CPS Driver architecture
CPS Driver is made up of an user interface and a DspProxy Windows service that is in charge of
communicating with the machine. The communication protocol via serial line changes according to the type
of dispenser used.

Figura 1: CPS Driver architecture

The Proxy service

DspProxy is a Windows service in charge of communicating with the machine via serial line, using a Client-
Server architecture with an XMLRPC protocol.

How to check if the service is started

DspProxy is started when CPS Driver is launched and is stopped when the program is closed. No intervention
is required to start or stop the service.
To check if the service is started, open the Services page from Start, Control Panel, Administrative
Tools, Services. The name of the service is CPS Win32 dspProxyService.

NOTE: upon notice by the technical support, it may be necessary not to start the service at the
following computer restart. See parameter Options, Network tab, Start Proxy service
automatically.

The purge process dispenses a preset amount of colorant, according to different modes:

Parallel Parallel: it dispenses the set amount of colorant from all dispensing circuits, in groups of
circuits at a time, based on the dispenser model.

NOTE: parallel nozzle purge is automatically started by the machine at regular time
intervals. Every time the dispenser is turned on, a parallel purge is requested.

Sequential It dispenses a preset amount of colorant from each dispensing circuit, one after the other.

Hint: use it to check correct operation of all elements making up the single
dispensing circuits (e.g.: pumps, electrovalves, and so on...).

Introduction to error messages
In CPS Driver there are four different ways to check the operation of the dispenser, program and dispensing
cycle:

l Software error messages

l Hardware error messages
l Log files
l Trace files

Hardware error messages

To open the Hardware errors window: Dispenser, Open errors window

You can display at any time possible hardware errors stored in the CPU buffer.

NOTE: the window can stay open during dispenser operation.

The code and the description of mechanical or electronical errors detected are displayed. Error acquisition from
the CPU, where they are recorded, takes place at one-second intervals. The list is therefore updated every
second.

NOTE: the error messages will continue to appear until the breakdowns are repaired or the error
situations eliminated.

InstallationManual - 22
 CPS Driver - Error messages

NOTE: if the messages refer to a machine component not involved in dispensing (e.g.: the valve of
circuit not used) continue using the program and the machine.

Possible actions:

l To empty the error buffer of the CPU, click on Clear.

l To close the window click on Hide.

Log files
In the file FLink.log there are as many strings as the number of dispensing operations executed. In the
configuration stage, it is possible to define some parameters, among which the position of the file in the hard-
disk.
Default path of the file: C:\wuser\log\cpsdriver\flink.log
To change the parameters, see the window Options, Network, Operation control files.

Trace files
In case of unclear problems or upon instructions of the technical service people, it is possible to activate the
application LogTracer. This program detects and records all events that took place during CPS Driver
operation.
The log files must be sent to the technical service who will analyze the events recorded.

NOTE: all events recorded are appended until the maximum capacity allowed is reached; older events
are then overwritten.
