Frequently Asked Questions - InvisiPac HM50 24Y118 GRACO

How do I turn on the InvisiPac HM50 24Y118 pattern controller?

Press the power button to turn the system on. The screen will display the home screen. Refer to the Turn System On section in the manual.

How can I select a program on the controller?

Navigate to the PC Control screen using the left arrow, then use the up/down arrows to highlight a program and press enter to select it.

How do I clear errors on the display?

Acknowledge each error by pressing the enter button. The display will show 'No Active Errors' when all are cleared. If an error persists, seek technical support.

What is the difference between time-based and distance-based line mode?

Time-based mode uses fixed timing; distance-based mode uses an encoder to measure product length. For PC-8e only, uncheck time-based and check encoder box for distance mode.

How do I set up the trigger for the pattern controller?

Set the trigger polarity to indicate on/off, then assign the trigger to line 1 or 2 (PC-8e only) from the Trigger Setup screen.

What are the gun compensation settings for?

Gun open/close compensation adjusts timing for precise bead application: ~5ms for high-speed guns, ~10ms for standard guns.

How do I configure the run up control?

From the Run Up Control screen, set the modulated bead curve and run up curve by defining output values at line speed and max/min limits.

How do I define a pattern using the event map?

Enter the Event Map screen, assign triggers to valves, set gun-to-trigger offset, minimum box length, enable mirroring, and adjust stitch savings. Then define bead offset, length, and stitch option in the Define Pattern section.

Can I copy or delete programs?

Yes. In the Select Program screen, you can copy existing programs to create new ones, delete programs, and name them for easy identification.

Where can I find the complete manual?
