System Overview
The PCF fluid metering system combines closed-loop
pressure control with the ability to change bead profiles
quickly. When used with the optional flow meter, the
module automatically adjusts for fluctuations in the operating environment, such as material viscosity, temperature, tip wear, and automation speed, while maintaining
the desired dispense rate. The module responds to
automation-supplied signals to provide an accurate and
consistent output flow based on a comparison of actual
to desired flow rates.
Typical Applications
•Bead dispensing
•Gasketing
•Seam sealing
•Hem flange
•Sound deadening
•Anti-flutter
•Body panel reinforcement
•Profile wrapping
•Cable filling
System Components
The diagram in FIG. 3 shows an example of the PCF
module and cables.
Control Center (User Interface)
The control center communicates with the PCF fluid
plate assembly to control fluid pressure and dispense
valve operation.
The control center receives input from the automation
controller, and uses these inputs to determine communication to the fluid plate assembly.
Fluid Plate Assembly
The fluid plate assembly contains components that control and monitor fluid dispensing.

Fluid Plate Assembly Overview
Fluid Plate Components
The fluid plate assembly in FIG. 4 can be attached to an
automation arm or mounted on a pedestal. The main
components of the fluid plate assembly include:
•Fluid regulator (cartridge, ambient mastic, or heated
mastic) (P).
•Flow meter (R) (optional) precisely measures the
flow rate of fluid dispensed.
•Solenoid air valve (S) controls the dispense valve.
•V/P regulator (T) adjusts the air pressure to the fluid
regulator (P).
•Fluid Control Module (FCM) (U) receives pulse readings from the flow meter (R) and pressure readings
from the regulator. It also controls the fluid regulator
(P) and solenoid air valve (S).
The PCF fluid regulator is electrically controlled by the
PCF fluid control module. Consistent material flow is
assured by a closed-loop pressure or closed-loop flow
control design. The module responds to automation-supplied signals to provide an accurate and consistent output flow based on a comparison of actual to
desired flow rates. The fluid regulator uses air pressure
to control fluid pressure and to provide fast response to
electronic commands and ensure a precisely controlled,
continuous flow of material.
The fluid plate assembly is available in two versions:
ambient and heated.
Ambient Fluid Plate Assembly
There are four ambient versions available:
•cartridge regulator without a flow meter;
•ambient mastic regulator without a flow meter;
•cartridge regulator with a high resolution meter;
•ambient mastic regulator with a high resolution
meter.
Heated Fluid Plate Assembly
There are two heated versions available:
•heated mastic fluid regulator with a heated flow
meter,
•and a heated mastic fluid regulator without a
flow meter.

Ground
NOTICE
If power and grounding connections are not done
properly, the equipment will be damaged and the
warranty voided.
Ground the fluid plate assembly as instructed here and
in the individual component manuals. Make sure the
fluid plate assembly and its components are installed
correctly to ensure proper grounding.
Air and Fluid Hoses
For static dissipation, use only electrically conductive
hoses or ground the applicator / dispense valves.
Dispense Valve
Follow the grounding instructions in the dispense valve
manual.
•Air must be clean and dry, between 60-120 psi
(0.41-0.82 MPa, 4.14-8.27 bar). Flush air line before
plumbing in air filter assembly (234967). Plumb in air
filter assembly near air drop site (upstream of fluid
plate module). Adding an air regulator to this line will
provide more consistent dispense valve response
times.
•Connect an air supply line to the 1/4 npt inlet port on
the fluid module(s) air supply inlet.
•Connect 5/32 in. or 4 mm OD air lines from the applicator's solenoid valve to the applicator. Plug any
unused solenoid ports.
NOTE: To maximize system performance keep the
dispense hose length and ID as small as the application will allow.
Connect Fluid and Air Lines
NOTICE
Route all fluid and air lines carefully. Avoid pinching
and premature wear due to excessive flexing or rubbing. Hose life is directly related to how well they are
supported.
Follow the instructions in your separate component
manuals to connect air and fluid lines. The following are
only general guidelines.
•The PCF fluid plate assembly should be installed on
the automation unit or in another appropriate place,
as close as practical to the dispense valve.
•Connect a fluid line between the fluid plate outlet and
the dispense valve. Smaller diameter and shorter
fluid lines (hoses) will provide better fluid system
response.
•Connect a fluid line to the flow meter fluid inlet or to
the regulator inlet if your system does not have a
flow meter.

On/Off Delays
The PCF fluid regulator can physically respond faster
than the dispense device and its solenoid. As a result,
the fluid 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 the
next cycle.
To eliminate these two problems, change the delay time
associated with the opening of the fluid regulator/dispense and/or the closing of the dispense device, see
Table 5: On/Off Delay Variables. For instructions setting on/off delays, see Configure Delay Settings, page
28.
NOTE: On/Off delay can be set for each dispense
device.
In general, delays should be adjusted so the outlet pressure during “no flow” is slightly below the outlet pressure
during dispense.

Maintenance Mode Operation
Operating from maintenance mode enables the module
to begin dispensing when the user presses . Dis-
pense parameters and duration depend on the selected
control. Dispensing continues for as long as is
pressed.
Verify System Operation
Use maintenance mode to manually check the operation
of the PCF system components before switching over to
automation control (normal operation). See Dispense From Maintenance Screen, page 36, for instructions
on operating from maintenance mode.
NOTE: Perform any of the following procedures
while in maintenance mode.
Set Inlet Pressure
The inlet pressure reading should be in the range of 300
psi (2.1 MPa, 21 bar) to 500 psi (3.4 MPa, 34 bar) above
the outlet pressure reading under your highest flow condition.
Dispense from Each Gun
Dispense from each gun that will be used in normal
operation to confirm that the entire system is installed
correctly and is capable of delivering desired results.
Follow the steps outlined in Dispense From Mainte-nance Screen, page 36, to perform each of the following applicable system verification checks.
•For each gun that will be used during normal operation, dispense at each pressure or flow rate that will
be used during normal operation. This verification
check confirms that the system is capable of delivering material at a maximum desired operating point.
•For systems that will operate multiple guns in pressure mode at the same time, dispense from each
gun at the same time. This verification check confirms that the system is capable of delivering material at a maximum desired operating point.
•For each gun operating in bead mode, perform an
initial teaching process. Follow this procedure after
significant system and/or material characteristic
changes.

NOTICE
Excessive inlet pressure will cause accelerated wear
on the regulating valve and the pump feed system.
Feed System Pressure Drop
During material flow, the regulator inlet pressure
decreases. The amount the pressure decreases is the
amount of pressure lost between the feed pump and the
regulator inlet.
With high viscosity fluids, long line lengths, or small
diameter line sizes this pressure decrease 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.

NOTE: During the initial system operation verification, it may take four to five seconds for the system
to learn system characteristics.
b. Continue to press for several seconds
after the desire flow rate is reached to confirm
that the system is capable of maintaining the
desired flow rate.

Verify Flow Meter Calibration
Most sealant and adhesive materials are compressible.
Since the flow meter measures 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 either of the following methods to calibrate the
flow meter during initial setup and on a routine basis to
check for flow meter wear.
Method 1. Using a gram scale
1. Record the flow meter k-factor shown on the Flowmeter Settings screen (Fluid Plate - screen 4). See
F
IG. 20 on page 28.
2. Use a 500 cc or larger beaker. Measure the mass of
the empty beaker.
3. Manually dispense material into the beaker. Hold
the beaker so that the stream of material is submerged in the captured material to minimize air
entrapment in the container.
4. Record the volume dispensed on the Home screen
1. See F
IG. 25 on page 36.
5. Calculate the actual volume dispensed:
6. Calculate the new flow meter K-factor:
7. Enter new K-factor.
8. Repeat the procedure to verify the new K-factor.
Method 2. Without using a gram scale, visual measurement
1. Record the flow meter k-factor shown on the Flowmeter Settings screen (Fluid Plate - screen 4). See
F
IG. 20 on page 28.
2. Use a 500 cc or larger beaker. Measure the mass of
the empty beaker.
3. Manually dispense material into the beaker. Hold
the beaker so that the stream of material is submerged in the captured material to minimize air
entrapment in the container.
4. Record the volume dispensed on the Home screen

5. Settle the material into the beaker and view the
actual volume dispensed.
6. Calculate the new flow meter K-factor:
7. Enter new K-factor.
8. Repeat the procedure to verify the new K-factor.
Manually Adjust Control Loop Parameters
NOTE: It is recommended that these values not be
changed from the factory defaults of 32.00 for Kp,
128.00 for Ki, and 0.00 for Kd.
If the system is not maintaining the desired setpoint
while in pressure or bead control mode, manually
change the Kp and Ki values:
NOTE: Pressure parameters should be adjusted first,
even if you typically operate in bead control mode.
1. Begin dispensing material.
NOTE: Begin a new dispense each time control parameters are changed.
2. If the regulator outlet pressure does not closely fol-low the desired pressure, set Ki to zero then
increase Kp until the proper pressure control is
achieved.
3. If the regulator outlet pressure oscillates rapidly above and below the commanded pressure,
decrease Kp by 10%. Continue to decrease the Kp
value in 10% increments until the outlet pressure is
stable.
4. Set Ki value to 2 then increase the Ki value until the
system oscillates.
5. Decrease Ki until oscillation stops.
6. Optional: To fine tune the step response in pressure
mode, gradually increase the Kd value.
NOTE: Increasing Kd (pressure only) is typically not
necessary but it may improve step response. However
setting Kd too high may cause the system to oscillate.
7. Stop dispensing.

Operation
Automation Control (Normal)
Operation
During automation control (normal operation) the module automatically dispenses when it receives a command from the automation unit.
The automation control operates using the concept of
jobs and styles. For a detailed explanation of jobs and
how they work within the PCF system, see Jobs on
page 37. For a detailed explanation of styles and how
they work within the PCF system, see Styles on page
38.
Jobs
NOTE: See Appendix D - I/O Signal Descriptions,
page 111, for automation input and output signal
descriptions.
A job is a specified amount of material that is dispensed
by the system. The amount of material specified for a
job varies, depending on the application. In some applications, a job may be the amount of material dispensed
on a part. Other applications may define a job to be the
amount of material dispensed on a number of parts or
dispensed over a period of time.
A job is initiated when the automation sends a Style
Strobe signal to the PCF. Once the job is initiated, the
PCF will start tracking the amount of volume requested
by the automation and the amount of material that is
actually dispensed. These volumes will be tracked until
the job is completed. At the end of the job, fault calculations are made and the volumes are stored to non-volatile memory on the PCF system (Job Log).
The PCF system monitors two things to determine when
a job is complete. Either the Dispense Complete signal
is sent by the automation or the job complete timer
expires. The type of job end signal is configured in the
Fluid Plate Control Settings screen to Timer or Gateway. If the timer method is used, the timer begins counting every time the dispense gun is turned off. If the gun
stays off for more than the preset timer value, the job is
considered complete.
Actual (Measured) Volume - The amount of material
measured by the flow meter during a job.
Requested Volume - The amount of material that the
automation tries to dispense during a job. This volume is
calculated by measuring how long the dispense gun is
on, taking in effect the command voltage from the automation over time.
Target Volume - The theoretical amount of material that
a job should have. This value is usually calculated or
found using trial and error when the application is first
set up.
Jobs in Bead Mode
In Bead Mode, all of these volumes are monitored. The
High Volume, Low Volume, and Computed Target faults
are evaluated at the end of the job. The volume alarms
compare the measured volume to the requested volume
and the computed target alarm compares the requested
volume to the target volume.
Jobs in Pressure Mode
In Pressure Mode, the requested volume is not measured. In this mode, the automation command voltage
corresponds to a pressure instead of flow rate. For this
reason the requested volume is not available (as well as
the Computed Target fault). The high and low volume
alarms compare the measured volume to the target volume for pressure mode.
Continuously Running Applications
In some cases the target volume for a job is not known.
An example of a case where the target volume is
unknown is a continuously running system. This would
be a system that does not run jobs, but runs continuously over a day or a shift. In this case, the flow rate
becomes more important than the amount of volume
dispensed in a job. The way to handle this situation is to
set the target volume to a value of zero. This effectively
disables the computed target fault. The controls will still
maintain the desired flow rate and report faults corresponding to the tolerance set for the running style.
Once the job is complete, the job information is stored to
memory. The most recent jobs can be viewed on the
Job screen. The information stored with each job is as
follows. See Job Report Screens, page 97, for instructions on how to view job reports.
313377L37

Operation
Styles
The PCF system has the ability to handle up to 255
styles, depending on the selected option. Styles typically
correspond to different components of a specific system.
NOTE: The number of available styles depends on
the system configuration. See Models on page 4.
Style 0 is specified for purging only.
For each style, an independent target volume and tolerance can be configured. This allows for job-related
faults and logs to be evaluated for each style. The style
is read at the beginning of a job and cannot be changed
until the next job has been initiated.

Precharge Modes
Operation
NOTE: See the diagram on the following page.
Static Precharge Mode
Display
When Display precharge mode is selected, a static precharge pressure can be defined. When a job is active
and all dispense valves are closed, the regulator will
maintain the defined precharge pressure.
Valve 1
When the “Valve 1” precharge mode is selected, the
outlet pressure will be set according to the current pressure/flow command using Valve 1 scaling values.
Dynamic Precharge Mode
Dynamic precharge control allows the system to better
prepare for the upcoming dispense. The pressure/flow
command is used to actively set the outlet pressure to
the ideal pressure while all dispense valves are closed
and provide a boost while the valve is opening to help
accelerate material.
The “Closed” scaling will be applied when all dispense
valves are closed and the “Opening” scaling will be
applied immediately after a dispense valve starts to
open and continue for the user-specified duration (in
milliseconds). The precharge scaling values modify the
control signals that are necessary to obtain the desired
pressure/flow. The precharge pressure can be changed
dynamically throughout the job by varying the pressure/flow command value.

Typical Job Cycle
In order for the system to run it must be in the active
state (status light on ADM is green). Before a job begins
the robot outputs should have the following values:
•Style Strobe: 0
•Dispense Complete: 0
•Dispense Gun x On: all should be 0
•Style: Any value is acceptable
A typical job cycle consists of the following dispensing
sequence. See Control Charts, page 43.
1. The robot checks that Dispenser Ready signal is set
to 1. If it is set to 1, a job can begin.
2. The robot sets the Style to the next desired style
value.
3. The robot sets the Style Strobe to 1.
4. PCF reads the Style bits to select the new style. The
system then starts a new job and sets Dispense In
Process to 1.
5. The robot begins dispensing. The robot sets and
clears Dispense Gun x On bits as desired throughout the course of the job.
7. PCF sets the following signals based on the results
of the job. The robot should not read these signals
until after the system clears the Dispense In Process signal.
•Dispenser No Alarm
•Dispenser No Error
•Dispense Volume OK
•Error
•Dispensed Volume
8. PCF clears Dispense In Process to 0 to indicate the
job is complete and all signals from step 7 are valid.
9. The robot must clear Dispense Complete and Style
Strobe (either can be cleared first) before the next
job can start.

applicator to start a job. This configuration is useful for
less demanding applications that do not require a full
automation interface.
The following limitations apply when starting a job with
this configuration:
6. When the dispense is complete the robot sets Dispense Complete to 1.
•The style must always be set to Style 1.
•There can be up to a 100 ms delay before dispensing while PCF prepares for the new job
cycle.
•The job end mode timer must be used to end a
job.

Precharge* - Display Mode
Dispense Trigger Source = Command Cable
Precharge* - Valve 1 Mode
*Precharge: After starting a job and prior to opening the dispense valve, the fluid pressure is
increased to try to match the dispensing pressure. This helps the consistency of the dispense.
Shaded areas indicate the precharge is active.
†Only applies to command signals when either “Command Cable” or “gateway” is selected as “Com-
mand Value Source”. In systems containing an automation gateway DGM, when “Digital” is
selected as the “Command Value Type”, the “Digital CMD 1” and “Digital CMD 2” inputs set the
command.

Pressure Relief Procedure
Dispense Valve Air Solenoid
Pressure Relief Procedure
1. Shut off the fluid supply to the fluid plate assembly.
2. Place a waste container beneath the fluid drain
valve under the filter. Place a waste container
beneath the dispense valve.
3. Slowly open the drain valve at each fluid filter to
relieve fluid pressure. Close valve when pressure
gauge reads zero.
4. In maintenance mode, select Full Open Dispense
Mode, which opens the regulator and dispense
valve. Press the manual dispense button
until the fluid flow stops.
5. If the dispense device cannot be actuated from the
control center, refer to F
lowing steps to open the dispense valve and relieve
fluid pressure:
a. Manually actuate the plunger on the solenoid,
that opens the dispense valve to relieve fluid
pressure. Refer to F
b. Continue actuating the plunger until all pressure
is purged from the system between the needle
and the dispense valve before proceeding to the
next step.
6. Shut off power and air to the fluid supply system.
IG. 29 and perform the fol-
IG. 29.
FIG. 29: Dispense Valve Air Solenoid
If you have followed the previous and still suspect that
a valve, hose, or dispense nozzle is clogged or that
pressure has not been fully relieved, very slowly
remove the dispense tip, clean the orifice, and continue relieving pressure.
If this does not remove the obstruction, very slowly
loosen the hose end coupling and relieve pressure
gradually, then loosen the coupling completely. Clear
the valves or hose. Do not pressurize the system until
the blockage is cleared.

During operation, PCF stores system and performance
related information to memory in the form of log files.
PCF maintains three log files: job logs, error logs, and
dispense data logs. Follow the Download Procedure,
page 49, to retrieve log files.
Job Log
The job log file name is 1-JOB.CSV and is stored in the
DOWNLOAD folder.
The job log maintains a record of the last 1,000 jobs. At
the completion of each job the following data is stored in
the log file:
•Job completion date
•Job completion time
•Job number (sequential number)
•Style number
•Target volume (in units set in the volume units
field)
•Requested volume (in units set in the volume
units field)
•Actual dispensed volume (in units set in the vol-
ume units field)
•Volume units
•Error percentage between actual dispensed vol-
ume and requested volume
•Minimum inlet pressure during job in units of bar
(heated systems will always read 0)
•Average Inlet pressure during job in units of bar
(heated systems will always read 0)
•Maximum inlet pressure during job in units of
bar (heated systems will always read 0)
•Minimum outlet pressure during job in units of
bar
•Average outlet pressure during job in units of
bar
•Maximum outlet pressure during job in units of
bar
•Minimum flow rate during job in units of cc/min
(systems with no flow meter will read 0)
•Average flow rate during job in units of cc/min
(systems with no flow meter will read 0)
•Maximum flow rate during job in units of cc/min
(systems with no flow meter will read 0)
•Elapsed time
Error Log
The error log file name is 2-ERROR.CSV and is stored
in the DOWNLOAD folder.
The error log maintains a record of the last 1,000 errors.
Each error record in the log file contains: the date and
time the error occurred, the error code, and the error
description.
Dispense Data Log
The dispense data log file name is 3-DATA.CSV and is
stored in the DOWNLOAD folder.
The dispense data log maintains a record of system inlet
pressure (heated systems will always read 0), system
outlet pressure, and system flow rate (systems without
flow meters will always read 0). This data is recorded at
one second intervals when a job cycle is in process. The
dispense data log is capable of storing up to two hours
of data.

When errors occur the highest priority active error is displayed in the menu bar. The previous 140 errors are displayed on the error report screens. See Run Mode,
page 95, for instructions on navigating to and through
the error report screens.
There are three levels of errors: alarms, deviations, and
advisories. Alarms are critical and require immediate
correction; therefore, the system automatically shuts
down. Deviations are critical and require attention but
not immediately. Advisories are not critical but still
require attention.
NOTE:
•Alarms set the dispenser ready signal LOW.
•Advisories and deviations do not set the dispenser
ready signal LOW.

Dispense Control Modes
The PCF system has four fluid dispensing control
modes.
•Bead Control – the control unit measures the flow
rate of the material being dispensed. The regulator
outlet pressure is varied to control the fluid flow rate
to the requested value. Use the bead control when a
consistent bead size is required.
•Shot Control – the regulator outlet pressure is controlled to the requested value. The dispense valve is
closed when the target volume is reached or when
the automation controller provides a signal.
•Pressure Control – the regulator outlet pressure is
controlled to the requested value. Use the pressure
control mode if the system does not include a flow
meter.
•Full Open Control – the PCF system does not control fluid pressure or flow. Instead the regulator
opens to allow for recirculation applications.
