Appendix A - Programming Menu Detail A-3
18. Edit Line Parameters - Allows you to control the various facets of line dispensing. You can tailor
Dispensing Head movement, speed, and time delay to fit your specific needs.
19. Edit Fluid Manager
- Opens the Fluid Manager window with the following tabbed pages: Pot Life \
Low Fluid Check, Purge Parameters, Dot Weight Parameters, Weight Verification, Air Pressure
Settings, and Attach Script Files.
20. Edit Program Options
- Activates a drop-down menu with the following options:
• Set Valve Auto-Refill
- Opens a dialog box that offers several options for dictating a refill time
for DP-Series dispensing valves.
• Set Post Run Park Location
- Opens a dialog box where you to designate a location for the
Dispensing Head to wait between dispenses during a production run. This feature can greatly
increase throughput.
• Set Vision Options
- This selection contains the following options:
- Find All Fids At Program Start
- When this radio button is selected, the system will find all
the fiducials before starting the dispensing program. This is the default condition.
- Enable Pipelining
- When checked, the Pipeline Vision feature is enabled, which causes
fiducial information to be "pipelined" and calculated while the next commanded move is
being executed. FmXP does not wait in the same location. This option can increase
throughput by combining functions during the fiducial finding process. If this option is not
used, FmXP waits at a fiducial location until it has completely finished identifying the
fiducial and calculating its location before executing the next commanded move.
- Find Fiducials As Needed
- When this radio button is selected, the system will find pattern
fiducials when the pattern is first executed.
• Set Conveyor Width
- Only available if enabled and calibrated in the Setup Configuration -
Conveyor
dialog box. Establishes Automatic Conveyor Width parameters for the currently
loaded dispensing program.
• Set Fiducial Search At Safe Z
- Only available if Enable Z Positioning in the Setup Vision
Parameters dialog box is enabled. Opens a dialog box where you can enable the Dispensing
Head to move to the Safe Z Height while moving from one fiducial location to the next,
ensuring that the Camera does not collide with any obstacles.
• Set Batch Height Sense
- Only available if Height Sense on command and Batch height
sense
are enabled in the Height Sensor Configuration dialog box. Opens a dialog box where
you can enable/disable this feature for existing programs. This option finds all fiducials and
immediately executes all height sense instructions at the beginning of a program prior to
dispensing. FmXP remembers the height information and applies it to each item in the batch
instead of a height sense for each item.
• Set Program Pre-Heat Timer
- Only available if Enable Pre-heat Timer is enabled in the
Heater dialog box. Opens a dialog box where you can set the wait time. 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.
• Set Max Time Board at Dispense
- Opens a dialog box where you can set the wait time. This
feature is useful for in-line systems when substrate heat is used at the dispense station. If the
production line stops downstream, this feature can warn the operator that the workpiece has
remained over the heater too long.
