Overview of the Remaining
Configuration Procedures
Chapter 3
4-3
Configuration procedures detailed over the next several chapters are
outlined below. The procedures are sequential in nature: configuration
information determined in initial chapters is needed in later chapters.
Step: Procedure: Enter this Information: Refer to:
1 Jog Your Machine Machine jog pressure and flow setpoints are
entered into the Jog Configuration (JGC) block.
You actually jog your clamp and ejector with
commands in the Dynamic Command Block (DYC)
to further refine your jog configuration.
Jog pressure alarm setpoints are configured.
Chapter 5
2 Write a PLC Program to
Coordinate Phases
The QDC module offers many machine operation
options to meet nearly any injection molding
machine's requirements.
PLC ladder logic is required to cycle the machine in
the desired manner.
Chapter 6
3 Enter Values in Clamp and
Eject Configuration Blocks
Valves/Outputs responsible for controlling pressure
or flow, Valve spanning values, Ramp rates.
Chapter 7
(Refined in Chapters
9 & 10)
4 Enter Initial Clamp and Eject
Profile Values
Initial machine operation setpoints (pressure,
velocity, position, time setpoints, other partĆspecific
information)
Chapter 8
(Procedurally tuned
in Chapters 9 & 10)
5 Span your Machine's Valves Configuration parameters necessary to accurately
span your clamp and eject valves are modified.
Profile Pressure Alarms are set.
Chapter 9
6 Tune Your Machine Topics to consider when machine and part tuning
are discussed.
