The 16 pin terminal strip includes four dispense valve initiate inputs, an
alarm I/O, an End of Cycle output, and a 24VDC courtesy power output.
The four initiate inputs can be connected in series, parallel, or to
separate input sources for independent valve control, or ability to
disable a specific valve when using “part in place” verification.
For detailed connection schematic and instructions, refer to page 14.
The alarm I/O is used to monitor air supply pressure and/or tank low
level. This I/O can be used to operate an audible alarm, or be connected
to the machine controls to shut off the machine if air pressure or tank
level is low. In addition, when the alarm is activated, the display will flash
“ALr” , indicating that air pressure or tank level has dropped below
minimum.
The End Of Cycle (EOC) feedback can send a signal back to the
machine controls, signaling when the dispense cycle is finished.
Using this signal can increase machine productivity by eliminating
any delay after the dispense cycle and also confirms a dispense cycle
has occurred. 2 INIT and 4 INIT are non-active inputs. As long as an
initiate sequence is in progress on any channel, the EOC circuit is open.
Maximum load is 100 mA from 5 to 24 VDC.

See page19 for a detailed Initiate Connection Schematic.
1····2 and 3····4 Channel Initiate
The 8040 can be initiated through a time cycle by the application of
5 to 24 VDC to the 1 INIT or 3 INIT input terminals. A system set-up
schematic is detailed on page14. 2 INIT and 4 INIT input terminals
are not used.
Alarm IN / OUT Connection
The ValveMate 8040 features an ALARM input and output circuits. The
ALARM IN can be activated through the connection of either the low air
pressure sensor (supplied), low level fluid float switch (if used) or other
such device/accessory that may be selected for ALARM purposes.
ALARM switches are to be wired in series and must be normally closed
switches.
If no ALARM switch is being used, the ALARM IN positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals must have a jumper installed to disable the
ALARM feature.
The ALARM OUT circuit is a normally OFF electronic switch that can
switch an external 5–24 VDC circuit to an external signaling device or
PLC input. Maximum load is 100 mA, 5–24 VDC.
Initiate Connection

ValveMate 8040 Controller
18 www.nordsonefd.com [email protected] [phone] Sales and service of Nordson EFD dispensing systems are available worldwide.
Initiate Connection (continued)
End of Cycle Connection (EOC)
Upon completion of a spray cycle, an open collector circuit closes and
remains closed until the next spray cycle. This circuit can be utilized
to signal back to a host computer, start another device in sequence or
other operations that need to be tied into the completion of the spray
cycle. This circuit will close when all spray activity has completed.
Upon closure, power from an external source is allowed to pass through
the circuit to operate a 5 to 24 VDC load or be monitored by the host
machine controls.
The load illustrated is a relay, but this could be any device that will
operate within the 5 to 24 volt range. Power consumption of the load
must not exceed 250 mA.
24 VDC Output
Courtesy 24 volt DC 100 mA (maximum) can be used to provide power
to EOC and ALARM out circuits for signaling purposes. Also, can be
used as a power source for an indicator device or initiate signal through
a contact closure switch to the 4-channel Initiate circuit.
