Contact Heaters
A. Overview
1. A Contact Heater is a plate of individual heater modules that act as a single unit.
Each plate is equipped with a vacuum that holds the part in place.
2. Contact Heaters are used for applications in which the part being dispensed upon
may need to come in contact with the heating element, or applications in which
contact with the heating element is not an issue.
B. Theory of Operation
1. Contact Heater operation on the M-2000 Series dispensing systems requires
communication between Fluidmove, the Interface PCA, the Interconnect PCA, the
Heater Relay Module, and the Temperature Controller Module.
Temperature parameters are setup in Fluidmove.
Fluidmove sends the temperature information to the Interface PCA.
The Interface PCA sends the information to the Interconnect PCA.
The Interconnect PCA sends the information to the Heater Relay Module.
The Heater Relay Module activates the power to the heaters to turn them on.
Fluidmove also sends the temperature information directly to the Temperature
Controller Module.
The Temperature Controller Module monitors the heaters and reports the
information back to Fluidmove and also to the Heater Relay Module.
2. Operation of the heater vacuums requires communication between Fluidmove, the
Conveyor Controller Module, the Interconnect PCA, the Interface PCA, and the
heater vacuums.
Fluidmove sends a “Vacuum On” message to the Conveyor Controller Module.
The Conveyor Controller Module sends the message to the Interconnect PCA.
The Interconnect PCA relays the message to the Interface PCA.
The Interface PCA sends the message back to the Interconnect PCA.
The Interconnect PCA activates the heater vacuums.
