To control the Bell Speed for Bell Applicators, you must:
Set up Bell Speed Control
Perform a Bell Speed Startup Test
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 |
---|---|
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. |
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. CautionThe turbine cannot be controlled by the Bell Speed Control until the Startup Mode is complete, by performing the bell speed startup test successfully.
|
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. |
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. |
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 . |
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. |
Units: kRPM Default: 60 Range: 0 — 80 |
This item defines the maximum bell cup rotation. |
