While this manual lists standard specifications
and service procedures, some minor deviations
may be found between this literature and your
equipment. Differences in local codes and plant
requirements, material delivery requirements, etc.,
make such variations inevitable. Compare this
manual with your system installation drawings
and appropriate ITW Ransburg equipment
manuals to reconcile such differences.

Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must be
turned off prior to cleaning, flushing or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
Those used for equipment flushing should have flash
points equal to or higher than those of the coating
material.
Those used for general cleaning must have flash
points above 100°F (37.8°C).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates
required by NFPA-33, OSHA, and local codes. In
addition, ventilation must be maintained during
cleaning operations using flammable or combustible
solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only as
instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized
equipment modifications may cause fire or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use
only during set-up operations. Production should
never be done with safety interlocks disabled.
Never use equipment intended for use in waterborne

GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTIONGENERAL DESCRIPTION
This manual covers the operation and use of the
AdaptaFlowTM 5000 Node Adapter and is meant to
complement the AdaptaFlow 5000 Fluid Flow
Monitoring and Control Manual.
The AdaptaFlow Node Adapter Module allows for
direct communication from an Allen-Bradley PLC
Remote Input/Output(RIO) port to the AdaptaFlow
5000 Fluid Flow Control system. Up to four
channels of control per half of a standard 19" rack
can be controlled with one Node Adapter Module.
The Node Adapter accepts standard data transfers
from PLC remote I/O and converts the information
to the proper AdaptaFlow protocol for each of the
possible four Channel Cards.
The Node Adapter Module is divided into three
functional blocks: (1)

The Node Adapter Interface Module is used as a

to the AdaptaFlow card rack. This board is always
required when using the Node Adapter Card. It is
plugged into J6 located on the card rack Bus
Board.

RIO interfaceRIO interface
The
RIO interface contains some Allen-Bradley
RIO interfaceRIO interface
components which are licensed to ITW Ransburg.
These are designed specifically to communicate
with the proprietary protocol of the RIO serial link.
The central component of this block is an application
specific IC (ASIC) which is capable of formatting
the RIO information for use by the central
processor(CPU). The actual termination of the
RIO cable is made to the Node Adapter Interface
Board which is connected to the Card Rack Bus
Board.
The core of the
microprocessor which communicates with the
Allen-Bradley ASIC. The 8032 provides an RS422 port from which diagnostic functions are
accomplished via internal “debugger” software.
The main software program, which includes the
“debugger” functions, is contained in an Erasable
