Jet valve driver zc1

General

[available since BMT Software version 0.224]

Controlling the micro jet-valves using the ZC1 controller with the BMT Software.

Each computer needs to be licensed for usage of the ZC1 controller with the software.

Function	Description
Peak current (Ip)	Peak power value in 50 mA steps from 200 mA to 1400 mA (default 1200 mA)
Holding current (Ih)	Holding power value in 50 mA steps from 50 mA to 722 mA (default 274 mA)
Release mode	Operating mode selection. Software = Software control Open valve (level-controlled) (F0) Single shot (edge-triggered) (F1) Shot series (edge-triggered) (F2) Endress shot series (level-controlled) (F3) Single shot extended (edge-controlled) with adjustment of the opening time via analog input (0 - 4 V plus flushing positions) (F4) Single shot (edge-controlled) with adjustment of the opening time via analog input (0 - 5 V) (F5)
Peak time (tp)	Peak time in [μs] Value between 100 and 4.000
Valve opening time (to)	Opening time in [μs] If Open-time < peak-time, the peak time is cutted down, ie Peak time = Open time. Value between 50 and 5.000.000
Cycle time (T)	Cycle time in [μs] If cycle-time < open-time, the value is automatically adjusted. Cycle-time=open-time + 100 μs A new shot can be triggered only when the cycle time has expired. Value between 300 and 9.999.999
Frequency (Hz)	Frequency of dosing interval. Calculated according to valve opening time (to) and cycle time (T)

Function	Description
On	Opens the valve
One shot	One shot with duration of valve opening time (to)
Shot series	Number of shot series using control parameters
Endless shot series	Endless shots using control parameters

Name	Description
single	The functions of the program table will be run once.
repeat	The functions of the program table will be repeated.
repeat endless	The repeating is endless and will only be stopped when the exception is stopped using the program stop button in the controller or program details.
repeat time	The program table will be repeated for the time entered in this field.
Program table	This table shows the configuration of the different program steps. It is possible to re-order or delete the entries using the buttons at the right of the table, or the table menu using the right mouse klick. It is also possible to edit rows of the program table for reconfiguration. [Since BMT Software version 0.228]
Program types	Action = Different program action (Single shot, Shot Series, On, Endless shot series, Stop, Sleep) Control Parameter = Setting new control parameter (Peak time, Valve opening time, Cycle time, Frequency)
