Integration Upgrade with Advanced Map

NOTE: See manual 3A4649 for more information.
Graco provides an upgraded software solution for PCF systems that came with automation communication gateway modules (CGM). The table below shows which systems have the ability to upgrade their system with the update kit (25C527). This kit includes new CGM software, as well as a larger data map.
Benefits of Upgrading:
1. Direct access to important information such as flow­rates and pressures of the system (all four fluid plates).
2. Allows for a complete integration of a Graco PCF system, meaning an ADM is no longer necessary.
3. Much easier set up and integrate.
4. Much more supporting documentation to identify what is important.
NOTE: Only systems with Ethernet I/P and Device Net are capable of upgrading to use the Advanced Map.

Overview

System Overview

The PCF fluid metering system combines closed-loop pressure control with the ability to change bead profiles quickly. When used with an optional flow meter, the system automatically adjusts for fluctuations in the operating environment, such as material viscosity, temperature and tip wear, in order to maintain the desired dispense rate. The module responds to automation 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
Control Center (User Interface)
NOTE: The control center is available with or without an
ADM, depending on the model you are using. See Models on page 4.
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. A PCF fluid metering system can have up to four fluid plates. Each fluid plate can control up to four dispense valves. The system supports up to 16 dispense valves and can simultaneously dispense from up to 10 dispense valves.

Fluid Plate Assembly Overview

Fluid Plate Components
The fluid plate assembly in FIG. 5 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.
Voltage to Pressure Transducer (T), abbreviated V/P
transducer, 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 five 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
cartridge regulator with an ultra high resolution flow meter
cartridge regulator with Coriolis flow meter
Heated Fluid Plate Assembly
There are two heated versions available:
heated mastic fluid regulator with a heated flow meter
heated mastic fluid regulator without a flow meter

Ground
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
The control center must be electrically connected to a true earth ground; the ground in the electrical system may not be sufficient. Refer to your local code for the requirements for a “true earth ground” in your area.
All wires used for grounding must be 18 AWG minimum.
A qualified electrician must complete all grounding and wiring connections.
For 24 Vdc wiring refer to F
For 100-240 Vac wiring refer to F
Incoming power wiring must be guarded from the
enclosure. Use a protective grommet where the power wiring enters the enclosure to prevent wear.
IG. 13.
IG. 14.
Solvent Pails Used When Flushing
Follow local code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a grounded surface. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive surface, such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
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.
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.
Fluid Supply Container
Follow local code.
Connect a fluid line to the flow meter fluid inlet or to the regulator inlet if your system does not have a flow meter.
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 plate(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.

F
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 38.
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 manual
dispensing ( ) and manually starting the swirl
dispenser ( ).
The system begins dispensing when the user presses
. Dispense parameters and duration depend on the
selected control. Dispensing continues for as long
as is pressed.
Follow steps in the supply system manual to set the inlet pressure.
NOTICE
Inlet pressure beyond the recommended range above 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.
The system starts the swirl dispenser when the user
presses . The swirl dispenser continues to run until
is pressed again.
There is one maintenance screen for each installed fluid plate and each installed Swirl. The maintenance controls for the Swirl are shown on both the Swirl maintenance screen and on the Fluid Plate maintenance screen for the fluid plate where the swirl dispenser is installed.
Verify System Operation

Dispense from Each Valve
Dispense from each valve 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 Maintenance Screen, page 47, to perform each of the following applicable system verification checks.
NOTE: Each fluid plate controls only the dispense valves connected to it.
For each valve 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 your maximum desired operating point.
For systems that will operate multiple valves in pressure mode at the same time, dispense from each valve at the same time. This verification check confirms that the system is capable of delivering material at your maximum desired operating point.
For each valve operating in bead mode, perform an initial teaching process. Follow this procedure after significant system and/or material characteristic changes.
a. For each flow rate that will be used during
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 Fluid Plate x, screen 4 (Flowmeter Settings). See F
IG. 26 on
page 39.
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 Fluid Plate x, screen 1. See F
IG. 33 on page 47.
5. Calculate the actual volume dispensed:
normal operation, press until PCF
achieves the flow rate setpoint.
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.
c. Repeat Steps a and b for a range of flow rates
to confirm that the system responds quickly to
achieve setpoint when is pressed.
6. Calculate the new flow meter K-factor:
7. Enter new K-factor.

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.
Dispense From Maintenance Screen
1. Navigate to Fluid Plate x, screen 1 for the desired fluid plate.
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 follow 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.

Operation

Automation Control (Normal Operation)

During automation control (normal operation), the system can dispense or change dispense parameters 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 49. For a detailed explanation of styles and how they work within the PCF system, see Styles on page 50.

Jobs

NOTE: See Appendix D - I/O Signal Descriptions,
page 146, for automation input and output signal descriptions.
A job is an automation sequence in which material can be dispensed. The amount of material specified for a job varies by 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, error calculations are made and the volumes are stored 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 to Timer or Gateway in Fluid Plate x, screen 1 (Control Settings). If the timer method is used, the timer begins counting every time the dispense valve is turned off. If the valve stays off for more than the preset timer value, the job is considered complete.
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 120, for instructions on how to view job reports.
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. In Bead mode, the requested volume is calculated as the requested flow rate multiplied by the duration of the dis­pense. In all other modes, the requested volume is same as the target volume.
Target Volume - The amount of material a job should have. This is defined in the Style.
Jobs in Bead Mode
In Bead Mode, all of the previously mentioned volumes are monitored. The High Volume, Low Volume, and Computed Target errors 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 error). The high and low volume alarms compare the measured volume to the target volume for pressure mode.
Jobs in Shot Mode
In Shot Mode, the job is started the same as a normal job, but when the gun is triggered it dispenses until the target volume is reached. After the shot is done, the Dispense in Process bit goes low and you can check the Volume OK bit to see if the shot was within tolerance. If the Job End Mode is set to Timer, the shot times out after the specified amount of time and sends an advisory, even if target volume is not reached.
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 error. The controls will still maintain the desired flow rate and report errors cor­responding to the tolerance set for the running style.
3A2098S 49
Operation

Styles

The PCF system has the ability to handle up to 256 styles, depending on the selected option.
NOTE: The number of available styles depends on the fluid plate 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 errors 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.
PCF reads in the styles via the Gateway interface. For detailed interface information, see Appendix B - Dis- crete Gateway Module (DGM) Connection Details on page 121, and Appendix C - Communications Gate- way Module (CGM) Connection Details on page 128, as applicable.
To setup a style:
1. Navigate to Fluid Plate x, screen 8.
3. Enter the style number in the Style field.
4. Enter Style Name:

Operation

Precharge Modes

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.
Gateway
NOTE: Gateway precharge mode is only available for systems containing CGMs.
When “Gateway” precharge mode is selected, the outlet pressure will be set according to the current pressure/flow command using the scaling set for dispense valve(s) selected through the gateway interface.
Dynamic Precharge Modes
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.
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.

Typical Job Cycle

In order for the system to run it must be in the active
state (status LED next to on the ADM is green).
Before a job begins the automation controller outputs should have the following values:
Style Strobe: 0
Dispense Complete: 0
Dispense Valve x On: all should be 0
Style: Any value is acceptable
A typical job cycle consists of the following dispensing sequence. See Typical Job Cycle Chart, page 54.
NOTE: Each job cycle can apply to only one fluid plate.
1. The automation controller checks that Dispenser (Fluid Plate) Ready signal is set to 1. If it is set to 1, a job can begin.
2. The automation controller sets the Style to the next desired style value.
NOTE: Each fluid plate has a unique set of styles. For example, Style 2 for Fluid Plate 1 is different from Style 2 for Fluid Plate 2.
3. The automation controller sets the Style Strobe to 1.
7. PCF sets the following signals based on the results of the job.
Dispenser (Fluid Plate) No Alarm
Dispenser (Fluid Plate) No Error
Dispense Volume OK
•Error
Dispensed Volume
NOTE: The automation controller should not read the Dispense Volume OK or Dispense Volume signals until after the system clears the Dispense In Process signal.
8. PCF sets Dispense In Process to 0 to indicate the job is complete. At this time the signals from step 7 should be read.
9. The automation controller must clear Dispense Complete and Style Strobe (either can be cleared first) before the next job can start.
Jobs with Command Cable Dispense Trigger
With the Dispense Trigger Source configured to Command Cable or Command Cable 3x, users only need to trigger the dispense applicator to start a job. This configuration is useful for less demanding applications that do not require a full automation interface.
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 automation controller begins dispensing. The automation controller sets and clears Dispense Valve x On bits as desired throughout the course of the job.
6. When the dispense is complete the automation controller sets Dispense Complete to 1.
The following limitations apply when starting a job with this configuration:
The selected style defaults 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.

Pressure Relief Procedure

Dispense Valve Air Solenoid
The equipment stays pressurized until pressure is manually relieved. To help prevent serious injury from pressurized fluid such as skin injection, splashing fluid and moving parts, follow the Pressure Relief Pro­cedure when you stop dispensing and before clean­ing, checking or servicing the equipment.
Pressure Relief Procedure
b. Continue actuating the plunger until all pressure
is purged from the system between the needle and the dispense valves attached to this fluid plate before proceeding to the next step.
5. For systems with multiple fluid plates, repeat
previous steps for other fluid plates.
6. Shut off air to the fluid plate.
1. Shut off the fluid supply to the fluid plate assembly.
2. Place a waste container beneath the dispense valve.
3. 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.
4. If the dispense valve cannot be actuated from the control center, refer to F following steps to open the dispense valve and relieve fluid pressure:
a. Manually actuate the plunger on the solenoid to
open all dispense valves attached to this fluid plate and relieve fluid pressure. See F
IG. 39 and perform the
IG. 39.
7. Place a waste container below the air filter assembly then open drain valve on the air filter assembly. Close drain valve once air is relieved.
8. Turn main power switch on control panel to the OFF position.
9. If you have followed the previous steps and 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.
10. If this does not remove the clog, cover the hose end coupling with a rag then very slowly loosen the hose end coupling to relieve pressure gradually, then loosen the coupling completely. Clear the valves or hose. Do not pressurize the system until the block­age is cleared.

When an error occurs, an error pop-up is displayed that takes up the entire screen until the error is
acknowledged by pressing . Errors can also be acknowledged over the gateway. Active errors are displayed in the menu bar.
F
IG. 43: Error Pop-Up
The previous 200 errors are displayed on the error report screens. See Run Mode, page 116, for instructions on navigating to and through the error report screens.

Diagnose Errors

See Event and Error Codes and Troubleshooting on page 71 for error codes, possible causes, and solutions.
There are three levels of errors: alarms, deviations, and advisories. Alarms cause the system to shut down. Deviations and advisories do not shut down the system.
NOTE:
Alarms set the dispenser (fluid plate) ready signal
LOW.
Advisories and deviations do not set the dispenser (fluid plate) ready signal LOW.
Errors can be viewed through a CGM on models that do not have an ADM. See Appendix C, page 128, Output bits 0x0DB. The Error codes are described by a 4 digit ASCII string. For example: the first event code in the manual is EC0X and is represented using an ASCII table:
E = 0x45 C = 0x43 0 = 0x00 X = 0x58
