2 System Overview

The 3500-ETC is an electronic

controller with a built-in PLC,

designed specifically to control

AMCOL 3500E Powder Coating

Systems. This option allows you to

have the benefit of electronic

timing without the technical

resources or experience.

The 3500-ETC gives you the ability

to quickly and accurately increase

or decrease system cycle settings

at the push of a button, without

needing to reprogram and

configure the press PLC. These

settings are also clearly visible to

confirm that the spray cycle is

correct and consistent.

When the 3500-ETC receives a signal from your machine controls (24V DC or

110V AC), it triggers one cycle of the 3500E. The ETC uses two output signals to

operate the 3500E, and an additional output can be wired to control the dust

collection system. The first output controls the Fluidizing Air Valve. This valve will

be open for a set time during the spray cycle. The second output connects

directly to the Wagner EPG SPRINT controller. This connection closes a contact

between two pins on the controller which operates the spray gun for a set time

and coats the billet. When connected to the ETC, the optional dust collector will

turn on when the Fluidizing Air Valve is on, and will continue for a set amount of

time after spraying to collect any overspray.

When used in combination with a 3500-ETC, a 3500E Powder Coating System

can provide an accurate and repeatable coating in a complete package

without any of the hassle of reprogramming or rewiring to a press PLC.
