alarm’s true meaning.

Alarm_Potlife: This output will remain High along with the Alarm output when the potlife time has been reached for the active recipe. The Mix_Active output will drop Low, even if the Mix_Start input is High.

This output will remain High until the potlife volume is dispensed or the ProMix completes a Purge or a Color Change.

The Alarm Reset input will not stop this output but will silence the audible alarm on the EasyKey.

Analog Inputs

Flow Command: This is the positive side of the 0 – 10

Vdc signal. (See Common under

Digital Inputs , page

59.) This input corresponds to the Flow Range setting in

Advanced Setup Screen 5 , page 44.

For example, if the setting is 0 – 300 cc/min, the 0 Vdc analog input is 0 cc/min, therefore the 10 Vdc analog input is 300 cc/min.

Modbus and I/O Data

Modbus and I/O Data

See Table 10 and Table 11 for Modbus register

addresses and input/output data.

Reference the Discrete I/O listing of all the inputs and

outputs (see page 75). Ensure these are fully under-

stood. The same implementation used for Discrete I/O is used for the Network communication protocol.

For example: The Gun Trigger Input will now be a specific bit of Modbus Register 40040. Monitoring of Modbus Register 40041 for specific output status conditions will be required as explained in the Discrete I/O section of the ProMix Operation manual. The PLC will have to read the various bits, and in some cases (40040 and

40041 for example) must mask out the various bit positions to determine each of the separate input and output statuses. This requires experience and should not be done on the job site. A full understanding of the color change process as well as the required timing of various inputs and outputs is required.

NOTE: Analog input for flow control set point will now be a dedicated Modbus register. Register 40137 will require the specific flow rate (i.e. 125 cc/min). This is not a voltage reading but the actual flow target.

material where it left off. Do not toggle the Mix bit; doing so restarts the Mix process from the beginning.

Color Change Process

See F IG

. 74, Table 5, and Table 6.

1.

Verify that Mix Ready is set. This ensures that there are no alarms and that the system is ready for the next command.

2.

Load ccNewRecipe (Modbus 40046) with a recipe number to color change to.

3.

Set color change (40040 bit 6).

4.

Verify that Purge_CC_Active is seen (40041 bit 0).

5.

Clear color change bit (momentary only).

6.

Do not change the ccNewRecipe value until a new recipe change is requested.

7.

The color change process will stop automatically as programmed. Monitor Purge_CC_Active bit for completion.

Start Mix Process

See F IG

. 71, Table 5, and Table 6.

1.

Verify that the Mix Ready bit (bit 2 of 40041) is on.

2.

Turn on the Mix bit (bit 7 of 40040).

3.

Verify that the Mix Active bit (bit 1 of 40041) is on, to ensure that the Mix request was received.

Stop Mix Process

See F IG

. 72, Table 5, and Table 6.

1.

Clear the Mix bit.

2.

The Mix Active output should clear and Mix Ready should now be set.

NOTE: The ProMix will automatically go into Idle mode after 2 minutes of inactivity. A general alarm will be present and Mix Active will remain High. The Alarm bit

(40010) will indicate the system Idle alarm. When a new

Gun Trigger input is seen, the ProMix will resume mixing

Purge Process

See F IG

. 73, Table 5, and Table 6.

1.

Verify that Mix Ready is set. This ensures that there are no alarms and that the system is ready for the next command.

2.

Set purge (40040 bit 8).

3.

Verify that Purge_CC_Active is seen (40041 bit 0).

4.

When Purge_CC_Active bit clears, clear

Purge_Start bit. Clearing this bit in the middle of a purge sequence will abort the purge sequence.

NOTE : It only requires three Modbus registers to provide full communications from the PLC to the ProMix. All other registers are on a need to view and monitor basis.

Modbus and I/O Data

Typical PLC Interaction with

ProMix

This section describes a typical interaction when a local

PLC is directly connected to the Discrete I/O connections of the ProMix.

See

ProMix Integration Specifics on page 56 for a

detailed explanation of inputs and outputs.

NOTE:

Communications fields of Configure Screen 6 must be set to DISCRETE (see page 38).

Start Mixing

To start the mix process, the PLC will monitor and ensure the Mix_Ready output is High. This provides assurance it is ready to mix. PLC will drive High the Mix-

_Start input, keep it High and monitor the Mix_Active output to ensure the ProMix followed through on the request.

Stop Mixing

To stop mixing (to perform a purge or color change), remove the Mix_Start input (the status bar on the

EasyKey will show STANDBY). Monitor the Mix_Ready output to ensure the Mix_Active output goes Low.

Color Change

To perform a color change, ensure there are no alarms

(except the Potlife Alarm). If alarms are present, the

Alarm_Reset input should be sent momentarily to clear the alarm (>100 msec).

NOTE: Alarm_Reset will not reset a Potlife alarm. Only dispensing the Potlife Volume or a complete

Purge/Color Change will reset a Potlife alarm.

The Alarm Reset Input will silence the audible alarm.

Turn the Color_Change_Start input on momentarily

(>100 msec) while the proper sequence of recipe bits are set.

NOTE: The Recipe Bits must be presented at least 100 msec before the Color Change Start input is turned on and remain until a new recipe is required.

During the short On state, the recipe will be read from this binary sequence and the status bar of the EasyKey will display COLOR CHANGE XX. The Purge_CC_Active output will be High for the duration of the color change purge process. During the Mixed Material Load portion at the end of the Color Change sequence, the

Fill_Active output will be on, indicating that portion of the color change. These will not be on at the same time.

Once the Mix_Ready output goes High with no alarms, then the PLC has assurance that the requested color change has taken place with the requested recipe being the current active recipe. If any error occurs during the process, the requested recipe will not be loaded, and the old recipe will remain active.

NOTE: It is not possible to read the active recipe through Discrete I/O alone. Only by monitoring networked registers through the Gateway is it possible to view the active recipe. Proper management of the alarm status outputs during the color change process will ensure the active recipe is what is expected.

Purge

To start a Purge (no color change), drive the

Purge_Start input High (maintained) while ensuring Mix-

_Ready output is High (ensuring no active alarms). An

exception is Potlife alarm (see Color Change above if

alarms are present.) The Purge_CC_Active output is

High for the entire Purge process. Ensure there are no alarms during this process. Fill_Active is High when Mix is on. When complete, Mix _Ready output will be High, indicating a completed purge.

NOTE: No change is made to the active recipe.

Gun Trigger Input

This input is sent and expected every time the gun is actually triggered, and this input is turned off when the gun is not triggered. Never tie this input with any other signal. Without this input, some critical mixing alarms are eliminated.

IMPORTANT: This input must be provided through Discrete I/O for integrated flow control applications, to ensure fast coordination with the flow control process.

Applications without flow control can use Gun Trigger input through Network Communications or Discrete I/O.

NOTE: The Gun Trigger input has the same effect as the air flow switch used on manual ProMix systems.

76 312779G

Modbus and I/O Data

Alarm Monitoring/Reset (Discrete I/O)

Anytime an alarm occurs, the Alarm Reset input will reset the alarms and allow for processing of the next step by automation, except for the following conditions:

• Potlife Alarms cannot be reset by the Alarm Reset input or through the EasyKey Alarm Reset key. Only a Purge/Color Change or spraying the

Potlife volume will reset a Potlife alarm. (See

Alarm_Potlife output information on page 61.)

• When Flow Control is turned on (see

Configure

Screen 5 on page 38), the Flow_Rate_Alarm output

will be High when the instantaneous flow rate is above or below the Flow Rate tolerance setting.

(High Flow or Low Flow will be the condition, indicating in the status bar of the EasyKey.) This output will be High along with the Mix_Active output. The

PLC should monitor the amount of time this condition exists and take action at a predetermined time.

With Flow Control there will be times (for example during flow rate changes) where the general alarm as described here will be High (typically momentarily). The PLC must read this Alarm output (i.e. general alarm), see if Mix_Active is still High, and if so, start a timer. A typical example would be to ensure all parts are sprayed within a specific flow rate range. A maximum predetermined time would be set to allow a Low or High flow condition to exist continuously.

• Shutdown or go to Standby after the flow rate alarm time expires.

Job_Complete Input

Every time a momentary Job_Complete input is seen by the ProMix, a job log will be recorded, logging the A and

B meter volumes (cc) with a time and date stamp. The volumes will then be reset to 0. (Volume totals are accumulated since the last reset.)

NOTE: A Color Change accomplishes the same Job

Complete Reset functions. The Job_Complete input is commonly used to record material usage for a specific set of parts. These volumes are sprayed material volumes.

For Applications with Dump Valves (for quick purges/color changes at or near the gun):

ProMix has four specials that can each be turned off and on twice throughout a color change sequence. See

Advanced Setup Screen 8 on page 46 or

Recipe

Setup Screen 7 on page 51.

For example, a dump valve at a gun on a robot could be opened at the appropriate times to facilitate fast color changes. Another output could be used to automatically drive an air-operated fluid regulator High during the

Purge or Color Change process.

NOTE: With integrated Flow Control, the flow control regulator automatically is driven High. See

Advanced

Setup Screen 5 on page 44 for specifics on setting up

these values. Each of the specials can be monitored, but can only be controlled through the times entered within the setup screens of the EasyKey or by managing the proper registers on the network.

The following ProMix inputs should never be on (High) at the same time:

• Mix_Start

• Purge_Start

• Color_Change_Start

The Recipe Bits (0-6) are always on at the same time.

The only time these bits are recognized is when the Color_Change_Start input is High. The Recipe Bits should be loaded and stay loaded for the current recipe. Do not change the Recipe Bits until a color change is required again. Inconsistent results are possible if this is not followed.

Integrated Flow Control

Flow Control Description

Flow control is an optional feature which incorporates an intrinsically safe regulator control module with the Pro-

Mix automatic system. Flow control precisely regulates the flow of material to a manual or automatic air spray gun, to help ensure adequate coverage and avoid sags or runs in the finish coat.

NOTE: Flow control cannot be selected with dynamic dosing. It is not for use with air-assisted or airless spray guns.

Flow control uses the existing flow meters in a wall mounted fluid station or a RoboMix fluid station. There is no flow meter in the mixed material line.

Fluid and Air Pressure

Requirements

The fluid input pressure to the fluid regulator must be high enough to provide a 15-20 psi (0.1-0.14 MPa,

1.0-1.4 bar) pressure differential across the regulator at the highest flow setting. For example, if the maximum flow rate set point is 280 cc/min and 35 psi outlet pressure is required to achieve that flow, the input pressure must be 50-55 psi.

Required air pressure to the flow control module is

70-100 psi (0.35-0.7 MPa, 3.5-7.0 bar).

NOTE:

• For flow control modules 249849 and 24H989 used with a 1:1 fluid regulator, the fluid outlet pressure from the regulator must be between 5-75 psi

(0.034-0.52 MPa, 0.34-5.2 bar) for all flow set points. Flow rate set points with pressures outside this range are not achievable. There must be at least 5 psi (0.034 MPa, 0.34 bar) fluid pressure at the lowest flow rate.

• If flow control module 24H989 is used with a fluid regulator at a ratio greater than 1:1, the relationship of air pressure to fluid outlet pressure is very important. The lowest recommended air pressure from the

V/P is 5 psi (0.034 MPa, 0.34 bar). Back pressure may be required to ensure minimal fluid pressure at the lowest flow rate setpoint.

The turn down ratio of the typical fluid regulator is approximately 3:1 or 4:1, depending on material type and viscosity. For example, if the lowest flow rate required is 100 cc/min, the top flow rate achievable may be 300-400 cc/min.

NOTE: The top flow rate is not the maximum flow rate range selected.

Flow Control Operation

See F IG . 86 for module 249849 and F IG . 87 for module

24H989. The Flow Control System includes two information loops:

• The pressure loop monitors fluid pressure with the pressure sensor in the module. This allows the system to react very quickly to set point changes.

While the gun is not triggered the system still drives to the pressure determined from the data table from the flow rate set point. This pressure drive will operate for the amount of time set in the “GT-Off drive time” value in the Advanced Screen. This screen can be accessed and the setting modified while Flow Control is set to “On:

Setup” in Configure Screen 5 , page 38.

The target pressure when the gun trigger is off can be adjusted using the “GT-Off target rise” value in the

Advanced Setup Screen 7 , page 45. This amount is

added to the value from the data table. This may compensate for the immediate pressure drop at the gun when the gun trigger is opened. Adjust for gun triggers at the lowest flow rates.

• The flow loop monitors fluid flow through flow meter pulses, ensuring accuracy. The gun must be triggered during the flow loop.

The Flow Control System creates a data table that targets a desired flow rate based on the fluid pressure. It then monitors the flow loop to maintain the flow rate.

The data table update performance can be modified

using the “Learn Strength” value in Advanced Setup

Screen 6 , page 45. This determines how much of the

instantaneous flow error value is applied when updating the table. High values make it learn more quickly, but may lead to oscillation. Low values make it learn more slowly, but may make adjustment times unacceptable.

Flow Control Operating Process Example

Operating Ranges

Flow Control operating ranges correlate the desired flow rate to the incoming flow set point signal (see below).

The operating ranges are:

• 0-300 cc/min

• 0-600 cc/min

• 0-1200 cc/min

• 0-100% (% open in manual override mode)

In this example, the range is set to 0-300 cc/min and the target flow rate is 150 cc/min.

Step 1: Flow Set Point Input Signal

Discrete Input

A discrete signal is 0-10Vdc, which corresponds linearly to the set operating range. For example, if the set range is 0-300 cc/min and the desired flow rate is 150 cc/min, the ProMix receives a flow rate setpoint (5Vdc signal) from the PLC or robot.

Network Communication Input

A network communication signal is either the desired flow rate (150 cc/min in this example) or the % open.

Step 2: Pressure Loop

NOTE: The gun must be triggered during the pressure loop.

See F IG . 88 for module 249849 and F IG . 89 for module

24H989. The ProMix drives the system to the necessary pressure to meet the desired flow rate (150 cc/min). The pressure sensor in the module verifies the actual pressure and returns the reading back to the ProMix.

Step 3: Flow Loop

NOTE: The gun must be triggered during the flow loop.

The flow meters verify that the target flow rate is achieved and feeds this information back to the ProMix.

The ProMix adjusts the voltage to the V/P to maintain the actual flow.

Step 2 and Step 3 repeat continuously to maintain pressure and flow.

Flow Control Setup

1.

Install the intrinsically safe flow regulator (FC) as explained in the ProMix Installation Manual.

2.

Ensure that the analog signal is 0-10 Vdc, or is properly provided through network communication.

3.

Calibrate the system’s flow meters; see page 115.

This ensures that the K-factors are tuned to the range of materials being used.

4.

Verify that the I/O inputs are working properly. If

using discrete I/O, check by viewing Advanced

Setup Screen 6

and

Advanced Setup Screen 7 , page 45. If using network communication, ensure

the commands are being sent by viewing the

4.

On the

Manual Override Screen

, drive the regulator to a percentage open that starts fluid flow. Fluid pressure should be above 5 psi (0.034 MPa, 0.34

bar) [see the Status Screen ]. Observe the fluid flow

rate at this pressure. This is the achievable low end flow rate for the system’s given restriction. If a lower flow rate is required, increase the restriction between the flow control regulator and the spray gun.

NOTE: If the lowest flow rate achieved is well below 5 psi (0.034 MPa, 0.34 bar), add restriction to achieve fluid pressure closer to 5 psi. Pressures below 5 psi can be inconsistent.

5.

Drive the regulator to 100% open. This is the maximum achievable flow rate based on the low flow requirement and the flow control module’s functional range.

6.

When an acceptable operating range is achieved, turn Flow Control Override Off.

One-Point Learning

For situations where there are fast gun triggers (less than 2 seconds) there may not be enough stable flow data to allow the flow loop to learn. This situation is also affected by low flow rates (less than 100 cc/min).

If the job sequence contains an extended gun trigger time, instead of learning at individual flow rates the system can instead learn only points above a specified flow rate, which are then linearly interpolated between that point and the (0 Pressure, 0 Flow) origin of the data table.

One-Point Learning Example

Suppose a part has a spray sequence of:

The system won’t be able to learn the points at 50 and

65 cc/min. However, there is enough data to learn at the

150 cc/min set point.

If the “One-Point threshold” in the

Advanced Setup

Screen 6 , page 45 is set to a flow rate such as 100

cc/min, then learning is disabled for flow rates below this. However, when the 150 cc/min pass is active, when the point is learned the linear interpolation is applied for the entire flow rate range.

Flow Control Calibration

Flow Control Calibration is an automatic routine that establishes a pressure vs flow profile between low and

high operating points. See F IG . 99. The profile may be

unique to each recipe or may be globally copied to all recipes.

NOTE: Calibration cannot be done in recipe 0 or 61.

7.

On the Status Screen (see F

8.

When calibration is complete, the Status Screen

will change from Mix Calibration to Mix. The unit should have built a complete table for the flow rate

range selected in step 2.

NOTE: If the voltage reached 3.3 V (flow control wide open) but the unit did not reach the top of the selected flow rate range, the delivery system is not providing enough volume. Do one of the following:

• If the volume is acceptable, change the flow rate range accordingly.

92 312779G

Integrated Flow Control

• If the volume is not acceptable, increase the delivery pressure. Increasing the pressure may affect your low flow rate setting.

9.

De-trigger the gun.

10. Set Manual Override to Standby.

11. To copy the data table to all recipes, see

Global FC

Data Copy , page 93. This loads a starting point for

each recipe, and continuous learning will create a unique data table when the recipe is run.

When changing recipes, the profile is saved to the current active recipe. A Job Complete input will also save the profile to the active recipe.

Setting Ki and Kp

F IG . 102 shows the definition and relationship between

Ki and Kp.

• The default value for Ki is 40.

• The default value for Kp is 400.

For most applications, Ki and Kp do not need to change.

Do not change these vallues unless you are sure it is required.

Before adjusting these values, ensure that the input fluid pressure to the regulator is pulsation free, and the outlet pressure is higher than 12 psi (.08 MPa, 0.84 bar) for each flow rate set point.

Applications with viscosities less than 20 cps or greater than 300 cps may require that the Ki and Kp be adjusted. Do this by making small variable changes to

the values in Advanced Setup Screen 5

. See F IG . 101.

Pressure Flow Control Mode

When the Flow Control Override is set to “Pressure”, the system will only drive to the pressure associated with the flow rate request of the saved calibration table. It will not close the loop with the flow meters.

This mode may be used with a ProMix connected both to a robot with flow control and to a manual gun.

Because there are two flow paths, the meters cannot be used to close the flow loop. Therefore the robot can run a calibration by itself. When calibration is complete, set to “Pressure.” The robot will run in open loop mode, and the manual gun can spray at the same time.

Kp refers to the speed at which fluid flow reaches its set point.

Flow Control Troubleshooting

Problem: Flow Command does not produce fluid output.

Test the system as follows, to determine if the problem is mechanical or electrical.

1.

Install a 0-100 psi (0-0.7 MPa, 0-7.0 bar), 1/8 npt(m) air pressure gauge (not supplied) as follows.

a.

For module 249849: Remove the plug from the

1/8 npt(f) air gauge port and install the gauge.

See F IG . 84 on page 85.

b.

For module 24H989: Install a 1/8 npt(m) x 1/8 npt (fbe) tee in the air outlet port. Install the gauge in one branch of the tee and the air outlet

fitting in the other. See F IG . 85 on page 85.

2.

Set the system to Manual Override, % Open mode;

see steps 2-5 under

Integrated Flow Control

Result of the Test

Gauge reading increases and decreases as % Open value is changed and fluid flow does not change or is not present.

Gauge reading does not increase and decrease as % Open value is changed.

Cause

The problem is mechanical:

• restriction/plugged hose

• plugged gun tip

• fluid regulator failure

The problem is electrical:

• Fuse F2 is blown

• disconnected wires or cables

• pressure control failure

• V/P valve failure

• flow control board failure

Solution

1.

Clear any clogs.

2.

Remove restrictions.

3.

Clean and/or repair fluid regulator.

1.

Measure the voltage to the regulator at one of two places:

• At J5 on the fluid control board, measure across the white (pin 1) and black (pin 6) wire connections. The voltage should be in the range of

0-3.3 Vdc for 0%-100% Open command (approximately

1.65 Vdc for 50% Open).

• At J2 on the flow control board of the module, measure across the red (pin 1) and black (pin 2) wire connections. The voltage should be in the range of 0-21 Vdc for 0%-100% Open command (approximately 12 Vdc for 50% Open).

2.

If voltage is not present, check if fuse F2 on the fluid control board is blown.

3.

If voltage is present, ensure the cable is properly connected to the module circuit board.

4.

If cable is properly connected, replace pressure control, VP valve, and flow control board sequentially to isolate failure.

1.

The system enters and loads the desired color.

2.

The system enters Mix mode to begin operation.

3.

The ProMix controller sends signals to activate the solenoid valves. The solenoid valves activate Dose

Valves A and B. Fluid flow begins when the Gun

Trigger input is seen.

4.

Components A and B are introduced into the fluid integrator (FI) one at a time as follows. a.

Dose Valve A (DVA) opens, and fluid flows into the integrator. b.

Flow Meter A (MA) monitors the fluid volume dispensed and sends electrical pulses to the

ProMix controller. The controller monitors these pulses and signals. c.

When the target volume dispenses, Dose Valve

A closes.

NOTE: The dispense volume of component A and B is based on the mix ratio and dose size set by the user and calculated by the ProMix controller.

d.

Dose Valve B (DVB) opens, and fluid flows into the integrator and is aligned proportionately with component A. e.

Flow Meter B (MB) monitors the fluid volume dispensed and sends electrical pulses to the

ProMix controller.

f.

When the target volume is dispensed, Dose

Valve B closes.

5.

The components are pre-mixed in the integrator, then uniformly blended in the static mixer (SM).

NOTE: To control output from the static mixer to the gun, install an optional fluid pressure regulator.

6.

Components A and B are alternately fed into the integrator as long as the Gun Trigger input is seen.

System Operation

General Operating Cycle, Dynamic Dosing

Overview

Dynamic Dosing provides on-demand proportioning, eliminating the need for an integrator and therefore minimizing undesired material contact. This feature is especially useful with shear-sensitive and waterborne materials.

A restrictor injects component B into a continuous stream of component A. The software controls the dura-

tion and frequency of each injection. See F IG . 105 for a

schematic diagram of the process.

Dynamic Dosing System Parameters

The following parameters affect dynamic dosing performance:

• Component A Flow: Ensure that the supply pump is sized to provide sufficient and uninterrupted flow.

Note that component A provides majority of system flow at higher mix ratios.

• Component B Flow: Ensure that the supply pump is sized to provide sufficient and uninterrupted flow.

• Component A Pressure: Ensure precise pressure regulation. It is recommended that the component A pressure be 5-15% lower than the component B pressure.

• Component B Pressure: Ensure precise pressure regulation. It is recommended that the component B pressure be 5-15% higher than the component A pressure.

NOTE: When using dynamic dosing it is very important to maintain a constant, well-regulated fluid supply. To obtain proper pressure control and minimize pump pulsation, install a fluid regulator on the A and B supply lines upstream of the meters. In systems with color change, install the regulator downstream of the color/catalyst valve stack.

If component B pressure is too high, it will push the component A stream aside during B injection. The valve will not open long enough, causing a High Ratio alarm.

If component B pressure is too low, it will not be injected in sufficient volume. The valve will stay open too long, causing a Low Ratio alarm.

Selecting the correct component B restrictor size and balancing the A/B pressures will keep the system in the proper pressure range, resulting in a consistent mix ratio.

F IG . 110 shows the A to B pressure balance, read at the

proportioner inlet. It is recommended that the component B pressure be 5-15% higher than the component A pressure to keep the system in the control range, hold the proper mix ratio, and obtain properly mixed material.

If pressures are not balanced (“B Pressure Too High” or

“B Pressure Too Low”), it may not be possible to hold the desired mix ratio. The system will generate an off ratio alarm and stop operation.

NOTE: In multi-flow rate systems, it is recommended that you set up the system to run properly at the highest flow rate, to ensure adequate fluid supply across the flow rate range.

In dynamic dosing, component A dose valve is constantly on. Component B dose valve will cycle on and off; one cycle every 0.5 – 1.0 seconds indicates proper balance.

Monitor system performance by watching the EasyKey display for warning messages which provide information on system performance, and adjust pressures accordingly. See Table 15 on page 103.

7.

Do not exceed the maximum rated working pressure shown on the system identification label or the lowest rated component in the system.

8.

Open the fluid supply valves to the system.

9.

Adjust the air pressure. Most applications require about 80 psi (552 kPa, 5.5 bar) air pressure to operate properly. Do not use less than 75 psi (517 kPa, 5.2 bar).

10. Purge air from the fluid lines.

11. Adjust the flow rate.

The fluid flow rate shown on the EasyKey Status screen is for either component A or B, depending on which dose valve is open. The fluid supply lines on the screen highlight to show which dose valve is open.

F IG . 115. Status Screen Flow Rate Display

Watch the fluid flow rate displayed on the Status screen while the gun is fully open. Verify that the flow rate of components A and B are within 10% of each other.

If the fluid flow rate is too low: increase air pressure to component A and B fluid supplies or increase the regulated fluid pressure.

If the fluid flow rate is too high: reduce the air pressure, close the fluid manifold dose valves further, or adjust the fluid pressure regulator.

NOTE: Pressure adjustments of each component will vary with fluid viscosity. Start with the same fluid pressure for component A and B, then adjust as needed.

NOTE: Do not use the first 4-5 oz. (120-150 cc) of material as it may not be thoroughly mixed due to alarms while priming the system.

12. Turn on atomizing air to the gun. Check the spray pattern as instructed in your spray gun manual.

NOTE: Do not allow a fluid supply tank to run empty. It is possible for air flow in the supply line to turn gear meters in the same manner as fluid. This can lead to the proportioning of fluid and air that meets the ratio and tolerance settings of the equipment. This can further result in spraying uncatalyzed or poorly catalyzed material.

Read Warnings , page 9. Follow the

Grounding instructions in your system Installation manual.

To avoid splashing fluid in the eyes, wear eye protection.

There are 4 purging procedures in this manual:

Purging Mixed Material

(below)

Purging Using Recipe 0 (page 111)

Purging Fluid Supply System (page 111)

Purging Sampling Valves and Tubes (page 112)

Use the criteria listed in each procedure to determine which procedure to use.

Purging Mixed Material

There are times when you only want to purge the fluid manifold, such as:

• end of potlife

• breaks in spraying that exceed the potlife

• overnight shutdown

• before servicing the fluid manifold assembly, hose or gun.

Solvent purges the component B (catalyst, right) side of the mix manifold and the inner tube of the integrator. Air purges the component A (resin, left) side and the outer tube of the integrator.

1.

Go to Standby mode (remove Mix input).

2.

Set the solvent supply pressure regulator at a pressure high enough to completely purge the system in a reasonable amount of time but low enough to avoid splashing or an injection injury. Generally, a setting of 100 psi (0.7 MPa, 7 bar) is sufficient.

3.

If using a gun flush box, place the gun into the box and close the lid. Go to Purge mode. The purge sequence automatically starts.

If the gun flush box is not used, trigger the gun (manual or automatic) into a grounded metal pail until the purge sequence is complete.

When done purging, the EasyKey automatically switches to Standby mode.

4.

If the system is not completely clean, repeat step 3.

NOTE: If necessary, adjust purge sequence so only one cycle is required.

Trigger the gun to relieve pressure. Engage trigger lock.

5.

If spray tip was removed, reinstall it.

6.

Adjust the solvent supply regulator back to its normal operating pressure.

Trigger the gun to relieve pressure.

If you are using a high pressure gun, engage the trigger lock. Remove spray tip and clean tip separately.

If using an electrostatic gun shut off the electrostatics before flushing the gun.

110 312779G

System Operation

Solvent Push Feature

The Solvent Push feature enables the user to save some mixed material by pushing it out to the gun with solvent. The quantity saved is 50% of the potlife volume entered in

Advanced Setup Screen 1 on page 42. If

there are 2 guns, the smaller potlife volume is used.

Solvent Push requires an accessory solvent meter (MS).

Order Graco Part No. 16D329 S3000 Solvent Meter Kit.

See manual 308778.

1.

See F IG . 121. Install the solvent meter (MS) on the side of the fluid station, as explained in the ProMix

Installation Manual.

2.

To enable Solvent Push, select “Solvent” or “3rd

Valve,” as desired. See Option Screen 2 , page 40.

NOTE: If you are using a 3rd purge valve instead of the solvent purge valve to run the Solvent Push feature, connect the solvent supply line from the solvent meter to the inlet of the 3rd purge valve.

NOTE : The system must be in Mix to initiate Solvent

Push.

3.

Press and hold the Mix key for 5 seconds to turn on Solvent Push. The green Mix LED will light and the Recipe LED will blink. The system will close the Dose Valves (DVA, DVB) and open the

Solvent Purge Valve (SPV).

4.

The system will dispense solvent to push the mixed material out to the gun. The Booth Control display alternately shows dashes and the percent remaining

(0-99%) of the 50% of the potlife volume.

NOTE: To manually interrupt Solvent Push, press the

Standby key. The Solvent Purge Valve (SPV) or

3rd purge valve will close. To re-enter Solvent Push, press the Mix key.

5.

When the total solvent dispensed exceeds 50% of the potlife volume, the system will go into Standby

mode.

6.

Perform a manual purge or recipe change to purge the remaining mixed material. This will clear the system out of Solvent Push, allowing you to resume

Mix mode.

NOTE: Once the system senses that solvent exceeds

50% of potlife volume, attempts to re-enter Solvent

Push will cause an Overdose_A/B Alarm (E-5, E-6).

Meter Calibration

Meter Calibration

To avoid splashing fluid in the eyes, wear eye protection. The fluid shutoff valves and ratio check valves are retained by mechanical stops that prevent accidental removal of the valve stem while the manifold is pressurized. If you cannot turn the valve stems manually, relieve the system pressure, then disassemble and clean the valve to remove the resistance.

Calibrate the meter:

• The first time the system is operated.

• Whenever new materials are used in the system, especially if the materials have viscosities that differ significantly.

• At least once per month as part of regular maintenance.

• Whenever a flow meter is serviced or replaced.

NOTE:

K-factors on the Calibration Screen are

updated automatically after the calibration procedure is completed.

• K-factor values on the screen are viewable only.

If needed, you can manually edit the K-factors

in Advanced Setup Screen 4 (see page 44) or

Recipe Setup Screen 5 (page 50).

• All values on this screen are in cc, independent of the units set in

Configure Screen 1

.

• The controller will use the active recipe

K-factors for meter calibration. The active recipe must be recipe 1 to recipe 60. Recipes

0 and 61 do not have K-factor values .

1.

Before calibrating meter A or B, prime the system with material. For a color/catalyst change system, make sure the color/catalyst valve is open.

sources and set desired purge, chop, and fill times.

NOTES:

• The system uses old recipe data for the purge cycle.

However, it opens the new color/catalyst valve based on the new recipe data.

• The system uses the new recipe data for the fill cycle.

• For the one gun flush box (GFB) option, the spray gun must be inserted in the GFB during the entire color change cycle (purge and fill). The GFB trigger output will be on during the recipe change cycle.

• For the two gun flush box (GFB) option, both spray guns must be inserted in the GFBs during the entire color change cycle (purge and fill). The system will turn each GFB trigger output on and off based on the preset time for each gun.

• For Special Outputs options, the system will turn each output on and off based on the preset times.

Each Special Output has two different start times and durations.

• For systems without dump valves, the First Purge begins after the Color/Catalyst Change steps are completed.

• Dump Valve B is required for a Catalyst Change system.

• When going from Recipe X to Recipe 0, only the purge cycle data from Recipe 0 is used.

• When going from Recipe 0 to Recipe Y, only the fill cycle data from Recipe Y is used.

Color Change

Color Purge/Dump

• This sequence flushes out the color with solvent, from the color valve to the Dump A valve.

• The color change solvent valve and the Dump A valve open during the Purge Time.

• The color change solvent valve closes when the

Purge Time expires.

Color Fill

• This sequence fills the line with the new color all the way to the Dump A valve.

• The new color valve and the Dump A valve open during the Fill Time.

• The new color valve and the Dump A valve close when the Fill Time expires.

Catalyst Purge/Dump

• This sequence flushes out the catalyst with solvent, from the catalyst valve to the Dump B valve.

• The catalyst change solvent valve and the Dump B valve open during the Purge Time.

• The catalyst change solvent valve closes when the

Purge Time expires.

Catalyst Fill

• This sequence fills the line with the new catalyst all the way to the Dump B valve.

• The new catalyst valve and the Dump B valve open during the Fill Time.

• The new catalyst valve and the Dump B valve close when the Fill Time expires.

First Purge

Select the First Purge Source (air, solvent, or 3rd valve) and First Purge Time. For most applications, air is selected.

The system purges the old material from the dose valves to the gun, using only the selected purge media

(usually air). The selected purge valve opens during the

First Purge Time and closes when the time expires.

Chop Cycle

Select the Chop Type (air/solvent or air/3rd valve) and

Chop Times.

The air purge valve opens only during the air chop cycle, and the solvent (or 3rd valve) opens only during the solvent chop cycle. The number of chop cycles is determined by dividing the Total Chop Time by the sum of the Air and Solvent Chop Times.

Final Purge

Select the Final Purge Source (air, solvent, or 3rd valve) and Final Purge Time. For most applications, solvent is selected.

The system fills the line with solvent from the dose valves to the gun, using only the selected purge media

(usually solvent). The selected purge valve opens during the Final Purge Time and closes when the time expires.

Fill

This sequence fills the line from the dose valves to the gun, and is also referred to as the mixed material fill.

The system begins mixing components A and B until the

Fill Time expires.

Alarms and Warnings

Alarms and Warnings

NOTE: Do not use the fluid in the line that was dispensed off ratio as it may not cure properly.

System Alarms

System alarms alert you of a problem and help prevent off-ratio spraying. If an alarm occurs, operation stops and the following occurs:

Buzzer sounds (for E-2 only; see page 35 to set for

all alarms).

• Status bar on the EasyKey shows the alarm E-Code with a description (see Table 19).

System Warnings

Table 19 lists the System Warning Codes. Warnings do not stop operation or sound an alarm. They are saved in the date/time stamped log, which can be viewed on a

PC, using the ProMix Web Interface (see manual

313386).

To Reset Alarm and Restart

NOTE: When an alarm occurs be sure to determine the

E-Code before resetting it. See Table 19. If you forget which E-Code occurred, use the

Alarms Screen (page

30) to view the last 10 alarms, with date and time

stamps.

To reset alarms, see Table 20. Many alarms can be

cleared by simply pressing the Alarm Reset key.

Alarm Troubleshooting

Alarm Troubleshooting

Table 20. Alarm Troubleshooting

E-1: COMM ERROR

Cause Solution

No power to the EasyKey.

Connect power to EasyKey.

No power to Fluid Station. The intrinsically safe power cable between the EasyKey and Fluid Station is not connected.

Verify that the cable is correctly connected. See Installation manual.

No power to Fluid Station. The fluid control board fuse is blown.

Verify condition of fuse and replace if necessary. See

Repair-Parts manual.

The fiber optic cable between the EasyKey and Fluid

Station is not connected.

The fiber optic cable is cut or bent.

Dirty fiber optic cable ends.

A communication cable or connector failed.

E-2: POTLIFE ALARM

Verify that the cable is correctly connected. See Installation manual.

Verify that the cable has not been cut or bent at a radius smaller than 1.6 in. (40 mm).

Disconnect fiber optic cable ends and clean with a lint-free cloth.

Replace cable.

Cause Solution

The potlife time has been exceeded for the mixed material.

Press the Alarm Reset key to stop the audible alarm. Purge the system with solvent, fresh mixed material, or a new color:

NOTICE

To prevent mixed material from curing in the equipment, do not shut off power. Follow one of the solutions at right.

• Solvent Purge See

Purging Mixed Material on page 110. The system purges until the preset purge

time is complete.

• New Mixed Material Purge Go to Mix mode and spray the required volume to restart the timer.

• Color Change Perform a color change, see page

117.

Alarm Troubleshooting

Table 20. Alarm Troubleshooting (Continued)

E-3: RATIO HIGH ALARM

Sequential Dosing System

The mix ratio is higher than the set tolerance on the previous dose cycle.

Dynamic Dosing System

The mix ratio is higher than the set tolerance for an A to B component volume comparison.

Cause

There is too little restriction in the system.

Solution

Check that the system is fully loaded with material.

• Check that the supply pump’s cycle rate is set properly.

• Check that the spray tip/nozzle is properly sized for the flow and application, and that it is not worn.

• Check that the fluid regulator is set properly.

If the alarm occurs during start up, after purging, the flow rate was probably too high.

Restrict gun needle travel to slow down the initial fluid delivery rate until fluid hoses are loaded with material.

If the alarm occurred after you were spraying for some time, the pressures from the fluid supplies could be unbalanced.

A djust component A and B fluid supply regulator pressures until they are about equal. If the pressures are already about equal, verify that component A and B dose valves are operating properly.

Slow actuation of the component A or B valves. This can be caused by:

Manually operate the Dispense A and B solenoid valves as instructed in the ProMix Repair-Parts manual to check operation.

• Air pressure to the valve actuators is too low.

• Increase air pressure. Air pressure must be 75-120 psi (0.52-0.84 MPa, 5.2-8.4 bar); 120 psi is recommended.

• Something is restricting the solenoid or tubing and interrupting valve actuation air.

• A dose valve is turned in too far.

• Fluid pressure is high and air pressure is low.

There may be dirt or moisture in the air supply. Filter appropriately.

Refer to Table 16: Mix Manifold Valve Settings page 104, for adjustment guidelines.

,

• Adjust air and fluid pressure. See recommended air pressure above.

E-4: RATIO LOW ALARM

Sequential Dosing System

The mix ratio is lower than the set tolerance on the previous dose cycle.

Dynamic Dosing System

The mix ratio is lower than the set tolerance for an A to B component volume comparison.

Cause

There is too much restriction in the system.

Solution

Check that the system is fully loaded with material.

• Check that the supply pump’s cycle rate is set properly.

• Check that the spray tip/nozzle is properly sized for the flow and application, and that it is not clogged.

• Check that the fluid regulator is set properly.

If the alarm occurs during start up, after purging, the flow rate was probably too high.

Restrict gun needle travel to slow down the initial fluid delivery rate until fluid hoses are loaded with material.

If the alarm occurred after you were spraying for some time, the pressures from the fluid supplies could be unbalanced.

A djust component A and B fluid supply regulator pressures until they are about equal. If the pressures are already about equal, verify that component A and B dose valves are operating properly.

Slow actuation of the component A or B valves. This can be caused by:

Manually operate the Dispense A and B solenoid valves as instructed in the ProMix Repair-Parts manual to check operation.

• Air pressure to the valve actuators is too low.

• Increase air pressure. Air pressure must be 75-120 psi (0.52-0.84 MPa, 5.2-8.4 bar); 120 psi is recommended.

• Something is restricting the solenoid or tubing and interrupting valve actuation air.

• A dose valve is turned in too far.

• Fluid pressure is high and air pressure is low.

There may be dirt or moisture in the air supply. Filter appropriately.

Alarm Troubleshooting

Table 20. Alarm Troubleshooting (Continued)

E-5: OVERDOSE A/B DOSE TOO SHORT ALARM and

E-6: OVERDOSE B/A DOSE TOO SHORT ALARM

E-5: the A dose overshoots and, when combined with B, is too large for the mix chamber capacity.

E-6: the B dose overshoots and forces an A side dose that, when combined with B, is too large for the mix chamber capacity.

Cause Solution

Valve seal or needle/seat are leaking. Check

F IG . 17

Totals Screen on page 29. If A and B are dosing simul-

taneously (sequential dosing only), there is a leak.

Repair the valve (see valve manual 312782).

Sampling valve is leaking.

Tighten or replace valve.

Flow meter fluctuations caused by pressure pulsations.

Check for pressure pulsations:

Slow actuation of component A or B valves.

Running a high mix ratio and a high flow rate.

1.

Close all the manifold valves.

2.

Turn on the circulating pumps and all the booth equipment (such as fans and conveyors).

3.

Check if the ProMix is reading any fluid flow.

4.

If the ProMix shows there is fluid flow and there are no leaks from the gun or any other seals or fittings, the flow meters are probably being affected by pressure pulsations.

5.

Close the fluid shutoff valve between the fluid supply system and the flow meter. The flow indication should stop.

6.

If necessary, install pressure regulators or a surge tank on the fluid inlets to the ProMix to reduce the fluid supply pressure. Contact your Graco distributor for information.

See

E-3: RATIO HIGH ALARM

and E-4: RATIO LOW

ALARM , pages 133-134.

It may be necessary to restrict the flow rate through the component B dose valve by adjusting its hex nut (E).

See page 103.

Alarm Troubleshooting

Table 20. Alarm Troubleshooting (Continued)

E-7: DOSE TIME A ALARM and E-8: DOSE TIME B ALARM

E-7: gun trigger input is active (AFS or Integration) and fewer than 31 A meter pulses were detected during the dose time selected.

E-8: gun trigger input is active (AFS or Integration) and fewer than 31 B meter pulses were detected during the dose time selected.

Cause Solution

System is in Mix mode and gun is only partially triggered, allowing air but no fluid to pass through gun.

Fully trigger the gun.

Fluid flow rate is too low.

Dose time setting is too short for the current flow rate.

Flow meter or cable failed or flow meter clogged.

Increase flow rate.

Increase the dose time setting.

To check meter sensor operation, remove meter cap to expose sensor. Pass a ferrous metal tool in front of the sensor.

TI12792a

Slow actuation of component A or B valves.

The supply pump is not turned on.

System is in Mix mode with 0 volume entered for Min

Material Fill Volume (see Option Screen 1 , page 39),

and Fuse F1 is blown.

If there is a meter or cable failure, you will see a large difference between the amount of fluid dispensed and the flow meter volume displayed by the EasyKey. Clean or repair meter as necessary. Also see meter manual

308778.

Follow

Meter Calibration procedure, page 115.

See E-3: RATIO HIGH ALARM

and

E-4: RATIO LOW

E-9: Not used

E-10: REMOTE STOP ALARM

Cause Solution

Automation has requested that the system abort all operations.

Abort operations. Troubleshoot automation system.

E-11: PURGE VOLUME ALARM

Cause Solution

ProMix solvent flow switch is not activated while purging. Verify that the gun is not shut off and that the solvent flow switch is activated while purge is taking place.

Minimum flush volume is not achieved.

Increase solvent supply or decrease minimum volume setting.

No meter pulses during Color/Catalyst Dump.

Color change solvent supply not set up or functional.

Check Color Change setup.

312779G 137

Alarm Troubleshooting

Table 20. Alarm Troubleshooting (Continued)

E-12: CAN COMM ERROR ALARM

Cause Solution

Communication between the Color Change Module and the Fluid Station is interrupted.

• Verify that all cables are connected securely and that the Color Change power LED turns on. If the power

LED does not turn on, the problem is probably caused by a bad connection. The nut on the connector must make at least 5 complete turns to ensure a good connection. If the power LED still does not light, the cable or board is bad.

• Check the color change board DIP switch settings.

See the Installation manual.

• Check the fluid plate board DIP switch setting. An incorrect setting will not cause E-12 alarms, but a correct setting will help prevent E-12 caused by electrical noise. See the Installation manual.

• Check EasyKey software version (displayed at power up for all versions and when the lock key is pressed for version 2.02.000 and above). If older than 1.06.002, upgrade. Be sure to save settings through BWI or AWI before upgrading, as they will be erased.

• The sticker on the color change board shows the software part number and version, for example

15T270 1.01. If the version is older than 1.01, replace the board.

• If all software versions and DIP switch settings are correct and you still have E-12 alarms, then the system has a bad connection, bad cable, or bad circuit board. Use a multimeter on the CAN connectors to test whether there is a good connection between systems. If there is, you have a bad circuit board. If there is not, you have a bad connector, connection, or cable.

• Appears on the EasyKey display if the unit is programmed for Manual Mode, and a booth control is not connected.

• The dip switch settings on the Color Change Control

Module were changed (see manual 312787) while the power was on. Cycle the power to clear the alarm.

• The dip switch configuration on the Color Change

Control Module (see manual 312787) is setup incorrectly.

Communication between the Color Change Module and the Fluid Station is interrupted. The fluid control board fuse is blown.

Verify condition of fuse and replace if necessary. See

Repair-Parts manual.

138 312779G

Alarm Troubleshooting

Table 20. Alarm Troubleshooting (Continued)

E-13: HIGH FLOW ALARM or E-14: LOW FLOW ALARM (may also be set as Warnings)

Cause Solution

Fluid system is producing too much or too little flow.

Troubleshoot fluid system for restrictions, leaks, exhausted fluid supply, incorrect settings, etc. Increase or decrease flow rate, as required.

E-15: SYSTEM IDLE WARNING

Cause Solution

Mix input is high, but the gun has not been triggered for 2 minutes.

If not painting, clear alarm and resume operation.

If painting, shut down and inspect fluid meter.

E-16: SETUP CHANGE WARNING

Cause

The system setup parameters have been changed.

Solution

312779G 139

Alarm Troubleshooting

Table 20. Alarm Troubleshooting (Continued)

E-19: I/O ALARM

Cause Solution

The Mix and Purge digital inputs are on at the same time. Ensure that only one input is on at a time. At least 1 sec delay is required when switching from Mix to Purge or vice versa.

NOTE: The I/O alarm incorporates several sub-alarms relating to internal data issues, as detailed below. These alarms are only seen in the Alarm log or through BWI or AWI, and may not apply to all software versions.

FP Reboot (Fluid Plate Reboot): Occurs if the system detects a fluid plate control board reboot or power cycle not triggered from the EasyKey. The system reverts to

Recipe 61, and mixed material may be in the lines.

Flush the system or perform a color change. If possible, identify the origin of the reboot or power cycle.

Autokey Lost: Occurs if the Autokey is lost or changed after having been detected. (A short term loss of the

Autokey will not be registered.) Some system functions may become unavailable. For example, an automatic system will not respond to PLC or robot control.

Reinstall the Autokey, or verify that the Autokey is set properly.

Illegal Source: Occurs if a recipe outside of the range

1-60 is detected as the source data for global recipe data copies. This is possible if an invalid configuration file is sent to the EasyKey.

Verify that the source data is from a valid recipe (1-60).

2K/3K Error: Occurs if the recipe data is incompatible with the current Autokey setting (2K or 3K). This is possible if the Autokey is changed or an invalid configuration file is sent to the EasyKey.

Verify that the Autokey is set properly or that the configuration file is valid.

Init Error: Occurs if the recipe data codes specifying the type of machine they were made on are not what is expected. For example, a 3KS machine receives a configuration file originally made on a 2KS machine.

Verify that the configuration file is valid.

Config Error: Occurs if a configuration file sent to the

EasyKey specifies a different hardware setup than what exists. For example, the configuration file specifies 2 color change boards but only 1 is present.

Verify that the configuration file specifications and the hardware conform.

Verify that the recipe specifications and the hardware conform.

Range Error: Occurs if a valve used in a recipe is not present in the current hardware setup. For example, a recipe calls for valve 30 but the system has only 12 valves.

LC Error (Level Control Error): Occurs if level control data is received by the EasyKey, and the current Autokey setting (2K or 3K) has changed since the level control data was originally initialized.

Verify that the Autokey is set properly.

LC Range Error (Level Control Range Error): Occurs if level control data includes a valve range exceeding the capability of the machine.

Set level control data correctly.

MB Overflow (Modbus Overflow): Occurs if the Modbus connection to a PLC experiences data overflow.

Verify the Modbus protocol to the EasyKey.

• Adjust fill volume.

• Adjust fill time.

For systems without color change and with minimum mixed material fill volume entered, Fuse F1 is blown.

Verify condition of fuse and replace if necessary. See

Repair-Parts manual.

E-22: TANK A LOW ALARM, E-23: TANK B LOW ALARM, or E-24: TANK S LOW ALARM

Cause

The tank volume reaches the low-level threshold.

Solution

The EasyKey screen will display the alarm and prompt the user to do one of the following:

• Refill tank volume to clear the alarm.

• Resume mixing by selecting “Spray 25% of remaining volume.” If this selection is chosen, a second alarm will occur after 25% of the remaining volume is mixed. Refill tank volume to clear the alarm.
