7 Dual Panel Application
The Dual Panel modes are for labeling two adjacent panel of a carton utilizing a single
applicator.
The Dual Panel functionality requires the use of special dual panel
firmware. On the bootup display, the firmware version will end with DP
7.1 Dual Panel Mode
The Dual Panel Mode menu allows the applicator to be configured in one of 5 Dual Panel
modes. Available Print modes are Normal and Reverse and available apply modes are
Tamp and Tampjet. The two cycles of a dual panel are the equivalent of a tamp
application and a swing arm application. Refer to the appropriate sections for cycle
setup.
Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 are defined by the plumbing and electrical setup. Cycle
1 is controlled by connector J9 (Tamp) and cycle 2 is controlled by connector
J20(V5). Either the straight cycle or the swing cycle can be plumbed to be
cycle 1 depending on application requirements.
7.1.1 Mode 1
In this mode, photocell 1 fires cycle 1 and photocell 2 fires cycle two. Each photocell
can be configured individually using Apply Delay 1 and Apply Delay 2.
Mode 1 requires the use of two photocells and a dual photocell adapter
cable. The adapter cable is p/n: ID100067. Alternately a Dual Photocell
bare end cable, p/n: ID100076, can be utilized to control the triggers from an
external source such as a PLC.
7.1.2 Mode 2
In this mode, a single photocell is used to initiate both cycles in sequence. In Mode 2,
cycle 1 fires first, followed by cycle 2. Apply delay 1 is used to delay cycle 1 and apply
delay 2 is used to delay the second cycle.
7.1.3 Mode 3
In this mode, a single photocell is used to initiate both cycles in sequence. In Mode 2,
cycle 2 fires first, followed by cycle 1. Apply delay 1 is used to delay cycle 1 and apply
delay 2 is used to delay the second cycle.
7.1.4 Mode 4
In this mode, the dual panel module may be used to only apply a single label by only
activating cycle 1.
