4-3
Configuration procedures detailed over 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: Enter this Information: Refer to:
1 Jog Your Machine Machine jog pressure and flow setpoints are
entered into the Jog Configuration (JGC) block.
You actually jog your inject and clamp with
commands in the Dynamic Command Block (DYC)
to further refine your jog configuration.
Jog pressure alarm setpoints are configured.

2 Write a PLCĆ5 Program to
Coordinate Phases
The QDC module offers many machine operation
options to meet nearly any injection molding
machine's requirements.
PLCĆ5 ladder logic is required to cycle the machine
in the desired manner.
