Appendix B - Instruction Properties B-7
End Flow Measurement
Description: This instruction stops measuring the flow of coating through the flowmeter, and checks the
flowmeter counts against the minimum and maximum volume property settings. This instruction is only
available if the flowmeter option is installed in the fluid system and configured in ECNT. The amount
dispensed is logged and also stored in the production database, which can be accessed from
View > Data > Flow Monitoring. Each End Flow Measurement instruction must have a Begin Flow
Measurement instruction before it in the instruction list. Coating instructions should be placed between
the Begin and End Flow Measurement instructions.

Property Description
Error Procedure
Name
Name of procedure to call if volume dispensed is out of range defined by Max
Volume and Min Volume properties. If volume is out of range, the error
procedure named in the instruction property is called. If no error procedure is
specified, or the error procedure cannot be found, production is stopped and an
error message is displayed. Out of range errors are logged along with the
amount dispensed and the range limit exceeded.
Fluid System Type of fluid system installed. Only choice as of this version is Century Fluid
System.
Label String Text string. When flow meter data is written into the database, product ID is
replaced by text in this field.
Log Message
Use to include a message in the log file with this measurement.
Max Volume (fl oz) Maximum volume allowed for this flow measurement. If flow is over maximum,
named error procedure is called or production is stopped and error message is
displayed.
Min Volume (fl oz) Minimum volume allowed for this flow measurement. If flow is under minimum,
named error procedure is called or production is stopped and error message is
displayed.
" NOTE To determine the volume range, set the Max Volume to a high number and the Min
Volume to a low number, run your coating program several times, then check the Flow
Monitoring Volumes Table or Chart. The volume range will be shown on the table or
chart.
Fan Quick Check
Description: Looks at one edge of the fan, and determines if the edge is within the expected position
plus or minus the quick check tolerance. If the quick check passes, an OK message is logged. If the quick
check fails, the error procedure is executed. If there is no error procedure, then the program is terminated
and an error message is logged. If there is a communication problem during the quick check then the
error procedure is ignored, the program is terminated, and an error message is logged.

currently loaded programs. For example, you can create a procedure in the
macro program with a Set Output instruction that turns on the flashing red light
on the workcell light tower.
