3.2 OPERATION
The Controller Module provides the controls for producing liquid flow via a positive displacement pumping mechanism.
The systems utilize solid-state electronics, stepping motor drives, and precision machined ceramic pump heads.
These components combine to provide exceptional accuracy and precision, high reliability, and low maintenance.
IVEK units have custom designed stepping motors and pumps sized to the specific dispensing application to provide
the proper torque and speed.
Volume commands for the Controller Module use number of full revolutions. Rate commands are in revolutions per
minute. The typical resolution of the pumps used is 200 steps per revolution, or 1.8° per step.
3.2.1 Drive System
All operational parameters on the Controller Module are programmed through the touchscreen. Total electronic
control allows for full accountability of cumulative volumes dispensed.
3.2.2 Touchscreen
The touchscreen provides an operator interface to all operating parameters in the Controller Module. New values can
be entered and current values displayed for all the functions of the system. The touchscreen contains nine different
operator interface screens with each providing information to the operator. Start and Stop buttons appear on two
screens for starting and stopping the system.
3.2.2.1 Introduction
Configurations - A configuration is a collection of the operating parameters required to operate the system. The
operating parameters include volume, rate, direction and drawback. For each configuration, the parameters are stored
in the configuration database. All channels use the same value for a given parameter.
Buttons - A button initiates a command being sent to the IVEK Multispense 900 Controller Module. The "Start" and
"Stop" area in the Main screen (Figure 3.8) are examples of buttons.
Boxes - A box looks identical to a button, but provides information only. Pressing a box will have no effect on the
system. The "CHANNEL" and "DESCRIPTION" area in the Fault Screen (Figure 3.13) are examples of boxes.
Screens - There are nine screens used to setup, operate and exit the system as shown in Figure 3.3. Each screen
contains information relating to operating the system. The screens and a brief description are as follows:
Main Screen Volume, Rate and Drawback settings are viewed here. The system can be operated from this screen.
Volume & Rate Screen Volume and Rate settings are viewed and changed here. The system can be operated from this
screen.
Configuration Screen Configurations are changed and stored with this screen. Any parameters changed outside the
configuration will not be saved as a configuration.
Params A Screen Displays Totalizer, Permission, Prime Duration and Ready Out information.
Params B Screen Displays software versions and Controller serial number. Acceleration setting is viewed and
changed (Microspense only).
Drawback Screen Drawback and Stall Retries settings are viewed and changed here.
Fault Screen Faults are displayed and cleared.
Clear Totalizer Screen Clears all totalizer values.
Exit Screen Exit the software.
Figure 3.3 shows the screens and provides an overview of the function of each screen. Lines and arrows show
accessibility for each screen.

3.2.2.4 Configuration Screen (Figure 3.7)
The Configuration screen displays the parameter settings for each of the twenty five configurations. The system
arrives with a few configurations preset and the remaining configurations set with default parameters. The current
permission level determines which buttons are currently available as shown in Figure 3.7.
The configurations are the recommended method of changing operating parameters. Once a configuration has been
created or changed it is available to use each time the system is used. Parameters not saved in configurations will be
lost once the system is turned off.
The twenty five configurations are named Configuration 1 through Configuration 25. The current configuration number is
displayed in the Main screen. Each configuration can be programmed to perform a specific job function. All configuration
parameters are numerical values and must be entered in the keypad as numbers. To use a preset configuration:
1. Use the "CONFIG ->" and "<- CONFIG" buttons to move to the desired configuration.
2. Press the "USE CONFIG" button to load the parameters into the Controller Module.
