Revised 1/99 TPC-2 TIMER Manual #50-05
NOTES:
a. The TPC-2 software forces minimum DELAY setting for EVENTS 2 through 4
that are dependent upon the DELAY and LINE values programmed into the
previous EVENTs.
b. The cumulative total time of all four EVENTs (DELAY and LINE) in a single
Program may not exceed the maximum TIME RANGE value (either 1.999 or
19.99 seconds).
c. The Trigger Device must be activated for at least the duration of the DELAY
programmed into EVENT 1 for the TPC-2 to recognize it as a valid Trigger input.
d. The programming of the DELAY value is dependent upon whether the Trigger
Device is designed for detection of the object’s “Leading Edge” or “Trailing
Edge”. Examples are shown below:
Leading Edge Detection
DELAY equals the travel time to the Glue Applicator from the leading edge of the object
passing under the Trigger Device until the start of the LINE (glue).
Trailing Edge Detection
DELAY equals the travel time from the Glue Valve to the start of the LINE (glue).
