Equipment Function - 2 - FRONT BUMPER ONLY

This output's on trigger is the front of the vehicle.  It will turn on as early as Prime Extra On (if enabled), plus Pre Station On.  Once the front of the vehicle has reached Distance To Gate, it will turn off after Post Station Off.

The Cruz Car Wash Controller can fire an output defined by this equipment type as soon as the enter eye has detected 1" or more of vehicle length.

For a full explanation of outputs as well as a detailed description of the general configurations shared by all outputs, please reference the article Outputs.

For a detailed explanation of Asset Code, Asset Iteration and Asset System Level, please reference article Asset Codes, Asset Iterations and Asset System Levels Explained

Auto On With High Hood

Enabling this (slider moved to the right/blue) will instruct this output to turn itself on upon system "high hood" detection.

Output Logic

This defines for the system what "off" and "on" mean.  

N/O Normally Open

When set to N/O Normally Open, the system will hold low (turn off its relay or command via communication protocol "off" to equipment) its signal while the output is at rest.  Then when the system decides its time to turn the output "on", it will turn on and energize its relay, or command via communication protocol "on" to the equipment.

N/C Normally Closed

When set to N/C Normally Closed, the system will hold hi (turn on/energize its relay or command via communication protocol "on" to equipment) its signal while the output is at rest.  Then when the system decides its time to turn the output "on", it will turn of and deenergize its relay, or command via communication protocol "off" to the equipment.

Include in the WetDown procedure

Enabling this (slider moved to the right/blue) will instruct this output to turn itself on upon "WetDown" request from the user.  For more information regarding wet down, please see article Wet Down - What is it?

ON during Anti Collision

Enabling this (slider moved to the right/blue) will instruct this output to keep itself on, if it was already on, during a collision avoidance event.  For more information regarding collision avoidance events, please see article Collision Avoidance - What is it?

Restart Output Seconds

The second, as in time, marker for which this Output will delay fire to return to operation after an ESTOP. For instance, setting your first Dryer Arch Outputs all to 1 and your second Dryer Arch Outputs to 2, will delay by one second then fire the first arch then another second and fire the second arch.

Prime Trigger Mins

If this value is greater than zero, this instructs the system to add additional on time (defined by Prime Extra On) to this output before it was set to turn on automatically.  The value you specify here, in minutes, tells the system to pay attention to the last time it was turned on, and if it hasn't turned on again within the minutes specified, add additional early on distance (defined by Prime Extra On), to when it was set to turn on again automatically.  This is typically used to reprime lines or rewet brushes.  

Prime Extra On

If Prime Trigger Mins is greater than zero, this value specifies how early, in inches, this output should turn on when Prime Trigger Mins has been exceeded.

Pre Station On

This value, in inches, enables the user to specify how far before the front bumper reaches Distance To Gate this output should turn on. 

Distance To Gate

This defines the distance, in inches, from the entry eye to the central point of the equipment's operational window as specified by equipment's operator manual.  

Post Station Off

This value, in inches, enables the user to specify how long this output should remain on after the front bumper of the vehicle has past Distance To Gate

Motor Type

Motor Type determines how the Cruz Control Car Wash Controller is to fire this output.  

0 - None

A motor type of "None" indicates the controller is to fire this physical output. Physical outputs are those that are designated "CRx".  Motor City Wash Works offers multiple physical output configurations for purchase, up to a maximum of 128.  Please consult with your sales representative for more information.

1 - TeSys

A motor type of "TeSys" indicates the controller is to fire an attached TeSys Bus Coupler motor starter via ModbusTCP communication. These are often referred to as "network driven" outputs.  All Cruz Control Car Wash Controllers support 25 TeSys outputs; these are numbered output 128 through output 153.

2 - VFD

A motor type of "VFD" indicates the controller is to fire an attached variable frequency drive via ModbusTCP communication. These are often referred to as "network driven" outputs. All Cruz Control Car Wash Controllers support 85 VFD outputs; these are numbered output 154 through output 239.

3 - PLC

A motor type of "PLC" Indicates that the output interacts with another Motor City Wash Works Cruz Control enabled Device to carry out the I/O operation necessary via modbus TCP. These subsystems include but are not limited to the Dry n Shine and Glow Wash.
