A plural component dispensing system includes a dispensing device, first and second fluid component sources, a system controller, and an operator interface device. The first fluid component source is connected to the dispensing device to deliver the first fluid component to the dispensing device. The second fluid component source is connected to the dispensing device to deliver the second fluid component to the dispensing device. The system controller is connected to regulate operation of the first fluid component source and the second fluid component source to produce a target ratio of the first fluid component and the second fluid component at the dispensing device. The operator interface device is remote from and operatively connected to the system controller. The operator interface device is configured to output system state information received from the system controller and to receive operator input to control an operational state of the system controller.

Operator interface device and distributed control for fluid dispensing systems

Operator interface device for a plural component dispensing system

A plural component dispensing systemreceives separate fluid components, mixes the components in a predetermined ratio, and dispenses the components as mixture. Each fluid component is supplied by a separate pumpA,B to an individual variably controllable fluid regulatorA,B. Each fluid component is supplied from its individual fluid regulatorA,B through a flow meterA,B to a mixing device. The ratio of the components delivered to the mixing deviceis controlled by the individual fluid regulatorsA,B based upon the flow rates measured by the flow metersA,B.
