its contents.
All chapters
Overview of clamp and eject operation: how the QDC
module controls the clamp and eject phases 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. This includes configuring your QDC module to
communicate to the different inputs and outputs.
Chapter 3
Overview of remaining configuration procedures that you
are to perform through the remainder of this manual.
Chapter 4
Jog the Clamp and Ejector. This task requires jog setpoints

module. This task includes selecting command and status
bits that you use when writing your ladder logic.
Chapter 6
Load initial configuration values for the QDC module. This
task requires you to determine and enter values into the
clamp and ejector configuration blocks.
Chapter 7
Load your initial profile values for the QDC module. This
task is performed in preparation to run and span your
machine's valves.
Chapter 8
Span your clamp and ejector valves. This is done using
setĆoutput and openĆloop modes.
Chapter 9
Tune the machine in closedĆloop mode. Chapter 10
Troubleshoot problems that may occur during module
operation.
