1.5 LYNx 7-ChANNEL SEQUENCE INPUT MODULE ID7-D-SEQ

The ID7-D-SEQ is a DIN rail mountable Sequence Input Module that acts as an interface between machine operations and the GSC2™ system. With the sequence module, it is unnecessary to wire all of the machine signals. The GSC2™ software takes what is easily available from the machine and derives the rest. This is important when implementing a network or installing on a portable basis because in many instances the signals are not readily available.

The sequence module is designed to be mounted on standard 35mm DIN rail often found in machine panels. Once mounted, connectors al-low the unit to be interfaced with other Lynx DIN rail modules and the GSC2™ system. The digital signals are connected to the sequence module through the eight terminal connectors (see the figure and table to the left).

The signals themselves are connected to terminals 1-7 and the signal common for these are wired to terminal 8. These signals can be taken directly from the valve solenoids, or from the machine controller and can operate at 24VDC or 120-240VAC.

1.6 WIRING MAChINE SIGNALS

In order to do important computations which are relevant to the injection molding process, the GSC2™ monitors important events which occur during the machine cycle. GSC2™ helps synchro-nize signals from the hydraulic pressure sensors to the actions of the machine for display in the software. The table below details these signals in order of importance to the software. If none of these signals is available, contact INCOE® or RJG for alternatives.

1.7 LE-R-30

The LE-R-30 is a molding machine mountable lin-ear position/velocity sensor designed to be used with the GSC2™. The Stroke-Velocity Encoder can be used to monitor standard screw position and speed on most injection molding machines.

The stroke sensor can be mounted temporar-ily using the supplied magnets (to position the senor correctly) and then the magnets can be removed to permanently mount the sensor on the machine. See the figure and the table for relevant mounting information and the follow-ing page for tips on mounting the sensor on the machine.

CAUTION: Make sure that the stroke sensor is bound firmly to the machine and that the ma-chine is properly grounded. Also, make sure that all cables are wired away from any sources of static such as material feeds lines.

1.8 LE-R-30 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The preferred method of mounting the stroke sensor is to mount it on the injection unit sled near the back of the injection unit. The sensor will then detect the movement of the screw but not the movement of the sled.

Another method of mounting the Stroke sensor is to mount it on the molding machine near the back injection unit sled. This method should be used as a last resort because of the screw but also the movement of the sled. Another draw back is the loss of some of the usable length.

The Stroke sensor can also be mounted on the injection unit. It will then detect the movement of the sled. This method should be used as a last resort because of heat; care must be taken to keep the sensor at least 6-8” away from the bar-rel heaters.

Care must be taken to install the stroke sensor so that the cable enters the metal cable bushing straight so there is no wear on the cable.Not Acceptable

1.9 LYNx TO DIN RAIL COMMUNICATIONS ADAPTER

DIN/Lx-D The DIN/LX-D is a Lynx to DIN rail communica-tions module that acts as an interface between standard Lynx cables and Lynx DIN rail mounted modules when not using an ID7-D-SEQ. The DIN/LX-D is designed to be used with the GSC2™ TMSystem.

This DIN/LX-D is designed to be mounted on standard 35mm DIN rail often found with the OR2-D-VG modules, which control the hydraulic or pneumatic directional valves for opening and closing the valve gate pin.

J-Lx1

The J-LX1 is a feed-through junction for use with the GSC2™ System Lynch network. The feed-through junction connections the DIN rail mod-ules inside of the machine panel to the GSC2™ TM, which is outside of the machine panel.

Note: Recommended Mounting hole Size is 5/8” (15,9 mm)

1.10 LYNx hYDRAULIC PRESSURE SENSOR LS-h-1/4 NPT-3k

The lynx LS-H-1/4 NPT – 3K is a machine mount hydraulic pressure sensor designed to be used with the GSC 2TM System.

The LS-H-1/4 NPT-3K is outfitted with a female “quick disconnect” with connects with a male fitting that is attached to the machine’s hydraulic system.

This is needed to access the injection pressure and backpressures, which build up at the cylinder of the ram. The male fitting which attaches to the hydraulic system, is shipped with ¼” NPTF threads.

If a different thread is desired, adapters can be ordered through Parker.

Once the LS-H-1/4NPT-3K is attached to the hy-draulic system it can be attached to the GSC2™ using standard Lynx cabling.

2.1 PRE-START UP PROCEDURES

WhEN SETTING UP YOUR NEW GSC2™ VALVE GATE CONTROLLER

When setting up the GSC2™ valve gate control system there are some things that need to be done. If hydraulic use the following information. If pneumatic see page 2, 14.

NOTE: The following information is required be-fore the installation is made.

1. To locate the following signals from the moldingmachine.

1. To locate the following signals from the moldingmachine, these signals should be 24VDC. If usingother than 24VDC, please consult INCOE® beforeoperation.

a.) Injection Forwardb.) Mold Clampedc.) Screw Rund.) Manual Mode

Hydraulic pressure port for the injection unit. (The cylinder behind the screw)

The mounting of the linear encoder (in line with the metering screw indicator located on the barrel of the machine.

The hydraulic reservoir and the hydraulic hoses do not have any hydraulic oil in them. The hydraulic oil that should be used is “Mobile DTE-24, 25 or 26” or equivalent. See page 15.

After filling the reservoir with hydraulic oil the hy-draulic power unit can be powered up (see buttons on front of the power unit).

The pump may make a clattering noise; this is normal and also means that the motor is running in the correct direction.

The pump should be turned off as this can cause

damage to the pump. The unit can be jogged using the start and stop bush button on the front of the power unit. This will help to eliminate this noise.

Make sure that the hydraulic hoses that go from the hydraulic power unit to the mold are full with hydraulic oil before hooking them up between the valve stack and the mold.

The hydraulic hoses can be filled with hydraulic oil by taking one end of the hose and connecting it to port “A” on the valve stack and the other end to the “B” port.

See page 16 for example.

After the hoses are connected, turn the hydraulic pump on and let it run for 10 to 20 seconds. Then turn the hydraulic pump off.

After the first set of hoses are filled with oil, the rest of them can be filled the same way.

NOTE: The hydraulic power unit reservoir needs to be kept full of oil at all times. This will prevent the oil from getting overheated.

2.2 STARTUPJob Setup –Choosing Job Names Locations –Nam-ing and Testing Machine Size –Get the correct valuesPin Sizes –Get the correct values only if using cav-ity pressure sensors

Job Setup –Choosing Job Names Choose mold and material.Use the cavities section to describe the valve con-trol. The complete setup of valve gate open and close controls is stored with the Mold/Material/Cavities setup.

Example: A mold may be run in one machine with alternate cavity control for reduced clamp tonnage and in another larger machine with independent control.

So the names for the two jobs might be: P221M1/High Heat Acrylic/Alternate P221M1/High Heat Acrylic/Independent

Example: The valve gates may be set to operate one set of cavities in a family mold for one job and another set for another job.

Make a different job with each cavity described under “Cavities”. If you do not set up separate jobs for different valve gate sequencing then each time the job is set up the operator must refer to a paper sheet, go the Valve Gate Control on the GSC2™ and change the settings.

2.3 ThINGS TO DO

1. Make a record of the wiring2. Label all wires and plumbing3. Make a note of all serial numbers of all devices. These numbers will show up on the sensor loca-tion page. They are needed to set up this page correctly.

Outputs from the GSC2™ to the Valve Gate and Machine Solenoids (Lynx relay modules)

OR2-D-VG Valve Gate Modules requires that all

contacts be wired nominally open (N O). Wired at the factory.

Each OR2-D-VG has two outputs so one OR2-D-VG can operate two valve gates. One set of contacts for each valve gate. When the contact closes, the Valve Gate pin opens.

Machine in Manual ModeIf in manual mode the valve gate control is set to open all valves whenever the machine injects. This allows for purging through the hot runner Valve Gate system. When doing this use screw rotate and back pressure only! This includes purging the barrel of the Molding Machine.

Caution: Hot Runner Manifold System must be up to “Set Temperature” for at minimum of 15 minutes before purging barrel.
