Introduction 1-7
1.6.8.4 Pre-Heat Timer Verification
This feature verifies that the workpiece has remained in the pre-heat station of the dispensing system for
the specified length of time. If the workpiece is conveyed out of the pre-heat station before the specified
time, production stops and an error message is displayed.
1.6.8.5 Controlled Process Heat (CpH™)
Nordson ASYMTEK’s optional Controlled Process Heat (CpH) software increases functional control that
eliminates operator interaction altogether: software-managed heat levels (e.g., warm up, process ramp,
cool down, etc.) with programmable shut-off timers and ‘step-down’ or ‘no-heat’ capability when a part is
not present. CpH control improves both yield and ‘thermal footprint’ efficiency by requiring less power.
1.6.9 Standard, and Precision Selection
FmXP now allows the user to choose from two dispenser configuration modes:
Standard
Precision - highest accuracy
This feature is available on the X-1000 Dispensing Systems only. See 4.4.12 Dispenser Setup.
1.6.10 Graphic User Interface (GUI)
FmXP was designed to utilize the simplicity and intuitiveness of Windows-based software. It provides a
Graphic User Interface or GUI (usually pronounced GOO-ee) rather than a purely textual user interface to
the computer. GUI programs use icons, toolbars, taskbars, and other point and click functions.
1.6.11 Internationalization
FmXP is capable of supporting foreign languages. Default passwords are a simple carriage return to
support Internationalization. See 4.3.1 Language.
1.6.12 SEMI E10/E58/E116 Equipment States
E10 states are used for tracking the six basic states of a machine as defined by SEMI specifications E10
and E58 and the time spent in each state. SEMI E10 also links with Equipment Performance Tracking-
SEMI E116 to determine equipment states in an automated equipment environment. This option provides
a quick summary of the overall performance and utilization of the dispensing system that can be recorded
in the machine log file.
1.6.13 Statistical Process Control (SPC) Data Logging
For production run statistics, FmXP can collect board tracking data, production lot tracking, flow rate
calibration data, and fluid lot data. The information is collected in an ASCII format data file, which can
be read by any standard text reader or editor, such as Microsoft Notepad. See 4.3.7 Setup Logging.
