Abstract
A method includes receiving, via a processor, a unit configuration for a fluid mixing and dispensing system, where the unit configuration includes one or more fluid hardware components. The method also includes determining one or more software modules corresponding to the one or more fluid hardware components and configuring a modular plural component platform by loading the one or more software modules corresponding to the one or more fluid hardware components.
Claims17
A method, comprising:
- receiving, via a processor, a unit configuration for a fluid mixing and dispensing system, wherein the unit configuration comprises one or more fluid hardware components, wherein the fluid hardware components are configured to provide a coating;
- determining one or more software modules corresponding to the one or more fluid hardware components, wherein the software modules include a proportional-integral-derivative controller and a motor controller;
- and
- configuring a modular plural component platform by loading the one or more software modules corresponding to the one or more fluid hardware components, wherein the modular plural component platform comprises channels that reconfigure automatically based on connection to the fluid hardware components, wherein the one or more software modules comprise a flow meter module, a user interface module, or a combination thereof, and wherein the coating is a sprayed paint.
A plural component fluid delivery system, comprising:
- a user interface;
- one or more fluid hardware components, wherein the fluid hardware components are configured to provide a coating;
- and
- a modular plural component platform comprising a controller and a hardware abstraction layer, wherein the controller comprises a processor and a memory, and wherein the controller is configured to:
- receive a unit configuration comprising the one or more fluid hardware components;
- determine one or more software modules, wherein the software modules include a proportional-integral-derivative controller and a motor controller, corresponding to the one or more fluid hardware components;
- and
- configure the modular plural component platform by loading the one or more software modules corresponding to the one or more fluid hardware components, wherein the modular plural component platform comprises channels that reconfigure automatically based on connection to the fluid hardware components, wherein the one or more software modules comprises a flow meter module, a user interface module, or a combination thereof, and wherein the coating is a sprayed paint.
One or more tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media comprising instructions configured to cause a processor to:
- receive a unit configuration for a plural component fluid delivery system, wherein the unit configuration comprises the one or more fluid hardware components, wherein the fluid hardware components are configured to provide a coating;
- determine one or more software modules, wherein the software modules include a proportional-integral-derivative controller and a motor controller, corresponding to the unit configuration;
- and
- configure the plural component fluid delivery system by loading the one or more software modules corresponding to the unit configuration, wherein the plural component fluid delivery system comprises channels that reconfigure automatically based on connection to the fluid hardware components, wherein the one or more software modules comprises a flow meter module, a user interface module, or a combination thereof, and wherein the coating is a sprayed paint.
