HV Controller - INTRODUCTION
HV Controller - INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Ransburg MicroPak 2e (A13338-00), in conjunction
with an appropriate cascade is used to provide high
voltage for electrostatic application equipment. The
controller is packaged in a single package measuring 5.1”
tall X 8.5” wide X 6.5” deep (12.9cm tall x 21.6cm wide
x 16.5cm deep). The controller can operate in “Local”
and “Remote” conditions with either “Voltage Mode” or
“Current Mode” of high voltage control.
The Ransburg MicroPak 2e Controller uses a combination
of proven high voltage generation technology including
microprocessor-based control with diagnostic and
communication functions. It uses a variable voltage
output to drive a cascade that amplies the voltage to a
high value. It also uses both current and voltage feedback
information to maintain the desired set point. The
processor circuitry provides the maximum in applicator
transfer efciency, while maintaining the maximum safety
The MicroPak 2e also supports the use of Multifunction
I/O Controllers (MIO) to provide additional functions.
Currently two add-on controller versions are supported:
1) an Atomizer Controller and 2) a Discrete IO Interface.
SAFETY FEATURES
When used with the appropriate applicators and
cascades, the Ransburg MicroPak 2e Controller provides
the ultimate in operational safety. The protections include
Overvoltage, Overcurrent and Di/Dt or Dv/Dt which are
detailed in the Operating Parameters and Settings section
of this manual. The micro-processor circuits allow the use
of output load curve control, which limits the high voltage
output to safe levels when the controls are set responsibly
and safe distances are observed and followed.
DISPLAYS
The front panel displays the high voltage and current
output from the cascade as true readings. They are
derived from feedback signals in the low voltage cable
between the controller and the cascade.

HV Controller - INTRODUCTION
OPERATOR INTERFACE
The MicroPak 2e Controller shown in gure 4, has a
physically simple operator interface consisting of ve (5)
LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes), four (4) switches, seven (7)
buttons, and two four line twenty character (4 X 20) alpha/
numeric displays.
Figure 4: Operator Interface
SWITCHES
Ethernet/IP parameters. This means that when switching
between Local and Remote modes, operating parameters
will typically change. Parameters which always change
are the ones passed as variables in the Ethernet/
IP Assemblies, e.g. KV Setpoint and Turbine Speed
Setpoint. Parameters which are set indirectly using the
Parameter Write function of the Assemblies, e.g Max
µA Limit, will use the Local Mode settings until they are
changed through the Ethernet/IP interface. Once one
of these parameters is changed using Ethernet/IP, the
MicroPak 2e will toggle between the Local and Remote
values at each mode change. This behavior will continue
until the next power cycle of the controller.
HV On / Off Switch
This is a return-to-center momentary toggle switch. It is
active only when the Local/Remote mode switch is set to
Local. It is used to enable and disable the High Voltage
output and to clear system faults. When the System Checks
and Current Status are OK, ipping the switch to the up
position (HV On) will enable High Voltage Output (see
“Figure 4 - Operator Interface” in this section). Flipping it
to the down position (HV Off) will disable the High Voltage
Output. If there is a system fault, ipping this switch to the
OFF position (also known as the Reset position) will reset
(clear) any faults currently detected by the system.
Power Switch
The rocker switch on the left and the LED directly above
it are for power On/Off selection and display. The green
LED is on when the power is On to the controller.
Local / Remote Switch
This is a two position toggle switch used to determine
if the Local (Front Panel) controls have priority or if the
Remote controls (Ethernet/IP Connection or Discrete
inputs) have priority. If the switch is up (Local Mode) the
Front Panel controls may change parameters, enable or
disable the high voltage, and clear faults. The Remote
Ethernet/IP connection may look at parameters and
values, but may not change them or enable/disable the
high voltage output. If the switch is down (Remote Mode)
the opposite is true except that the Front Panel switch
may be changed to local Mode at any time to disable the
Remote Controls and to enable the Local Controls.
Beginning with Software Version V1.1.00, when Ethernet/
IP is enabled the MicroPak 2e maintains Local Mode
parameters separate from the
Atomizer On / Off Switch
This is a two position toggle switch. It is used to enable
and disable (i.e. start and stop) a congured atomizer
when in LOCAL mode. When the controller is in REMOTE
mode it is ignored.
LED’S
Power LED
If the Green Power LED is on, then the system power to
the controller is On.
HV Fault LED
The red HV Fault LED is lit when the system detects a
fault condition (see “Figure 4 - Operator Interface” in the
SWITCHES section). When operating in “Local Mode”,
it is cleared by ipping the HV On/Off switch to the OFF
(Reset) position. If the system is still in a fault condition, it
will immediately be lit as the system detects the fault.

High Voltage LED
The green High Voltage LED displays the current state
of the High Voltage Output. This LED is illuminated
whenever High Voltage is being supplied.
Atomizer Fault LED
The red Atomizer Fault LED is lit when the Atomizer
subsystem detects a fault condition. This condition will
be displayed on the Atomizer status screen.
HV Controller - INTRODUCTION
So when the High Voltage is the active display, it will look
like “Figure 3 - 2nd Password Screen” in the PASSWORD
PROTECTION section.
Screen Button
The Screen Button (just below the right display) is used
to change (toggle) to the next Menu screen. The menu
screens wrap around so that after the last screen it will
return to the rst screen.
Atomizer LED
The green Atomizer LED is lit when the Atomizer controller
commands the turbine to spin.
BUTTONS
The seven buttons used to control the viewing and entry
of information on the two 4 X 20 character displays are:
HV/AT Button
The High Voltage/Atomizer Button (just below the right
display) is used to toggle the active display between the
“Atomizer” and “High Voltage” displays. Note that the
active display always has a (block character) in the
lower right corner.
Up and Down Buttons
The buttons above and below the Set Button in the
middle (the Up and Down Buttons) are used to move the
selection indicator vertically to a value to be selected by
the Set Button. When in a value entry menu, the Up and
Down buttons are used to increase or decrease the value
being entered.
Set Button
This labeled button (in the middle) is used to select the
value to change and to enter the change after it has been
made.
Left and Right Buttons
The buttons to the right and left of the Set Button (the
Left and Right Buttons) are used to move the selection
horizontally.

MicroPak 2e Grounding
1. The Power Supply must be referenced to true earth
ground at only one point, through the controller’s
chassis ground connection. (Refer to Figures 10, 11,
and 12 for Grounding Connections.)
2. Shields from the low voltage cable must be connected
to the chassis ground where the controller’s ground
connection is made, then by a 3/4” braid to the building
steel or ground grid if available.

HV Controller - INSTALLATION
3. The low voltage cable has a large amount of high
frequency noise on the shields and grounds from
being in proximity to the high voltage generator. Taking
these grounds
grid through good high frequency conductors (braid)
keeps this high frequency noise from interfering with
the low voltage control circuitry.
4. The feedback signals for kV and μA are developed with
respect to the cascade ground signal (MULTIGND). If
the cascade ground were routed only to earth ground via
the above mentioned shields, the feedback conditioning
circuitry would have to depend on the panel ground or
power supply common to get a ground reference for
the feedback signals. This means the low level return
current for these signals would have to ow to earth
ground and back to the controller via factory ground
directly to earth ground or a ground
or power supply common. This adds large amounts of
noise to these low voltage signals. To combat these
effects, the controller PCB provides a connection for
MULTIGND which is separately routed to the CHGND
pin of J4. This is the single ground point for MULTIGND,
HVGND and logic GND to minimize noise on the
cascade feedback signals.
5. A great deal of testing under high voltage corona
conditions has conrmed that this cascade ground
should be connected directly at a single point to the
signal ground plane of the MicroPak 2e power supply
controller. This single point method maintains a “clean”
feedback signal while limiting the amount of high
frequency noise that is dumped onto the signal ground
and therefore other grounds in the overall system, such
as a PLC or robot.

INTERLOCK CONNECTIONS
Figure 14: Interlock Connector
J5 is supplied to give the end-user access to interlock
connections for integrating the controller into the user’s
system. Three output signals are provided thru dry
contacts (rated 30 VDC @ 2 amps maximum). These
three signals indicate: 1) the state of controller operating
power, 2) when a controller fault exists, and 3) the state
of the controller interlock inputs. Four input signals are
provided which should only be connected to dry contact
outputs from the user’s system. The four interlock
signals are designated as: 1) a door interlock, 2) a
booth air interlock, which can be congured to serve as
an HV Reset input, 3) a miscellaneous interlock, which
can be congured to serve as a HV Trigger input, and
4) a remote stop input which removes power from the
cascade drive circuits when sensed by the Display and
Communications Processor. A fth input which accepts
a 0-10 VDC analog control signal is provided to allow
control of the high voltage setpoint.
NOTE
The fourth interlock input Remote Stop cannot
be disabled through software. If the user does not
wish to use the Remote Stop input, a jumper must be
placed between J5-13 and J5-14 to close the Remote
Stop circuit.
Table 5 shows the pin assignments for the interlock
signals.

controller. It is recommended that these pins not
be run outside of the MP2e enclosure without the
addition of series limiting resistors (3.3K, 1/4w). This
will prevent overloading the MP2e internal current
limit if a positive input is accidentally shorted to
ground. Alternatively, the user can provide a separate
+24VDC supply external to the MP2e to power the (-)
interlock inputs.

HV Controller - OPERATION
START-UP
Before its’ rst use, the following application specic
features of the MicroPak 2e controller must be congured
by the user. Refer to the appendix for 1st time initialization
menus.
• The Over Current Limit (Max µA Limit) must be set to a
value that is appropriate for the paint process being used.
• The di/dt sensitivity must be set to a value appropriate
for the paint process being used.
• If the Ethernet/IP interface will be used, it must
be enabled.
• If Ethernet/IP is being used, an IP address from the
local network must be assigned.
NOTE
The following MicroPak 2e features are congured
at the factory based on the system: 1) Cascade type,
2) If an Atomizer Controller is included, 3) Atomizer
type included, 4) HV Charging Mode, 5) Control
Mode, 6) If a Discrete IO Controller is included, 7)
Cabinet type and 8) If Unilink support is included.
SOFTWARE MISMATCH FAULT
The Micropak 2e family of products incorporate multiple
smart boards. These include:
• A13338-XXXXXXXXXX - Micropak 2e HV & Atomizer
Controller. For replacement use, the user should order
the same model number (-XXXXXXXXXX) listed on
the original invoice. This module includes two separate
boards:
A13239 - Display and Communications Processor.
A13240 - High Voltage Control Processor.
• A13245-X1 - Micropak 2e Multi-Function Board, “X”
indicates quantity of A13248-00 Boards included.
• A13245-X8 - Micropak 2e Multi-Function Board,
Discrete I/O conguration. “X” indicates quantity of
A13248-00 boards included. (Note: currently there are
no Single Bell Controller congurations which include
this board).
Each of these boards has a processor and has software
to run the board. For the MP2e system to be assured
of operating correctly, the software version of each
board must be at the same revision. When the system
starts up, the boards communicate to each other. If the
software versions to do not match, a fault is set. This fault
is displayed as “SwVer Mismatch”. This fault cannot be
cleared or bypassed.
In addition, if MIO Controllers are present, the user must
congure the type, i.e. voltage (0-10V) or current (4-
20mA), of each signal being supplied to the analog inputs
of the MIO controllers.
NOTE
For correct operation of the analog inputs, jumpers
JMP9 to JMP15 on the MIO Controller must also be
set to the matching V or I mode. See the sections on
Atomizer or Discrete IO operation for further details.
LN-9624-00-R3 (05/2018)23 / 74www.carlisleft.com
Under normal circumstances, this fault will never
been seen as all the boards are congured with the same
version of software when shipped from the factory. This
fault situation could occur if one of the boards is replaced
with a new board that has a different version of software
than the other boards in the system. It is important when
purchasing replacement boards to ensure all boards in
your MicroPak 2e have the same version of software.
How To Tell What Version of Software is
Loaded on a Micropak 2e System
When the Micropak 2e system is powered on, it will display the
SW Version of the Display and Communications Processor
board as noted in the image below. The picture is depicting
an example of a system with software version 1.0.02.

Under normal circumstances, the other boards will match
the Display and Communications Processor Board and
there will be no fault reported. If the version of software
on one of the other boards does not match the display
board, a fault will be displayed. This indicates that software needs to be updated on one or more of the other
boards. The following picture is an example showing the

Beginning in MP2e software version V1.1.10, a new
conguration parameter, “Array Member”, has been added.
Some applications place multiple applicators close
together. In some cases, the applicators may be close
enough that one MP2e may detect voltage feedback
which actually originates from an adjacent applicator as
a fault condition. Turning all the near-by applicators on
and off at the same time and at similar levels avoids most
interaction issues. However, if near-by applicators are at
very different output levels, the MP2e at the lower output
level may detect a “Minimum Output” condition which
should not be considered to be a fault condition.
When “Array Member” is set to “Enabled” (“Ena”), the MP2e
will not declare a fault for a “Minimum Output” condition.
“Disabled” is the default setting for “Array Member”.

The conguration options that have been set for your
system at the factory will dictate the MP2e Remote Options
that are available for you to choose from. In the Remote
Options Table above, the “Conguration Options” columns
with the purple header illuminate some of the questions
that need to be answered before Remote Options are
made available to you. These questions include:
1. Do you have a Single Bell Controller (SBC) or a
Control Pak (CP)?
2. Do you have an Atomizer MIO Board congured
as Enabled ?
3. Do you have a Discrete IO Board (DIO) congured
as Enabled ?
Cell entries in the columns with the purple header show
the acceptable answers to these questions for the Remote
Option of interest.
Once you have identied which Remote Options are
available to you based on your factory conguration,
you may choose from among them according to the
instructions found in steps 1-5 above. The Remote
Option Parameter that you choose will be master to the
other system settings shown in the Remote Options
Filtering Table in the “System Options” columns with
the green header. This ensures that related system
parameters are set to compatible and consistent setting
combinations. Cell entries in the columns with green
headers show the settings that system options will be set
to when corresponding Remote Options are chosen. In
the instances where there are two options shown in one
cell - for example: “Dis or Int” - you may use the methods
described in the MP2e Service Manual (LN-9625-00) to
choose how you would like these I/O signals congured.

single characters showing the current state of the front
panel push buttons and switches. This allows a user to
verify that all the front panel switches, shown above, work
as expected.
Typically a lower case letter indicates the corresponding
key is inactive while an upper case letter indicates activity.
Working from left to right across the list of letters we have:
“u U” - the Up arrow button.
“d D” - the Down arrow button.
“l L” - the Left arrow button.
“r R” - the Right arrow button.
“c C” - the SET button located in the Center of the arrows.
“s S” - the Screen button.

“L R” - the Local/Remote switch.
“o O” - the HV On switch.
“r R” - the momentary HV off switch which is used to
Reset faults.
“a A” - the Atomizer on/off switch.
“E e” - the External stop input. Note the “E” indicates the
external contact is closed which is the state required
for normal operation.
1.8V — this reading shows the internal 1.8V DC power
supply. It’s nominal value is 2320.
Sts — this shows the current system state which can
be either Stopped or Faulted.
OPERATING PARAMETERS
AND SETTINGS
Once the system has been placed into Run mode operation,
the Conguration settings previous described can no longer
be adjusted.
There are also several additional operating High Voltage
control parameter settings which can be adjusted with
the system in RUN mode. This section describes these
parameters.
kVSet
This is the voltage setpoint, used in Voltage Control Mode.
The system attempts to keep the voltage at this value when
operating at low current levels, but as the current level is
increased the voltage will be reduced to stay within the
I-V curve of the selected cascade. When operating in
Current Mode, kVSet is not displayed since the upper and
lower voltage limits are determined by kV Low Limit and
kV High Limit.

di/dt Sensitivity
In Voltage Control Mode, this allows the user to control
how rapid a current change can occur before a fault is
generated. Allowable settings are 0 to 60, specied in
units of µAmps per 100 milliseconds. For direct charge
solvent borne applicators, a setting of 15 is suggested as
a starting point.
Anytime a Di/Dt fault occurs, the cause of the fault must
be determined before changes are made to the Di/Dt
Sensitivity. If it is determined to be a nuisance fault, then
the Di/Dt Sensitivity can be incremented to permit a larger
current change per unit of time. This type of fault-analyze-
adjust cycle must be performed repeatedly to be sure the
minimum Di/Dt Sensitivity is being used.
WARNING
!
Setting di/dt Sensitivity arbitrarily high will reduce
the effectiveness of the setting in detecting unsafe
operating conditions. To achieve the safest possible
operation, the user should perform tests to determine
the minimum setting which avoids nuisance faults.
Figure 38: uAmp setpoint
di/dt Ena/Dis
This allows the user to enable or disable the controller’s
detection of rapid current increases. This feature is only
available in Voltage Control Mode and is not recommended
for indirect charge applications.
The Di/Dt detection feature improves the ability of the
power supply to prevent discharges when a grounded
object is approaching at rates greater than approximately 4
inches per second. Slower rates of approach are typically
sensed by Max µA Limit, assuming Max µA Limit was
properly set. The Di/Dt Sensitivity and Max µA Limit must
be set correctly to minimize discharges when using metal
(unlisted) applicators.

This allows the user to enable or disable the controller’s

In current control mode, this allows the user to control how
rapid a voltage change can occur before a fault is generated.
Allowable settings are 0 to 60 (kV per 100 milliseconds).
A setting of 15 is suggested as a starting point for Solvent
borne paint.
WARNING
!
Setting dv/dt Sensitivity arbitrarily high will reduce
the effectiveness of the setting in detecting unsafe
operating conditions. To achieve the safest possible
operation, the user should perform tests to determine
the minimum setting which avoids nuisance faults.
This parameter determines the level where a Current
Limit Fault occurs. It is the primary means of preventing
discharges when the current level rises slowly. Therefore
to ensure safe operation this setting, like the previously
discussed Di/Dt Sensitivity, should be carefully set to the
minimum value which eliminates nuisance faults. For
Solvent borne applications, a value of 30 is a reasonable
starting point.
When the current is greater than 90% of this value, a Current
Limit Warning is generated. When the current rises above
this value, it issues a Current Limit Fault.
kV Low Limit
This parameter determines the level where a kV Low Limit
Fault occurs. When the Voltage falls below this value, it
issues a kV Lo Fault. It only applies in Current Mode.

passwords required to change each parameter.

HV Controller - OPERATION
CONTROL CONDITIONS
Power Up
On power up, the system does several checks to determine
hardware status. It checks various signals to determine that
there are no faults, including feedback from the Variable
Voltage Output and High Voltage Inputs to determine
system status. If it determines that it is OK to start, the
Check display on the run menu changes from VOL or INT
to OK and System Status changes to OK.
HV On
When the HV On signal is received and Check is OK, the
system status changes to “Starting” and the Variable Voltage
Output is increased until the Independent Value rises to
within a tolerance window (currently +/-3) of the setpoint
value. Then the System Status changes to “Running”.
Setpoint Changed
If the setpoint changes outside the control window, the
status changes to “Rising” or “Falling” until the Independent
Value again reaches the control window at which point it
returns to “Running”.
WARN
System has detected a current or voltage condition within
10% of the limit settings. The abbreviation stands for Warning.
FALT
System has detected a fault condition, stopped and will not
allow starting until the fault is reset. If the fault condition has
not been cleared, it may immediately fault without starting.
The abbreviation stands for Fault.
SYSTEM CHECK (CHK)
OK
System has passed the checks and is ready to start.
POWER
System is detecting a lack of cascade power.
INTLK
System is detecting an interlock failure.
HV Off
When HV Off is activated the system immediately sets
the Variable Voltage Output to zero volts, disables the HV
Relay and goes to Stop Mode.
The System Check goes to OK. However, before allowing the
output to be enabled again, it checks the High Voltage and
Variable Voltage Output feedback signals to verify that they
have both decreased since the high voltage was disabled.
SYSTEM STATUS (STS)
STRT / RISE / FALL / STPG
System is changing from one voltage/current value to another.
Di/dt and dv/dt checks are disabled. The abbreviations stand
for Starting. Rising, Falling and Stopping.
RUN
System is attempting to keep a steady value on Setpoint
(the Independent Value). All enabled checks are active.
STPD
System output is off and awaiting a command. The
abbreviation stands for Stopped.
SYSTEM FAULT BEHAVIOR
The following tables specify how High Voltage or Atomizer
Faults effect the operation of each other.
VOLTG
System has detected excessive voltage on the High Voltage
or Variable Voltage Output Feedback signals and will not
allow a start.
NOTE
Sometimes the operating conditions can cause
VOLTG to display, such as:
1. A system with multiple applicators near each
other, where some applicators are ON/active and
others are OFF/inactive. The inactive applicators
can receive / detect the voltage generated and
fed back by the active applicators.
2. A system with an RP-404, which has a slow
discharge rate (bleed-down), when the system
is turned off. This VOLTG will display while the
charge is dissipating, then changes to OK.
INTLK
System is detecting an interlock failure.

NOTE
When dening the IO Instances to the host
system, specify the input object of the controller as
the output object of the host and the output object
of the controller as the input object of the host.
The Ethernet/IP interface of the MicroPak
2e only supports Real-Time Implicit messaging
using the Assemblies specied in this manual.
The use of Explicit messaging to read and
set individual parameters is not supported.
Sending commands to the MP2e while it is starting
up and has not yet entered RUN STATE should be
avoided as it may result in unexpected behavior.
Starting with V1.1.02, any incoming Ethernet/IP
commands will be ignored until the MP2e has entered
RUN STATE.
The Input bit denitions are shown in Table 8 and the Output
bit denitions are shown in Table 9 on the following pages.

Atomizer Controller - INTRODUCTION
SPEED CONTROL
The Atomizer Controller is used in a closed-loop rotational
speed control system for rotary atomizers as shown in
Figure 47. It accepts a requested speed command and,
after comparing this with the actual speed feedback from
the atomizer, provides an output to maintain the requested
speed.
When a speed request is received, the controller activates
the Turbine Drive signal which controls the output of an E
to P transducer providing an air pilot signal to a 1:1 volume
booster. The volume booster supplies high volume drive air
to the rotary atomizer.
The atomizer speed is monitored by a ber optic cable to a
ber optic transceiver mounted on the Atomizer Controller
board. The transceiver provides a speed feedback signal
to the Atomizer Controller which is timed to determine the
rotational speed. The speed, in increments of 1000’s rpm,
is displayed on the MicroPak 2e Controller front panel.
An optional braking system provides for rapid slowdown.
When changing speeds from high to low (change greater
than 3,000 rpm), the controller provides an electrical brake
signal to drive a pneumatic solenoid which delivers high
pressure air to the brake input of the atomizer. Ransburg
part numbers, for each of the components described, are
listed in the MicroPak 2e High Voltage Controller Parts List
located in this manual.
NOTE
A speed command of 1 krpm is recognized
by the controller as an emergency stop condition
and will cause the brake to stay engaged until the
speed reaches 2 krpm from which the turbine will
coast to a stop.
A speed command of 0 krpm does not actuate
the brake but allows the turbine to coast to a stop
condition.
Figure 47: MicroPak 2e Controller/Atomizer Minimal System
LN-9624-00-R3 (05/2018)46 / 74www.carlisleft.com
Page 47
EN
The speed feedback signal is designed to drop out at about
2 krpm and the controller will set a Loss of Feedback Fault.
A new speed command will reset the fault at the Atomizer
Controller, but the MicroPak 2e Controller will only reset
its fault indication when commanded by the Ethernet/IP
interface or the front panel HV On/Off switch.
An electrical input is provided and required for atomizer
bearing air sensing and interlock. Minimum bearing air
pressure threshold is set at 80 psi.
The following table lists the maximum allowed speed
and minimum bearing air for atomizers supported by
the Atomizer Controller. While there are no minimum
speed limits set by the Atomizer Controller, the low speed
operation is limited by the drop out of the speed feedback
signal at about 2 krpm.

Atomizer Controller - OPERATION
OPERATION
The Atomizer Controller currently supports three different
operating modes with varying levels of capabilities.
Remote Ethernet/IP Control
This mode gives the remote system full access
atomizer parameters and allows control of starting and
stopping as well as collection of fault information.
Remote Discrete Control
This mode is only available when Ethernet/IP is disabled.
While it provides no access to the atomizer parameters, it
does allow the remote system to control starting, stopping
and various other functions provided through the Atomizer
Controller inputs and outputs. See tables 16, 17, 18, and
19 for a complete list of I/O functions.
Local Front Panel Control
This mode is available whenever the MicroPak 2e Controller
is in Local mode. In the current software release, operation
is limited to starting and stopping the atomizer by means
of the Atomizer On/Off switch located on the front panel.

this interlock is to prevent uid from being applied when it
could easily ood the turbine. The second interlock prevents
the solvent control output (i.e. Bell Cup, Disk or Gun Wash)
from activating when the high voltage controller is active.
This is done to minimize the risk of a re caused by a high
voltage discharge while solvent uid is present.

1. Overspeed: If the speed feedback exceeds the speed
setpoint.
Liquid Bell - 10,000 rpm above setpoint
Disk - any speed over 30 krpm
Time delay is 0.5 seconds
2. Underspeed: If the speed feedback is less than the
speed setpoint:.
Liquid Bell - 10,000 rpm under setpoint
Disk - No underspeed checks made
Time delay is 0.5 seconds.
3. Loss of Feedback: Senses when feedback should be
present but is not.
Pulses received from the ber optics must

5. Low Bearing Air Pressure: If the bearing air pressure
feedback drops below the minimum bearing air threshold.
There is a 4 second time delay for all settings.
6. Interlock Open: If an active interlock is opened while
the atomizer is running, all outputs will be disabled and
a brake assisted ESTOP will be done before faulting.
Out of Tolerance (WARNING)
Speed is not within +/- 5% of setpoint, no internal
action taken, 1 second delay.
Signal may be used externally as desired.
INTERFACING CONSIDERATIONS
When using an Atomizer there are some operational
restrictions that must be observed to avoid damaging the
turbine. Six of these conditions were listed in the Automatic
Shutdown section and are automatically enforced by the
Atomizer Controller. There are also two other conditions
which the controller is programmed to prevent. Both involve
stopping the ow of paint to the bell. 1) When the Atomizer
is not spinning, and 2) When the HV has faulted. These
operational interlocks are accomplished by deactivating the
signals Paint Trigger #1 and Paint Trigger #2 whenever the
Atomizer is not running, or the HV controller is FAULTED.
CAUTION
!
If the user chooses not to use the discrete outputs
Paint Trigger #1 and Paint Trigger #2 provided by
the Atomizer Controller, then they are responsible
for implementing comparable interlocks between
Atomizer and HV operation and paint ow. Failure to
do so may result in a turbine failure or increased risk
of a re.
Ethernet/IP INTERFACE
The Ethernet/IP Interface for the Atomizer Controller is
dened as two assembly instances that contain the MicroPak
2e interface in the rst four words of the input and output sets.
Six additional words for the Atomizer Controller have been
added at the end of the MicroPak 2e Ethernet/IP interface.
This means that the Atomizer Controller interface is a
set of ten 16 bit words of input plus a set of ten 16 bit
words of output. The Assembly instances are dened as
objects 101 (0x65) and 117 (0x75), where object 101 is
the input assembly and object 117 is the output assembly.
A Conguration assembly is not used and can be dened
as 1 with a size of 0.
Since the rst four words of the Atomizer Controller interface
are identical to those dened for the MicroPak 2, the following
interface description only includes the six words which are
specic to the Atomizer Controller. The Input bit denitions
are shown in Table 11 and the Output bit denitions are
shown in Table 12 on the following pages.
NOTE
When dening the IO Instances to the host
system, specify the input object of the controller as
the output object of the host and the output object
of the controller as the input object of the host.
The Ethernet/IP interface of the MicroPak
2e only supports Real-Time Implicit messaging
using the Assemblies specied in this manual.
The use of Explicit messaging to read and
set individual parameters is not supported.
Sending commands to the MP2e while it is
USER DEFINED I-O’S
When the Ethernet/IP Interface for the Atomizer Controller
is enabled, the denition of the discrete IO’s is expanded to
provide two user dened discrete inputs and two discrete
outputs. The two inputs are passed directly to the PLC or
Robot via the Ethernet/IP interface. Both inputs are available
for use by the control system to read the state of suitable
input signals. Similarly, the two outputs are under the direct
control of the PLC or Robot via the Ethernet/IP interface.
The inputs are designed to accept a 0 to 24 VDC signal
and the outputs provide a 0 to 24 VDC signal which can
source up to 250 mA.

Discrete IO Controller - INTRODUCTION
DISCRETE IO CONTROLLER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Discrete IO Controller, for use with the MicroPak 2e
Controller, is designed to provide a universal I/O interface
for high voltage controller functions. It is intended to be
used in installations which do not support the standard
MicroPak 2e Ethernet/IP control interface.
NOTE
When the Discrete IO option is ordered and
enabled by the factory, this indicates the user intends
to use physically wired I/O signals to control the
system. Therefore the software will disable the ability
for the user to enable the Ethernet IP functionality.

The Discrete IO Controller supports two operating
modes.
Remote Discrete Control
Remote control mode is activated when the front panel
Local/Remote switch is set to the Remote position. In
this mode, the Discrete IO controller’s inputs are used
to control the operation of the HV controller.
Local Front Panel Control
This mode is activated whenever the front panel Local/
Remote switch of the MicroPak 2e Controller is set to Local.
In this mode, the MicroPak 2e HV controller is operated
from the front panel controls.
Control Input Scaling
The scaling of the analog control inputs is determined by
the conguration of the MP2e.

Each of the MP2e boards have DIP switches. These are
congured at the factory and should be left as received.
The following information is included to support servicing.
Both the High Voltage Control Processor and the Display
and Communications Processor boards have a 2 position
dip switch labeled S1. Switch 1 is not currently used and
switch 2 which is for factory use only, should remain in the
CLOSED position for normal operation.
Likewise, the MicroPak 2e Multifunction I/O Boards
(Atomizer and Discrete IO Controllers) contain a 6 position
dip switch labeled S1. The rst four switch positions are
used to determine the I/O function of the Multi I/O Board.
For the Atomizer board, switches 1, 3 & 4 must be CLOSED
and switch 2 must be OPEN. For the Discrete IO board,
switches 1, 2 & 3 must be CLOSED and switch 4 must be
OPEN. On both boards, switch 5 is not currently used and
switch 6, which is for factory use only, should remain in the
CLOSED position for normal operation.
Connecting MIO / DIO Controllers
When an Atomizer Controller or a Discrete IO Controller is
used with a MicroPak2e. the Controller’s Multi-Function IO
Board(s) must be connected to the MP2e HVCP board via
Cat 5 Ethernet cabling. When a single add-on controller is
present, the cable should run from J8 or J9 of the add-on
controller to J17 or J18 of the MP2e HVCP Controller board.
When more than one add-on controller is used, the second
and subsequent controllers should be connected to the
remaining open port (J8 or J9) of the preceding controller.
This use of a daisy chain connection is acceptable, since
all the MicroPak 2e boards use a 3 port Ethernet Switch
to implement external Ethernet connections.
Discrete IO Characteristics
Both the MP2e Interlock Inputs and the MIO Discrete
Inputs are implemented as a resistor divider followed by a
lter capacitor, feeding into a Schmidt trigger. This input
conguration requires that the applied input voltage (0-24V)
is referenced to the 24V ground of the controller.
The MIO Discrete Outputs are implemented using IC drivers
which source current from the 24VDC controller power. The
current draw on these outputs should not exceed 250 mA.
Atomizer Operation
When deciding how to control an atomizer, there are several
important issues to consider.
1. The atomizer must not be run without an adequate
supply of bearing air.
2. The ow of paint must be interlocked with the atomizer’s
rotation. That is, paint must not ow if the atomizer is
not rotating. Failure to stop the ow of paint will result
in “ooding” which can destroy an atomizer.
3.
The ow of paint must be interlocked with the fault state
of the HV controller. That is, paint must not ow if the HV
controller is faulted. Failure to observe this could increase
the risk of res.
4. The ow of solvent must be interlocked with the
atomizer’s rotation and also with the high voltage control.
Compliance with item 1 is built into the Atomizer Controller
and requires user action to defeat. The user is responsible
for the effects of defeating this operational interlock.
Compliance with items 2 and 3 is easily achieved by using
the Paint Trigger outputs of the Atomizer Controller. The
controller has been programmed to interlock these outputs
with the atomizer’s rotation and the lack of a HV controller
fault, thereby freeing the user from adding additional control
logic to meet these requirement. This behavior is included
in all input modes.
Compliance with item 4 is also easily achieved by using
the Wash output (Bell Cup/Disk/Gun) of the Atomizer
Controller. The controller has been programmed to interlock
this output with the high voltage controller, so that if high
voltage controller is enabled, the Bell Cup Wash output will
not activate. This will prevent solvent from being dispensed
when high voltage is present.

CAUTION
!
INTEGRATION NOTES
• Monitor the Ethernet/IP control network to conrm it
remains isolated.
Failure to interlock the flow of paint with atom-
izer rotation may cause damage to the atomizer.
Atomizer Interlock Behavior
To help implement a safer paint booth, the High Voltage
controller has been programmed to provide the state of
the interlocks to the Atomizer controller with each update
packet. This enables the Atomizer Controller to perform a
forced stop, using the air brake, if an interlock opens while
the atomizer is in motion. In addition, the atomizer controller
will also immediately disable the paint and solvent outputs.
Atomizer - MP2e Power Cycling
When the MP2e power is cycled quickly using the front panel
switch (i.e. OFF for less than 3 seconds), an Atomizer fault
may occur. This is because the Atomizer Controller executes
a reboot operation every time a failure of the RansNet
communications link is detected. This behavior ensures
the Atomizer Controller always has current conguration
data from the MP2e.
Ethernet/IP Networking
It is important to use a suitably congured network for Ethernet/
IP communications. Ransburg’s recommendations follow:
• Use a private switched LAN for an Ethernet/IP
control network.
•
If remote monitoring from the plant LAN is necessary, use
a managed gateway to limit access to the private LAN.
For further guidance refer to ODVA document: Network
Infrastructure for Ethernet/IPTM, Publication Number:
PUB00035R0.
Ethernet/IP TCP Conguration
The present implementation of TCP Conguration through
Ethernet/IP, requires that the MicroPak 2e does not have
another active Ethernet/IP connection when the TCP
Conguration message exchange occurs. This means that
if a PC is being used to set the TCP conguration, there
must not be a PLC or robot link to the MicroPak 2e (i.e.
the Fault Menu Screen must show “eip” in lower case).
Ethernet/IP Monitoring of MP2e Faults
When programming the controlling PLC to detect faults the
user should always:
• Use bit 6 of output word zero to detect a Voltage
Controller fault.
• Use bit 6 of output word four to detect an Atomizer
Controller fault.
The bits contained in output words zero, one, four and ve
are provided to aid fault isolation. These bits should not be
relied on for fault detection, since it is not guaranteed that
a fault will always set an isolating bit.
•
For large installations the use of a switch which supports
IGMP Snooping is recommended. These switches can
direct multicast trafc to only the multicast group members
instead of broadcasting it to all connected ports.
• Do not allow Internet access from the Ethernet/IP
control network.
NOTE
The MicroPak 2e does not support
communications.
Many PLCs and robots make use of multicast
communications to minimize packet transmissions.
Low cost Ethernet switches treat these as broadcasts
and send these messages to all connected devices.
This can present a substantial processing load for
devices which are not group members.
multicast
Sending Ethernt/IP Remote Commands
Sending commands to the MP2e while it is starting up and
has not yet entered RUN STATE should be avoided as it
may result in unexpected behavior.
Starting with V1.1.02, any incoming Ethernet/IP commands
will be ignored until the MP2e has entered RUN STATE.
The MP2e now provides Ethernet/IP Outputs (Word 0, Bit
13 and Word 4, Bit 13) which will be set (“1”) when the
MP2e is not in RUN STATE.

• J5-7/8 (+/-) Door Interlock
• CAN BE disabled (Ignored)
• J5-9/10 (+/-) Booth Air Interlock / HV_Reset
• CAN BE disabled (Ignored)

• CAN BE congured as Misc. Interlock
• CAN BE congured as Trigger (HV_On) signal
• NOT available if Ethernet/IP enabled
• NOT available if DIO enabled
• Only active in REMOTE operation
• Requires use of KV_Setpoint input signal for
setting KV output level (no input signal will
result in a KV Setpoint of 0KV)
• J5-13/14 (+/-) Remote Stop
• ALWAYS active
• J5–15/16 (+/Gnd) KV Setpoint
• NOT available if Ethernet/IP enabled
• NOT available if DIO enabled
• Only active in REMOTE operation
NOTE
Currently there is NO standard SBC conguration
which routes this signal pair outside of the SBC
enclosure.
Currently there are 4 pairs of unassigned pins on
the SBC Interlock connector.
Priority of inputs affecting the enabling
of HV output
• Front panel switch for local/remote has highest priority
• Changing the state of the switch will :
• Disable HV_Output_Enabled (if active)
• NOT affect any interlock faults
• Change which reset input signals are enabled
for clearing faults (local or remote)
• In “Remote Mode” (with Ethernet/IP and DIO disabled):
• Any enabled and active Interlocks have next
highest priority
• HV_Reset (HVC.J5-9) is ignored
• HV_On_Trigger (HVC.J5-11) is ignored
• System is in FALT mode
• HV_Output is Off
• HV_Reset (HVC.J5-9) has the next highest priority
While active it will:
• Override the HV_On_Trigger signal enabling of HV_
Output_Enabled and put system into STPD mode
• HV_On_Trigger will NOT automatically retrigger
• HV_On_Trigger (HVC.J5-11) has the lowest priority
• On its rising edge going active, it will enable HV_
Output_Enabled and puts system in RUN mode
•
On its falling edge going inactive, HV_Output_
Enabled will remain active until HV_Reset
becomes active

Cable Fault (CF)
The Cable Fault indicates the control unit
does not detect a high voltage section on
the end of the cable. The fault typically
occurs at a high voltage trigger.
1. Check for loose wiring between the pc board
connector and the high voltage section by pulling
on each wire. Repair if necessary. Ensure both
connectors are secure and re-test for CF fault.
2. Replace high voltage section or send unit in for repair.
3. Send unit in for repair.
4. Low Voltage cable interface, poor or no connection.
5. No Low Voltage cable.
NOTE
When the system is congured as “CabinetType
= ControlPak”, there is a front panel menu option
for “FluidInterlock”. When “FluidInterlock” is set to
“Disabled”, that will turn off Atomizer checking for
faults and warnings.
