Preface
Using This Manual This manual shows you how to use the Barrel Temperature Control
Module (cat. no. 1746-BTM) in an Allen-Bradley SLC system for barrel
temperature control and other injection molding or extrusion related
temperature control applications. The manual explains how to install,
program, calibrate, and troubleshoot the BTM module.
Audience
You must be able to program and operate an Allen-Bradley SLC
programmable controller to make efficient use of this module. In
particular, you must know how to configure M0 and M1 files. For
more information, see the appropriate SLC programming manual
before you generate a program for this module.
System Compatibility
System compatibility involves data table use as well as compatibility
with a local I/O chassis and SLC processor.
Data Table
Communication between the module and processor is bi-directional.
The processor transfers output data through the output image table to
the BTM module and transfers input data from the BTM module
through the input image table. The BTM module also requires M files
for configuration and calibration values.
I/O Chassis
You can use this module with 1746-A4, -A7, -A10, -or -A13 chassis,
provided there is an SLC controller in the chassis (local system). You
can place the BTM module in any I/O slot except for the first slot
which is reserved for the processor.
ATTENTION
!
Use the 1746-BTM module in a local I/O chassis only
for barrel temperature control of injection molding
applications or extruders. Any other applications are
not supported.
