Output - Equipment Function - 5 -TIRE DEVICE

Equipment Function - 5 -TIRE DEVICE

This equipment function selection will enable the output to trigger upon the front tire of the vehicle, and will act upon both the front and rear tires.  For example: Wheel washers. 

When an output is configured for 5 - TIRE DEVICE, the Pre-Station ON and Post-Station OFF settings are each considered half of the tire diameter.  Pre-Station On is the forward half, and Post-Station OFF is the rear half.  For example, assuming your goal is to cover up to 24" tires, set Pre-Station ON to 12”, and Post Station OFF of 12”.  These setting will combine to result in 24” of output on time.  

NOTE:  To ensure proper operation of this equipment type, is important to understand that your tire switch / treadle must be mounted no more than 6" past the gate/enter eye (toward the tunnel exit), or no more than 12" before the gate/enter eye (toward the tunnel entrance). 

Look Ahead

This setting instructs the system, in inches, how far it should "look" ahead to see if another vehicle is trailing the vehicle it just completed its action on.  If another vehicle exists between the current vehicle's rear bumper and the inches specified, this output will keep itself turned on.  Otherwise, it will turn itself off as configured.

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.

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 rear 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.
