Test Cycle Condition Description
ISD Meter Motion (for ISD systems only)

This item determines whether the meter will move during operation.

  • When set to ENABLE, the meter will move, and the material will be dispensed. All dispenser-related errors will be detected.

  • When set to DISABLE, the meter will simulate performing its motion (dispensing, repositioning) internally, but will not move the meter or supply power to the servo amplifiers. The meter is not affected by any EMERGENCY STOP faults while in this mode.

In normal mode (not in Bypass mode) the gun will not open for SS/SE instructions. In Bypass mode, however, the gun will open so that the material dispensed using the supply pressure. Refer to the ISD Bypass description below.

ISD Bypass — DispenseTool only (for ISD systems only)

This item determines whether the meter is bypassed or not.

  • When set to YES, all the meter valves are opened and meter motion will be prohibited. Therefore, the meter is bypassed. In this mode, the material could be dispensed (using the SS/SE instructions) from the material supply pressure. In this mode of operation, calculated volume dispensed is not accurate. This mode could be used to run production in an emergency situation where the dispenser system has severe problems (such as a broken cable, and so forth) by dispensing material from the supply pressure. In this case, you would need to disable the ISD meter motion. All ISD related operations (change dir, reposition, prepressure, and so forth) are ignored. This mode of operation can be used with the ISD meter motion enabled or disabled.

  • When set to NO, the system operates normally.

Dispense Controller Mode

Allows you to set the WET/DRY status of the robot controller dispensing functions:
  • When in WET mode , the controller will send the correct gun open and analog flow commands to the dispensing equipment at the programmed times.

  • When in DRY mode , the controller will not send any gun open or analog flow control commands to the dispensing equipment.

Force Process Complete

Force Process Complete will turn on the PROCESS COMPLETE digital output signal. The PROCESS COMPLETE digital output signal will stay ON until the next style is run. Force Process Complete will remain set to ENABLED while the PROCESS COMPLETE digital output is ON. Setting Force Process Complete to DISABLED will turn OFF the PROCESS COMPLETE digital output, if it is ON, and allow DispenseTool to determine whether to turn on the PROCESS COMPLETE signal automatically.
