Abstract

The invention is directed to a foam dispensing system, and more particularly to an automated monitoring and diagnostic system for use with foam dispensng systems that permits remote control of the dispensing foam. A control console (Figure 4) is provided that interconnected, preferrably by way of a high speed data link, with foam dispenser (70), the A and B foam component pumps (80a 80b), a power source (110) and controller, and a gateway.
