SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTIONSECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

Valco Cincinnati has prepared this manual as an aid for installing, operating, and servicing the MCP-25 control. It also contains a list of part numbers for replacement parts. If you need more information, please contact your Valco Cincinnati representative.

Description of the MCP-25 Control

The MCP-25 is a modular microprocessor control system. It is designed to allow users to easily program multiple and complex glue patterns. The control is capable of operating a combination of different styles and types of glue valves and dispensing systems.

Programs or program changes may be made “on-the-fly”, with the results occurring immediately on the product. The system maintains precision through machine speeds up to 2000 m/min. (6500 ft./min.).

With user-friendly, multi-language software, valve outputs can be individually compensated and assigned to a selection of scanner and encoder inputs. A 2-channel pressure output with programmable curve and integrated bypass functions interfaces with the most complex adhesive delivery systems.

The MCP-25 offers unequaled flexibility and performance for the most demanding adhesive dispensing applications.

The MCP-25 control is available in the following configurations:

• Rack-mount enclosure with field-wireable back panel (Figure 1-1)

• Rack-mount enclosure with connector back panel (Figure 1-

• Horizontal-mount enclosure (Figure 1-3) with field-wireable back panel

• Horizontal-mount enclosure (Figure 1-3) with connector back panel

• Vertical-mount enclosure (Figure 1-4) with field-wireable back panel

• Vertical-mount enclosure (Figure 1-4) with connector back panel

• Bopla enclosure (Figure 1-5) with field-wireable back panel

• Bopla enclosure (Figure 1-5) with connector back panel

When routing low-voltage leads, follow these guidelines:

• Do not route low-voltage leads in the same conduit as wires carrying a high-current load.

• Do not route low-voltage leads adjacent to, or across wires carrying a high-current load. If low-voltage leads must cross or run parallel to wires carrying high current, keep the leads at least 6" (152 mm) from high-current wires.

• Do not splice or solder leads.

• Trim leads to the required length. Leads should be only as long as necessary for installation.

• All wiring should be in conduits or wireways.

When conencting the supply of electrical power, follow these guidelines:

• Connect the control to a “clean” supply of electrical power. Use a dedicated circuit if possible.

If a dedicated circuit is not available, do not connect the control to a circuit that supplies high-amperage equipment— use another circuit such as a lighting circuit. Otherwise, equipment may not function properly.

Scanner Installation

Section 5 - Installation

The product scanner should be installed to detect the leading edge of the carton. Up to six product scanners can be installed. The spacing between scanner and valve should not be too small. For example, the spacing for a slow valve with a turn-on reaction time of Ton = 10 ms depends on the parent machine speed:

Installation of the

Encoders

MC054 - MCP-25 Control

Up to two encoders can be installed. A 1:1 ratio (1 impluse = 1 mm) between product travel and encoder impulse output is preferred. A ratio of less than 1:1 (1 impulse = more than 1 mm) should not be used because it will be less accurate. Product travel/impulse ratio can be set in the setup menu. (See

Section 11—Setup Menu

traveled, maximum velocity, and direction recognition.)

The encoders should be installed so that they are synchronized exactly with the machine speed. Ensure that the connection between the encoders and the machine is secure and will not slip.

for details about encoder impulses per length

The contol can accept values in either metric (millimeter) or imperial (inch) measurements. This configuration should be selected when the unit is initially installed (See

). Changing the measuring units after job information has been stored in the control may change the job values. The control does not calculate anything except encoder setup.

Section 11—Setup

Wheel-Driven Encoder

There are two primary types of encoders:

• Wheel-driven encoder

• Gear-driven encoder

If using a wheel-driven encoder (Figure 5-6), a VDD-1000 encoder with a 10inch measuring wheel is recommended.

To install a wheel-driven encoder, follow these steps:

1. Mount the encoder’s bracket to the frame of the parent machine.

2. Ensure that the wheel of the encoder rides securely against the belt and does not slip.

3. In the level-4 menu screen, set ratio compensation to 100 pulses.

5-6 ValcoMelton

Figure 5-6. Example of a Wheel-Driven Encoder

MC054 - MCP-25 Control

Gear-Driven Encoder

Section 5 - Installation

The following formula can be used to determine the correct combination of gear teeth and encoder for approximately 100 pulse per inch (25.4 mm):

Teeth-S x Counts = Pulses per inch (25.4 mm) of travel Teeth-E Travel

Teeth-S = Number of teeth on the line-shaft driver gear Teeth-E = Number of teeth on the encoder driven gear Counts = Number of encoder pulses per revolution Travel = Product travel in inches (or millimeters divided by 25.4)

per revolution of the drive shaft

Example:Example:

Example:

Example:Example:

Using a 92-tooth split line shaft gear (driver), a 24-tooth encoder driven gear, a 500-pulse encoder, and 18 inches (or 457 millimeters divided by 25.4) of travel per drive shaft revolution.

92 x 500 = 106.48 24 18

Therefore, the ratio compensation setting should be 106.5.

To install a gear-driven encoder (Figure 5-7), follow these steps:

1. Install the driver gear on the line shaft. Tighten the set-screws.

2. Position and install the encoder so that it is square with the driver gear.

3. Raise or lower the encoder to tighten the belt against the driver gear. (Ensure that the two sides of the belt are not pressed together under the wheel.) Due to the low torque required, the belt should not be extremely tight.

At least 7-9 teeth should engage in the line shaft driver gear. It may be necessary to fabricate an adjustable bracket to connect the encoder base to the parent machine frame.

mm (inches) mm (inches) machine travel. (Optimum: 1 impulse = 1 mm or 1/100 inch of product travel) Changing this setting may alter the maximum speed capacity and resolution of the MCP-25. (If this value is changed, turn the unit off and then on again to activate the change.)

The ratio should be as close to 1:1 as possible. If this ratio is obtained, the control can operate at speeds up to 6500 feet/min (2000 m/min). Since the accuracy of the control amounts to 1 impulse or less, the maximum possible deviation is therefore 1 mm or less. This accuracy can be increased if the resolution of the encoder is less than 1 mm (one encoder impulse corresponds to less than 1 mm of product travel). However, the maximum possible speed (Vmax) required with this accuracy equally reduces the ratio. The Vmax parameter and the resolution change automatically.

Mode 1—Continuous-Gluing Mode

Mode 1—Continuous-Gluing ModeMode 1—Continuous-Gluing Mode

In the continuous gluing mode, gluing is activated or deactivated using the Vmin minimum-speed setting. This mode is Vmin dependent—the valve turns on when the parent machine operates above the minimum-speed setting, and turns off when the parent machine operates below the minimum-speed setting. This mode is particularily useful for continuous-glue application.

Mode 2—Stitch ModeMode 2—Stitch Mode

•

Mode 2—Stitch Mode

Mode 2—Stitch ModeMode 2—Stitch Mode

Stitch mode is used for discontinuous lines. This mode is useful for economical application of long lines of glue. It allows different input possibility of bead length and gap length. Intermittent gluing is also possible. The control will then take into account that each pattern ends with applied glue (not with a gap). It can cause the gap to deviate slightly from the entered value.

Automatic Gluing Function

Figure 9-13. Glue-Pattern-Edit Menu with Message

This function is available beginning with the March, 2001 release of the software. Automatic gluing uses a scanner to measure the tab length of every box in order to calculate where to apply the glue. With this function, operators do not need to make adjustments on a job change. Additionally, automatic gluing helps avoid machine contamination when glue patterns are not set up correctly or when there are problems with the die cut of the tab.

When the glue inspection is used, the operator must start a “Measure Function” when changing to a new job. This is required to recalculate the glue length for the inspection CPU. From that point forward, the inspection will verify each glue line with this length.

If the Automatic Gluing Function is activated, the Automatic Gluing Function screen (Figure 9-14) displays when the Glue-Pattern-Edit Menu Icon button is pressed.

To change values for Automatic Gluing, follow these steps:

1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the Start Delay field. Use the numeric keypad or the scroll buttons (+10, +1, -1, -10) to enter a value for the delay.

Creating a Glue Pressure

Section 10 - Glue Pressure Edit

To create a glue-pressure curve, follow these steps:

1. Press the F1 button to select the pressure transducer (1 or 2) that you want to program. The selected pressure-transducer number displays in the top left part of the display next to the pressureregulator symbol.

Curve

Up to two independent pressure transducers can be used.

2. Determine the glue pressure (see

Values

3. Enter the glue-pressure data into the glue-pressure table.

below).

The maximum (100%) output pressure of the pressure transducer amounts to 72 psi (6 bar) air pressure. This output air pressure can work with:

1:1 ratio1:1 ratio

1:1 ratio—Direct from a pressure container, a 1:1 membrane

1:1 ratio1:1 ratio pump (DD-1 pump), or a 1:1 glue-pressure regulator (flow control)

Larger speed increase/decrease ratioLarger speed increase/decrease ratio

Larger speed increase/decrease ratio—A pump with speed

Larger speed increase/decrease ratioLarger speed increase/decrease ratio increase/decrease ratio (example: 2:1, 5:1, 7:1, 10:1) or a glue-pressure regulator (flow control) with speed increase/ decrease ratio (example: 2:1, 5:1, 7:1, 10:1).

The glue-pressure data can be entered either manually or with the Learn function (see the following pages for procedures).
