Configuration procedures detailed in 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 Information that you enter: Refer to:
1 Jog Your Machine Machine jog pressure and flow setpoints are
entered into the Jog Configuration block (JGC).
You jog your ram (screw) with commands in the
Dynamic Command block (DYC) to further refine
your jog configuration.
Jogpressure and screwRPM alarm setpoints that
you determine.
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.
You must write PLC ladder logic to cycle the
machine in the desired manner.

3 Enter Initial
Configuration Values
Output values to valves controlling pressure or flow,
ramp rates, and valve span.
Chapter 7
(Used in
Chapters 9 & 10)
4 Enter Initial Profile Values Initial machine operation setpoints (pressure,
velocity, position, time, and other partspecific
information)
Chapter 8
(Used in
Chapters 9 & 10)
5 Span Your Valves Configuration parameters necessary to accurately
span your hydraulic valves in open loop. You also
set profile pressure alarms.
