Word and Bit Numbering

The QDC module stores data in command and status blocks. Each word location in a command or status block is identified by an alphanumeric code containing the block acronym and word number. For example, word 09 of the Module Configuration Command Block (MCC) is identified as MCC09.

Identify bits in a word location by adding bit numbering to the abbreviated word location. For example:

Specific: MCC09-B15 General: MCCxx-Byy

where:

MCC = Module Configuration Command Block xx=word number (01-64) B = bit identifier yy = bit number (00-15)

This chapter presents an overview of the 1771-QDC Plastic Molding Module’s Clamp and Eject Mode. A summary of clamp and eject features is followed by sample applications of the QDC Module in Clamp and Eject Mode.

Important: This manual assumes you have already read your Plastic Molding Module Application Guide (pub. no. 1771-4.10) and have chosen Clamp and Eject as your QDC module’s mode of operation.

When you select the Clamp and Eject mode of operation, you can use the following phases:

Table 1.A Glossary

You can program a singlestep clampclose profile and not use a second or third profile. Or, you can program up to three clampclose profiles that let you do the following at up to three different points in the clampclose phase:

• pick up a third mold plate

• set cores

• pick up or drop out pumps to change clamp speed or pressure

To guard against damaging the mold when the two mold surfaces make contact and to detect part obstructions, you close the mold slowly with low pressure in closedloop or openloop control. Low Pressure Close can only be controlled through a pressure vs. position profile.

You may select from these control modes:

velocity vs. position pressure vs. position

Use Clamp Close to move the platen from the fully open position (L) to some position X at a relatively high velocity or pressure. X is a position relatively close to the stationary platen yet far enough away to allow deceleration into Low Pressure Close. This prevents the platens from coming together at a high velocity.

Important: You may use as many or as few profiles and/or segments within profiles as needed for your molding application. If using a single close fast motion, use the first segment of the 1st close profile. The Low Pressure Close Profile must follow.

After completing the last segment in each profile, the QDC module either switches immediately to the next programmed segment of the next desired profile or waits for a command from your PLC program to continue.

After completing the last configured close profile, the QDC module either switches immediately to the first programmed segment of Low Pressure Close, or waits for a command from your PLC program to continue.

Low Pressure Close

Use the Low Pressure Close Profile to decelerate closing motion to guard against damaging the mold halves and detect for part obstructions. The pressure setpoint that you select to control low pressure close should prohibit the mold from fully closing if there is an obstruction. Up to two low pressure close profile segments may be used.

You will use the pressure vs. position control mode for low pressure close.

Important: If you need only one Low Pressure Close segment, configure the 1st segment of the Low Pressure Close Profile.

The QDC notifies your PLC program when this profile is complete and automatically uses end-of low pressure close set-output values to build tonnage (on a hydraulic machine) or lockup your toggle (on a toggle machine).

You may select from these control modes:

velocity vs. position pressure vs. position

Use Clamp Open to move the platen from the fully closed position (0) to some position Y at a relatively high velocity or pressure. Y is a position relatively close to your fully open position (L), yet far enough away to allow deceleration into Open Slow. This is to increase positioning accuracy at the full open position (L).

to decide when to begin the next profile.

Each of these three profiles is subdivided into three position segments (shown above each profile in Figure 1.6). You can change clamp velocity or pressure up to three times in each profile, or up to nine times for the entire clamp open phase.

Set Module Jumpers

Before installing the QDC module, you must use jumper plugs to configure the I/O ranges that you selected with Worksheet 2-A.

Access and Position the Jumpers

Access the jumpers and set them as follows:

ATTENTION: To avoid damage to internal circuits, observe handling precautions and rid yourself of any electrostatic charge. Also, this should be done on an anti-static work station.

1. Remove the label-side cover plate by removing the four screws.

2. Remove the circuit board from the module housing by removing the

two screws located center-front at the swingarm catch.

3. Carefully turn over the circuit board so it is oriented as in figure 2.1.

Handle it by the edges to avoid touching conductors or components.

4. Locate the jumpers (Figure 2.1).

5. Set the jumper plugs as shown in Table 2.A using a small needle-nose

pliers (Figure 2.1).

6. After setting the jumper plugs, re-assemble the module.

ATTENTION: If an output is unconnected, set the jumper (E11, E12, E15, and/or E16) that corresponds to that output to 0

- 10V dc (bottom position). Setting the jumpers for –10 to +10V dc and later configuring the output as “unconnected” may cause the QDC module to output –10V dc on that channel. This occurs when the system is stopped or when a system reset occurs and all outputs are forced to 0% (i.e. 0% output equals –10V dc).

Key Your I/O Chassis

Use the plastic keying bands, shipped with each I/O chassis, for keying I/O slots to accept only one type of module. This is done to prevent the inadvertent installation of the wrong module into the wrong slot.

The QDC module is slotted in two places on the rear edge of the circuit board. The position of the keying bands on the backplane connector must correspond to these slots to allow insertion of the module.

Place keying bands between the following terminal numbers labeled on the backplane connector of your I/O chassis (see Figure 2.2):

between 20 and 22 between 26 and 28

Install Your QDC Module

To install your QDC module in an I/O chassis, complete the following:

1. First, turn off power to the I/O chassis.

ATTENTION: Remove power from the 1771 I/O chassis

backplane and wiring arm before removing or installing a QDC module.

Failure to remove power from the backplane could cause injury or equipment damage due to possible unexpected operation.

Failure to remove power from the backplane or wiring arm could cause module damage, degradation of performance, or injury.

2. Place the module in the plastic guides on the top and bottom of the

slot that slides the module into position.

Important: Be aware that Pro-Set 600 software expects your Clamp and Eject QDC module to be placed in slot 1 of your I/O rack. If you choose to install your QDC module in some other slot, some modifications to your PLC application program may be necessary (refer to your Pro-Set 600 documentation for details).

3. Do not force the module into its backplane connector. Apply firm,

even pressure on the module to seat it properly.

4. Snap the chassis latch over the top of the module to secure it.

5. Connect the wiring arm to the module.

Plan for ESTOPs and Machine Interlocks

You must consider the installation of Emergency Stop switches and machine interlocks when performing the following system tasks:

designing your system

assembling mechanical/hydraulic components

wiring system components

developing system ladder logic

ATTENTION: The Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery (NFPA 79-1987) requires an emergency stop that, when actuated, shall de-energize all electrical power circuits which provide electrical energy to sustain machine motion. Maintained contact “Emergency Stop” push buttons are recommended.

ATTENTION: The American National Standard for Plastics Machinery -- Horizontal Injection Molding Machines -- for Construction, Care, and Use (ANSI B151.1-1984) requires hydraulic, mechanical, and electrical interlocks to prevent inadvertent clamp closing with a safety gate in an open position.

In addition, we strongly recommend that the electrical interlocks consist of redundant devices and that the control circuit be so arranged that malfunction or improper sequencing of either redundant device prevents further operation of the machine.

ATTENTION: NEMA Standards Publication ICS1.1, Safety guidelines for the Application, Installation, and Maintenance of Solid State Control recommends that the emergency stop and safety gate electrical interlocks should directly control their appropriate functions through an electromechanical device independent of the solid state logic.

The next page shows an illustration of a typical grounded PLC power distribution circuit. For ungrounded systems or for more information on grounding and wiring guidelines, refer to Allen-Bradley Programmable Controller Wiring and Grounding Guidelines (pub. no. 1770-4.1) .

To minimize EMI generation, you should connect a suppression network: for 120V AC, use Allen-Bradley cat. no. 700-N24; for 220/240V AC, use cat. no. 599-KA04.

To minimize EMI generation, you should connect a suppression network: for 120V AC, use Allen-Bradley cat. no. 599-K04; for 220/240V AC, use cat. no. 599-KA04.

For a power supply with a groundable chassis, this represents connection to the chassis only. For a power supply without a groundable chassis, this represents connection to both the chassis and the GND terminal.

In many applications, a second transformer provides power to the input circuits and power supplies for isolation from the

output circuits.

Reference the current NEC code and ANSI B151.1 for additional wiring guidelines.

1. Switch the PLC-5 processor to program mode.

2. Display your PLC-5 data table.

3. Locate the data file for storing the MCC block. PLC-5 data table

word addresses are listed on the worksheets.

4. Enter the value for each word and bit.

When you enter bit selections in words prefixed with file identifier B (example: B34), the PLC-5 processor automatically switches the radix to binary format so you can conveniently enter binary data.

Download MCC Values to the QDC Module

To download the MCC block to the QDC module, switch the PLC-5 processor from program to run mode. Pro-Set 600 software downloads the MCC block to the QDC module for you.

Important: You can verify that the MCC block was successfully downloaded or that you made a data entry (programming) error by evaluating the following words that Pro-Set 600 software continuously reports to the PLC-5 processor.

If: And: Then:

SYS01B08 = 1 (B34/8)

SYS19B00 = 1 (B34/288)

N/A QDC module accepted a valid MCC.

SYS61 = 1 (ID code for MCC block stored in N40:213)

You made a programming error in MCC. Read the error code in SYS62 (N40:214) , and look up the error in Section 2 of QDC Module Reference Manual, publication 17716.5.88.

Chapter 3

Configure the QDC Module's Inputs and Outputs

Important: Pro-Set 600 software downloads all command blocks when your PLC-5 processor enters run mode after a valid MCC block is accepted. All programming errors reported in SYS62 (N40:214) are referenced to the MCC block until SYS01-B08 = 1.

Correct Any Dataentry (Programming) Errors in MCC

Upon receipt of the MCC block, the QDC module tests data for data-entry errors, such as a value out of range. When it detects an error, the QDC module halts operation until you correct the error. For a complete list of error codes to help you correct a programming error, refer to Section 2 of the Plastic Molding Module Reference Manual, publication 1771-6.5.88.

You must correct errors by entering the changed configuration values into your PLC-5 data table and downloading the new values to the QDC module as outlined above. Pro-Set 600 software continues to attempt to download the MCC block to the QDC module until an MCC block is accepted and the QDC module returns SYS01-B08 = 1.

Important: The QDC module must receive a valid MCC block before you can download additional blocks.

Chapter 3

Configure the QDC Module's Inputs and Outputs

Use the Setoutput Operation to Move the Clamp and Ejector

To finish configuring the QDC module, you actuate the clamp and ejector with the QDC module’s set-output operation. Set-output applies percentage output values to your valves to move your clamp or ejector cylinder in a controllable fashion. You apply a percentage output signal to each module output so you can move each actuator over its intended range. Sensor spanning values can then be refined per the actual values monitored by the QDC module.

ATTENTION: Do not rely on pressure valves connected to the QDC module for pressure relief. Use them only for pressure control below the setting of the system pressure-relief valve.

ATTENTION: A value of zero in set-output words N41:121 N41:124 does not necessarily correspond to zero pressure or flow. If you have configured jumper E11, E12, E15, and/or E16 for bi-directional valve operation, an output of 0% gives –10vdc, 50% gives 0vdc (see chart). Amplifier electronics or spool-null offsets may also allow pressure or flow at zero volts signal input. Consult your valve and amplifier specifications for more details.

Configure the QDC Module's Inputs and Outputs

ATTENTION: As soon as you enable set-output operation, the QDC module’s outputs drive the connected valves according to the values you entered into DYC09 - DYC12 (Pro-Set 600 words N41:121 - N41:124). Be sure these values RESULT IN NO MOVEMENT until you adjust them one-at-a-time with your programming terminal in the procedures that follow.

Actuating the Clamp and Ejector with Setoutput Operation

1. Enter values that result in no motion in these DYC words:

2. Enable set-output operation by entering a 1 in DYC01-B08 (Pro-Set

600 address B35/392). The QDC module sets outputs 1 - 4 to percentage values that you entered in DYC09 - DYC12 respectively.

3. With your programming terminal, slowly increase the %-output value

of one output as you observe the corresponding movement.

Important: The DYC is constantly transferred to the QDC module by Pro-Set 600 software, so changes you make to %-output values are immediately implemented.

Determine Clamp Position Sensor Values

Important: The following procedure and subsequent set-up information must be utilized for every different mold used on a hydraulic machine. On a toggle clamp (with die height adjust), it must be completed only once.

ATTENTION: Incorrect values entered in DYC09 through DYC12 may result in rapid clamp motion and potential damage to your mold and cylinder seals. We strongly recommend utilizing a “dummy” mold on hydraulic machines and no mold on toggle machines.

To complete the configuration for your clamp position sensor, do the following:

Important: If your position sensor has zero and span potentiometers to set the zero reference and linear resolution, do so during this procedure.

1. Move the clamp forward until it reaches its mechanical close stop.

This is the zero position.

2. Remove clamp pressure and/or flow to stop clamp movement.

3. Record this position value (usually 0000) on line 9 of Worksheet 3-E

for MCC23.

4. With your programming terminal, read the signal level returned in

SYS35 (Pro-Set 600 address N41:187) from your position sensor. You may wish to zero your position sensor at this time.

5. Record this value on line 11 of Worksheet 3-E for MCC25 (should be

at minimum signal if you zeroed your position sensor in step 4).

6. Move the clamp backward to the mechanical open stop.

7. Remove clamp pressure and/or flow to stop clamp movement.

8. Measure the distance travelled by the clamp.

ATTENTION: Make sure your clamp is open sufficiently to allow full ejector travel before proceeding.

To complete the configuration for your ejector position sensor, do the following:

Important: If your position sensor has zero and span potentiometers to set the zero reference and linear resolution, do so during this procedure.

1. Move the ejector backward to the mechanical retract stop. This is the

zero position.

2. Remove ejector pressure and/or flow to stop ejector movement.

3. Record this position value (usually 0000) on line 1 of Worksheet 3-E

Determine Values for the Clamp Pressure Sensor (if used)

To complete the configuration for your clamp pressure sensor, enter minimum and maximum pressures and corresponding signal levels from manufacturer’s specifications in MCC31 - MCC34. Most applications require no further spanning. If your application requires greater accuracy, follow the procedure below:

1. Release system pressure to obtain minimum pressure at the clamp.

2. Read the pressure gauge at the clamp.

3. Record this minimum pressure value (usually 0000) on line 13 of

Worksheet 3-E for MCC31.

4. With your programming terminal, read the signal level returned in

SYS36 (Pro-Set 600 address N41:188) from your pressure sensor. You may wish to zero your pressure sensor at this time.

5. Record this signal level on line 15 of Worksheet 3-E for MCC33

(should be at min signal if you zeroed your pressure sensor in step 4).

ATTENTION: Use extreme caution during the next steps because you stress the hydraulic system to its maximum rated pressure. Loose fittings or faulty components could fail, causing possible damage to equipment and/or injury to personnel.

6. Re-torque all hydraulic connections and joints before proceeding.

7. Boost system pressure to obtain maximum pressure at the clamp.

Max system pressure may be obtained by positioning the clamp at full open while keeping the clamp open valve in the maximum open position. This forces the cylinder to press against the mechanical limits of its travel and builds max system pressure. Also, if you wish, you may move the clamp to its full forward (mold close) position, and allow full system pressure to force the mold closed.

3-14

8. Read the pressure gauge at the clamp (maximum system pressure

should be read at full open or full close) while the clamp is mechanically bound from moving further.

9. Record this maximum pressure on line 14 of Worksheet 3-E for

MCC32.

11. Record this signal level on line 16 of Worksheet 3-E for MCC34.

12.Release pressure.

You may now download your adjusted values to the QDC module using the MCC download procedure presented earlier in this chapter.

Determine Values for the Ejector Pressure Sensor (if used)

ATTENTION: Make sure your clamp is sufficiently open to allow full travel of the ejectors without obstruction.

To complete the configuration for your ejector pressure sensor, enter minimum and maximum pressures and corresponding signal levels from manufacturer’s specifications in MCC45 - MCC48. If you require greater accuracy, follow this procedure:

1. Release system pressure to obtain minimum pressure at the ejector.

2. Read the pressure gauge at the ejector.

3. Record this minimum pressure value (usually 0000) on line 5 of

Worksheet 3-E for MCC45.

7. Boost system pressure to obtain maximum pressure at the ejector.

Max system pressure may be obtained by positioning the ejector at its fully advanced or retracted position while keeping the valve open that causes motion in that direction. This forces the cylinder to press against the mechanical limits of its travel and builds max system pressure.

8. Read the pressure gauge at the ejector (for maximum pressure reading

ejector must be fully forward while the ejector is mechanically bound from moving farther).

9. Record this maximum pressure on line 6 of Worksheet 3-E for

MCC46.

10.With your programming terminal, read the signal level returned in

Software Travel Limits to guard against damaging the mold assembly or seals

Pressure Alarm Time Delay to warn of excessive pressure without nuisance alarms

Digital Filter to compensate for noise on position inputs

During normal machine operation and whenever your cylinder travels outside the safe zone (outside the specified software travel limits, SWTL), the QDC module:

sets an alarm status bit forces its outputs to zero ignores all profile commands (allowing only set-output and jogs) until

you jog the cylinder back through the deadband into the safe zone at either end

The deadband guards against sensor noise flickering the SWTL alarms and requires that the operator jog the cylinder a set distance away from the software overtravel. We recommend a value of 00.10 inch as a starting deadband. Your sensor may require a greater deadband.

ATTENTION: The QDC module ignores SWTL alarms when jogging or when performing a set-output operation.

Configure the QDC Module's Inputs and Outputs

Set Up Maximum Pressure Alarms and Time Delays

The QDC module continuously monitors clamp and ejector pressure inputs. When it detects that the pressure equals or exceeds a preset pressure alarm setpoint, the QDC module sets an alarm bit. A setpoint of zero disables the associated alarm.

To guard against nuisance alarms caused by noise spikes or pressure transients, you can set a time-delay so the QDC module must monitor continuous excessive pressure for an amount of time before setting the high pressure alarm. A setpoint of zero disables this delay.

Configure the QDC module for pressure alarms as follows:

1. Determine these values for clamp and/or ejector pressure alarms:

pressure-alarm setpoint time-delay setpoint

2. Record non-zero setpoints on Worksheet 3-G for the pressure alarms

Configure a Digital Filter for Position Inputs from Clamp and Ejector

You can enable an optional digital filter on position inputs. This filter is used to reduce electrical noise from potentiometer-type position sensors or other external noise picked up by your input circuits.

To determine if you need a digital filter, move the clamp or ejector very slowly. With your programming terminal, look for erratic position numbers reported for clamp and/or ejector position by examining these words:

For this Input: In Word: Look at this ProSet 600 Address:

Clamp SYS27 N41:179

Ejector SYS25 N41:177

Configure the QDC Module for a Digital Input Filter as follows:

To determine the time constant (0 - 00.10 sec), start with a small value such as 00.01. A value of zero disables the filter.

To Filter this Input: In Word: Enter a Filter Time Constant in:

Clamp MCC30 N41:26

Ejector MCC44 N41:40

ATTENTION: Increasing the value of the time constant decreases the QDC module’s capability to respond quickly to travel limits and/or to accurately locate programmed positions. This could result in damaging the mold assembly with possible personal injury. We recommend keeping time filter entries under 00.10.

For example, with a clamp velocity of 20”/sec, a 00.01 time constant allows 0.20” of travel before the QDC module can react to a travel limit.

Important: If you have a noisy potentiometer-type position sensor and digital filtering slows the QDC module’s response time too much, consider replacing the sensor with a non-contact, linear-displacement type.

Overview of Remaining Configuration Procedures

Chapter

Objectives

Configuration Concepts

This chapter introduces you to the remaining procedures necessary to successfully configure your QDC module. You must follow the procedures in the given order. Please use this chapter as a guide.

The QDC module communicates with your PLC-5 processor through “Blocks”. Blocks are made up of several 16-bit words stored in the PLC-5 data table. These areas of the PLC data table are accessed by the QDC module through the 1771 backplane. There are two types of blocks:

Command Blocks - these blocks are downloaded from the PLC data

table to the QDC module to make configuration changes or initiate machine actions

Status Blocks - These blocks are used by the QDC module to relay

information to the PLC processor about the QDC module’s current operating status

The configuration process detailed over the next several chapters makes extensive use of command and status blocks. You will:

enter important operating data into all applicable command blocks

read machine operating data in status blocks to assist you in the

configuration procedures

Command Blocks

The QDC module is configured through a series of blocks known as command blocks. Command blocks are an area of the PLC data table containing machining commands, set-up, and operating information for the QDC module. On power-up, or when initiated by a user, command blocks are downloaded from the PLC data table to the QDC module.

Chapter 4

Overview of the Remaining Configuration Procedures

There are two basic types of command blocks. They are presented in the following table:

Configuration Blocks Information necessary to configure your

module to run a certain portion of a profile

Profile Blocks Actual process setpoints necessary to

produce a desired part.

Valve spanning information for the 1st clamp close profile

1st clamp close profile operating setpoints

Status Blocks

The QDC module returns critical operating status and values to the PLC data table through status blocks. Like configuration blocks, status blocks are areas of PLC data table. Status blocks, however, contain actual machine operation information rather than machine setpoints and action commands.

Type: Which Contain: Examples:

Status Blocks Information about machine operation and

QDC module operating status.

The molding machine is currently performing an ejection operation.

Special Command and Status Blocks

A few special command and status blocks are the Module Configuration Block, Dynamic Command Block, and the System Status Block.

Types: Description: Examples:

To simplify troubleshooting your data entry (programming) errors during initial configuration procedures, we recommend that you download the companion block after each subject block. Otherwise, the procedure to correct multiple errors becomes too complex.

7. Complete the procedure as follows:

a. If subject block has a required companion block, return to step 2

and repeat the procedure for the next block or companion block.

b. If the subject block is the companion block, download it.

Return to step 2 to download additional blocks if required.

8. The QDC module detected a programming error. Interpret the error

code returned by the QDC module in SYS62. The code identifies the first detected programming error in the subject block whose ID is reported in SYS61 (N40:213). Refer to Section 2 of the Plastic Molding Module Reference Manual (publication 1771-6.5.88) for how to interpret and correct the cause of programming errors.

9. Correct the error in the PLC-5 data table corresponding to the subject

block. Since you may have more than one programming error in the subject block, return to step 4 and repeat the download procedure until you have corrected all errors in this block. Then SYS62 = 0.

Chapter

Objectives

Jogging your machine is similar to operating it in set output; percent output values are applied to your four QDC module outputs in order to obtain the desired motion. The jog configuration block (JGC) allows you to set up jog parameters for your QDC outputs for close and open clamp jogging and advance and retract jogging of the ejector.

Although the QDC module may not be directly controlling your machine’s screw or injection cylinder jogs, your hydraulics may require valves connected to your Clamp and Ejector QDC outputs to go to a certain position to assure proper screw and inject cylinder jog functions. The QDC jog configuration block allows you to set up these indirect jog values.

This chapter describes how to:

configure all jog block values necessary to jog your clamp and ejector test these jog values and make changes if necessary configure values which may indirectly affect your machine’s screw and

inject cylinder jogs

Worksheet 5-A outlines all values necessary to successfully configure your QDC module for clamp and ejector jogs. Enter initial values to allow minimal actuator motion during jogs. Later in this chapter, we gradually increase these values until we reach the desired jog values.

At this time, also enter in jog high pressure setpoints in Worksheet 5-A. The QDC module sets an alarm any time clamp or ejector pressure equals or exceeds the respective value during clamp and ejector jogs. A zero entry inhibits alarm actuation.

Important: High clamp pressure and high ejector pressure alarms (set in chapter 3), are also active during jog functions.

ATTENTION: Up to 4 different valves may be connected to your QDC module for clamp and eject control. Although all 4 may not be directly involved with clamp and eject jogs, consider their indirect effects when setting jog set output values.

ATTENTION: A value of 0 entered in your data table does not necessarily correspond to zero pressure or flow. For an output configured + volts signal output (see the following graph). Amplifier electronics or spool offsets may also be designed such that zero volts signal input does not result in no flow or pressure.

Take time now to develop ladder logic (independent of Pro-Set 600 software) to jog the clamp and ejector with the QDC module. You need to monitor switches on your operator control panel, and set corresponding command bits.

We provide a programming example (Figure 5.1) for jog control for instructional purposes only. Your application-specific programming may vary significantly from this example.

Important: You may also need to develop ladder logic that changes the direction of clamp and ejector travel hydraulically when you command the QDC module to jog in reverse.

Jog Your Machine

Jog your clamp and ejector in both the advance and retract directions. Experiment with the values entered in the Jog Configuration block (JGC) until you obtain the desired jog operation.

The JGC must be downloaded to the QDC module each time a value in the command block is changed for the new value to take effect. Refer to the download procedure outlined in chapter 4.

If You Observe This Condition: Then Make This Adjustment:

Configure Jogs for the Screw and Injection Cylinder

Rough Jerky Acceleration/Deceleration (Hammering hydraulics)

Sluggish Acceleration/Deceleration 1) Boost jog pressure

1) Decrease jog pressure

2) Decrease jog setpoint

Although this QDC module may not be directly controlling your machine’s screw or injection cylinder jogs, your hydraulics may require valves connected to this QDC module’s outputs to go to a certain position to assure proper screw and injection cylinder jog functions. The QDC jog configuration block allows you to set up these indirect jog values.

1. Whenever the appropriate inject cylinder or screw jog bit is set in

dynamic control block word 1 (DYC01), the jog configuration block (JGC) values corresponding to the respective jog are applied to the QDC outputs.

2. In Worksheet 5-B, enter values which must be applied to the Clamp

and Eject QDC module in order to successfully execute injection cylinder and screw rotate jogs.

Important: Jog-specific high pressure alarms are not activated in a Clamp and Eject QDC module during screw rotate and inject cylinder jogs.

Logic Requirements

In this chapter, we provide you with tables of command and status bits that you use to write ladder logic to:

monitor input devices on your Ready Panel or operator station step your QDC module through machine cycles

We suggest how to access your logic requirements and how to use bit tables to write your machine’s sequential ladder logic based on those logic requirements. This ladder logic depends on your machine’s hydraulic configuration.

You must add your own ladder logic according to your machine’s sequencing requirements.

If you need to: Then you must add:

Execute clampopen and clampclose phases without interruption

Execute the ejector profile without interruption no additional ladder logic

Jog your machine ladder logic (see chapter 5)

Stop at the end of a profile ladder logic to start the next profile

Start a profile on command ladder logic

Stop and notify at the end of the ejector stroke ladder logic to continue the ejector profile

no additional ladder logic

Important: We present information about command and status bits in this chapter. For your convenience, a cross-reference between Pro-Set 600 software and QDC module bit addresses is listed in Table 6.I and Table 6.J at the end of this chapter. If you need a more thorough description of these bits, refer to section 3 of the Plastic Molding Module Reference Manual (pub. no. 1771-6.5.88).

Objectives

This chapter describes how to prepare the machine to run clamp and ejector control profiles. Major topics include how to:

use configuration command block worksheets set your accel/decel ramp rates set pressure control limits set velocity control limits enter and downloading your worksheet values

This chapter helps you determine and enter values into the clamp and ejector configuration blocks. The configuration blocks provide the QDC module with information on how you want to run your clamp and ejectors.

Important: Do not start this chapter until you have:

spanned your sensors, and moved hydraulic cylinders (chapter 3) jogged the clamp and ejector (chapter 5)

Command and Status Blocks Used

The following table contains a list of command blocks you are to configure throughout the course of this chapter. You may reference these command blocks in Sections 1 and 3 of the Plastic Molding Module Reference Manual (pub. no. 1771-6.5.88). The following table also provides you with important information for getting ready to run profiles:

Use Configuration Command Block Worksheets

This chapter walks you through a configuration procedure that helps you fill out all of the following configuration block worksheets. Worksheets for each of the command blocks are given followed by the information to fill them in later in this chapter.

Configure Clamp and Eject Blocks

Ten different blocks need to be configured before you are ready to enter profile setpoint values in chapter 8. Worksheets to configure each of these blocks are given later in this chapter. These blocks and worksheets are:

Clamp Close

1. First Clamp Close (FCC)

2. Second Clamp Close (SCC)

3. Third Clamp Close (TCC)

4. Low Pressure Close (LPC)

Clamp Open

1. First Clamp Open (FOC)

2. Second Clamp Open (SOC)

3. Third Clamp Open (TOC)

4. Clamp Open Slow (OSC)

Chapter 7

Load Initial Configuration Values

The QDC module incorporates close fast functionality with three separate close profiles (refer to chapter 1 of this manual for more information):

First Close (FCC) Second Close (SCC) Third Close (TCC)

By allowing up to three separate, segmented profiles, the QDC module increases your mold closing control flexibility. Also, the final clamp close profile, characterized by pressure control, is Low Pressure Close (LPC).

The QDC module incorporates Break-Away Open and Open Fast functionality through the use of three separate open profiles:

First Clamp Open (FOC) Second Clamp Open (SOC) Third Clamp Open (TOC)

The QDC module controls Open Slow utilizing the Clamp Open Slow (OSC) profile. Ejector Advance (EAC) and Ejector Retract (ERC) are also configured in this chapter.

Important:

The majority of the configuration parameters are similar from block to

block. For example, all phases need the “selected” valve identified for pressure control, and the set-output values for all “unselected” valves need to be identified. Because of this, worksheets for each configuration block are found at the beginning of the chapter.

At the beginning of each configuration section, please note the control

block and words which contain this configuration parameter. After each section is discussed, fill in values for the mentioned words in the appropriate worksheets that follow.

The valve spanning procedure in chapter 9 of this manual requires

preset values in many of the configuration block words. The worksheets on the following pages have many of the required initial values already filled in for you. Other words require that you enter values based on your machine’s specific hydraulic configuration.

corresponding worksheet at the listed configuration word address.

Important: Block identifier codes are already recorded for you.

Selected Velocity Control Valve

(FCC02,

The QDC module is capable of controlling clamp and ejector movement using a velocity versus position algorithm. Since up to four valves may be connected to your QDC module, you must inform the QDC module what valve you want it to control when utilizing this algorithm. Enter the appropriate values into your configuration worksheets depending on your valve configuration.

Selected Pressure Control Valve

(FCC02,

The QDC module can also control clamp and ejector movement using a pressure versus position algorithm (This is the only algorithm possible in the Low Pressure Close profile). Again, you must inform the QDC module what valve you want it to control when utilizing this algorithm. Enter the appropriate values into your configuration worksheets depending on your valve configuration.
