Jog Your Machine
This chapter describes how to:
configure jog block values necessary to jog the ram (screw) and clamp
test jog values and make changes, if necessary
configure values which indirectly affect screw-rotate and ejector jogs
Jogging your machine is similar to operating it in set-output:
You apply percentage values to your QDC module’s outputs to obtain the
desired motion. The jog configuration block (JGC) lets you set up jog
parameters to control QDC module outputs to:
jog the ram (screw) forward and backward
jog the clamp open and closed
Although the QDC module (in inject and clamp mode) may not directly
control your machine’s screw-rotate or ejector jogs, your hydraulics may
require that valves connected to your QDC module outputs go to a certain
position to assure proper screw-rotate and ejector jog functions. The QDC
jog configuration block allows you to set up these indirect jog values.
The following table lists the command block and corresponding
worksheets for recording initial values to configure the QDC module for
jogging the ram (screw) and clamp.
