2.2. Call the screen pages

The system permits to select a page in following 3 ways:
1) In MAIN MENU, all pages are identified by a head title and by a number (can used for the
print function), insert the number to search the page;
2) Press the F key in F2~F8 which represents the function group the searched pages belongs
first. All the pages in this group are identified by graphic icons in the bottom-side
horizontal-strip of the page. You have to press the F key to access at the right page.
3) Pressing the Fn key for this group once and once again until the right page displayed. But
above 3 methods are not used for searching the pages with the identify number great than 28.
The only way to access these pages is first come into page 28 in MAIN MENU and then
select the relative icon.
2.3. Structur of screen pages

The main fields of this page including 7 parts:
1) Left-high: Actual Date and Time display;
2) Center-high: Page Title and Number;
3) Right-high: Showing the limits for settings (max,min);0/1 for selectors; multi-selectors;
4) Setting Zone: This zone is in the center page for setting, displaying graph;
5) Group Selection Zone: Its in the lower side, bar graph with 8 icons for group-selection
6) Message Display Zone: Actual alarm display and password level indication. It locates
below the group Selection Zone.
2.4. Set the parameters
Numerical parameter: data input by numeric keyboard; enter for conferm; insert
password if needed; number must be in limits;
Yes/No selectors: the setting method is first moving the cursor to the selecting area and
then press ENTER, the selection YES or NO will be showed;
Multiple selector: there are 2 or more selections possible in one setting area and its
displayed a selection description. The selecting method is as same as the YES/NO
selectors.
Alphanumeric data input : only provided in mold data storage or load, press ENTER in
character input and select char with arrow key Up or Down
Pag.6
3. Screen Pages Description

3.1. Page 00 Logo
This page contains: the Company Symbol, the Software Program Identification Code, the Firmware
Version Identification Code either for PLC and for Control Panel. It also gives the message WAIT
PLEASE.
When the power on, the system first self-diagnose just like a personal computer ,checking all the
hardware and if no problem this screen will be displayed .This page means the system is uploading
the software and this process need about 10 seconds. When it finishes, page 01 MAIN MENU
will appear automatically.
Pag.7
3.1.1. Data corrupted or losed
If there is some problem with variables (variables corrupted or losed) the video page00 appear in
this way.
The operator has to restart the pc and after he has to load the variables recipe.
Pag.8
3.2. Page 01 Main menu
This page will be displayed automatically after page 00. When in other pages, this page can be
recalled by F1 key.
Here a page can be selected freely in three ways: one is moving the cursor to the page which the
operator wants and then press ENTER; another is inputting the page number in SELECTION
PAGE :, then press ENTER; another is through the F key (F1-F8)
If a new data will be input, the right password level should be efficient. This system supplies 3
password levels: level 1 is for setting the normal operation data; level 2 is for selecting the special
function, such as output test, analog input calibration ; level 3 is the highest level and all settings
are possible. Level 1 and level 2 can be changed in page 28, but level 3 is unchangeable. Every time
that the system starts, the password should be inputted. Once a password inputted, the
corresponding password level will keep efficient until the screen sleep works. If the required
password level not efficient when you press ENTER to input a new data, at the left-down corner a
message will appear. For example , PASSWORD (Liv,1) , this message means need
password level 1, so the operator must input the password level 1 in page 01.
In this page ,the screen brightness can be adjusted by F1 software key, after pressing F1, a red pane
will display in the icon above F1, it means that the brightness can be adjusted .Then press the cursor
up or down to adjust the screen brightness light or dark. On TFT color display this function is
not active.
Pag.9
3.3. Page 02 Heating
This page is made by 4 sections(besides the 2 bar-graphs with icons):

1) Temperature bar graphs for real and setting values of 7 zones;
2) Cylinder drawing is for displaying the real statues of every heaters (nozzle and 6 zones);
3) Temperature setting zone:
MODE-There are 3 modes for heating. (1) PID : automatically heating by PID
regulation; (2) MANUAL : heating on continually with setting power (SET MAN)
without check real temperature; (3) OFF: heating off.
SET
[C] -The set temperature value;
MAX +[C] -The set temperature upper limit, and this is a relative value;
MIN - [C] -The setting temperature lower limit, and this is a relative value;
SET
[%] -Only in MANUAL heating mode this setting is efficient. It is the heating
time ratio, its value equal:
time for heater on in unit time / unit time. For example: set [%]=15,it means the heating
regulation is 15 seconds for heater on in 100 seconds. In fact, this value can be
considered as heating power.
REAL [C] -Display the real zone temperature;
REAL [%] -Display the real heating power;
ALARM-There are 5 kinds of heater alarms in the system.
real temperature lower than the setting temperature;
real temperature higher than the setting temperature;
thermo couple wire broken;
heater wire broken;
heater wire short-connection ;
Pag.10
4)
Function setting zone:

HISTOGRAM MAX SET POINT- this value is the maximal temperature setting value,
it is as same as the MAX VALUE in page 30;
MAX CABINE TEMPERATURE-this setting value is the maximal cabin temperature,
the thermocouple is inside the PLC. If the real cabin temperature is high than the setting
value, a alarm will be display but not stop any movement.
WAIT MODE is a special function. This function is used for keeping the barrel
temperature when the machine stops temporarily.
For example:
The operator will leave to lunch at 11:00 and he wants stop the work during his lunch time. He does
not want to turn off the heating because that will waste some time when he begins to work this
afternoon. But if still turn on the heater ,the setting temperature (for example 200C) is too high and
it is not good for the material in the barrel. He only want 50C to keep the temperature of barrel .
He will come back at 12:00 and he hopes the system will begin to heating at 11:50 .So when he
comes back this afternoon, he can work right now.
To realize this requirement, when the operator leaves he first select WAIT MODE as YES,
then set PERCENTAGE OF SET as 25%
(200C 25%=50C ), finally set WAIT TIME as 50 minutes.
Pag.11
3.4. Page 03 Hot runner
This page is for heating the hot-runners(option function). The using method is similar to the
page HEATING.
Pag.12
3.5. Page 04 Schedule
This page is for the function of pre-heating barrel and hot-runners(option function) by internal
clock and calendar. the operator can set each working day of beginning and stopping in a week,
either for BARREL or for HOT-RUNNER in 2 different sections.
Pag.13
3.6. Page 05 Temperature graph
This page is for displaying the temperature graph of each heating zone (including the oil
temperature) in past 24 hours. The system will sample and store the temperature of each zone every
5 minutes.
There are 2 coordinates in this page. On the Y axis of coordinate ,the upper value and the lower
value can be set, so the graph can be enlarged or reduced. The partial view can display the
temperatures freely by the function keys in the right icons bar. The total view can display the
temperatures in past 24 hours.
The section between the two coordinates is for selecting the displayed zones. At the same time,
maximal value of displayed zones is 4. Move the cursor to the selecting part, press ENTER , one
zone name will displayed, press ENTER continually until the required zone displayed. The
temperature value will be shown at its right side.
The low section is for function selecting. Grids is the function for selecting the grids in 2
coordinates or not.
Selection is the function of displaying partial view. Here only displaying the selected tool and the
tool is selected with the function selection keys Func in the bottom side icons bar. ---> and
<--- are the assistant function keys. Move the cursor in the Func then press ENTER , the tool
name will displayed in the right side of Selection. The tools in Func includes Cursor 1,
Cursor 2, Stop acquisition, Clear graphics.
Cursor 1 is the left Y axis in the coordinate of partial view, after select Cursor 1 then can
move the left Y axis to left or right using the assistant function keys <--- or --->. When the
cursor 1 moved, the left displayed time will changed every 5 minutes.
Cursor 2 is the right Y axis in the coordinate of partial view, the use method is as same as the
Cursor 1. When the cursor 2 moved, the right displayed time will changed. So by moving cursor
Pag.14
1 and cursor 2, the partial view display time can be changed, the operator can set the time zone that
he interested .
Stop acquisition is for freeze the graphics, in this way the operator can show always the situation
in this moment.
Clear graphics is for erase all data about graphics and restart.
Pag.15
3.7. Page 06 Mold close
This page is for setting the data of mold close.

There are 5 steps in closing mold. Setting the position, speed and pressure in sequential steps. The
zero position for mold movement is the end position of closing mold. The setting position of each
step is the change point, for example, like the above screen, the change point from step 1 to step 2 is
250.0mm, that means during closing mold the speed and pressure are 60% and 120 bar separately
when the real position is great than 250.0mm. If the real mold position is between 250.0 and 50.0,
the outputs of the speed and pressure will be 80% and 140 bar. Step 5 mold clamping has not the
setting position because the end position of closing mold is not judged by position but by the limit
switch Finish close mold.
The section below the 5 steps is the graph for setting, from this graph, the operator can check his
setting and read the real mold position.
The lowest section is for function selection and time setting.
The selection High speed mode is for selecting a valve named High speed valve will open
during the high speed closing zone.
The Close time is for setting the whole time of closing mold . If the real time exceeds the setting
time, the alarm as Close mold overtime will displayed and the movement stops. The Protection
time is for protecting the mold, the setting position is the position when the two parts of the mold
begin to connect, the setting speed and pressure should be lower, so if something is in the mold,
during step 4 Mold slow, this timer starts and it will exceed the setting time because the pressure
and speed are low, then a alarm displayed and the mold could be protected.
Pag.16
3.8. Page 07 Mold open
This page is for setting the data of mold open.

The screen and setting method are similar to Page MOLD CLOSE.
The only different is the Stop position tolerance. This tolerance is used to control the ejector
forward. If the real mold position is between the upper tolerance and the lower tolerance , the
ejector could forward, otherwise forbid.
The upper tolerance = the setting position of step 5 + tolerance +;
The lower tolerance = the setting position of step 5 - tolerance -;
Attention: The system will output zero pressure and speed when the mold position of lower
tolerance reached and the aim of working as such is to reduce the inertia.
Pag.17
3.9. Page 08 Ejector
This page is for ejector .

The up-left section is for ejector forward. It has the setting graph and setting zone. The Delay
time is executed before the ejector forwards. The time is used to avoid the pressure influence of
last movement.
The up-right section is for ejector backward. It is similar to the Forward section. But please notice
that the position for step 2. Here a small value not zero can be set, for example 2mm. By this, the
mechanical strike can be avoided. The reason is the system will output zero for pressure and speed
when this position (step 2) reached, the ejector could return to the back end with inertia.
Notice: The position for step 2 must not set too great, otherwise the ejector cant return to the
end point by inertia and the switch named BACK END will not on, so the system forbids closing
mold!
The ejector action has three working modes:
Single means :the ejector only forwards one time no concern with the ejector counter. In
manual mode, press the ejector for. Key, the ejector forwards and then stops when it reaches the
end position. In semiauto mode, the ejector only forward once, in next cycle, the ejector first
backward when the cycle starts. This mode cant used in Full-Auto mode. If this mode is selected in
Full-Auto mode, the Full-Auto mode will be converted to Semi-Auto mode automatically. And if
this mode is selected, the Full-Auto mode is inaccessible ,in this condition, press the
FULLAUTO key, the light for SEMIAUTO will be on.
Normal means: the ejector forwards to the setting point and then backwards to end point
several times as the number set in Ejector counter. In manual mode, press the EJECTOR
Pag.18
FORWARD continually ,the ejector works as same as in Auto mode.

Vib means vibration , the difference with Normal is the back movement, the ejector only
backwards to the position of step 1 and then forward. Just in the last time, the ejector backwards to
the position of step 2.
Ejector counter is for setting the times of ejector movement.
The system permits one working mode efficient in the same time. So if one working mode is
selected as YES the others will be NO automatically. All for NO is permit in condition of
only ejecting by air.
The low-right section is for air ejecting. The setting position is the point that the air valve on. If the
operator wants use this function , first set SELECT as YES.
Pag.19
3.10. Page 09 Cores
This page is for cores.

The software supplies 2 terms of cores and 2 terms of unscrews. The unscrew can be used as core.
So 4 terms of cores can be used at most.
Now we can use core 1 as an example to explain how to set the data:
Only selecting the core 1 as YES, it can work. The selection column is in the first line.
POS mm is for setting the position of core in and core out. If the setting position is just in the
closing path when closing mold, the mold closes to the setting position and then stops, the core
begins to move in, after core in finishes, the mold continues to close again. Core out works just like
this.
If the operator wants the core moves in before closing mold, he should set the position greater than
the real open end position, so first core in and then close mold when the cycle starts. If the operator
wants the core moves in after closing mold, he should set the position as 0, the core will move in
after closing mold.
If the operator wants the core moves out before opening mold, he should set the position as 0, so
first core out and then open mold. If the operator wants the core moves out after opening mold, he
should set the position as a value between the real open stop position and the open mold tolerance
lower limit, because the position cant reached if the setting is greater than the real final position,
then the core will out after closing mold.
If the setting core in and out positions of core 1 and core 2 are same, the move sequence is first core
1 in then core 2 in and first core 2 out then core 1 out.
Speed and pressure of core only has one step.
TIME has the different functions in mode SIGNAL and mode TIME (option page). In
SIGNAL mode ,this time is the alarm time, if the real time exceeds the setting, a alarm will
Pag.20
appear and the movement stops. In TIME mode ,it is the moving time.
DELAY is the delay time before core moves, its function is as same as the ejector delay time.
The setting method for unscrew is similar to core. If the operator wants to use unscrew 1 as core
3, move the cursor to unscrew 1 then press ENTER, the core 3 will displayed. The counter
number should be set when used as unscrew.
In the middle page its possible to select easier cores in sequence.
If select 2 or more cores, by select IN SEQUENCE YES, by select cores IN or OUT at moold
open position, cores IN before mold close and cores out after mold open end. This, without check
mold IN/OUT position set.
At same, if select cores IN or OUT at mold close position, cores IN when mold close END and
cores OUT before mold open.
If select at position, only by set common position, cores IN or OUT at same position. Dont check
each core IN / OUT position set.
On CORES OPTIONS page, its possible select the sequence IN and the sequence OUT
Its possible select special cores functions in page SPECIAL CYCLES
Pag.21
3.10.1. Page Cores Options
Page for cores options.

MODE has two selections: one is SIGNAL, the positions of core in and core out judged by
two limit switches; another is TIME, the setting time controls the core in and core out.
HOLD is selected as YES, for example, the valve for core in will on when injection.
Otherwise, the valve not open.
D. MOLD is the function that the core can work during mold movement. That is to say ,core
in during closing mold and core out during opening mold. This function is unavailable in this
machine.
Set sequence if selected on page CORES.
Set minimum speed and pression need to move mold for reatch cores IN/OUT position when is an
intermediate mold position.
Pag.22
3.10.2. Page Cores special cycles
In this page the operator can set a special cycles for every cores and set the delay time.
Pag.23
3.11. Page 10 Accessories
This page is for lubrication, mold adjustment and robot.

1) Lubrication:
Lubrication MODE :
Number of cycles mean that every Nr machine cycles in auto or semiauto mode, set on Cicle
Nr., start lubrication.
Interval Time mean that every Interval time seconds, set below, (timer start when machine work
in auto or semiauto mode), start lubrication.
Lubrication at 1st cycle : when machine start at first auto or semiauto cycle, execute lubrication
Lubrication type: there are 3 types of lubrication
Time : lubrication cycle consist in set digital output for lubrication for work time
set below.
Pressure 1: lubrication cycle consist in set digital output for lubrication until read digital input
signal from lubrication pressure switch. Work time is alarm time. If pressure switch not ON
before end alarm time, lubrication alarm is set ON.
Pressure 2: lubrication cycle consist in set digital output for lubrication for work time. During
lubrication time, if pressure switch not ON, lubrication alarm is set ON.
2) Mold adjustment:
Here the pressures and speeds for close mold, open mold, mold adjust forward and mold adjust
backward can be set .The setting pressures and speeds should not be too high ,especially for mold
adjustment. We comment 50bar and 40 % are the up limit.
In manual mode, press the AUTO MOLD ADJUST key once, the light of AUTO MOLD
Pag.24
ADJUST becomes on and the light of MANUAL becomes off, it represents now is in the manual
mold adjust mode. In this mode, close mold, open mold, carriage forward, carriage backwards,
mold adjust forward and mold adjust backward can works by pressing the relative keys. This time,
the movements use the special pressures and speeds not same as the normal movements in other
working mode. The carriage movements will not limited by setting position, it only stopped by
mechanical parts.
Press the AUTO MOLD ADJUST key twice, the system comes into the auto mold adjust mode.
In this mode, close the safety door and press the MOLD ADJUST FORWARD key once, the auto
mold adjust starts. Press the AUTO MOLD ADJUST key again, the adjustment can be
interrupted. When the adjustment finish or interrupted, the system converts to manual working
mode automatically.
3)Robot (option function):
Here select the robot as YES if the robot be used. And select the time when the robot starts.
When the robot finishes, the next cycle starts.
4) Photo detect is the selection for using a photo sensor in full auto mode
5) Auto door is for use the doors in automatic mode; in this machine this function is not available.
Pag.25
3.12. Page 11 Injection profiles
This page is for setting the data of injection.

The up-right section is for injection including 6 steps.
The up-left section is for holding pressure including 5 steps.
The middle of the screen is the graph for setting data. Below the graph is the section for function
selection. The zero point of the screw movement is the end position of injecting. So the setting
position of step 1 is greatest and step 6 is the end point.
Holding selection: It is to select the type of converting from injection to holding pressure. In
this system there are three types to select.
1) TIME: Set a whole injection time, when this time is exceeds, the injection changes to
holding pressure automatically. In this mode, the outputs for pressure and speed depend on the
setting position as same as in mode POSITION. Below the section for holding pressure, the whole
injection time can be set in Injection time.
Attention: in other two modes, this time is used for alarm. In this setting time, if the end point
of injection not reached, an alarm will occurs and the movement stops.
2) POSITION: The injection end position is the setting position of step 6, the injection converts
to holding pressure automatically if this position reached.
3) PRESSURE: During injection, when the system pressure is higher than the setting, the
injection stops and holding pressure starts. Below the up-left Injection time, a pressure of
converting point can be set.
Cushion check: This function is for controlling the product quality by detecting the end
position of holding pressure. Cushion point is for setting the standard end position. Tolerance +
is a relative value for setting the cushion upper limit. Tolerance - is a relative value for setting the
cushion lower limit.
Pag.26
Real upper limit = standard cushion point + tolerance +;

Real lower limit = standard cushion point - tolerance - .
In full auto mode, when this function selected, if the real end point out of the upper limit and
lower limit, a alarm occurs and the next cycle stops after this cycle finished.
In manual mode, press the INJECT key continually, the injection and holding pressure can be
executed sequentially.
Pag.27
3.13.
Page 12 Charge profiles
This page is for charging and suck back.

The upper section is for setting the charging, the BACK-PRESS is for setting the value of
back pressure. In this machine, the system cant control the back pressure, the back pressure can
only adjusted by manual so setting the back pressure is no of use. In manual mode, press
CHARGE key one time, the charge movement works continually even releasing the key. When
the charge end position reached, the movement will stop automatically. During charging, press the
CHARGE key again, the charging will be interrupted.
The following section is for setting the suck back. Suck back before charge is able to select
and this function only executed in auto mode. Suck back after charge is standard. In manual mode,

param. and copy these parameters on the other zones.
Pag.54
3.33. Page 32.1 Limits/Ramp
This page is for setting the ramps and up limit of each pressure. For each movement 3
parameters can be set: speed ramp, pressure ramp, pressure up limit.
The ramp is to improve the performance of the machine. The hydraulic circuit will cause the
strike if the output changes to a new value directly when the output changed. So the operator can
use the ramp to decrease the strike. Using the ramp, the system will output some middle values
between the original output and new output. The ramp range is 0~100, zero is no ramp, the new
value will be outputted directly. 1 is minimal ramp, it means the changing process is very long ,
and the steps of the outputs are most. 100 is the maximal ramp, it means the changing process is
very short, and the steps of the outputs are less.
Pag.55

Carriage F. Adjust in low-left side is for setting the pressure and speed of carriage forward in
mold adjust mode. Carriage B. Adjust is for setting the pressure and speed of carriage backward
in mold adjust mode.
The delay times are mainly used for decreasing the influence of last movements. When a
movement finishes, zero pressure and speed will be outputted. But the pressure can down to zero
right now because of the inertia, if execute the next movement as soon as the last movement
finished, a strike will be caused in the hydraulic circuit. The delay times of each movement are the
waiting time before executing the movement.
