1.3 Principle of Operation
The Aquanomic system works by communicating between 4 main modules: Condor Controller, Pump
Cabinet (with I/O board), Machine Signal Interface (MSI), and Formula Select (FS). There is always 1
Condor Controller (the brains of the system) and 1 Pump Cabinet (where products are dispensed). There
can be up to 3 MSI and up to 3 FS (depends on the number of laundry machines being serviced). All of
these modules communicate using the RS-485 cables running between them in series or “Daisy Chain.”
Therefore, each module has 2 RS-485 cable ports, both need to be used for cables or with an end plug.
The Pump Cabinet dispenses 3 solid products, but you can add a 4
th
solid product or a liquid product using
optional equipment.
Do not plug or unplug RS-485 cables when power is applied to the system. Do not apply power to the system until all modules are
properly addressed and all RS-485 cables and plugs (dongles) are properly connected to the modules.
