8 Introduction
1.8 Rear View Features
Rear View features of the D-580 Series Dispensing Systems are shown in Figure 1-5. Callouts locate
major components, options, and switches seen in each illustration. Detailed operating instructions for
some of these features are treated in other sections of this manual.
RS232 Port
The RS232 Port connects the DispenseMate to the internal USB network which communicates with the
laptop computer and FmXP.
Discrete I/O
There are four digital I/O’S, one analog I/O, and two 24-VDC solenoid drivers. The Discrete I/O’s are used
in conjunction with the control of any dispensing options or devices that require a position reference within
a program.
General Purpose Output Connector
There are 16 General Purpose (GP) Outputs. They are either sinking or sourcing. The GP Outputs are
used in conjunction with the control of any dispensing options or devices that require a timing reference
within a program.
General Purpose Input Connector
There are 16 General Purpose (GP) Inputs. The GP Inputs are 24 VDC, sink to ground. The GP Inputs
are used in conjunction with the control of any dispensing option or device that requires a timing
reference within a program.
Interlock
If the Interlock signal is interrupted, the Interlock immediately stops all dispensing activity to protect the
operator from injury. Refer to Section 2 - Safety for additional information.
Main Air Inlet
The Main Air Inlet connects to the facility air supply. Refer to 6.4 Dispensing System Facility
Requirements for system requirements.
Main Power Inlet
The Main Power Inlet connects the dispensing system to the facility power supply. The dispensing system
has an automatic sensing power supply integrated into the main power supply. The dispensing system
uses a main power supply between 100Vac to 240Vac (+/-10%), 50-60 Hz.
Main Power Circuit Breaker
The Main Power Circuit Breaker is the main power switch for the dispensing system. It protects the
dispensing system from facility power surges and controls the flow of facility AC power supplied to the
dispensing system.
