WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the dispensing device, hose leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body
and cause extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on
the skin can also cause serious injury.
Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate medical attention.
Do not point the dispensing device at anyone or at any part of the body.
Do not put hand or fingers over the front of the dispensing device.
Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 20 whenever you are instructed to: relieve pressure; stop dispensing; clean, check, or service the equipment; or install or clean a spray tip or
nozzle.
Tighten all the fluid connections before operating the equipment.
Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.
Always wear eye protection and protective clothing when installing, operating, or servicing this
dispensing equipment.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the
skin, swallowed, or inhaled.
Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using. Read the fluid manufacturer’s warnings.
Follow the fluid manufacturer’s recommendations.
Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of vapors from the fluid being dispensed.
Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state and national guidelines.
Wear the appropriate protective clothing, gloves, eyewear, and respirator.

unit that allows adequate space for installation,
service, and use of the equipment. See Fig. 2. If
you are using the remote display and the
Precision-Flo XL control unit witll be mounted
away from the operator, the robot controller must
be wired to the “Remote Start” and “Remote Stop”
functions. These are normally controlled by the
push buttons on the PrecisionFlo XL control unit.
See pages 89 and 94.
Mount the control unit so that the disconnect
handle is readily accessible and located
54–67 in. (1.4–1.7 m) above the floor.
For best viewing, the control display should be
60–64 in. (1.5–1.6 m) from the floor.
Ensure all fluid lines, cables, and hoses easily
reach the components they will be connected
to.
Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the
control unit to run fluid lines and cables to other
components.
Ensure there is safe and easy access to an
appropriate electrical power source. The National Electric Code requires 3 ft. (0.91 m) of
open space in front of the assembly enclosure.
Ensure the mounting surface can support the
weight of the control unit and the cables attached to it.
2. Secure the PrecisionFlo XL control unit with four

Calibrating Pressure
The PrecisionFlo XL system uses variables (Kp and
Ki) in the software calculations to accurately and
precisely control the fluid pressure and flow rate. The
control unit calculates Kp and Ki automatically during
pressure calibration. These values are different with
every material.
NOTE: The system must be loaded with material before calibrating pressure. The nozzle or tip should be
installed on the dispense device.

Kp value manually:
Increase Kp if the regulator outlet pressure does
not closely follow the desired pressure. Continue to
increase the Kp value by 10% increments until the
proper pressure control is achieved.
Decrease Kp if the regulator outlet pressure ascillates rapidly above and below the commanded
pressure. Continue to decrease the Kp value by
10% increments until the outlet pressure is stable.

How Flow Rate Calibration Works
1. Determines current flow rate.
2. Calculates the outlet pressure required to obtain
the flow rate value you entered.
3. Calculates a linear ratio of the robot analog input
voltage to the desired flow rate. Refer to Fig. 15.
4. Adjusts outlet pressure to maintain the desired
flow rate.
Setting Inlet Pressure
The inlet pressure reading should be in the range of
300 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar) to 500 psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar)
above the outlet pressure reading under your highest
flow condition.

Flow Rate Guide
Use the values in Table 5 as a guide to determine the
maximum flow rate to enter during flow rate calibration,
or enter the desired bead size and maximum robot
speed on the Flow Rate Calibration screen and PrecisionFlo XL will calculate the maximum flow rate for
you.
During material flow, your inlet pressure reading drops.
The amount the pressure drops is the amount of
pressure lost between the feed pump and the regulator
inlet. With high viscosity fluids or long line lengths, this
pressure drop can be thousands of psi (hundreds of
bar). This means that the static pump pressure is set
much higher than the regulator needs at its inlet. To
prevent excessive control regulator wear or surging, a
mastic fluid pressure regulator is recommended on the
feed line close to the control regulator. The mastic
regulator will suppress the static feed pressure at the
control regulator inlet.

Configuring Software
On/Off Delays
The PrecisionFlo XL regulator (or metering valve) can
physically respond faster than the dispense device and
its solenoid. As a result, the regulator can supply
material to the dispense device before the device has
time to open. Supplying material to a closed device
can create trapped-pressure.
At the end of a cycle, the dispense device can shut off
before the pressure has dissipated. This can cause a
dispense of an excess of material at the beginning of a
cycle.
To eliminate these two problems, you can change the
delay time associated with the opening of the regulator/metering valve and/or the closing of the dispense
device (Table 8).
In general, your outlet pressure on the screen during
“no flow” should be close to the outlet pressure during
dispense. If your dispense hose to the gun is creating
too much pressure drop during flow, you may want the
no flow reading to be lower. High trapped pressures
shorten the dispense device life.

Verifying Flow Meter Calibration
Verifying Flow Meter Calibration
Verification and Calibration
Most sealant and adhesive materials are compressible.
Since the flow meter is measuring the material under
high pressure, the actual volume of material dispensed
may vary slightly from the measured volume, due to
this compressibility. If the K-factor is not correct, the
displayed volume will not be accurate.
Follow this procedure to calibrate the flow meter(s)
during initial setup and on a routine basis to check for
flow meter wear.
Method 1. Using a gram scale
1. Obtain a beaker, 500 cc or larger, and measure
the mass of the empty beaker.
5. Calculate the new flow meter K-factor:
K–Factor (new) =
displayed volume (cc) x K–Factor (old)
measured volume (cc)
6. Enter new K-factor.
7. Go to step 1 and verify the new K-factor.
Method 2. Without using a gram scale, visual
measurement
1. Obtain a beaker, 500 cc or larger with measurement increments.
2. Manually dispense material into the beaker. Hold
the beaker so that the stream of material is submerged in the captured material. This is to minimize air entrapment in the container.

PrecisionFlo XL Remote Screen Interface
PrecisionFlo XL Remote Screen Interface
This section is applicable only if your system is configured to control one or more local stations from a single
remote TouchScreen. You can control up to 12 local
stations from the remote TouchScreen.
Setting Up Local Stations
Before you can communicate with the local stations,
you must enter the Ethernet physical address for each
active station. The physical address is found on the
sticker affixed to the Ethernet driver chip on the
PC/104 board (see Fig. 65). Write down the physical
address and station number for each local station you
will be using.
When your system is configured with a remote TouchScreen, the screen shown in Fig.66 appears when you
enter setup mode (key switch clockwise). To enter the
physical address for each local node, perform the
following steps.
1. With the system in setup mode, touch the physical
address field for the station you want to enter the
address for (Fig. 66).
2. The address entry keypad (Fig. 67) appears.
Touch the keys to enter the 12-character physical
address.
NOTE: Be sure to enter the physical address of the
local station and not the station that you are configuring (remote station). The physical address of the local
station is 12 characters with no spaces. Be sure to
enter these numbers correctly so the remote TouchScreen can communicate with the PrecisionFlo XL.

Operating from a Remote TouchScreen
When the PrecisionFlo XL key switch is turned to run
mode, the screen shown in Fig. 68 appears. Touch the
station number of a configured station to view and
control functions on that station. The button is dark for
an enabled station number. A station is enabled when
it is correctly configured and is communicating properly
with the remote station. If a station button should be
enabled is not, check the network cable connections,
make sure that the station is turned on, and verify that
the physical address has been entered correctly.
When operating with a remote TouchScreen, the run
screens are the same as with an integrated TouchScreen except that a small icon at the top of each
screen indicates which local station you are controlling.
Touching this icon returns you to the home screen so
you can navigate to another local station. (See Fig.69).

Terminology
Initiate Style
For the purpose of this document a digital signal is
said to be SET when voltage is present (or above the
minimum threshold). A signal is said to be RESET
when the signal voltage is not present (below minimum
threshold). Devices are referred to as SET when they
are in their energized or active state.
Digital Inputs
Dispense Gun 1
This is the Dispense Signal. The PrecisionFlo XL unit
will attempt to dispense at either the commanded
flowrate or commanded pressure while this signal is
SET, dependent on mode.
This signal is used to clear a fault using the robot I/O.
This input can be used to start a new dispense job.
Job Complete/Measure Volume
This input can be used to signal a job end.
Style Bits 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
These inputs are read at the start of a job to determine
the selected style.
Low, Medium, High Speed
These are the digital robot flow commands.
Swirl Enable 1
This is the input signal to enable the optional swirl
orbiter 1.
Dispense Gun 2
Swirl 2
This signal is used either independently or in conjuction with Dispense Gun 1 when a second dispense
valve is added to the system. For purposes of Dispense Cycle timing, operating both or either are considered a single dispense signal. For dispensing operations, an additional calibration point is added for
Dispense Gun 2.
This is the input signal to enable the optional swirl
orbiter 2.
Remote Start
When HIGH, this signal starts the controller. The signal
is normally LOW.
Remote Stop
Request Volume
This signal is used to request the PrecisionFlo XL
system to put the last logged volume on the data bus.
The PrecisionFlo XL will SET the Volume on data
signal when the data bus is ready to be read.
When LOW, the controller will stop. The signal is
normally HIGH.
Remote Temp Enable
HIGH signal enables the temperature control.

Volume On Data
This signal is used in conjuction with Request Volume
to indicate the data bus is ready to be read.
NOTE: This signal does not indicate a valid job or
part.
Fault on Data
This bit is RESET under the following conditions:
1. System is in automatic mode.
The robot analog signal inputs represent flow or pressure requests. The voltage must be between 0 and 10
volts DC. The 0-10 volt signal is interpreted as a
relative 0-100% flow or pressure command signal. The
system must be in Analog Mode for this input to be
active.
Swirl Analog
This analog signal is used by the optional swirl controls
when the Swirl Mode is set to Automatic. 0-10V represents a 0 to 100% (6,600 to 24,000 RPM) Swirl Speed
command.
2. No Faults (alarms or warnings) are active.
Auto Mode
NOTE: The minimum actual speed of the swirl motor
is 6,600 RPM.
This signal indicates if the PrecisionFlo XL system is in
automatic mode.
Interlocks
Temperature Fault
In Cycle
In Cycle signal is set at the beginning of a dispense
cycle. It is reset at the end of the dispense cycle. The
dispense cycle can end in two ways, depending on
how the Job End mode is set:
If the Job End mode is set to Robot I/O, dispense
cycle ends when the job complete signal is received
from the Robot I/O.
If the Job End mode is set to Timer, dispense cycle
ends when the Job End delay timer expires.
This interlock should be wired to a set of normally
open “Dry Contacts” in the temperature controller. The
contacts should be SET when the temperature control
system is operational and at temperature. If this signal
is not used, it must be jumpered.
NOTE: This signal is always a 24 VDC signal and
should be wired as shown in the electrical schematic,
manual 309364.
Remote Stop
Cycle Complete
Cycle Complete signal is reset at the beginning of a
dispense cycle. It is set after the dispense cycle ends
and no faults are present. If a fault is present at the
end of a dispense cycle, the cycle complete signal is
not set until the fault is cleared.

309374
This signal needs to be set by a robot controller to
access the PrecisionFlo XL to function.When not set,
this signal is the same as pressing the Stop button on
the front of the controller. If this signal is not used it
must be jumpered as shown in the electrical schematic, form no. 309364.
Theory of Operation
Operation Modes
Dispense Modes:
Manual Mode
Automatic Mode
When in Manual mode, the PrecisionFlo XL control
remains in a ready state and reacts only to input from
the user interface. The PrecisionFlo XL control ignores
robotic controller signals when in Manual mode.
When in Automatic mode, the PrecisionFlo XL control
remains in a ready state, indicated by the DISPENSER
READY signal, and reacts to inputs such as DISPENSE
and VOLUME REQUEST signals from the robot.
When a fault is detected, the PrecisionFlo XL control
sets the FAULT ON DATA signal HIGH, and may set
the DISPENSER READY signal LOW. Fault detection
can also occur during manual dispensing. (See Fault
Handling on page 103.)
During dispensing, the PrecisionFlo XL control performs
a variety of functions in the background. These functions include fault monitoring, real-time volume compensation, measuring volume (per job), and continuous
calculations to maintain the pressure and flow control
loops.
Control Modes:
Pressure
Flow
The robot I/O or Manual dispense command and the
psi/volt setting are used to set a pressure target. The
regulator adjusts to maintain this pressure.
The robot I/O command for manual dispense establishes a Flow Rate target. A pressure setpoint is determined from the calibration results and the volume
compensation values. The regulator adjusts to maintain
the pressure setpoint, volume compensation will adjust
the pressure setpoint to achieve the desired flow rate.
Robot I/O Modes:
Analog
Digital
0-10 VDC signal from the robot is used to determine the
pressure or flow command. A 10 volt command in Flow
Control Mode will establish a flow rate command equal
to the value entered during the flow calibration procedure.
Three digital I/O signals (High, Medium, Low speed) are
used to set three discrete commands. 0–100% is
equivalent to 0–10 volt analog command. If no digital
I/O signal is given, the system defaults to the Low
speed value.
309374
99
Theory of Operation
Swirl Modes:
Automatic
Manual
– Analog input is used to set swirl speed
– Manual setting of swirl speed by the “Swirl Manual”
variable on the settings screen. 0–100% sets
0–100% of swirl speed
– Robot I/O for activating swirl orbiter
– Robot Analog Swirl signal scaled by “Swirl Auto”
setting. A swirl auto value of 50% would give a 5 V
command to the swirl controller with a 10 V robot
analog swirl signal
– Swirl enable from robot I/O or PrecisionFlo XL
Manual dispense
– PrecisionFlo manual dispense will activate swirl
enable.
The PCR must be set (green light on) to enable the swirl controller
The swirl circuit board(s) and wiring are optional and only installed in models ordered with swirl capability.
The swirl fault is selectable as an Alarm or a Warning.
A swirl fault is generated if a swirl enable command is given to the swirl controller and the swirl orbiter does not
orbit at the desired speed.

Theory of Operation
Typical Dispense Cycle
The In Cycle signal is set at the beginning of a dispense cycle, which starts with a Dispense Gun signal or Initiate
Style signal from the robot. The style bits from the robot are read at the beginning of the job.
Using Timer for Job End
If the Job End mode is set to Timer, the dispense cycle ends when the Job End delay timer expires and there are
no faults present. The Cycle Complete signal is reset at the end of the dispense cycle.

Using Robot I/O for Job End
If the Job End mode is set to Robot I/O, the dispense cycle ends when the Job Complete signal is received from
the Robot I/O. This is the recommended method to end a job, as an unexpected production stoppage in the middle
of the dispense will not give a false Job End signal.

Theory of Operation
Typical Job Cycle
1. Robotic system controller verifies that the
DISPENSER READY signal is HIGH.
2. Robotic system goes into cycle.
3. Robotic system controller places the style information on the style data bus.
4. PrecisionFlo XL control reads the style bits from
the data bus. (Style Bits 0–5)
Style bit data must be valid a minimum of 15 msec
before DISPENSE or INITIATE STYLE is raised,
and must remain valid for a minimum of 130 msec
afterward (Fig. 73).
5. PrecisionFlo XL control waits for DISPENSE signal
from the robotic system to start dispensing.
6. Robotic system controller requests material to be
dispensed by setting the DISPENSE signal HIGH.
7. PrecisionFlo XL control activates the closer solenoid, retracting the closer pneumatic cylinder. (This
only occurs on models with the electric fluid
regulator.)
8. Dispense gun opens after the GUN ON DELAY,
immediately if the delay is set to zero.
9. PrecisionFlo XL control checks if a REGULATION
ON DELAY has been set by the user.
If the delay has been set, the PrecisionFlo XL control waits until the delay has expired, then begins
regulating material to the gun.
If the delay has not been set, the PrecisionFlo XL
control immediately begins regulating material to
the gun.
13. PrecisionFlo XL control monitors operating parameters to detect and report any faults that may
occur. (see Fault Handling on page 103.)
14. Robot sets the DISPENSE line LOW, indicating
that no material is required during this portion of
the program. (Robot can cycle the DISPENSE
signal HIGH and LOW throughout a cycle if required. Volume measurement will still occur.)
15. The regulator closes after the REGULATOR OFF
DELAY expires.
16. The PrecisionFlo XL control checks if a GUN OFF
DELAY has been set by the user.
If the delay has been set, the PrecisionFlo XL control waits until the delay has expired, then closes
the dispense gun solenoid, which closes the gun.
If the delay has not been set, the PrecisionFlo XL
control immediately closes the dispense gun solenoid, which closes the gun.
17. PrecisionFlo XL control deactivates closer, which
closes the needle 2 seconds after the gun solenoid
is deactivated. (This only occurs on models with
the electric fluid regulator.)
18. PrecisionFlo XL control stops measuring volume
after the DISPENSE DONE DELAY timer expires
or the JOB COMPLETE robot I/O signal is
received.
19. PrecisionFlo XL control updates the Status screen
and the Data table.
20. PrecisionFlo XL control waits to be polled for
volume dispensed. (See Volume Reporting on
page 105.)

signal and the data bus. Fault codes can be either:

Fault Code Data
Fig. 74
Fault code data is valid for a minimum of 1 msec
before FAULT ON DATA goes HIGH. Fault code data
remains valid, and the FAULT ON DATA remains
HIGH, until a FAULT RESET is received from the
robotic controller, or the fault is cleared using the
display.
Warnings, which keep the PrecisionFlo XL DISPENSER READY signal HIGH.
NOTE: Both volume and fault data are available on the
I/O interface. Volume and fault data share I/O points,
Data 1 – Data 32768. See Table 42, page 91. If the
VOLUME ON DATA output is on, the outputs contain
volume data. If the FAULT ON DATA output is on, the
outputs contain fault data.
The robot can read a fault code any time during the
cycle. If several faults are present at the same time,
the highest priority fault code is sent to the data bus.
At the end of the dispense cycle the data bus is used
for volume reporting, if requested by the robotic controller. Once volume reporting has been completed, the
fault code is placed back on the data bus.
Each Fault is recorded on the user interface. The fault
data is also available on the I/O interface until the fault
is cleared.
Refer to the Troubleshooting and Fault Recovery
section page 116 for fault code causes, descriptions,
and solutions for the various faults.

Total Volume = 1 + 4 +16 = 21, which represents a “Op Cable 2 Open” fault.
Typical Fault Reporting Procedure
1. A problem occurs in the PrecisionFlo XL control.
2. The PrecisionFlo XL control analyzes the problem
indication and determines if the fault is an alarm or
a warning.
3. If the fault is an alarm:
a. PrecisionFlo XL control sets the DISPENSER
READY signal LOW.
b. PrecisionFlo XL control places the fault code
on the data bus and sets the FAULT ON DATA
signal HIGH.
The robot can detect the fault strobe signal and
read the fault data immediately or at the end of the
cycle (see steps 4 and 5).
If the fault is a Warning, normal operation continues to the end of the cycle. A Warning should be
cleared using the TouchScreen or FAULT RESET.
104
309374
4. On completion of the cycle, if volume information
is requested, the PrecisionFlo XL control uses the
data bus to transfer the volume data. (See Figure 75, Volume Reporting on page 105.) During
volume transfer, the FAULT ON DATA signal is
LOW.
5. When the cycle is completed and any volume
information has been transferred, the PrecisionFlo
XL control places the fault code on the data bus
and FAULT ON DATA changes to HIGH.
Theory of Operation
Volume Reporting
Both volume and fault data are available on the I/O
interface. Volume and fault data share I/O points, Data
1 – Data 32768. See Table 42, page 91. If the VOLUME ON DATA output is on, the outputs contain
volume data. If the FAULT ON DATA output is on, the
outputs contain fault data.
The volume data recorded for each job is stored on the
user interface. The volume data for the last job completed only is available on the I/O interface. When a
new job begins, the volume data is overwritten on the
I/O interface. It is recommended you only gather data
after a job is complete. If you request data during a
job, the volume reported is only the amount dispensed
up to the point of the request.

Typical Volume Reporting Procedure
6. Robotic controller reads the data.
1. Robotic controller sets DISPENSE to LOW and
DISPENSE DONE DELAY expires or a JOB
COMPLETE signal from the robot ends a dispense
job.
7. Robotic controller sets the VOLUME REQUEST
signal LOW to indicate volume data has been
read.
2. The PrecisionFlo XL control stops measuring
volume dispensed. An entry is made to the data
log which records the volume dispensed. On
installations with two flow meters, this is the combined volume of both flow meters.
3. Robot controller sets the VOLUME REQUEST
signal HIGH.
8. PrecisionFlo XL control sets the VOLUME ON
DATA signal to LOW.
9. After volume is reported, if a fault was detected
during the cycle, the PrecisionFlo XL control
places the fault code on the data bus. (See Fault
Reporting on page 103.)
4. PrecisionFlo XL control places the 16 bits of
volume information on the data bus.
5. PrecisionFlo XL control sets the VOLUME ON
DATA signal HIGH.
106
309374
10. When the robot sets the DISPENSE line high to
begin the next cycle, the PrecisionFlo XL control
discards previously stored volume data.
Theory of Operation
Flow Rate Calculation
The flow average value is calculated by the system
based on the K-factor and the flow rate entered during
flow calibration.
4 pulses
(flow average)
The time is measured for the number of flow meter
pulses in the flow average variable to occur and the
flow rate is calculated.
Example: Flow Average = 4 pulses
Flow Rate = 400 cc/min
K-factor = 3500 pulses/liter = 3.5 pulses/cc
This gives a pulse rate of 23.3 pulses/second or 43 milliseconds/pulse. A new flow
rate is measured approximately every 171
milli-seconds.
If the time measured with the same parameters (3500
pulses/liter, 4 pulses flow average) is 180 milliseconds,
the flow rate calculation would be 380 cc/minute.
Flow Calibration
In order to control the flow rate of a material, the system must determine the pressure required at the regulator outlet to achieve a desired flow rate (Fig. 76).The calibration procedure provides the pressure required to obtain the
maximum desired flow rate (10 VDC flow command.)

Theory of Operation
Volume Compensation
Endpoint
Adjustment
Volume compensation is used when the PrecisionFlo
XL system is operated in flow control mode. The
system measures the actual flow rate and adjusts the
pressure/flow relationship (as determined during flow
calibration) to achieve the desired flow.
Flow Command

Speed Point

Speed Point
Flow rate < desired flow rate

Increase offset
Increase peak
Decrease offset
Decrease peak
When flow calibration is completed, the resulting
pressure value is divided by 100 to obtain a 1% value.
The initial offset is set to 0%, the initial peak is set to
100% (see Flow Calibration on page 107).
Each time a new flow rate measurement has been
completed, the actual flow rate is compared to the
requested flow rate. The flow rate command from the
robot (analog or digital) is also compared to the flow
rate defined by the digital medium speed bit. The
medium speed bit should be set to the average value
of the minimum and maximum robot commands when
using Analog for Robot mode.
108
309374
The volume compensation routine moves the end
points of a straight line which defines the pressure/flow
relationship of the system.
The end point of the pressure/flow line (offset or peak)
is moved the 1% value determined at the end of the
flow calibration routine. The magnitude of the flow rate
error does not affect the size of the adjustment.
The maximum adjustment range of the peak point is
25 to 400% of the original value from calibration. If the
25% or 400% limits are reached, a Volume Comp Limit
fault is generated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between running in Pressure Mode versus Flow Mode?
A: In Pressure Mode, the control will maintain a specific pressure at the fluid regulator outlet. If the viscosity of
the fluid changes or the nozzle becomes restricted, that pressure will result in a different flow rate. If you have a
flow meter installed, it can still monitor the job volume for faults. Pressure mode is sometimes desirable for
spray applications to maintain a specific spray pattern.
In Flow Mode, the fluid regulator is still reacting to the fluid pressure for quick adjustment, but the control also
monitors the flow meter. If the flow rate does not agree with the flow command, the pressure target is adjusted.
This method gives you the quick response of a pressure transducer, while maintaining the rate accuracy of a
flow meter.
Q: How do I adjust the flow rate up or down without changing my robot commands?
A: There is an adjustment called Flow Scale, which appears on the EasyKey Overview screen or on the
TouchScreen Settings screen. This can be set from 50–150% of command flow. To change the Flow Scale, turn
the key switch to the right to enter Setup mode. The Setup modes screen allows you to change the Flow Scale
percentage. To change to the new setting, press the Enter key on the EasyKey interface or press the up or
down arrows on the TouchScreen interface The new value will be stored when you turn the key switch back to
Run mode.
Q: Why do I get a warning for “Volume Comp Limit”?
A: Something has changed since you calibrated your regulator. The control has changed the regulator pressure
set point too far away from the calibration point. This happens in Flow Mode when the control is monitoring the
flow meter and trying to maintain the proper flow rate. The cause is some factor that has changed the pressure,
downstream of the regulator, at the desired flow rate. This might be a plugged nozzle or a fluid viscosity
change. The viscosity difference could be caused by a change in temperature or a new batch of material. If the
pressure needs to increase to maintain the desired flow rate, but the fluid regulator is already fully open, the
volume compensation continues to increase the desired pressure target until the limit is reached. The fluid feed
pressure at the regulator inlet needs to be increased. If the fluid and equipment are all right, you need to
recalibrate to your flow target.
Q: How is a fluid control regulator calibration performed?
A: There are two steps: Pressure Calibration and Flow Calibration. You must always do a Pressure Calibration for
each regulator. If you are using a flow meter and will run in Flow mode, you must also do a Flow Calibration
after the Pressure Calibration is complete. To calibrate pressure and flow, see page 1.
Q: How do I determine my maximum flow limit for Flow Calibration?
A: The maximum flow limit entered on the Flow Calibration screen will be the target flow rate at a 10 volt analog
flow command signal. This should be the highest rate at which you will dispense. The maximum limit can be
entered as cc/min on line three, or if your process calls for a specific bead diameter, enter that diameter on line
two, along with your maximum robot tip speed on line one. The PrecisionFlo control unit calculates the
maximum flow rate automatically. The Max Flow Rate line at the bottom of the screen shows the highest flow
rate that the regulator could attain during its fluid control regulator calibration.
Q: How do I know if the fluid control regulator calibration was successful?
A: On the TouchScreen display, calibration was successful if the red calibration status bar at the bottom turns
green. On the EasyKey display, calibration was successful if there is no error message in the alarm bar at the
bottom of the screen.
309374
121
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why will my fluid control regulator not calibrate in the Pressure screen?
A: You may not have enough fluid pressure downstream of the regulator — at least 500 psi (3.5 MPa, 34.5 bar) is
required. Try a smaller nozzle on the dispense valve.
Q: Why will my fluid control regulator not calibrate in the Flow screen?
A: You might not have selected a flow meter in the Config–General screen. You may not have been able to reach
the maximum flow rate you entered. To reach a higher flow rate, you can increase the feed pressure or
increase the dispense valve nozzle size.
Q: Why will my dispense valve not operate?
A: The valve will not dispense in Flow Mode if the flow calibration has failed. Calibrate the flow rate as instructed
on page 1.
Q: Does Pressure Mode use a flow meter?
A: Running in Pressure Mode does not require a flow meter. However, without a flow meter, you cannot monitor
the job volume limits or log the job volumes. The number of flow meters installed must be selected on the
Config–General screen.
Q: Why is the psi/volt setting important?
A: The psi/volt setting is important if you are only running in the Pressure Mode. This is what sets the relationship
between the robot analog signal and the desired pressure. For example, a psi/volt setting of 200 will produce
1000 psi (7 MPa, 70 bar) outlet pressure at an analog signal of 5 volts. The psi/volt setting is calculated and
set automatically if you have a flow meter installed and do a flow calibration to your maximum desired flow rate.
The psi/volt setting is 10% of the Flow Calibration maximum pressure.
Q: Why are the digital speed settings important if I am running off of a 0–10 volt analog signal
from a robot?
A: 1.) Low Flow Rate setting: If the analog signal drops below 1 volt, the PrecisionFlo XL control will default to
the Low Flow Rate setting. If you are working through a wide analog range, this setting could be very useful to
you.
2.) Medium Flow Rate setting: This setting affects how well the flow compensation works across the middle to
upper flow range. The Medium Flow Range percent setting should be set to your average robot analog signal.
For example: If you run between 5–8 volts, the average is 6.5 volts or a 65% setting.
3. High Flow Rate setting: This setting has no effect when you are running in the analog robot mode.
Q: How can I verify that my I/O interface wiring is correct before loading and running the dispense equipment?
A: With the TouchScreen interface, select the Module I/O tab, or the Robot I/O tab, to view the status of all inputs
and outputs. With the EasyKey interface, check the status of LED lights on the robot I/O board, using the table
on page 106.
Q: How do I know my flow and volume measurements are accurate?
A: Calibrate the flow meter as instructed on page 38. This is strongly recommended as many sealants are
compressible, and the flow meter measures the fluid while it is under pressure. Calibrating the meter makes it
accurate for your fluid at ambient pressure. Periodic calibration is also important to monitor your meter for wear.
122
309374
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I have the robot control turn on the PrecisionFlo XL temperature control at a preset time
to warm up the system before shift start?
A: Yes. There is an input for Remote Temp Enable. This input at J5–19 is normally jumpered high but can be
controlled by the robot. Remove the jumper and connect the proper robot interface wires.
Q: I have flow, but how do I know if my fluid regulator is working?
A: If a fluid regulator fails, it can no longer hold back fluid pressure. If the outlet pressure climbs up to equalize
with the inlet pressure when you stop dispensing, the regulator has lost the ability to shutoff or fully regulate
flow. If you have pressure limits set, you will get an Outlet Pressure High alarm. If you have job volume limits
set, you will get a High Volume On Last Job alarm.
Q: Is there a way to put the fluid plate control regulator in a bypass mode, to still operate the dispense valve when I have a problem?
A: With the air operated regulators, you can move the air tube that feeds the E/P valve directly to the fluid
regulator air inlet. Turn off the air supply before moving tubes. With the electric regulators, it is best to remove
the fluid seat from the regulator housing or bypass the regulator with a hose and valve.
Q: How do I download job logs or alarm logs from the PrecisionFlo XL control?
A: There is an external phone-style connection on the right side of the control enclosure. You need a PC or laptop
computer with terminal emulation software and part number 233657 accessory cable kit. If you have the
TouchScreen interface, you can also communicate via ethernet connection. See Communicating with
PrecisionFlo XL, page 39.
Q: Will I lose any of my Setup parameters or logged information if power is lost?
A: No. All setup parameters, job logs, and alarm logs are saved to flash memory and do not need any power. This
is non-volatile memory, similar to the cards used with digital cameras. There also is no battery to replace.
Q: Can I cause an error or system problem while looking at screens when production is running?
A: If the key switch is turned to the left or removed, which means the system is in Run mode, you view the four
monitor screens, but you cannot change any parameters. You can still select Manual or Automatic mode on the
user interface, which would stop the robot initiated dispensing.
Q: Can I change my Setup values while the machine is running?
A: Yes. If you turn the key switch to Setup mode, you have complete control of the system. Changes to control
modes, pressure values, time delays, alarms, etc. become effective when you press Enter and the changes are
saved to memory when the key switch is turned back to Run mode.
Q: How can I get out of Setup without saving the changes I have entered?
A: You can turn the power off before turning the key switch back to Run mode. When you turn the power back on,
the changes will not be there. However, you would not want to turn off the power during production.
Q: What is the difference between Swirl Mode Manual, and Swirl Mode Auto?
A: In Manual Swirl Mode you are setting the swirl speed as a percentage. 0% equals 6600 rpm and 100% equals
24000 rpm. In Auto Swirl Mode, the 50–150% you set applies that factor to the robot swirl analog signal. At
100% setting, a 5 volt signal equals a 50% swirl speed signal. At 150%, a 5 volt signal equals a 75% swirl
speed signal. This gives the operator the ability to adjust the robot swirl command from the dispenser control
station. The actual command to the swirl motor will always be capped at 10 volts or 24000 rpm.
309374
123
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I set my pressures?
A: First, set the dispense pressure. A dispense valve hose and nozzle should be used, which will maintain at
least 500 psi (3.5 MPa, 34.5 bar) back pressure at the fluid control regulator outlet at your lowest flow rate
setting.
Second, set the feed pressure. Once you are running, back down the feed pressure to a point where the
regulator inlet pressure stays at least 500 psi (3.5 MPa, 34.5 bar) greater than the regulator outlet pressure,
when dispensing at your maximum flow rate. If you will have multiple valves open at the same time, being fed
by the same feed pump, do this check with all of those valves open. Excessive feed pressure will cause
excessive wear.
Q: What is the recovery procedure if the TouchScreen or EasyKey panel lock-up?
A: The process can continue to run. When you are not dispensing, cycle the power to reboot the display.

Adding Swirl Capability to an Existing Control Box
Adding Swirl Capability to an Existing
Control Box
Connection harnesses are available for adding swirl
capability to existing PrecisionFlo XL control boxes. If
your box is controlling one or two pneumatic regulatortype fluid plates, you can have one or two swirl control
boards. If your box is controlling an electric regulator
fluid plate, you will have an AMP board mounted in the
second position down, and can add a swirl control
board in the top position. Verify that you have space
open for the board(s) by referring to the layout on page
129. Swirl boards can be installed one above the other
in the upper left section of the control box if there are
empty spaces.

Appendix A
Ethernet and FTP
TouchScreen Only
Overview
NOTE: Ethernet and FTP communication can only be
used with systems with a TouchScreen user interface.
EasyKey user interface must use serial communication.
Alarm and data log files can be transferred from the
PrecisionFlo XL directly to another computer. This
appendix describes how to connect a laptop computer
to the PrecisionFlo XL and transfer its alarm and data
logs to the laptop. A nearby workstation or desktop
computer could be used in place of the laptop.
Before You Start
This appendix is written for users with basic PC and
Microsoft Windows knowledge, as well as familiarity
with networking concepts. You should understand how
Ethernet, TCP/IP, and FTP work to carry out the
following procedures.
Because networking multiple computers together
requires proper setup and configuration of these
computers, you may need to contact your IS department (or equivalent) for assistance. You will need an IP
address assigned to the PrecisionFlo XL by your
system administrator.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a common type of communications network. An Ethernet network uses a star or bus topology
and supports multiple types of cabling media.
PrecisionFlo XL Ethernet specifications
The PrecisionFlo XL conforms to IEEE Standard
802.3, a widely used specification that was established
to standardize Ethernet networks.
The PrecisionFlo XL uses 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
twisted pair cables that use RJ45 connectors. Most
commonly used in office settings, these cables can be
used for runs up to 100 meters. They are generally
used in networks with a star topology, which requires
the use of a network hub. No termination resistors are
required. These cables are also known as Category 5
communication cables or CAT 5 cable.
The CAT 5 cable supports 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
communication rates. A short length of either of these
cables, with connectors installed on both ends, is
commonly called a patch cable.
TCP/IP
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. It is a suite of communication protocols
widely used in Ethernet networks. One of its main
functions is to route packets of information from one
computer to another. This is accomplished by assigning every computer on the network a unique IP address, which has the format nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, where
‘nnn’ is a number between 1 and 254. While the specifics are beyond the scope of this manual, in general,
the address is made up of two parts. One part designates the network itself, the other part uniquely identifies the computer (also called a ‘host’) on the network.
On a computer network where two or more computers
are communicating using TCP/IP, all computers involved must have addresses that have the same
network identifier but unique host identifiers.
PrecisionFlo XL TCP/IP specifications
The default address used on the PrecisionFlo XL is
192.111.223.110. The network portion of the address is
192.111.223 and the host portion is 110. Any other
computer connected to the same physical network as
the PrecisionFlo XL must use an address like
192.111.223.nnn, where nnn is any number between 1
and 254, except 110.
Your company may have specific IP address standards
or regulations. Contact your IS department (or equivalent) to find out what IP address you should use. To
change the IP address of the PrecisionFlo XL, navigate to the IP Address Setup screen on the TouchScreen. Change the IP address to the address recommended by your IS department.
309374
145
Ethernet and FTP
FTP
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a popular
communications protocol designed specifically to
transfer files between computers.
What is Needed?
To properly set up communications, you need to
configure the laptop network settings and make the
physical network connection. The PrecisionFlo XL is
fully configured at the factory and no software configuration or modification is required. Network settings and
physical connection are described below.
Network Settings on the Laptop
Companies have varying policies on who is allowed to
modify parameters such as network settings. Check
with your IS department for approval before proceeding. The procedure shown illustrates the steps for
Windows 98; other Windows platforms are similar.
Fig. 84
1. In Windows 98, click on Start→Settings→Control
Panel.
2. When the Control Panel appears, double-click on
the Network icon.
3. A dialog box appears. In the list displayed at the
top, there should be a line representing the physical network card (also called network adapter)
installed on your computer. For example, “Network
of Xircom CreditCard 10/100+Modem 56” (see
Fig. 84).
Further down in the same list, there should be
another line that indicates the TCP/IP protocol is
installed. For example, “TCP/IP→ Network of Xircom CreditCard 10/100+Modem” (see Fig. 85).
4. Select the “TCP/IP → Network of …” line and click
on Properties.
146
309374
Fig. 85
Ethernet and FTP
5. Another dialog box appears; select the IP Address
tab. Select “Specify an IP address” and fill in the
blanks as shown in Fig. 86.
If you prefer, the last number of the IP address can
be something different (see previous explanation
of TCP/IP). The rest of the tabs on this dialog box
can be left as they are.
6. Click OK to close this dialog box.
7. Click OK to close the first dialog box.
8. A message from Windows appears, stating that
you need to reboot for the changes to take effect.
Reboot the computer.
NOTE: If a network card or the TCP/IP protocol has
not been installed, consult the documentation that
came with your network card for installation instructions.
Physical Connection to PrecisionFlo XL
There are two common ways to connect to the PrecisionFlo XL. The first way is to use a CAT 5 crossover
cable to directly connect the PrecisionFlo XL computer
to the laptop. The second way is to use a network hub
and CAT 5 patch cables.
Direct Computer Connection
Connect one end of a CAT 5 crossover cable to the
PrecisionFlo XL RJ45 port and the other cable end to
the laptop RJ45 port.
Network Hub Connection
Fig. 86
Connect a CAT 5 patch cable to the laptop RJ45 port
and the other cable end to an available hub port.
Connect a CAT 5 patch cable from the hub to the
PrecisionFlo XL RJ45 port. Apply power to the hub.

Testing Communication
If it’s not set up right, you’ll see something like this:
Anybody Home?
Pinging 192.111.223.110 with 32 bytes of data:
A quick test to try when everything is powered up and
plugged in is the ping test. The ping test uses a utility
built into Windows called ping.exe. Ping.exe sends an
“Are you there?” message to another node on the
network. If the message gets to the other node and it’s
up and running, it will return the message to the sender. To try this, open a DOS window and type:
c:\ping 192.111.223.110
Use the appropriate IP address if you have changed it
from the default. If the laptop is configured correctly
and the physical connections are okay, you will see
something like:

Approximate round trip times in milli–seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms
If you receive the latter message, do not continue the
test. If the ping test fails, FTP will also fail. There are
various possible causes for ping test failure. Some
things to check are:
1. Check the physical network connections.
192.111.223.110: bytes=32 time=1ms

2. The green link LED on the laptop’s external network card connector should be on.
3. Try pinging the laptop from the laptop. That is, on
the laptop, type “ping <IP address>”, where <IP
address> is the laptop IP address. If this fails, the
network configuration is incorrect.
4. Check the laptop IP address settings.
Two very common causes of problems are invalid
laptop network settings or a faulty cable.

Transferring Files
The laptop must have an FTP client software package
installed on it. There are several FTP packages available. A default Windows installation includes an FTP
client called ftp.exe. To help make the ftp.exe utility
easier to use, follow the instructions below to create a
batch file to automate ftp.exe to do the necessary FTP
commands for you.
1. Create the two following text files:
getlogs.bat:
ftp –s:logs.txt %1
logs.txt:
pfloftp
pfloftp
prompt
ascii
mget *.log
bye
NOTE: Be sure to enter the text exactly as shown
above. A single typo will cause the operation, below, to
fail.
2. Create a directory to use for file transfer. For the
purposes of this example, this directory is called
c:\graco.
3. Move the getlogs.bat and logs.txt files created
above into the file transfer directory.
4. Open a DOS window and change working directories to c:\graco. At the command prompt, run the
batch file:
c:\getlogs 192.111.223.110<Enter>
The .bat file will invoke the FTP utility, pass the IP
address entered on the command line to it, and execute the commands listed in the logs.txt file. The
commands will instruct the FTP utility to fetch a copy
of all the alarm and data logs from the PrecisionFlo XL
and put them in the current directory on the laptop.
The commands in logs.txt will fetch a copy of the log
files from the PrecisionFlo XL. The original files will still
reside on the PrecisionFlo XL and will not be deleted.

TouchScreen and Remote Screen
Configuration and Calibration
Before You Start
NOTE: The TouchScreen comes from the factory
preconfigured and calibrated. You will need to follow
this procedure if you replace your TouchScreen or the
CompactFlash memory for the TouchScreen. This
procedure also applies if you configure a remote
TouchScreen to one or more PrecisionFlo XL stations.
In order to configure the TouchScreen, you must first
understand a few things about the hardware. A TouchScreen consists of two main components: the actual
screen and the PC/104 board, where the CompactFlash memory resides.
The screen component is typically mounted in the
PrecisionFlo XL control unit. The screen is comparable
to a monitor on a personal computer (PC). The PC/104
component is the circuit board that contains the processor for the TouchScreen and is comparable to the
central processing unit (CPU) on a PC.
When you configure a TouchScreen, you are actually
configuring the PC/104 board (Fig. 87). The parameters that you configure are stored in the CompactFlash
memory on the PC/104 board. For this reason, if you
change your screen, PC/104 board, or CompactFlash
memory, you may need to reconfigure your TouchScreen interface.

TouchScreen and Remote Screen Configuration and Calibration
PC/104 Board
Configurations
There are the three types of PC/104 board configuration.
1. Standalone (default) – A standalone Touchscreen
(Fig. 88) is the most common configuration. This is
a PC/104 board mounted in the PrecisionFlo XL
control unit. This PC/104 board is not communicating with any remote screens. It is displaying information on the screen mounted on the outside of
the control unit.
2. Local – A local PC/104 configuration (Fig. 89) is
used in conjunction with a remote screen. The
local station is the PC/104 board that is mounted in
the PrecisionFlo XL control unit. This control unit
typically does not have a screen mounted on it.
This PC/104 board will communicate with the
remote station via the Ethernet connection on the
PrecisionFlo XL control unit. Up to 12 stations can
be networked to a remote station. These stations
are connected to the remote station with usersupplied CAT 5 (Ethernet) patch cables.

3. Remote – The remote PC/104 board is located in
the remote control unit (Fig. 90). This PC/104
board displays information on the screen mounted
on the outside of the remote unit. It is communicating with the local station via the Ethernet connection on the remote unit.

TouchScreen and Remote Screen Configuration and Calibration
Configuration Mode
To enter Configuration mode, turn off power to the
system, jumper wires together in the control unit, then
turn power back on. To return to normal Operating
mode, turn off power, remove the jumper wires and
turn power back on.
The following table shows the jumper options on the
main control unit. These terminals are located on a
connector mounted near the base of the PC/104
board.

TouchScreen and Remote Screen Configuration and Calibration
Setting up a standalone station
To set up a standalone station, attach the appropriate
jumpers from the jumper table on page 153, then turn
on power to the system. As the system reboots, you
will notice messages on the screen as the unit configures itself, then the system goes to TouchScreen
calibration.
To calibrate the TouchScreen:
Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of the PC/104
board with the TouchScreen, so that when you touch
an element on the screen, the board correctly interprets which function you wish to accomplish. When
calibrating, be careful not to lean on the TouchScreen
or contact it with anything other than the tool you are
using to touch with (touching with a small, blunt instrument such as the eraser on a pencil works the best).
Fig. 92
154
309374
NOTE: If you should accidentally touch the screen
while you are calibrating it, you must repeat the configuration process.
Touch the targets that appear on the screen. Fig. 92
shows all the target points. When you are calibrating
the TouchScreen only one target is visible at a time.
The Current Position field shows the screen coordinates of the target position currently displayed. When
calibration is complete, the system tells you that it is
now okay to turn off the unit. Remove the jumpers,
turn power back on, and you are ready to operate as a
standalone station.
TouchScreen and Remote Screen Configuration and Calibration
Setting up local stations
Since there is no screen on a local station, you will
have no indication that configuration is taking place or
when it is complete. Attach the appropriate jumpers
from the jumper table on page 153, turn on power to
the system, and wait at least 2 minutes. Then, turn
power off, remove the jumpers, turn power back on
and you are ready to operate as a local station. If this
local station is going to be part of a PrecisionFlo XL
network, you must also set it’s station number on the
Expandable Control Board (ECB). See Fig. 91 for the
location of the rotary switch used to set the station
number. This switch should be in one of the settings on
the table below before you power up the system with
the jumpers. Any other setting for the rotary switch will
result in the system being set up as station 1. Be sure
that each station number is used only once. Network
problems will result if the same number is assigned to
more than one station.
NOTE: Changing the setting on the rotary switch is
only effective when the configuration jumpers are in
place while turning on the PrecisionFlo XL. If you
change the setting on the rotary switch without setting
the jumpers and cycling power to the system, the
station number will not change.

Setting up a remote station
To set up a remote station, attach the appropriate
jumpers from the jumper table on page 153, then turn
on power to the system. As the system reboots, you
will notice messages on the screen as the unit configures itself. After this, the system goes into TouchScreen calibration. See instructions on how to calibrate
the TouchScreen on page 154. When configuration is
complete, the system will tell you that it is now okay to
turn off the unit. Remove the jumpers, cycle power on
the system, and you are ready to operate as a remote
station.
