ABSTRACT:
A tool control for operating a tool in a mulitple station foam injection station including a central controller which is configured to use a first set of inquiry signals and a first set of control signals to monitor and control a standard tool, the tool control being configurable for interfacing with the central control and operating a nonstandard tool. The tool control includes at least one input for receiving a first set of inquiry signals and a first set of control signals from the central control, at least one input for receiving signals from the tool indicating current selected conditions of the tool, at least one output to the tool to actuate at least one selected component of the tool, at least one output for transmitting signals to the central control, and control logic for intercepting the first set of control signals from the central controller, generating a second set of control signals to activate at least one selected component of the tool, and transmitting response signals to the central control corresponding to the first set of inquiry signals, as required, to confirm the status of the standard preselected conditions monitored by the central control.
