05.1 OVERVIEW OF OPERATING DEVICES
The controller enclosure at the top of the machine
contains the primary devices that the operator will use
during operation.
WARNING
The machine uses high voltage. Servicing must be
done only by qualified personnel to prevent accidental
electrocution injury or equipment component damage.
05.2 HMI TOUCHSCREEN
The human machine interface (HMI) touchscreen (1) is
used as an operator control panel for the machine.
The software-based touchscreen replaces manual
controls with software parameters so that operators can
easily adapt and adjust the functions.
The touchscreen buttons are graphical representations
of the physical devices that control the machine's
processes. They let operators adjust and interact with
control processes without the use of external tools,
including starting and stopping the machine and adjusting
set points and output states (which valves are activated
and fluid components).
The touchscreen runs on modern operating systems and
can perform functions and control tasks across distributed
and potentially complex processes from a centralized
location.
Most of the IntelliFlow system operation information
found in the manuals is available directly through the
touchscreen.

05.3 EMERGENCY STOP (E-STOP)
BUTTON
The IntelliFlow panel incorporates an emergency stop
(E-Stop) button (1) on the front panel, along with an
additional unused set of normally open and normally
closed contacts, for customer use to interlock other
system functions.
When the E-Stop button is pressed, all current machine
operations immediately stop. Pressing the E-Stop button
does not completely power off the machine but ceases
the current operation. All analog and control outputs
to the fluid system are removed, and the fluid flow will
immediately stop for all channels.
After correcting the issue that caused the work stoppage,
reset the safety relay by pressing the reset button on the
HMI. This resumes machine operation.
05.4 STACK LIGHT
The stack light (2) visually communicates the status
or operation errors of the machine to the operator or
personnel on the operating floor.
The stack light illuminates in different colors that tell
the operator the general status of the machine at any
given time during operation. Refer to the table below to
understand what the illuminated colors represent.
LIGHT FUNCTION
Green—Solid Machine is in RUN state, and no trigger signal is present on any stations.
Green—Flashing Machine is in RUN state, and trigger signal is present on one or more stations.
Red—Solid Machine fault is present.
Yellow—Solid Warning indication. No fault is currently present.

06.3.1 OUTPUT CONFIGURATION
Use the Output Configuration (1) screen to define the
description, type, and interlocks for each output of the
solenoid manifold.
06.3.1.1 DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
The RF2+ can control external air signals, including
applicator trigger and dump signals. Every solenoid
controlled by the RF2+ is programmable, so the individual
port location for any signal depends on the programmed
location for that signal.
The standard RF2+ configuration will be programmed
from the factory with a list of signals. A list will be
provided to show the air connections as programmed.
Users can view and modify this list as desired.
To view the list of connections:
1. Select Sol. Man 0 (2) on the top of the output
configuration screen. Note that the RF2+ can control
up to four solenoid manifolds, but in many cases,
the system will only be configured for one. Only
connected manifolds will be shown.
2. The list of outputs is shown as Port 4 and Port 2 (3),
with 16 rows representing the possible 16 modules
in the selected manifold. Each module has two
solenoids. The orientation is the same as the view
of the air connections at the base of the solenoid
manifold.
All air signals that control elements that are provided with
the RF2+ will be pre-programmed, and their air tubing will
be pre-installed. However, their solenoid locations may
also be viewed or modified using the same procedure as
above.
If a solenoid fails due to wear or other damage, a quick
output swap process is provided so that any two output
configurations and functionality can be swapped.
Normally, the system will be provided with some unused
solenoids for this purpose. This function is located in
06.3.1.2 Editing Outputs.

06.3.1.2 EDITING OUTPUTS
The list of solenoids in the manifold (1) updates each
time the user selects a new manifold. Each output on the
manifold (0-31) can be selected.
Note that the outputs are arranged in two columns (Port
4 and Port 2). Their orientation represents the view of the
air connections on the back of the solenoid manifold.
To view individual output details:
1. Select the source of the outputs: either Sol Man. 0 (1)
or Discrete (2).
Discrete refers to outputs hardwired within the RF2+
cabinet enclosure. Only 11 digital outputs (outputs
0–10) are available from this source. Discrete outputs
11–31 can be used to send signals over the fieldbus
connection.
To view the default functions of discrete outputs, refer
to the RF2+ 77-3165-1 Installation Manual, section
09. Electrical Schematics.
2. Select the Output Definition (3) of the output you
wish to edit. The Selection Details (4) section
updates with each selection.
3. To modify the output details, press Selection
Details. This opens a pop-up screen. Refer to
06.3.1.3 Configure Outputs for output configuration
instructions.
Output Interlocks (5) prevent two incompatible outputs
from being active at any given time.
To select or deselect an output as an interlock, press the
necessary interlocked output button.
Swap Outputs (6) opens the swap outputs configuration
screen. Section 06.3.1.4 Swap Outputs details how to
swap an output.
S1 Load, S2 Load, S3 Load, and S4 Load (7) allow
outputs to be interlocked with system functions Station 1
Load, Station 2 Load, Station 3 Load, and Station 4 Load.
Interlocking these functions can be used to prevent a
solvent solenoid from being open at the same time as a
color valve while a recipe is loaded. Using an interlocked
solvent valve with these signals saves time because there
is no need to interlock each CCV with a solvent valve.
NOTICE
Interlocks are scanned from lowest to highest. A
solenoid with a lower number will always override a
solenoid with a higher number.
NOTICE
The system can only open a single CCV at any time, so
it is not necessary to interlock CCVs with each other.

backward compatibility
• Pass Through (6): This method lets the user
set the solenoid manifold outputs for their own
purposes by mapping the outputs to a hardwired
input or a signal from the fieldbus.
Hardwired inputs 1 – 16 are labeled on the
electrical schematics as User input x. If an
input is not used for its primary function, it can be
used here as a pass through. Inputs 16 – 64 are
fieldbus signals only.
The Input Number (7) is the input ID that will
affect the output.

06.3.2 FLUID SEQUENCES
Sequences are user-programmable routines used when
the system is loaded and flushed.
Sequences are initiated automatically when a recipe is
loaded or changed, or they can be initiated manually for
flushing.
The RF2+ supports up to 16 sequences per station. The
sequences consist of 12 timed steps with user-selectable
step times. Each step can contain up to 50 actions, which
are called functions.
Functions enable valves or override system functions and
allow material to be routed as necessary to load and flush
materials in any number of piping topologies.
To access this screen, select Fluid Sequences (1) in the
setup main screen.
06.3.2.1 CHANGING FLUID SEQUENCES

06.3.2.4 SEQUENCE OPTIMIZATION TIPS
To optimize a sequence, consider:
• Worst-case flushing: Always set up the flush
parameters using the most viscous/worst-case
material.
• Flushing air and solvent pressure: Higher pressures
may reduce the time needed to flush the system
but can create significant applicator spit during the
procedure.
• Material viscosity: Viscous materials move slowly
through the system and can require additional purge
time.
• Hose volume/length: Longer fluid lines contain a
larger material volume and may need a longer flush
time. Pressure drop through a longer hose or smaller
diameter hose will affect the required time to purge
material and clean the system.
• Spray applicator tip size: Small tips can restrict flow
during a flush.
The suggestion below can help to optimize the system
and minimize solvent use during color changes and
flushes:
• Use air instead of solvent for the first flush.
• Let the chop process do most of the cleaning.
• Do not use more solvent than necessary for the last
solvent flush.

06.3.3.3 SELECT FUNCTION OUTPUTS
System outputs are predefined outputs used internally to
the system to activate certain features. Like configured
outputs, these are called by function. Options include:
• Station X Mat EN (1): Tells the system when the
material is being loaded or when the system is being
flushed.
When active, the material valves for the selected
station recipe will be active. When deactivated, the
system will assume the flow of solvent or air.
This command is used with a latch function set at
the start of any load sequence. It is cleared with an
unlatch at the start of any flush sequence.
• Station X Max Flow (2): Use this function during a
load sequence. When active, the flow command for
the outlet will be the recipe called Sequence High
Flow Rate. Materials will mix on ratio at this rate
instead of the Default Flow Rate.
• Station X A-Fill (3): When active, the station's
A channel will be forced to be fully open. Use this
function to purge operations or load material quickly
to the flow meter.
• Station X B-Fill (4): When active, the station's
B channel will be forced to be fully open. Use this
function to purge operations or load material quickly
to the flow meter.
• Station X C-Fill (5): When active, the station's
C channel will be forced to be fully open. Use this
function to purge operations or load material quickly
to the flow meter.
• Station X Stop (6): When a sequence is run and
contains this function, the station will automatically
stop at the end of the sequence. This function is
typically used for an end-of-day flush, when the
system is set to automatically shut off after a system
flush.
• Station X PL Reset (7): Manually resets the pot
life timers on the station. This function can be used
together with a mix block flush, where solvent does
not pass through the flow meter to reset the pot life
normally. Take care to avoid using this option when
the lines may not be flushed, as no pot life alarms will
occur.
After selecting an option, select Close (8) to return to the
main function configuration screen.

each applicator.
Refer to the calculation table shown below for volume
estimates based on material delivery hose length and
inside diameter (ID).
When the system is flushed, the flush volume must
be greater than the mixed volume to fully reset an
applicator's pot life.
○ Mixed Volumed 1 is the volume measured when
trigger 1 of an outlet is active.
○ Mixed Volume 2 is the volume measured when
trigger 2 of an outlet is active.
○ Mixed Volume 3 is the volume measured when
trigger 3 of an outlet is active.
○ Mixed Volume 4 is the volume measured when
trigger 4 of an outlet is active.
• Blowoff Time (4) is used with manual applicators to
cause a delay between the turn-on of the trigger air

If the trigger solenoid opens before the MVR,
the applicator may spray momentarily, then stop
and start again once the MVR has opened. The
trigger-on delay prevents this occurrence.
b. Trigger-Off Delay: When a trigger stops, the
applicator trigger solenoid remains on for a
specified amount of time after the flow has shut
down.
c. MVR Hold: The MVR will hold at its previous
value after a trigger-off event for this amount
of time before returning to the minimum control
pressure value. This option is available for
channels that use an MVR-type controller.
d. Minimum/Maximum Flow: Enter values to
scale an optional analog (0-10V or 4/20mA) flow
command. These parameters are used to scale
the gauges on the main run screen to show the

ratio tracking. Ratio tracking tries to correct
ratio errors in automatic outlets by increasing or
decreasing component B or component C flow. In
manual outlets, this behavior cannot be disabled.
Disabling ratio tracking prevents the flow command
for components B and C changing from the specified
amount. This function is useful in situations where
very precise flow rates are needed.

CHANNELS USED BY THE SELECTED
OUTLET
Use the channel edit screen to make changes to recipes
and their related stations, channels, and flow commands.
To access and modify the channel edit screen:
1. Select an outlet on the main recipe screen.
2. Select a channel option at the bottom of the outlet
screen (1).
The name of the channel currently being edited is
displayed on the middle right corner of the screen (2).
3. Select Recipe to Edit (3) to change recipes. A pop-
up screen opens with recipe options.
4. Enter Flow Control values (4). These parameters
show the current settings for the hardware channel
but can be changed.
a. Flow Calibration: Enter pulses per liter. For
quadrature flow meters, there are four pulses
per flow-meter cycle. Therefore, if a flow meter is
rated for 14000 cycles/liter, the pulses per liter =
56000.
b. Flow Control PID - Kp/Ki: The P and I
components of the PID govern flow control
These can be adjusted slightly based on different
materials and nominal flow rates. Good numbers
to start with are 4000 and 600, respectively.
c. Minimum Control Pressure: The lowest
pressure at which an MVR pilot valve will operate.
Set this value slightly below the cracking
pressure of the MVR to give a faster response.
Typically, weepless MVRs use a value of 10 psi.
Weeping MVRs use a value closer to 20 psi.
d. Maximum Control Pressure: The highest
pressure at which an MVR pilot valve will operate.
This can be used to limit material flow when
triggering on.

NOTICE
Users may choose to complete flow calibration through
an automated process. This process compares a
measured output of material with the counts during a
calibration cycle to fine-tune the calibration for different
materials.

e. Flow Control PID - C Band (1): Given in cc/min.
If the flow rate error is greater than this value, the
Flow Control PID - Kp value will be multiplied to
give a faster response.
f. Flow Control PID - I Band (1): Given in cc/min.
If the flow rate error is greater than this, the Flow
Control PID - Ki value will be multiplied to give a
faster response.
5. Select the Disable CCV when trigger off box (2)
to open and close the CCV for this channel with the
trigger input. The option prevents material leakage
through the MVR.
If unchecked, the CCV will remain open when the

6. For systems using inlet pressure regulation, enter
the pressure for channel operation in Inlet Pressure
Control (3).
7. Enter values into Optimal Min Inlet Pressure and
Optimal Max Inlet Pressure (3) to ensure inlet
pressure does not exceed or fall below the optimal
operating range, where the MVR is best able to
control the fluid flow.
If the maximum inlet pressure is set to a value above
0, the inlet pressure regulator will automatically adjust
to keep the MVR pressure between 20 and 65 psi.
8. Select the backup/restore icon (4) to save or load the

07.5 FLOW METER CALIBRATION
Calibrating the flow meter is necessary for the best ratio
performance of the RF2+. Calibration is recommended
for each material used because materials of different
viscosities may cause the gears within a flow meter to
turn more or less than others.
At low flow rates (less than 100 cc/min), the flow meter's
operation depends on the flow rate. It is recommended
that the material be calibrated at close to the process's
nominal flow rate.
Calibration data is stored in recipe data. The calibration
screen may be accessed from the recipe edit screen or
the channel detail pop-up screen, which can be accessed
from the main screen.
To calibrate a flow meter:
1. Load a recipe/material into the system.
2. Access the calibration screen through the channel
configuration screen. To access the screen through
channel configuration:
a. Select the appropriate outlet from the main run
screen (1).
b. From the outlet details screen, select the
appropriate channel (2).
c. Select Calibrate (3).
3. Place a cup under the calibration port for the channel
being calibrated to catch material flowing from the
port.

4. Set the Flow Command value (1). The flow
command will be given to the flow control device
during the calibration process. The recommended
flow rate is the same rate expected during use.
5. If desired, set a delay time (2). The delay time
allows the user time to position the beaker under the
calibration port.
6. Set a time for the calibration port to remain open (3).
7. Press START (4). The calibration port will open for
the set amount of time and material will flow from the
calibration port for the duration of the calibration time.
If users choose to set a delay time, the calibration
port will remain closed until the delay time has
elapsed.
8. When the calibration is complete, enter the measured
amount of material into the Actual Volume field
(5). Based on the number of flow-meter pulses
counted and the actual volume entered, a suggested
calibration (6) will be calculated.
9. Press Accept (7) to accept the suggested calibration
as the calibration value.
Alternatively, the calibration value can be directly entered
from this screen. Changes made to the calibration are
stored in the recipe parameters for the recipe loaded into
the system.

07.6 PULSE VALVE ADJUSTMENT
A pulse valve is a specially designed solenoid valve used
to deliver extremely fast pulses. These valves operate
using air pressure to open or close and use the same air
supply that controls the system.
The duration that the valve remains open determines the
amount of material that will flow through it. This duration
is measured in percentages and referred to as the pulse
valve duty cycle. The duty cycle value is displayed on the
touchscreen Channel Output % indicator (1).
It is important for the pulse valve to operate within its
optimal range. This optimal range allows the valve to
remain open for longer periods to facilitate greater flow
and correct high-ratio errors. Conversely, it also allows
for shorter open periods to limit material flow and correct
low-ratio errors.
If the pulse valve is out of its optimal range, a screwdriver
icon (2) will appear underneath the outlet status indicator.
To adjust the pulse valve:
1. Verify that the system is loaded with the materials
used in normal operation and the flow rates are
similar to those used in normal operation.
2. Locate a 13 mm wrench.
3. If the channel output is below 10%:
a. Turn the wrench counterclockwise (3) to loosen
the jam nut on the adjustment screw.
b. Turn the adjustment screw clockwise (4) until the
channel output percentage increases.
If the screw is turned to the clockwise limit,
material flow will stop. If the valve must be
operated close to this limit to achieve the optimal
range, Binks recommends reducing the inlet
pressure.
c. Use the screwdriver to hold the adjustment screw
in place, then turn the wrench clockwise (5) to set
the adjustment screw in position.
4. If the channel is above 90%:

07.7.3 POT LIFE ALARMS
The majority of alarms will shut down the system and can
be cleared when the reset button on the main run screen
is pressed.
An expired pot life, however, requires a system flush to
reset system operation.
When a pot life warning occurs, the system will remain
in run mode, but the CCV valves will close and cause
the material flow to stop. If an outlet is in the middle of
a spray operation when a pot life fault is issued, it will
trigger a shutdown alarm.
Therefore, it is imperative to take appropriate action
when you receive an expired pot life notification because
such a warning will immediately halt the system's spray
operation.
Pot life can only be reset through a system flush of the
expired material. The system must either enter or stay in
the run state. For the appropriate flush sequence, refer to
06.3.2.2 Sequence Settings.
To reset pot life:
1. Reset other alarms if present by pressing RESET (1)
on the main run screen.
2. Open the sequences tray and select Change Recipe
(2) from the main run screen.
3. Select Flush A or Flush All (3) to flush out the pot life
timers of all outlets on the affected station.

Corvina is secured. However, anytime a machine
is connected to the internet, it is possible malicious
actors may gain access to the RF2+ via the cloud
service. In such a scenario, they could activate the unit
remotely and release chemicals when no personnel are
present. Deactivating the RF2+'s air and fluid supplies
when no personnel are around minimizes the risk, as
recommended in the safety section.
If you suspect someone has unauthorized access
to your RF2+, immediately contact either your
organization's administrator of your Corvina Cloud
service or the distributor of your equipment. Reach
out to Binks for assistance if you are unaware of this
information.
