To control the Bell Speed for Bell Applicators, you must:

  • Set up Bell Speed Control

  • Perform a Bell Speed Startup Test

Note

Refer to the hardware section of the applicator-specific Mechanical Parts and Service manual for hardware information.

Table 1.  Bell Speed Control Setup Items

Item Description

Control Mode

Units: None

Default: Closed-Loop

Range: Closed-Loop/Open-Loop

This item indicates the current control mode of the turbine speed. This item is for display purposes only. The only time the bell speed control mode will be in open-loop mode is when you are performing the bell speed startup test.

Startup Mode

Units: None

Default: Not Complete

Range: Not Complete/Complete

This item indicates the status of the Startup Mode. Complete means the startup process has been successfully performed. This item is for display purposes only.

Caution

The turbine cannot be controlled by the Bell Speed Control until the Startup Mode is complete, by performing the bell speed startup test successfully.

Cruise Speed (counts)

Units: Counts

Default: 1600

Range: 1600— 3000

This item indicates the bell speed analog control output used, defining the cruise or idle speed of the turbine in counts, where 1600 counts = 0 kRPM. This item is for display purposes only.

Cruise Speed (kRPM)

Units: kRPM

Default: 30

Range: 0 — 50

This item defines the cruise speed used for the turbine and will be used in production mode when the robot is not executing a JOB program. This cruise speed will also be used as the default turbine speed for manual operations.

Cruise Speed Tol. (%)

Units: %

Default: 10

Range: 0 — 10

This item defines the tolerance that the bell speed analog control output must maintain from the cruise speed (counts) value established during the bell speed startup test .

Resume Delay (ms)

Units: ms

Default: 5000

Range: 0 — 9999

This item defines the minimum time after a robot or system fault before the bell speed can be restarted.

Maximum Speed (kRPM)

Units: kRPM

Default: 60

Range: 0 — 80

This item defines the maximum bell cup rotation.
