Calipso ProGUI installed on a workplace PC (office computer). This PC is equipped with the
necessary input and output equipment (keyboard, mouse, monitor and printer). It is connected by
data cable to the server PC in the electric switch cabinet (MCC) and can be optionally integrated into
a network, e.g. to process data from a color metric computer or host computer.
Calipso ProPLC is the software of the system control (PLC). This program coordinates the
necessary steps in the specified production procedure, supervises the proper functioning of the
various system elements, records the production procedure, registers any disturbances, which occur,
and makes sure that the specified safety procedures are carried out.
Calipso ProVi is the software of the operating terminal. This manual explains how the software
works.
After having started the dispensing system, the start screen for input of the user name and password
opens at the operating terminal.
In principle, the keyboard or mouse of the operating terminal can operate the program Calipso
ProVi. All essential commands can be carried out with the help of the function keys.
In this manual, all screens (masks) and dialog boxes or forms of the operating terminal software
Calipso ProVi are characterized by “quotation marks”.

Dispensing parameters
To reach an optimum dispensing accuracy and time for each component (raw material) at the
dispensing center it is necessary to adjust some parameters first:
Opening time
Opening time of the dispensing valve during fine dispensing or interval dispensing. The dispensed
amount is smaller than the tolerance band / range.
Pause time
Time between two opening times during fine dispensing mode.
In the screen “Parameter 1” for all raw materials (components) and each scale the pump
revolutions and the valve openings for the three dispensing modes coarse, medium and fine are
to be set. During active dispensing of each dispensing mode, the pump revolutions and valve
openings can be modified until an optimum raw material jet is achieved. The values set can be saved
with F4 Save.
After defining the absolute tolerance for the raw material in the screen F7 “Parameters 2” an
automatic procedure to be started with F5 Start looks for the best setting values of the leadweight
coarse, the leadweight medium, the leadweight fine, the opening time, the pause time and the
stabilizing time / settling time. These parameters can be changed manually and saved with F4 Save.
The parameterizing procedure has to be done for all raw materials (components) with all scales.
To simplify the process data of raw materials with similar dispensing properties (viscosity, specific
gravity, flow behavior) can be copied with F2 Copy and so transferred (pasted) with F3 Paste to
the next raw material.

Basic screen “Center 1”, F9 Dispensing order “Order dispensing” (formulation dispensing)
Each order dispensing is allocated to an order. For dispensing the operator can choose the necessary
items from the list boxes Order, Formulation, Batch container and by input of the target weight
(always to be confirmed by the Enter key).
F9_dispensing_F2_order.jpg
F4 Start dispensing
dispenses a selected formulation or raw material.
Dispensing of a formulation:
Move the cursor by the help of the Tab key to the input field Order.
Move the cursor by the help of the Tab key to the input field Order.
Switch via the Tab key to the input field Formulation and
Switch via the Tab key to the Raw material input field.

F2 Stop
stops the dispensing procedure, closes the dispensing valve and opens the screen
“Dispensing with interruption”.
This screen is active during dispensing. The actual net weight value shown is rising due to the raw
material inflow. In the status line, the single steps of the dispensing procedure are shown.
F9_dispensing_F4_start_dispensing_dispensing_running.jpg
F2 Cancel
closes the dispensing valve and opens the screen “Dispensing with interruption”.
System errors and interruption of the raw material flow will automatically stop the
dispensing procedure.
Raw materials not stored in a system container are not known by the program and must be manually
added. Working off a formulation, the program stops at that moment the raw material must be
added by hand and opens the screen “Dispensing with manual component”. Now the necessary
amount of raw material can be poured into the batch container on scale.
A raw material can be dispensed by hand positive, this means that the raw material is poured direct
or preweighted into the batch container on scale.
A negative weighing procedure is as follows, the batch container is taken from the scale and the
container with the raw material is put on. Then the necessary quantity (scale reading) is taken from
the raw material container, the batch container is set back on scale and the taken raw material is
poured in.
F9_dispensing_F4_single_manual_component.jpg
F2 Stop
closes the dispensing valve and opens the screen “Dispensing with interruption”.
System errors and interruption of the raw material flow will automatically stop the
dispensing procedure.
F6 Change scale
For a more accurate weighing of a raw material to be added manually, the smaller
scale (if existent) is activated. Before changing, the scale both of the scales must be
cleared.
After the weighing out of the raw material to be added manually, the scale must be
changed again to proceed the dispensing of the formulation on the bigger scale.
Initiated by the operator or at certain system errors the “Dispensing with interruption” screen is
shown.
