6. Rotate the VALUE knob until the desired “pass” quantity is selected. (Example: P.010
indicates that ten consecutive items will be passed).
Start
7. Depress the SYSTEM button once. The display will now show either GLUE or PASS.
8. Rotate the VALUE knob until the desired value is displayed. The palletizing count will
start with either the GLUE or the PASS count depending upon which value is selected for
this parameter.
Palletising Count
The PALLETISING COUNT parameter is a display-only function that allows the
operator to track the progress of the palletizing glue process.
1. Depress the SYSTEM button until the yellow LED to the left of PALLETISING
COUNT is illuminated.
2. View the status of the palletizing glue process. The PALLETISING COUNT will count
down with each trigger signal input: G.040, G.039, G.038, …, G.001, P.010, P.009,
P.008, …, P.001, then repeat the cycle; assuming G.040 and P.010 were programmed in
GLUE and PASS respectively and the cycle was set to begin with GLUE. Similarly, the
cycle would begin counting down the PASS, then the GLUE portion, if the cycle was
programmed to begin with PASS.
NOTES:
a. The PALLETISING COUNT parameter will not be accessible unless the palletizing
feature is activated through the programming of values in the GLUE/PASS/START
parameter.
b. The PALLETISING COUNT is the only SYSTEM parameter that is accessible when
the TPC-2 is set to RUN mode (LED above the RUN/STOP button is illuminated),
assuming the palletizing feature is activated through the programming of values in the
GLUE/PASS/START parameter.
c. Any modifications to GLUE/PASS/START parameters will result in the reset of the
PALLETISING COUNT.
Selecting a Program from MEMORY
The TPC-2 Control Unit possesses MEMORY storage capacity for as many as four
independent programs. Each of these programs controls up to two independent glue
channels or drives. Additionally, each program can possess up to four events with each
event being composed of a DELAY and a LINE. The Program MEMORY is “non-
