7. KrosFlo® System operation
7.1 System overview
KrosFlo® Operating Systems are an iFIX-based program installed on a touchscreen HMI PC. The
program consists of six primary screens – Main (Operational), Settings, Chart (Process Trending),
Alarm Setup, Alarm, and Report. Screen navigation is performed using the buttons on the bottom of
each screen. Simply touch the button to go to the desired screen.
To end a session, navigate to the Settings Screen. Touch the Exit iFIX button located at lower right of
screen, then close the iFIX program before turning off computer.
The HMI screen will go into screen saver mode while the system is operating or while program is
open, just as a typical PC during times of inactivity. This will not affect operation and touching the
screen will display the present active screen.
7.2 Getting started
KrosFlo® Systems are ready to run after all Mechanical and Electrical Installation steps have been
completed.
To run KrosFlo® Systems:
1. Pull the E-Stop button (located on front of Control Panel) to the OUT position.
2. Turn the front-panel power switch to ON position.
3. Press the BLUE reset button on control panel.
Once the computer is booted up, use the touchscreen to navigate to the TFF icon on the screen.
Double click on the TFF icon to enter the KrosFlo® Operating System. The control system will open to
the Introductory screen, which contains the system part number and Installed Software Rev
information. Touch this screen anywhere to navigate to the Main screen.
At startup, KrosFlo® Systems will display all alarms as being active; they should be cleared before
operating the KrosFlo® System. From the Main screen, navigate to the Alarms screen. Once at the
Alarms screen, touch the Reset Alarm button on the touchscreen then touch the Ack Alarms button.
All Alarms will be cleared.
NOTE: The BLUE Reset button on the control panel enclosure is pressed to reset the Master Control
Relay at startup, power outage, or E-Stop only. All other alarm conditions are reset from the
Alarms screen on PC/HMI.
Be sure to exit iFix, and shutdown Windows before shutting down the KrosFlo® System.
