Use This Preface

Use this preface to familiarize yourself with this manual so you can use it

effectively. This manual shows you how to apply the QDC module to your

molding machine in the minimum length of time.

Since this manual is task oriented, we recommend that you perform these

tasks in the following order:

Perform this task: As discussed in this

chapter:

Browse through the entire manual to become familiar with its

contents.

All chapters

Overview the inject process. This presents an overview on

how the QDC module controls the inject phase of your injection

molding system.

Chapter 1

Install the QDC module. This includes such tasks as wiring

and setting jumpers.

Chapter 2

Configure the QDC module mode to match your specific

application, and to communicate with inputs and outputs.

Chapter 3

Overview of remaining configuration procedures that you will

perform throughout the remainder of this manual.

Chapter 4

Jog the ram (screw). This task requires jog setpoints to be

configured along with jog pressure alarm setpoints.

Chapter 5

Set up communications between your PLC5 processor and

the QDC module. Select command and status bits that you will

use when writing your ladder logic.

Chapter 6

Load your initial configuration values to the QDC module. This

task requires you to determine and enter values into

configuration blocks in preparation for chapter 9.

Chapter 7

Load your initial machine profile setpoints to the QDC module.

This is performed in preparation for chapter 9.

Chapter 8

Span your machine's valves for inject mode. This is done

using setoutput and openloop control.

In order to apply the QDC module to a molding machine, we assume that

you are an:

experienced programmer with Allen-Bradley PLC-5 processors

hydraulics designer or technician

We use these abbreviations:

The next table presents other terms we commonly use in this manual:

Term: Definition:

Selected Valve In multivalve systems, depending on the configured profile, the QDC

module controls one valve and presets the setting of the remaining

valves to produce moldingmachine profiles. We call the valve being

controlled by the QDC module's algorithms the selected valve.

Unselected Valves In multivalve systems, depending on the configured profile, the QDC

module controls one valve and presets the remaining valves to

produce moldingmachine profiles. We call the valves that are preset

with an open loop percentage setpoint the unselected valves.

Profile A group of mold/part setpoints which define a given machine operation

to the QDC module.

Command Blocks

Data blocks downloaded from the PLC5 data table to the QDC

module to make configuration changes or to initiate machine actions.

Status Blocks Data blocks used by the QDC module to relay information to the

PLC5 processor about the QDC module's current operating status.

Profile Block Command block containing mold/part setpoints.

Configuration Block Command block containing machine setpoints.

Direct Acting Valve An analog control valve that delivers increasing velocity or pressure

with increasing signal input.

Reverse Acting Valve An analog control valve that delivers increasing velocity or pressure

with decreasing signal input.

Command Blocks

Command blocks provide the parameters that control machine operation.

They are transferred from the PLC processor to the QDC module by means

of block transfer write (BTW) instructions in software ladder logic. Their

abbreviations are:

Acronym: Description:

MCC Module Configuration Block

JGC Jog Configuration Block

INC Injection Configuration Block

IPC Injection Profile Block

PKC Pack Configuration Block

HDC Hold Configuration Block

HPC Pack/Hold Profile Block

PRC Predecompression Configuration Block

PLC Plastication Configuration Block

PPC Plastication Profile Block

PSC Postdecompression Configuration Block

DYC Dynamic Command Block

RLC Inject ERCValues Command Block

Status Blocks

Status blocks report current status of molding-machine operation. They

are returned from the QDC module to the PLC processor by means of

block transfer read (BTR) instructions in software ladder logic. Their

abbreviations are:

Acronym: Description:

SYS System Status Block

IPS Injection Profile Status Block

HPS Pack/Hold Profile Status Block

PPS Plastication Profile Status Block

RLS Inject ERCValues Status Block

Preface

P-4

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)

The following table lists documentation necessary for the successful

application of the QDC module:
