The A.T.S. output voltage is 48VDC at 5.4W for a 25ms duration. The output then drops
to a holding voltage of 16VDC. The TPC-2 activates the A.T.S. Drive immediately upon
receipt of Trigger Inputs. The Tip Sealing Device requires time to operate, the TPC-2
caters for this by allowing a 35ms dwell time from Trigger Input until the gluing program
will function. This means that if the first delay time is programmed to be less than 35ms
the first glue line will start late then revert to the normal pattern in successive cycles. The
A.T.S. Drive output automatically deactivates when the TPC-2 does not receive Trigger
Inputs for 2.5 seconds or more.
Trigger
A Trigger Device of some kind is required to initiate the TPC-2 gluing pattern. The
TRIGGER LED is illuminated green when the Trigger Device is activated.
Programming SYSTEM Parameters
TPC-2 Control Unit functions are modified by depressing the SYSTEM button.
Activation of SYSTEM parameters is signified via illumination of the LED above the
SYSTEM button and the illumination of the LED to the left of the specific parameter
(PURGE, TRIG MODE, TIME RANGE, GLUE/PASS/START or PALLETISING
COUNT).
NOTES:
a. All SYSTEM parameters, with the possible exception of PALLETISING COUNT, are
accessible only when the LED above the RUN/STOP button is not illuminated.
b. All SYSTEM parameters are stored in “non-volatile” memory, the settings are retained
even when TPC-2 Control Unit input power is lost or the power switch is turned off.
c. Modification to SYSTEM parameters may only be undertaken when Programming
Security is in the UNLOCKED position.
Purge
The PURGE function requires connection of the Purge Control (106078) into the
appropriate receptacle in the bottom of the TPC-2 Control Unit.
1. Depress the SYSTEM button until the red LED to the left of PURGE flashes. The
TPC-2 display will indicate = = = 0.
2. Rotate the VALUE knob until the desired PURGE channel is selected. The table
below indicates the meaning of each display setting:
