Installation Instructions Mold Pressure Module (catalog number 1746-MPM) Before you begin Use this document as a guide to installing and powering-up your Mold Pressure Module. We assume that you are already familiar with the SLC 500™ family of Small Logic Controllers and associated I/O modules.
Mold Pressure Module Recommendation for using associated software We recommend the following software to use this module effectively: • To display molding parameters processed by the module, your personal opuer us e euppe n soare ro ! enolo"es# $n% ra&erse y# ’$ • . For instructions on using the software, refer to DARTWin Software Installation and Use manual.
Mold Pressure Module 3 1. What the module does The module processes and extracts cyclic injection molding data for display on your PC, and responds to alarms that you set to monitor critical molding parameters.
Mold Pressure Module 2. Wire the module ATTENTION: Disconnect all power to the SLC system before wiring.
Mold Pressure Module 5 3. Module I/O Inputs The module has two independent channels that you configure to process signals from machine sensors (default) or from the SLC output image table across the backplane.
Mold Pressure Module Commands and status via the I/O image table The module uses I/O image word 0 for bit-level commands from the SLC processor and returns bit-level status to the SLC processor. You will use these command and status bits in your ladder logic. Addresses: Commands = O:e.0/xx, Status = I:e.
Mold Pressure Module 7 Pressure values transferred from the SLC data table to the module must be integer numbers in units of PSI. If using the Pro-Set 200 Injection Control System, the ladder logic provides pressure values in the correct format. 4. Configure the module with jumper plugs Each channel is independently configurable. Jumper-plug configurations selected here must match G-file bit selections done next in section 5.
Mold Pressure Module Select the calibration resistor with jumper plugs Select the module’s internal calibration resistor or external resistor located in the sensor or separately wired to the module’s terminal block. Channel 1 Jumper JP3 Cal Res ** Internal 200K default position ** Channel 2 Jumper JP4 Cal Res ** ** ** ** External Jumper Locations Module JP3 JP4 5.

Mold Pressure Module 11 6. Set sensor inputs to zero If using a sensor input, zero the channel to cancel any pre-load or offset voltage in the sensor. For mold pressure, zero the channel every machine cycle. The method to zero the channel depends on the type of sensor.
Mold Pressure Module 2. Observe the displayed pressure value. With DARTWin software running on your PC, observe the displayed peak pressure. It should be proportional to the bridge imbalance. 8.

Mold Pressure Module 11. Listing of M0/M1 file words You load M0/M1 file data into the module from your PC equipped with DARTwin software. M0 and M1 files contain: • module configuration data, loaded by DARTWin software (words 0-48) • summary data processed by the module (words 49-106) Summary data (in units of A/D counts x 1/100 sec.) is stored in two frames: frame 1 = words 49-75 frame 2 = words 76-106 Important: See summary data notes on page 18.
