Abstract
A system and method of storing and reading parameter data associated with an electrostatic spray gun power supply is provided. The method includes, for example, the steps of reading parameter data associated with a power supply for a particular spray gun from a database and storing the parameter data in a memory device associated with the spray gun. The parameter data may include the drive current parameter information, for example, and additionally, spray gun type identification information. The memory device is preferably integral with the spray gun or a cable connector that connects to the spray gun. The data or information can be in the form of analog or digital information. After reading the spray gun power supply parameter data, the spray gun controller appropriately operates and monitors the spray gun to ensure that the spray gun power supply is performing properly.
