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 and configured in ECXP. The amount dispensed is logged
and stored in the production database, which can be accessed by selecting View > Data > Flow
Monitoring from the Edit Screen. Each End Flow Measurement instruction must be preceded by a Begin
Flow Measurement instruction. 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, an error procedure is executed. If there is no error procedure, the program is terminated and
an error message is logged. If there is a communication problem during the quick check, the error
procedure is ignored, the program is terminated, and an error message is logged.
