Discrete I/O vs Network
Communications
The ProMix 3KS Automatic system does not use a
Booth Control. Instead, it uses Discrete I/O or Network
Communications to drive the system. Each method can
be used exclusively, or both at the same time.
In Automatic mode, the following fields can be set to
“Discrete” or “Network” (see Configure Screen 6 on
page 31):
• Flow Control
• Proportioning
• Gun 1 Trigger
NOTE: In Semi-automatic mode, only the Proportioning
field is available,
NOTE: The Manual Override function enables you to
operate the system before the automation (PLC) is avail-
able. Manual Override still requires some communica-
tion through Discrete I/O or Network Communications.
Although Manual Override is not intended to be the main
mode of control, it can be used if proper Gun Trigger
Input is provided.
Discrete I/O
Discrete I/O requires a 24 Vdc power supply which must
be supplied on site. The ProMix 3KS does not supply
power for Discrete I/O.
See Table 3 on page 50, F
IG. 66 on page 59, and Table
7 on page 60 for inputs and outputs. Understanding
these inputs and outputs is necessary to properly inte-
grate the ProMix 3KS to the automation.
Input and output connections are made at the Discrete
I/O terminal strips (F
IG. 59) and the discrete I/O board
(F
IG. 60) inside the EasyKey. Also see the System
Electrical Schematic on page 110.
Review the Color Change Charts (F
IG. 79-FIG. 88). A full
understanding of the color change sequence is neces-
sary to properly drive the inputs and monitor the out-
puts.
See Advanced Setup Screen 7, page 38. This screen
shows the actual status of all inputs and outputs. It is
important to ensure that each input from local automa-
tion (PLC) is received by the EasyKey and to verify that
the ProMix 3KS is sending outputs to the automation.

function in detail.
