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.

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. 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.

PrecisionSwirl Orbital Dispenser
(Swirl Dispenser), Sold Separately
The swirl dispenser dispenses material in a circular pattern at speeds from 6600 to 24000 rpm. A PCF fluid
metering system can have up to four swirl dispensers.
See manual 309403 for detailed information.

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:

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.

•

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.

Ambient Fluid Plate Assembly

•

Voltage to Pressure Transducer (T), abbreviated V/P
transducer, adjusts the air pressure to the fluid regulator (P).

There are four ambient versions available:

•

The fluid plate assembly is available in two versions:
ambient and heated.

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).

Rotary Switch on FCM
The rotary switch on the FCM, see FIG. 6, must be set to
a valid position and each FCM must have a unique
rotary switch position. The FCM rotary switch position
determines which number to assign to that fluid plate.
The settings, including defined styles, for each fluid
plate are stored in each FCM so changing the rotary
switch position causes the settings to be shown under
the new number on the ADM.

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, or electric shock,
when grounding, connecting cables, connecting to a
power source or making other electrical connections:
•

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.

•

and wiring connections.

•

For 24 Vdc wiring refer to FIG. 13.

•

For 100-240 Vac wiring refer to FIG. 14.

•

Incoming power wiring must be guarded from the
enclosure. Use a protective grommet where the
power wiring enters the enclosure to prevent wear.

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.

•

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.

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.

NOTE: To maximize system performance keep the dispense hose length and ID as small as the application
will allow.

Dispense Valve
Follow the grounding instructions in the dispense valve
manual.

On/Off Delays

FIG. 29 and Table 6: Delay On/Off Timing show delay
ON and OFF timing.

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
34.
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.

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.

Operation

Dispense from Each Valve

Verify Flow Meter Calibration

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.

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 the steps outlined in Dispense From Maintenance Screen, page 43, 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.

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 45. For a detailed explanation of styles and how
they work within the PCF system, see Styles on
page 46.

Jobs
NOTE: See Appendix D - I/O Signal Descriptions,
page 138, 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.

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.

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.

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 114, for
instructions on how to view job reports.

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

until the next job.
PCF reads in the styles via the Gateway interface. For

Operation

Precharge Modes

Gateway

NOTE: See the diagram on the following page.

NOTE: Gateway precharge mode is only available for
systems containing CGMs.

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.

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.

Operation

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:
•
•
•
•

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

Style Strobe: 0
Dispense Complete: 0
Dispense Valve x On: all should be 0
Style: Any value is acceptable

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.

A typical job cycle consists of the following dispensing
sequence. See Typical Job Cycle Chart, page 50.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.

6. When the dispense is complete the automation controller sets Dispense Complete to 1.

Pressure Relief Procedure

Pressure Relief Procedure
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.
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

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.
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.

until

the fluid flow stops.
4. If the dispense valve cannot be actuated from the
control center, refer to FIG. 36 and perform the 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 FIG. 36.

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.

enables users to change the control mode, volume to be
dispensed, target pressure, and number of dispense
valves used in the system.
NOTE: Volume, pressure, and dispense valve options
change according to mode.

•

Bead Control – the system controls 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.

•

Full Open Control – the PCF system does not control fluid pressure or flow. Instead the regulator
opens to allow for recirculation applications.

See Maintenance Mode Operation, page 41, for
instructions on changing the control mode, target pressure, and number of dispense valves used.

Appendix C - Communications Gateway Module (CGM) Connection Details

CGM Command Interface
NOTE: The CGM command interface is only available
for fluid plates with 16 or 256 styles.
The CGM command interface utilizes bits in the CGM
I/O Data Map, page 125, to support many additional
functions that are not available in the other CGM I/O
bits.
NOTE: When changes are made over the command
interface, the ADM screen may not update immediately.
it may be necessary to navigate away from the screen
then back to it.
The CGM command interface uses automation output
bits 256 to 327. These bits can be used to request the
value of a current system setting (read) or change a system setting (write).
•

•

•

•
•

Output bits 256-267 are used to identify the individual command. Each bit will have a single binary
value to create the hex code listed in the commands
table.
Output bits 268-275 are used to identify the individual Fluid Plate or Swirl dispenser to which the commands will apply.
Output bits 288-319 are used to identify the value of
the command specified by bits 256-267 and
268-275.
Output bit 321 identifies the command as a write
command.
Output bit 320 identifies the command as a read
command.

Examples
NOTE: See the timing diagram and tables starting on
page 132 for detailed descriptions of the input and output bits.
Example 1: if output bits 256-275 are 0xB0203, output
bits 288-319 are 0x0004, and output bit 321 is high, this
means:
•
•
•
•

The command relates to the purge period in
minutes (0x__203)
The command relates to fluid plate 1 (0xB0___)
The command is a write command (bit 321 high)
The value of the command is 4 (0x0004)

Combine these individual pieces to understand the command as a whole: Change the purge period setting on
fluid plate 1 to 4 minutes.
Example 2: if output bits 256-275 are 0xB3212, input
bits 288-319 are 0x0000, and output bit 320 is high, this
means:
•
•
•
•

The command relates to whether valve 1 is
enabled (0x__212)
The command relates to fluid plate 4 (0xB3___)
The command is a read command (bit 320 high)
The value of the command is 0 (0x0000)

Combined, this means: Valve 1 on fluid plate 4 is disabled.

The CGM command interface uses automation input
bits 128-159 to read the current system values. It also
uses input bits 160-163 to identify the status of commands:
•
•
•
•

Bit 160: Command Active
Bit 161: Command Success
Bit 162: Command Failure
Bit 163: Value Coerced

NOTE: If both output bits 320 (read) and 321 (write) are
high during a command the result will be a command
failure identified by input bit 162 (command failure)
going high.

1. Set Command Identification Bits and Fluid
Plate/Swirl Identification Bits to the desired values.
2. Set Value Bits (Output) with the value that is desired
to be written.
3. Set Write Bit.
4. Wait for the Command Active Bit to become set.
This indicates that an operation is in process.
5. Wait for the Command Success Bit, Command Failure Bit, or Command Value Coerced Bit to become
set.
NOTE: The Value Bits (Input) now contain the value that
was actually written.
6. Clear the Write Bit to end the write command operation.
Command Interface Read Operation
1. Set Command Identification Bits and Fluid
Plate/Swirl Identification Bits to the desired values.
2. Set Read Bit.
3. Wait for the Command Active Bit to become set.
This indicates that an operation is in process.

4. Wait for the Command Success Bit or Command
Failure Bit to become set.
NOTE: If Command Success Bit has been set, valid
data will be present within the Value Bits (Input).
5. Clear the Read Bit to end the read command operation.

Appendix D - I/O Signal Descriptions

Appendix D - I/O Signal Descriptions
This section provides details about the CGM and DGM
Automation Input and Output signals.

Automation Inputs
Dispenser (Fluid Plate) Ready
This signal is 0 on power up. This signal will be 1 under
in the following conditions:

Dispenser (Fluid Plate) Purge Request
This signal is 1 on power up if a purge interval has been
defined, 0 on power up otherwise. Any dispensing will
turn off this bit and reset the purge timer. This signal will
be 1 under the following condition:
•

The system purge interval timer has expired.

•

The system is in an active state, and

Dispenser (Fluid Plate) Remote Start / Purge in
Process

•

The dispenser (fluid plate) does not have an
active Alarm (Deviations have no effect).

This signal is 0 on power up. This signal will be 1 under
the following conditions:

Dispenser (Fluid Plate) No Alarm

•

A remote start sequence is in process. This signal shall remain asserted until the dispense
equipment has achieved Dispense Ready status.

•

A purge sequence is in process. This signal
shall remain asserted until the purge sequence
is complete.

For systems with a CGM, this signal will be 1 under the
following condition:
•

The system does not have an alarm.

•

For systems with a DGM, this signal can be
configured to be active high or active low. See
Discrete Gateway (Automation) Setup
Screen, page 104.

Dispenser (Fluid Plate) No Error
For systems with a CGM, this signal will be 1 under the
following condition:
•

The system does not have an error (alarm, deviation, or advisory).

•

For systems with a DGM, this signal can be
configured to be active high or active low. See
Discrete Gateway (Automation) Setup
Screen, page 104.

Units
All units settings are set in the Advanced Display Module. The following signals are used to communicate this
information to the automation controller.

Dispense in Process
This signal is 0 on power up. This signal will be 1 under
the following condition:
•

The system is in the middle of a job.

Dispense Volume OK

Errors
Error numbers are formed by 8 bits. This is the error
number in the system.

This signal will be 1 under the following conditions:
•
•
•

138

The system has completed a job, and
the volume of the job is within the tolerance
specified, and
the style strobe is 1.

3A2098H

Appendix D - I/O Signal Descriptions

Automation Outputs
Style

Remote Start / Purge

The desired style of the next job. These 8 bits are read
at the start of a job to determine the selected style.

This bit is used to restart the dispense system from any
“not-ready” state. If the system is already in a Dispense
Ready state, this signal shall initiate a purge based on
the configured purge parameters.

Style Strobe
This bit is used to start a new job. A new job is started
when the style strobe changes from 0 to 1.

Swirl X Enable
This bit is used to signal the on and off status of each
swirl dispenser motor.

Dispense Complete
This bit is used to signal the end of a job. A job is ended
when this signal changes from 0 to 1.

Swirl Command Value
This 12-bit value indicates a swirl speed command from
0-10 volts. 0 volts (0x000) represents a speed of
6,600 rpm and 10 volts (0xFFF) represents 24,000 rpm.

Dispense Valve x On
These 4 bits are used to signal the turn on and turn off
of each of the 4 dispense valves on the applicable fluid
plate.

Dispense Valve X Precharge On
These 4 bits are used to turn on precharge for each of
the 4 dispense valves when the precharge mode is set
to Gateway.

Command Value
This 12 bit value indicates the analog command value
from 0-10Volts (0x000-0xFFF). This analog value is
scaled to a flow rate (in bead mode) or pressure (in
pressure or shot mode) command based on the configured scale factor.

Error Reset / Cancel Job
If the “End Job On Alarm” setting is enabled:
•
•

If in a job, setting this bit will cancel the current job.
If not in a job, setting this will reset errors.

If the “End Job On Alarm” setting is disabled:
•

Setting this bit will reset errors regardless of job status.
