INTRODUCTION
Part 2, the Maintenance Manual, contains the controller screen pages relevant to maintenance
and troubleshooting. These include the "Service Menu", "Heat P.I.D.", "P & V Control Parameters"
and "Waiting Points". Also included is other information designed for the use of trained
maintenance personnel.
It is recommended that the Operator Manual be used in conjunction with this manual. Problems
with the machine can often be resolved by a change in a set value on a screen page rather than
an actual mechanical adjustment. A listing and description of error messages, along with
corrective measures, is contained in the Operator Manual. This should be the first point of
reference should a problem occur.

Text Input
The block diagram above represents the functional layout of a computer based control system.
The input and output blocks represent the system interfaces to the outside industrial environment.
For example, an input might be a measure of temperature, pressure, flow rate, or any other
transducer feedback relevant to the process control. It could also be a set value entered by the
operator via the screen monitor. An output might be a signal to turn on a specific solenoid which
would cause a particular action. (i.e. clamp close).
The memory block contains the instructions that are to be performed by the control and arithmetic
blocks (i.e. set values). As well, this block contains the basic machine instructions which control
how the machine uses the set values (i.e. machine parameters).
The arithmetic block represents the area where all system control calculations are carried out. It
is based on a series of logic functions which, provide a basis for complex system control.
The control block directs the flow of information from the input to the memory, to the ALU for
processing and out again through the specific output channel.
For example, the address bus provides an individual location in memory to or from which data is
transferred. The data bus is the transport vehicle for the actual data and is generally half the size
of the address bus. The control bus provides the pathway for control signals such as read, write,
or enable.
The microprocessor operates on a 5 Vdc signal to carry out its logic calculations. For example, a
24V limit switch signal is read by the Digital input card and is converted to digital binary 5 volt
signal before being sent to the microprocessor. The 5 volt digital signal from the microprocessor
is converted on the Digital output card to a 24 volt analog signal before being applied to a
particular solenoid.
Since the microprocessor only deals with digital signals, when the signal it receives is analog (i.e.
pressure feedback) or when the signal it sends must be analog (K or Y valve)? The signal goes
through an analog to digital conversion (ADC) or through a digital to analog conversion (DAC).
The microprocessor makes decisions based on physical parameters such as pressure or velocity.
Since the microprocessor only deals with digital information, the analog signals must be quantified
and coded into machine language. Since analog data is representative of some physical
parameter, it is important that the analog data varies in proportion to the physical parameter it
represents. As an example of ADC, the 3 volt analog signal below, would be converted to binary
machine language as 0011 using a 4-bit system.
After processing information to be directed to an analog device (i.e. Y or K valve), the binary
machine language must be converted to an analog signal. Typically, a number of power sources
within the microprocessor are switched on or off.(i.e. ON =1 = 5 volts; OFF = 0 = 0 volts), and then
summed together to form an analog output. The example below shows a digital machine
language signal being summed together to form a 7 volt analog output signal.

CAUTION!
As soon as you receive the machine, take note of the normal state of all LED's within the
electronic cabinet. This includes Digital input cards, Digital output cards, AR161 Analog card,
E8 Temperature cards and the PS242 power supply card.
Recording the normal state of these LED's, will enable you to quickly determine the area of the
problem if you experience any minor electronic problems.
As well, if the maintenance technician is allowed access into the "TEST AND PARAMETERS"
area of the controller the activation/ de-activation state of all digital inputs and digital outputs can
be viewed on the screen monitor. See Service Menu - Test and Parameters.
If the machine is equipped with a graphics printer, these troubleshooting pages can be printed out
for future reference. This would be extremely useful for the maintenance technician in tracking
machine problems. If the technician has a printout of the state of all digital inputs and outputs
when the machine is running problem free, it will be simple to identify input or output channels that
are causing problems in the future.

2. HARDWARE
CAUTION!
All electronic cards and units described in this chapter contain Electro-static Sensitive Devices.
These devices can be easily damaged by the static charge built up on a person’s body.
The simple act of standing up and walking up to a machine can generate up to 5000 Volts of static
charge. If the card or component is touched, the static field surrounding your body can damage
one or more of the semi-conductor junctions inside the integrated circuit.
The fault introduced on an integrated circuit can cause the whole card to become defective. The
fault may not become apparent until sometime later. This faulty card could seriously degrade the
performance of the machine.
Because of the possibility of damaging an integrated circuit, all the electronic cards on the
machine must be handled with special static sensitive protective precautions.
WARNING!
Before any card is removed or replaced, the maintenance technician must ensure that:
1. The machine is grounded to the mains supply earth. This can be achieved via
the mains supply cable ground conductor, even when the power is turned off.
2 A conductive mat is connected to the designated grounding point on the
electronic card rack. A green socket is provided on the left-hand side of the card
rack.
3. The maintenance technician is connected to the conductive mat, by means of a
conductive wrist strap and cable.

3 CARD CODING
All cards, except the Power Supply card, the E-CGC card, and the CPU card, can be placed in
any location in the motherboard. The CPU card can differentiate between the separate cards by
their switch position numbers. The coding switches are the small blue plastic boxes located on the
cards below, numbered from 0-F in hexadecimal.
This can be useful when troubleshooting defective cards. For example, assume that you suspect
a defect in Digital Input card #1. Remove another Digital Input card, change the switch position to
that of the first input card, re-insert the card and see if the problem is corrected. If so, the first
digital input card was defective and a replacement card is required. Below are listed the specific
card numbers and their relevant switch position numbers.

23/12/05 2. HARDWARE 13
EC100 / CC100 - A03 MAINTENANCE:
The CPU card is equipped with 1M RAM memory for storage of the machine parameters
(linearization tables, set values, etc.). The RAM memory is maintained in control voltage "OFF"
situations by a 3.6 volt lithium battery. The battery is connected via a jumper installed as shown
on the CPU card drawing on the following page. If the battery becomes defective (i.e. voltage
potential below 3 volts), error '2 - CPU LOW BATTERY' will appear indicating that condition.
The CPU card is also equipped with 1M of EPROM memory as outlined in the EPROM summary.
The CPU card acts as the "master" to the slave cards, AR181 Analog Card and TT081 -
Temperature card. The CPU sends the AR181 Analog Card a certain mold closing profile.
The AR181 Analog Card will then take over the task of monitoring the closing profile and when the
profile has been completed, the AR181 Analog Card will "inform" the CPU card.
The Temperature card reacts in much the same way with regard to temperature profiles.
All of the instructions and communications between the CPU card and the Analog and
Temperature cards are timed. If the sequence of timed events does not go according to the
software plan, a "watchdog" timer is tripped and the machine will immediately stop cycling. If this
happens, the operator should switch the control voltage off, and then on again to activate the main
title page. The operator can then identify the specific system or EBIAS error causing the problem
by referring to the bottom display area on the screen.
The CC100-A03 requires a floppy disk interface which is achieved by the E-HSI-RS232 interface
submodule mounted on the SC021 motherboard which is then, as a unit, mounted directly onto
the CPU card.
At the top of the CPU card, there is a black push buttons which must never be pressed by the
operator. Pressing this button will totally disable the machine. An Engel trained maintenance
technician uses the black push-button to load EBIAS sequence programs into the RAM memory.
Pressing the push-button will "dump" the RAM memory and all calibrations and mold set-ups will
be lost. This will also cause re-loading of the RAM memory with stored EPROM values.
As a troubleshooting note, it is possible to identify system errors in situations when the main
monitor screen will not activate. At the bottom of the CPU card are two sets of 8 red LED's. The
bottom set displays various interrupt type situations of little interest to the maintenance technician.
The top set, however, displays component and system error numbers.

EC100 / CC100 - A03 MAINTENANCE:
Each phase of the sequence will display two numbers via a set of eight LEDs. The set of LEDs
has two groups of four LEDs. The four LEDs represent, a four digit binary number.
A lighted LED equals one, and an unlit LED equals zero.
Add together the numbers that correspond to the LEDs that are on, follow the example shown on
the previous page. The first number in the component number sequence (c0), has the third LED
on. This corresponds to a binary number of 0100 or a decimal number 4. The second number
(c1), has the first and second LEDs on. These LEDs correspond to the binary number of 1100 or
decimal number of 1 + 2 = 3. The third number (c2) has the second LED on. This LED
corresponds to binary 0010 or decimal 2. The fourth number (c3) has the first LED on. This LED
corresponds to binary 0001 or decimal 1.
Note down the LEDs that are on for each sequence to derive the component number, in this case
the numbers are 4321, which gives a component number of 1234.
The Error number is then presented in the same manner. Add together the numbers that
correspond to the LEDs that are lit. In this case the numbers are 8765, which give an error number
of 5678.

8 TEMPERATURE CARDS
The TT 081 Temperature card controls all the heating or cooling zones. This card provides closed
loop control of temperatures. The operator has the option of controlling the emphasis placed on
heating or cooling, or a combination of both heating and cooling through the use of the 'HKV'
variable on the heat control parameter page. The card is also equipped with its own
microprocessor and functions as the "slave" of the main CPU microprocessor (80386SX). The
behavior of the heat for each zone can be fine tuned through the heat P.I.D. control parameters.
A unique feature of the TT 081 is the self-tuning capability for setting the P.I.D.s. Please refer to
FINE-TUNING, CHAPTER 7 of this manual for more information on this feature.
• 8 temperature zones per card.(CC100, up to 120 zones, on 16 cards).
• If the machine has only one TT081 temperature card, the first zone controls the oil
temperature and the remaining 7 zones can be used for heating or cooling.
• Second optional heat card controls zones 8 through 15.
• Each zone, except the oil temperature zone, uses an ungrounded thermocouple.
• The triacs or solid state relays controlling each zone (heating or cooling) have 0V common.
They are switched from the card by a 24V/500mA output

Watchdog Function
The AR 181 has an in-built hardware watchdog function. That watchdog function is triggered
periodically by the operating system in order to ensure that the board is functioning properly.
If the software does not trigger the watchdog within a fixed time interval of 45 ms, the board
triggers a reset signal of 90 ms duration (AR 181 reset only and not a bus I/O reset). Following the
reset signal, the module boots up again to the point at which the higher-level central processor
board detects the defective AR 181.

Analog to digital Converter AS141
The AS141 converts the analog signal from the stroke transducer, at the transducer, in to a digital
signal for transmission to the Analog card. The digital signal is not susceptible to corruption from
any ambient electrical noise. Therefore the digital signal is more precise and can give a better
resolution of the position of the transducer.

screened signal transmission. The stroke transducer is insulated electrically from the machine
ground. The AS141 A/D converter with a shield bracket is identified by a label attached to the front
side, with a serial number, as shown below.

VALVE
These valves provide closed loop control of injection speed, injection hold pressure, and
backpressure. The Bosch valve is also used for operating the Clamp close and open function
(open loop) on some toggle machines.
44 2. HARDWARE 23/12/05
EC100 / CC100 A03 MAINTENANCE:
The Proportional Valve Amplifier card receives an analog signal at terminal Y1 for speed control
and at terminal K1 for pressure control. Machines with two pumps will have a second analog input
terminal, Y2, since these machines have a second speed control valve. The analog input signal is
typically between 2 and 9 Volts d.c.
In response to the analog input signal, the Proportional Valve Amplifier card will apply a current to
the solenoid coil of the proportional valve. The output signal to the Y-valve (speed) is conducted
over terminals Y1- and Y1+. The output signal to the K-valve (pressure) is conducted over
terminals K1- and K1+. For machines with two pumps, the output signal to the second Y-valve
(speed) is conducted over terminals Y2- and Y2+.
The Proportional Valve Amplifier cards also receive position feedback signals from the
proportional valve indicating the true valve armature position. If there is any difference between
the primary signal and the feedback signal, a corrective signal is transmitted from the Proportional
Valve Amplifier card to the proportional valve, and the error between the two signals is driven to
zero.
It is possible to employ two PA96.2 (or PA89.2) cards instead of one PA96.3 (or PA89.3) card. The
terminals for the proportional pressure valve (K-terminals) on the second card would remain
vacant.
The figure below represents the proportional valve circuit. Although this drawing displays the
proportional pressure circuit, the proportional valve circuit for speed is essentially the same.

EC100 / CC100 - A03 MAINTENANCE:
PROPORTIONAL VALVE AMPLIFIER CARD DIPSWITCH SETTINGS
Valve Characteristics
To account for the differences between Bosch and Rexroth valves, mini dip switches are provided
on the Proportional Valve Amplifier card. Each series of three switches (i.e. Y1, Y2, K1) must be
in either the R (Rexroth) position or the B (Bosch) position.
It is possible to run the switches in the Rexroth position although a Bosch valve is being
controlled, and visa versa.
For example, if you replace the Proportional Valve Amplifier card or the proportional valve and the
resulting calibration is not satisfactory (i.e. unable to reach 100% speed or pressure), simply
adjust the dip switches to the other position and try re-calibrating.

The Engel SPI interface provides remote control of all auxiliary devices connected to the molding
machine via the controller screen.
The Engel SPI communication protocol is based on version 3.01 Sept 1990, of the Machinery
Division SPI Communication Protocol manual. For this version of the manual, eight auxiliary
devices have been defined as follows:
OPTION
2. Chiller 971
3. Dryer 972
4. Loader 973
CONTROL DESCRIPTION
The Engel controller is connected to the auxiliary device controller by a single RS485
communications cable. The cable is then jumped (daisy chained) to all other device controllers to
be connected.
Each device controller will locally control the device connected to it according to the set values
sent to the device controller by the Controller. Each device controller will report the actual values
and all alarms back to the Controller.
The EC100/CC100 controller will allow for input of auxiliary device set values and will display all
actual values and alarm conditions via the molding machine monitor. The Controller will accept set
value tolerances and generate alarms based on those values. All auxiliary device set values and
setup parameters will be saved on the machine mold setup floppy disk and thus will automatically
be updated during a mold change procedure.

CONFIGURATION
All device controllers must be intelligent and conform to the SPI RS485 Protocol.
In order to communicate with auxiliary devices, the device type and address must be correctly
set. The device type is set by default in the ENGEL control according to the SPI PROTOCOL (e.g.
Dryer device type is 22HEX). By default device addresses are 20HEX for every device type
supported by ENGEL. For additional devices with the same type, the address is incremented.
For example, a machine with one Dryer and two Mold Temperature Controllers would be
configured as follows:
Type Address
Dryer 22HEX 20HEX
Mold Temperature Controller 1 20HEX 20HEX
Mold Temperature Controller 2 20HEX 21HEX
Commands supported will be as defined in the SPI protocol as a "required" command. This will
ensure that the Engel Controller will efficiently communicate with any vendor's auxiliary device.
Additional commands will be offered by different equipment manufacturers, which can be
implemented depending on Engel customer requirements.
SPI ALARMS
There are two types of auxiliary device alarm codes available as follows:
1. Process Alarms - this is a 16 bit status word returned to the controller by the auxiliary device
• markers on the screen are set according to the 16 bit pattern
• the 16 bit word is also displayed on the screen for detailed analysis
• the bit pattern decode can be found in the SPI Communications Protocol
v3.01
• some device controllers will return a value of one, which means the device
is processing
2. Communication Alarms -
251 = Communication timeout
252 = CRC* - Error Integer
253 =
254 =
255 = CRC* - Error Float
If the optional host computer interface is installed, the interface connection would be conducted
through an SI (Serial Interface) submodule board.
If the SI submodule is employed, it would be mounted on the SC021 module. Each SC021 module
can handle up to two SI submodule boards. The SC021 module is mounted as standard on the
CU211 with 1 of the 2 submodule spaces employed as the floppy disk interface (SI-RS232). The
other submodule space is left vacant for optional interface connections, possibly a host computer
interface.
For any communication between the host computer and the Control System, the host computer
always plays the active part (i.e. master). For example, any set value can be called up by the host
computer and be updated. If updating is required the Control System keyswitch must be in switch
position "PR".
The Control System records errors which occur during the cycle into a special "Error Byte".
Periodically, the host computer will request an error update, and any existing error messages will
be displayed by the host computer in clear text on the screen.
INTERFACE DEFINITIONS:

9. Time limitation: If more than 2 seconds pass between each data word, the system
controller (Cont) stops and waits for a new call from the central
computer (CC).
25-Pin plug

" CC to Cont Data word not accepted. The reason is format error
or parity error. The data word is again transmitted by
the controller without control characters. This is
repeated twice, after which the communication is
interrupted.
The communication process is always initiated by the central computer. There are 2 types of 'Data
Posts' from the CC to the controller:
1. RGGKK
2. UGGKKXX...X
R (Report) means that this data post is a reporting telegram (Request to report).
U (Update) means that this data post is an updating telegram (Request to update).
There are also 2 types of 'Data Posts' from the controller to the CC:
1. XXX...X is a numerical value in free format. This format is used as an answer to a reporting
telegram. If the question telegram is not legal (GGKK combination does not exist), the letter
E instead of XXX...X is sent as answer.
2 - Updating not made because the value is outside the limit values.
3 - Updating not made because updating for the specified group and channel is not allowed.
4. SERVICE MENU
To gain access to the service menu for the first time or after the ACCESS END key has been
pressed, press F5 “Access rights”.
1 ACCESS RIGHTS
Press +
The machine is protected from unauthorized adjustment by various levels of user access.
The keyswitch on the side of the display cabinet has three settings, OFF, ON and PR. The
key can be withdrawn at any of the settings to lock the switch in that position. The switch
must be in the PR position for password entry to gain access to the higher levels of autho-
rization.
To gain access to the Service menu, a password must be entered. Depending upon the
level of password entered various stages of access are available.
On the “Access Rights” screen page, move the cursor to the required user level, enter the
appropriate password and press the enter key.
Superuser password
The Engel software service department can issue a temporary super user password. This
would be to enable customers to make certain changes, under the guidance of an Engel
service technician. These changes would normally only be possible under the Engel
Service password. The password will only be viable for a predetermined amount of time, as
decided by the Engel software department. Time may one day or one hour, as determined
by the task involved.
If an incorrect password has been entered, the message “Invalid password” will be
displayed.
As an option a magnetic card reader can be employed, negating the need for a keyswitch
or password levels. A card would have the password level granted to the user encoded on
a magnetic strip.
Inserting the card into the card reader, located on the side of the display cabinet, will
immediately give the user the access level granted to, that user. The access level will be
displayed on the top of the screen page. Removal of the card will immediately remove the
access level from the controller. The password card will not have the super user password
on them.
The system data report page will record the date/time and personnel number of the card
user.
The standard card as supplied by Engel will allow the same access level to all Engel
machines
Once the password has been successfully entered, press the “main Menu” function key
again and the following function frame will be displayed. The service function key has been
enable by the password entry. This function frame will remain until F2 “Access End” function
key is pressed or the “Control Voltage” is turned off.

4 VALVE CALIBRATION
PRESS
SERVICE PASSWORD
(8 - 2) + F2
NOTE!
This calibration procedure is for machines that do not have the Bosch EHV
“Smart” pump fitted.
The screen initially displays all the valves in the system concerned with SPEED. Pressing
the other function keys listed will display the valves concerned with those areas. The
rectangular boxes to the right indicate whether that particular function is calibrated. If the
function is calibrated the box will be lit. If the function is not calibrated the box will be unlit.
2... When the function key F3 is pressed to select the BACK PRESSURE calibration, a
blank screen image is shown, since the servo valve controls back pressure and its
calibration is completed in the 'SPEED' category.
2a.. When the function key F3 is pressed to select the BACK PRESSURE calibration, a
screen image similar to the one shown below is displayed.
This secondary field will only appear when the machine is not equipped with a servo
valve. If the machine is equipped with a servo valve, a manual back pressure
calibration is not required.
3... When the function key F4 is pressed to select the SCREW RPM calibration, the field
changes to a screen image similar to the one shown below.
The top left hand corner indicates which parameter is being calibrated (i.e. Speed), and
which specific hydraulic component is the subject of the calibration (i.e. Y - Valve).
The top right hand corner indicates the maximum value that this particular function is rated
for, when 100% is achieved. This is a value, which is stored in the machine set value
parameters and cannot be accessed by the operator.
The vertical axis of the graph represents the percentage value of speed in the graph shown.
This can represent percentage pressure or screw RPM on other calibration graphs.
The horizontal axis of the graph represents the analog voltage output from the Analog card
between 0 and ±10 volts. Notice that the servo valve calibration graph is governed by 0 to -
10 volts. The YS1/2-VALVE closing function is also governed by 0 to -10 volts.
On the bottom half of the calibration screen image is another separate menu. This is the
menu that the operator will use to control the calibration function.
F1 ... MAIN MENU
If the operator chooses F1 on the function key pad, the screen will revert back to the main
calibration screen image.
F2 ... INITIALIZATION
If the operator chooses F2 on the function key pad, the existing calibration stored in memory
is eliminated and replaced with a linear line. After this entry, 0% would be associated with 0
volts and 100% would be associated with plus or minus 10 volts. All points in between would
be linear.
F3 ... MEASUREMENT
If the operator chooses F3 on the function key pad, the calibration function will start. Please
note that some calibrations are automatic and would start the calibration function as soon
as the '2' is entered. Read the preliminary steps that are necessary before pressing this
particular key pad.
F4 ... CHANGE TAKE OVER
If the operator chooses F4 on the function key pad, the new calibration information, as
represented by the green line during calibration, would then be entered into memory.
This new calibration curve turns red and replaces the previous red curve. An acceptable or
satisfactory calibration should be similar to the previous curve. If there is a great difference,
or the +10V value is reached before the 100% value is attained (see sample graph below),
this calibration may be considered to be unsatisfactory.
WARNING!
The screen image will change to show two lines of text as shown below.
50.0 % = 5.125 V (White text)
0.0 % = 0.000 V (Yellow text)
The white text shows the percentage value and corresponding analog voltage output from
the Analog card. A percentage value can be entered and the corresponding voltage value
will be displayed. The percentage value can be stepped up or down using the up or down
cursor and the corresponding voltage output will be displayed.
If the cursor is positioned on the voltage value, a new value can be entered. The F1 function
key “Take over change” must be pressed to instigate the change, the calibration curve will
redraw to reflect the new value. In this way the manual calibration curves can be adjusted
at points in between minimum and maximum points.
NOTE!
Aside from these preliminary steps, the order of valve calibration is not important.

If the machine is equipped with two pumps, two separate calibrations must be completed.
On the secondary calibration menu for pressure, two choices are presented.
0 ... K VALVE (2 pumps)
1 ... K VALVE (1 pump)
During most of the machine cycle two pumps supply hydraulic fluid, but during hold
pressure only the variable displacement pump is engaged. The flow from the fixed
displacement pump is routed directly to tank. Therefore, to ensure an accurate hold
pressure when the second pump drops out of the circuit, both situations must have their
own calibration. Both choices have their own calibration graph.
This calibration is for machine from 55 to 200 ton that have a proportional valve to control
the pressure from the second pump.
There is a hydraulic pressure transducer mounted in the valve manifold.
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION (Hydraulic Pressure Transducer Required)
1... Press 'F3'.
2... The prompt for choosing automatic or manual will appear. Choose 'F2'. The control
system will step up the voltage, in 0.1 volt steps, to 10 volts ( or until maximum

NOTE!
The front half of the screw feed stroke should be used for back pressure
calibration. When the screw exceeds this position the carriage must be
moved back and the screw moved forward to the zero position. Re-
establish nozzle contact before continuing with the back pressure
calibrations.

It is important to have the strokes measured at their absolute minimum and maximum
values. For this reason, the stroke calibration should only be done when there is no mold in
the machine.
If any stroke limitation devices are installed on the machine, they must be adjusted so that
the maximum stroke can be achieved.
The procedure for each stroke calibration is outlined on the following pages.
Preliminary Steps
1... Set the Key switch to PR.
2... Switch to manual operation.
3... Start the electric motor.
4... Ensure that conditions exist to allow for the individual movements of the machine (i.e.
safety gate closed, nozzle protection closed, for mold closing, L - ejector retract
position, must be reached, etc.).
5... Acknowledge all errors so that new errors resulting from the calibration can be easily
identified.

The factory installed software is designed to accommodate a wide range of optional
machine extras. The machine supplied may not have all, or any, of the options that are
available, so certain digital inputs have to be forced active (Force Set 1) or inactive (Force
Set 0) to account for those options not fitted.
All the digital inputs can be forced active or inactive to allow maintenance or troubleshooting
to be performed on the machine.
Any manually forced digital inputs will return to their factory set state when the control
voltage has been turned off and back on again.

Functional testing of the analog card can be achieved by forcing the outputs to a
known state and checking with a volt meter that the output generated by the analog
card corresponds with the known state.
Analog outputs that are manually forced will return to their factory set state once the
control voltage has been turned off and on again.
MANUAL FORCING
If an output is forced set at the CPU, but does not appear at the relevant analog output port,
the analog card can be considered defective and must be replaced. Refer to the voltage
setting area of the Tests and Parameters analog output page, for the output value that
should appear at the analog card. Use a volt meter to check the analog output expected at
the analog card.
NOTE!
The voltage value shown on the display will not be exactly the
same as the reading on the volt meter, the reading should be
within a few hundredths of a volt. The reading, at the Analog
card, will depend on the accuracy and calibration state of the
volt meter used.

TEMPERATURE CARD CALIBRATION
Each Temperature Card is calibrated by the card manufacturer and the calibration data is
stored on the card EPROM chip.
However, since there are two main types of thermocouples, a temperature accuracy
problem could develop when replacing a defective thermocouple with the other type.
Therefore, a calibration procedure is required to compensate for the inherent differences
between the two thermocouple types.
The J-DIN thermocouple is European in origin and can be identified by its red and blue
leads. The red (iron) lead is positive and the blue (constantan) lead is negative.
The J-IEC thermocouple is North American in origin and can be identified by its white and
red leads. The white (iron) lead is positive and the red (constantan) lead is negative.

2 MOLD CLOSING
2.1 TYPICAL TOGGLE MACHINE

closing movement is not interrupted by the core moving-in.
S1 Mold closing
S10 Pump stage 1
S2.1 Suction valves opening (direct-closing machines)
S1.2 Build up high pressure in the closing system, de-energizes with start nozzle forward
S12A Regeneration connection, valve is ON for extra speed and OFF for high pressure.
*1 In manual and the first automatic closing, the ananlog signal for mold closing is delayed by
the time set in parameter 08481. During the delay time the suction valve opens.
*2 The high pressure analog output signal is delayed by the time set in parameter 08516.
*3 Activation of S1 is delayed by the time set in parameter 35286 after high pressure build up.
*4 This profile is only employed when the opening stroke is set greater than the maximum
opening stroke minus the stroke value set in parameter 10308.
*5 Refer to the mold protection profile.
*6 After the first automatic cycle the suction valve S2.1 remains open after mold opening.
The EHV pump electronics are optimized to provide the oil requirements of the injection
unit. The amount of oil required by the clamp is totally different and control cannot be
optimized with the injection unit parameters.
Therefore during pressure control the clampforce set value SK is typically exceeded by 15
- 20%. The check valves prevent the hydraulic peaks from exceeding the safe maximum.
When a new clampforce SK is entered or when the control voltage is switched on, the
clampforce pressure P1 is derived from the set value SK minus parameter 35962. This
parameter is set to a predetermined percentage of SK.
So we have P1 = SK - 35963 (% of SK).
At subsequent mold closings, the overshoot is measured and the amount the pressure
overshoots the set value plus a tolerance 35962 is subtracted from the clamp pressure for
the next mold closing, until the clampforce falls within the tolerance “deadzone”.
There is no minimum tolerance if the clampforce fail to reach the set value. In this case the
differance between the actual and set value is added to the clampforce for the next cycle.
This continues until the set clampforce is achieved.
The description of the diagram symbols and abbreviations relate to all the diagrams shown
for mold closing. Some information is only relevant to toggle machine and will be indicated
in the text of the description. All other descriptions relate to fully hydraulic machines.
On machines with a separate proportional valve on the clamping unit, the speed profile is
output to this proportional valve. Otherwise, the profile is run by means of the central
proportional valve Y1. The pressure profile is output to the K1 proportional valve.
In the "Set-up" program the pressure set by parameter 35086 is output during closing and
the speed is limited with parameter 35041(mold close set up speed).

NOTE!
Whenever the automatic/manual mode select switch is turned from manual to automatic,
the J-point position must be re-established by the controller.
The reason that the “J” point is erased after the automatic / manual switch is operated is
because you may have changed the mold or the nozzle. The controller has no way of
knowing if you have made these changes. The controller must have a zero reference point
for the nozzle so that injection will only occur when the nozzle is in contact with the sprue
bushing. Therefore, a new “J” point determination is conducted every time a new cycle
start is initiated (i.e. mode selection from manual to automatic). The first cycle is always
subject to a delay before injection and the timer Z5a does not function until subsequent
cycles.

• Hardware test
• Hardware information
• Software version
• System information
This page indicates how the hardware package of each machine is configured. The sample page
above shows the:
Refer to the Controller maintenance manual for a fuller description of all the possible cards used
in a machine configuration
When the control voltage is turned on, an automatic software test is conducted. Shortly after-
wards, relay 136 is energized which connects VK (solenoids) voltage to the controller.
At this time the controller will carry out a digital output failure test and will list the results of the
test on the hardware test page as shown above.
This area gives an indication of the digital outputs which are not normally connected or‚ if the
circuit has been found to be open during the hardware test. If the usual state of these outputs are
recorded, a new‚ problem could be easily identified when a comparison is made with this listing.
This area is strictly related to digital outputs..
DO321 #0 refers to the first digital output card, the list of outputs relate to the first card.
DO321 #1 refers to the second digital output card, the list of outputs relate to the second card.
NOTE!
If any Digital Output is short circuited during the machine cycle, the short cir-
cuited channel will appear just below the "circuit breaks" area, in yellow type on
the CC100. Refer to the description of Ebias errors for a listing of typical digital
output assignments and also to your own electrical interface diagram to identify
and locate the short circuit.
This screen page details all the electronic hardware information, the screen page shown is repre-
sentative of a standard machine, the information will be different for a customized machines.
This screen page indicates the software versions of the “system” and all the programmable
devices within the machine hardware.
Information within the Controller Operator and Controller Maintenance manuals may be
dependant upon the “system version” software.
Check this page to confirm which software version has been installed on your machine.
• A listing of the system drives. If the system contains a Ramdisk card or an extra memory
card, the memory size will be listed in this area.
• The number of the serial interface ports and their specific use.
Apart from the machine error messages accessible via the error message key on the front
controller faceplate, there are also System (SYS) and Ebias error messages.
When these types of error messages are present, they will be displayed on the first screen page
that comes up after the control voltage is turned on.
The system error code of three numbers indicates the electronic card that caused the system
error, the component of the system error and the error number within that component. For
example system error 81 / 1100 / 100 indicates that there is an “I / O error in creating the process
image” concerning the EBIAS Interpreter and that the CPU card is the cause of that error.
The code numbers for the electronic "smart" card are as follows:
81 is local, i.e. Main CPU
61 thru 64 are AR1x1 #1 - AR1x1 #4
41 thru 44 are RC100 #1 - RC100 #4
Generally, these types of error messages indicate "fatal" software or hardware troubles, which
provides Engel software technicians with valuable information on the nature of the problem.
Before anything drastic is attempted, try to reset the error by turning the control voltage 'OFF' and
then 'ON' again. It is advisable‚ to keep a record of any errors of this type and to contact Engel
service as soon as possible with this information.
A system error is displayed on the following output devices on the EC100/CC100 system:
• Monitor
• Status report (floppy disk, printer)
• Status LEDs
S Y S E R R 1100 / 100
SYSERR Shows component number / error number, and date and time.
MODULE Shows module version and module line number from which the system error
originated as well as the interrupt status.
INFO Details additional information showing length in bytes and contents in the form of

The Error number is then presented in the same manner. Add together the numbers that
correspond to the LEDs that are lit.
Component Numbers
The component number specifies the software component from which the system error has
originated.
The software components are subdivided into the following two groups:
Non-Application-Specific Components (General Software Library): these are software
components that are not allocated to any particular project and are therefore used in a wide
variety of applications (e.g. EEPROM drivers, interface drivers, operating system, etc.).
Application-Specific Components: these are software components that have been
developed specially for a particular application (EC100/CC100) (e.g. EBIAS interpreters,
data managers, etc.).
Two separate ranges of numbers have been allocated to the two different component groups as
follows:
1 ... 999 Non-application-specific components (general)
>= 1000 Application-specific components (EC100/CC100)
Important: Component 0 :
Component number 0 is reserved for “old“ EC100/CC100 system errors. These are system errors
invoked by “old” modules without component numbers.
The subdivision of system error numbers into general system error numbers and component-
specific error numbers does not apply to component number 0!
In contrast with the general system errors, the component-specific system errors apply only to the
specified component.
Error numbers 100 upwards are reserved for these system errors.
General Description
An EBIAS error is an error in the run-time program (EBIAS) which causes the run-time program
to stop running, i.e. the machine is stopped (operating system continues to run).
The occurrence of an EBIAS error on the EC100/CC100 system is indicated to the operator as
follows:
More precise information about the last EBIAS error that has occurred can be obtained from the
Status Report of the System Debugger.

There are 13 parameters per line arranged in columns. The following pages contain a description
of each of these parameters and how to use this program.
xPH: The proportional band in 0.2 OF (range 0.2..1800.0 OF).The temperature range
within which a proportional relationship between temperature difference
(setpoint - actual) and percent value of the clock time exists. Once the
temperature difference has exceeded this band, the heating/cooling output will
be active for 100% of the clock time (t0). A larger xPH will result in a smaller
amplification and vice versa.
tn: Reset time in 0.1 sec (range 0.0.to.6553.5 sec). This factor represents the
integral share and has a maximum limit of 255 x t0 (clock time). If a larger tn is
required, the t0 must be increased. The integral share has a stronger influence
the smaller that the tn setting is.
When tn = 0, the I share has no influence on the control loop.
tv: Rate time in 0.1 sec (range 0.0.to.6553.5 sec). This factor represents the
differential share and has a maximum limit of 255 x t0 (clock time). If a larger tv
is required, the t0 must be increased. The differential share has a stronger
influence the larger that the tv setting is.
When tv = 0, the D share has no influence on the control loop.
t0: Clock time of the control loop in 0.1 sec (range 0.1 to 999.9). A nominal setting
for t0 should be the amount of time required for the actual temperature of the
zone to increase 1.0 OC when heating at full capacity (100%). A maximum of 1
switching action shall occur during the clock time.
HKV: Heating/cooling ratio (range 0.10 .to. 1000). When a zone is used as a 3-point
temperature controller, the ratio of heating capacity to cooling capacity must be
set. If the heating capacity is equal to the cooling capacity then set HKV = 1.00.
When a zone is used as a 2-point temperature controller (for either heating only
or cooling only), set HKV = 1.00.
If a temperature zone is to be completely controlled by employing both heating
and cooling outputs, the variable HKV must be set.
e.g. if the actual value is 5 degrees below the set value, a certain heat output is
calculated based on the P.I.D. parameters and then applied to the zone.
If the actual value is 5 degrees above the set value, a certain cooling output is
calculated based on the same P.I.D. parameters, multiplied by HKV, and then
applied to the zone.
The HKV variable, represents a heating/cooling efficiency ratio. An HKV value
greater than 1 represents a zone which requires a greater output for cooling to
achieve a decrease of 1 degree than a heating output requires to achieve an
increase of 1 degree.
HKV = 1.0
This represents a zone which is equally efficient in cooling and in heating
Cb: oF: Cut back - proportional band for heating - up phase. (Range: 0.2...1800.0oF).
Using Cbh, a temperature value can be set, at which the controller switches
over from full heating capacity to PID control during the “heating - up” phase
before the set value has been reached. During the “heating - up” optimization
this “cut-back” value is automatically calculated. However, if poor transient
control occurs, this value can be adjusted manually. Cbh is disabled when set
0, and then switchover from full capacity to PID control occurs at Xph.
Emg-Mode : A YES / NO selector used to determine the action taken in the event of a
thermocouple break alarm for the zone where:
NO = the heat zone will not automatically switch over to open loop control mode
(default setting).
YES = the heat zone will automatically switch over to open loop control mode
and continue controlling the heat by the percent set value for that zone.
If the following three conditions are met, then the heating will continue without
errors in the regulation mode using a percentage output equal to the mean of
the Pakt % of the last 6 heat cycles:
NOTE!
If any one of these conditions are not met then the thermocouple
break error is displayed and the heats are shut down.
% Regul. A manual selector for the type of control loop that will be used by the zone (YES
= Open or NO = Closed loop). When set to NO, the setpoint for the zone will be
in oC and will be displayed as such on the appropriate heat display page. When
set to YES, the setpoint for the zone will be in percent and will be displayed as
such on the appropriate heat display page. The percent setpoints for open loop
zones can be set in a range from -100 to 100 and directly adjusts the ACTN
value for the heat zone. (see above)
Mode: The mode of zone operation (range 0..3). The access for setting this variable
requires password level 8 as a minimum. The modes of operation are:
0) no control function. The zone only monitors the actual value and, when the
setpoint is greater than 0.0 oC, will display temp. high, temp. low and
thermocouple break alarms.
1) open loop control.
2) 2-point controller for heating or cooling.
3) 3-point controller for heating and cooling.
Optimiz: A selector (ON/OFF) for initializing the self tuning of the P.I.D. parameters for
this zone (see the section on SELF TUNING).
Interl: When the indicator is colored, the temperature control loop for this zone has
been disabled by an alarm or the setpoint for this zone is at 0.
Each individual zone can be configured as an open loop control on the HEAT P.I.D. display page.
This enables the use of temperature control zones that do not have a thermocouple attached.
1.2.2 SELF-TUNING:
On the HEAT P.I.D. page, each zone has a selector for switching the self-tuning feature of the
Temperature Control card on or off. The self-tuning feature is used to determine the optimum
values for xPH, tn, tv and t0 (the P.I.D. parameters) for controlling the heat. Self tuning of the P.I.D.
parameters is a procedure that is carried out in much the same way as one would calibrate the
hydraulic pressure, for example. It is NOT a feature that is always running and adapting the values
of the P.I.D. parameters.
NOTE!
WHEN COMPLETED:
1. The mold and machine parameter disks (the “param.bin” file on machine parameter disk)
should be updated with the new temperature optimization PID values.
2. The plus and minus tolerances can now be reset to the desired values. The procedure is
finished.
With the Temperature Control card, all temperature setpoints and actual values are displayed in
0.1 degrees. Each heat zone has two setpoints; one in degrees for closed loop temperature
control and one in percent for open loop temperature control. Only one of these setpoints
(degrees or percent) is displayed depending on whether open or closed loop has been selected
on the P.I.D. setup page. For each zone a yellow screen flag is used to indicate whether the actual
temperature is within the + and - tolerance limits of the setpoint. When the thermocouple circuit is
open for a zone, the actual value display will change from numerical values to "*****".
An actual temperature that is less than the zone temperature setpoint minus the temperature "-"
tolerance will result in the display of one of the two error messages that indicate low temperature:
# 53."BARREL TEMP. LOW" or #125."MOLD TEMP. LOW". All screw movements shall also be
interlocked.
When a heat zone is selected for closed loop operation and the setpoint is greater than 0.0 "C but
the thermocouple circuit is open, error message number 67 "THERMOCPL.BRK Z.xx" will be
displayed where xx represents the thermocouple input zone number. The following actions shall
also be taken:
1. If the zone number is 0 (oil temperature), switching off the M1 output will disable the
motor(s) and the alarm lamp shall flash.
2. If the zone number is greater than 0, and the “Emg-Mode” selection on the P.I.D.
PARAMETERS page is at "NO", the heat control loop for that zone will be disabled, the
alarm lamp shall flash and further automatic cycling will be disabled.
3. If the zone number is greater than 0, and the “Emg-Mode” selection on the P.I.D.
PARAMETERS page is at "YES", the heat control will automatically switch to open loop
mode and automatic cycling of the machine will continue with that zone running open
loop heat control.
An actual temperature that is greater than the zone temperature setpoint plus the temperature "+"
tolerance will result in the display of error message number 65 "TEMP.TOO HIGH Z.xx" where xx
represents the heat zone number. The following actions shall also be taken:
1. The alarm lamp begins to flash,
2. Automatic cycling shall be interrupted and
3. Switching off the HZA output will disable all heating zones.
Error message # 70 "HEAT DEFECT. Z.xx" (where xx indicates the heat zone number) will occur
when the actual temperature for that zone fails to rise 2 "C when that zone's control loop is
performing the heating function. The following actions shall also be taken:
1. The alarm lamp begins to flash,
2. Automatic cycling shall be interrupted and
3. Switching off the HZA output will disable all heating zones.
Heat Grouping:
A temperature zone runs up to set value at start up without waiting for the zone grouping.
Solutions:
1. The problem can be caused by the incorrect setting of set value 35323. The set value
should be set to a '1'. If the machine is set to a '2' this will disable the zone grouping
Some machines with Temperature Control cards can experience an over temperature alarm that
will stop the machine but will not shut the temperature zone down. No message will appear on the
controller. The condition can only be cleared by turning the CONTROL VOLTAGE to OFF and
back to ON. Contact Engel service department if the problem persists.
Some machines with Temperature Control cards can experience a heating defective alarm that is
not valid. The alarm is normally displayed when an expected temperature change is not seen by
the controller. Turning the CONTROL VOLTAGE to OFF and back to ON can clear the invalid
alarm.
The invalid alarm is caused by a timing error or improper optimization of the Temperature Control
card.
Solution:
1. The EPROM on the Temperature Control card must be version 2.08 or greater.
2. The temperature zones operating points must be re-optimized.
Some machines with difficult temperature control applications may require manual tuning of the
PID's after the automatic tuning process is complete.
Using the PD GRAPHICS program, measure the cycle time of the temperature oscillation
'tk' and adjust the PID values for the zone as follows:
Using the PD GRAPHICS program, measure the cycle time of the oscillation 'tp' and adjust

2.1 P & V - CONTROL PARAMETERS
In order to fine tune the injection, hold pressure, and back pressure processes, a closed loop
control is provided. An actual value feedback signal is compared to a set value and any difference
or error that appears will be corrected by automatically adjusting the output signal to the valve.
This is the essence of closed loop control.
By comparing the voltage signal coming from the screw stroke transducer over time, the actual
value for speed control can be calculated.
The actual value feedback signal from the hydraulic pressure transducer, provides the information
required to control pressure.
The Control System will react to the feedback information and apply the closed loop control
signals based on the P.I.D. control parameters relevant to each function. It is important to note that
only one set of control parameters will be in effect at any one time. It is important to remember that
this program is only for fine tuning the process. Very good control is still possible with the factory
set values, but tampering with the settings by untrained personnel could disable the valve.
If you do change the existing values, keep a record of those values so you can always return to
the original set-up. A printout of the P & V CONTRL. PARAM page is the best insurance against
total confusion.
For further information on function keys F1, F2 & F3 please refer to operator manual.
Refer to the section "Adjusting P&V - Control Parameters" for a description of how to set each of
the 4 control areas.
Common to each zone are the variables: Kr, tn, tv, -umin and umax.
Kr Amplification factor - closed loop. (Proportional share)
tn Reset time in seconds (Integral share)
tv Rate time in seconds (Differential share)
umin Sets minimum valve limit
umax Sets maximum valve limit
Ks Amplification factor – open loop:
ustart Start value for back pressure control
The variables Kr, tn, tv, -umin and umax, the speed limit and the ON OFF variables, are all stored
on the machine parameter diskette.
Kr * (SV - AV)
If the present set value is greater than the present actual value, then the proportional
component will be positive. If the present set value is less than the present actual value,
then the proportional component will be negative.
Ks is an amplification factor, too little gain and the set value will never be reached. Too much
gain and the actual value will overshoot the set value and oscillate wildly about the set point.
An optimum value for Kr must be found that gives a fast rise time with little or no overshoot.
j=n-1
Tn * S (SV - AV) j
j=0
The integral components cover the full range of all set value/actual value differences. It
prevents a constant deviation of control which could result from using a proportional control
only.
Tn detects the steady state error and resets the actual value closer to the set value, the
higher the number the slower the response. Small numbers mean more resets in a given
time period.
tv Derivative action time instability (only use small values for optimization).
A INJECTION SPEED ON
Kr Tn Tv -umin umax ks
sec sec mV mV
600 0.000 0.00- 10 000 10 000 0.000
NOTE!
1. Set the machine to inject over the full stroke without material.
2. Use a stroke cut-off set at 0.3” to avoid a pressure increase when bottoming out the
screw.
3. Typical setting of Kr equals 600.
Set Tn Tv and Ks to zero.
Set -umin to -10 000 and umax to +10 000.
4. Set an extreme injection speed profile.
e.g. 80% 80% 80% 20% 20% 80% 80% 80% 80% 20%
5. Set up the Micrograph to monitor screw speed. Use a scale that reflects the percentage
speed settings in step 4.
P 35257 is a delay to allow the pump to stroke up before the servo valve begins
its control function.
This area of the P & V - Control Parameters is for the pressure limit feedback control. The
pressure limit P6, limits the hydraulic injection pressure if the pressure limit function is switched
on. If the pressure limit function is switched off, hydraulic injection pressure will be allowed to
reach maximum system pressure. However, in order to maintain speed control, actual hydraulic
injection pressure must not reach the P6 level. It must be at least 200-300 psi below the P6 level.
If the actual injection pressure does reach the P6 level during injection speed control, two things
will happen.
1. The control will switch to the above pressure limit feedback control. In effect, limiting
pressure at the expense of speed control
2. The screw position where control of the speed was lost (PHx = P6) will be indicated on
the set value graphics page by a vertical red line and by the variable Sp.
The Hold Pressure speed limit is defined by the set boost speed at the moment of boost to hold
pressure cut over. The boost speed profile is active from stroke position C1 to 0.0 inches. At the
cutover point the control has a set boost speed. This speed will be the speed limit during hold
pressure if parameter 9356 is equal to zero.
Continue to increase Kr to minimize overshoot but not too high or the valve will oscillate.
It is important to note that a slight overshoot will be difficult to avoid for the single P6 settings. This
control parameter is designed to operate with a changing pressure situation and in any event will
only be called upon when the pressure limit has been exceeded.
The pressure and speed limits serve a monitoring function and will only react when the injection
speed is out of control.
NOTE!
1. Move the screw forward without material, until the stop position.
2. Set the hold pressures to 1450 psi, the hold pressure time Z2 to 10 seconds, and the
injection time Z1 to 0 seconds.
3. Set up the Micrograph to monitor injection and hold pressure.
4. Manually activate the injection function and hold the switch until the end of hold pressure.
Kr is increased until the actual value begins to oscillate. Decrease Kr until the actual
value does not oscillate to achieve the correct setting. If Kr is increased too much, the
valve will become unstable.
Tn is then decreased until the given set value is reached in the shortest time possible or
exceeded without starting to oscillate.
Tv is usually left set to zero.
Alternately, adjust Kr and Tn until no further improvements are noticed.
The settings should now be optimized with material since the plastic cushion could affect
the control.
Typical settings: Tr approx. 70
Tn approx 0.700 seconds
umin approx. -5000mV
umax approx 5000mV
Ks: approximately 0.9 (Moog valve only)
The value from the linearization table multiplied the correction factor Ks is then added to the
calculated output.
With oil leakage compensation a portion of the integral share tn is covered by the compensation
and therefore the integral share tn of the PI controller can be decreased.
Another advantage of the oil leakage compensation is that when switching over into hold
pressure, the controller is switched to the open loop controlled value immediately, so that any
overswing can be avoided.

1. Set the screw refill stroke to half the maximum stroke and use a constant screw refill
speed. This adjustment can only be done with material.
2. Set-up the Micrograph to monitor back pressure. In order to use the Micrograph you
must first briefly turn the manual inject key to start the Micrograph and then turn the key
to the refill function.
3. Increase Kr until the Micrograph shows a tendency to oscillate.
4. Decrease Tn until the oscillations mostly disappear.
Typical settings: Kr approx. 200
Tn approx. 0.100 seconds
umin approx. -200 mV
umax approx +10 000 mV
ustart approx 2 000 mV
A value can be entered into “ustart” to dampen the effects of the change over from hold pressure
to back pressure.
When entering a value into “ustart” avoid setting the value too high, the greater the “ustart” setting
the lower the back pressure. 10 000 milliVolts equals no back pressure.
Set the “ustart” value close to the typical output for any particular back pressure setting. The back
pressure output can be monitored via the display of analog outputs. Analog output 00 is employed
for injection speed, hold pressure and back pressure.
Standard Procedure
k (increase)
k (decrease)
If there is more than one good setup, select the middle one (so that there is no borderline
situation). Use above procedure to do all parameters tn, kr, tv, tv2. If factor k is set below 10.0 all
control parameters are influenced.
8. APPENDIX
1 NOTES/CONVERSIONS
A. The Control System software program was written in Europe and reflects metric values.
If your machine has been ordered with imperial measurement values (i.e. psi, inches, Fahrenheit
degrees, etc.), a slight rounding error could be evident. The Control System first measures in
metric and then converts to the imperial measure.
For example, if you select 400 degrees Fahrenheit, the Control System might display 399
degrees. The Celsius temperature equivalent is converted to Fahrenheit degrees and a slight
rounding error would enter into the conversion.
As well, if a pressure reading is hovering at the transition point between two pressure values (e.g.
100 bar and 101 bar), a psi value, after the conversion, could fluctuate by 14.5 psi. (e.g. 1450 psi
and 1464.5 psi).
0 Celsius = 32 Fahrenheit
10 Celsius = 50 Fahrenheit
20 Celsius = 68 Fahrenheit
30 Celsius = 86 Fahrenheit
40 Celsius = 104 Fahrenheit
50 Celsius = 122 Fahrenheit
60 Celsius = 140 Fahrenheit

3 DIGITAL OUTPUTS
3.1 DIGOUT CARD 1
The inputs, outputs and output truth table for each powered safety gate types are given below.
Inputs: DITMS -cycle start button (optionally installed)
DITMGZ -gate close manual selector switch (not used with EL front panel)
DITMGA -gate open manual selector switch (not used with EL front panel)
DIE1 -gate closed limit switch
DIE30 - +24v = start slow gate closing speed limit switch
138 Safety gate strip. - This error is displayed when the control has detected
that one of the safety strips has been activated.
226 SPI switch required. - This error is displayed when a program selection for
the gate has been selected that will cause the gate to
open before the cycle is finished and the SPI key-
switch is currently off.
MANUAL OPERATION:
GATE OPEN:
To open the safety gate, the operator must hold the GATE OPEN manual selector switch
on until the gate has reached the open position. If the switch is released before the gate is
open then the gate will go into the idle state. If the gate reaches the gate is open limit
switch while the operator is still holding the GATE OPEN selector switch the gate will stop.
If the rear safety strip is touched while the gate is opening, the gate will immediately stop
opening and reverse direction for the time period set and then go to the manual state.
GATE CLOSE:
To close the safety gate, the operator must hold the GATE CLOSE manual selector switch
on until the gate has reached the closed position. If the switch is released before the gate
is closed then the gate will go into the idle state. If the front safety strip is touched while the
gate is closing, the gate will immediately stop closing and reverse direction for a set time
and then go to the manual state.
When the safety gate is in the idle state (not opening and not closing or closed), and either
one of the safety strips is touched, the gate will switch to the manual state.
If the gate is in the manual state and either gate opening or closing is selected, then the
gate will power itself up and move in the indicated direction clearing the error in the
process.
All manual gate functions are overridden by the gate program selector ( located on the
display page for MOLD OPENING, shown above) when it is in the off position (i.e. set
equal to 0).
AUTOMATIC OPERATION:
On machines equipped with cycle start pushbutton(s) (TMS), the safety gate will close in
automatic by either pushing and holding the cycle start button(s), or using the manual
selector switch for GATE CLOSE. The automatic cycle will not start until the cycle start
pushbutton is pressed with the gate in the closed position.
An automatic machine cycle will not be initiated while the "GATE SAFETY STRIP" error
message is displayed.
On machines without cycle start pushbutton(s) the automatic cycle will be started when the
gate has been opened and closed.
Opening the gate at any point during a fully automatic cycle will cause the cycle to be
interrupted.
The safety gate can be selected to open at various points in the semi-automatic cycle
depending on the selection made at the powered safety program selector switch where;
This selection can be found on the bottom of the mold opening page.
To operate selection 2 as listed above, the Cores + Ejector keyswitch must be activated. If
selection 2 is selected while the Core and Ejector keyswitch is not active, then the control
will switch you to selection 1 automatically and display the error “SPI SWITCH
REQUIRED”.
NOTE!
SGA output marker indicates that the digital output for the automatic safety gate opening has
been activated.
SGZ output marker indicates that the digital output for the automatic safety gate closing has been
activated.
SGN output marker indicates that the digital output for the air supply is active.
In all program cases, the safety gate will mot move beyond limit switch bSGA mounted on the
moving platen.
NOTE!
NOTE!
The current output device is displayed at the bottom of the “Printing” screen pages. The output
device can be selected on this screen page.
Move the cursor to the device required and press F1 “Select Device”.
The choices here are between FLOPPY DISK or RAM DISK. If FLOPPY is selected the data will
be saved to a floppy disk. If the RAMDISK is selected the data will be saved internally in memory
on the CPU card. Machine and process disk information can be saved to the RAMDISK. The
contents of the RAMDISK can be browsed from the “DISKETTE” functions screen page.
Hardcopy of screen pages: NO = WITH, YES = WITHOUT soft key function frame.
If the operator presses 'STOP PRINTING', the printing function will terminate as soon as the last
page, within the printer's memory, has been printed out.
Check your printer manual for the proper connection terminals, however, all printers must have
connections for RXD, DTR and SGND. The pin connections for the Engel controller appear as a
standard, on the left hand side of the drawing below.

The HP Deskjet uses a parallel port and a parallel printer cable when connected to a computer.
As the Engel controller only has a serial port, a serial to parallel converter is required plus a
special serial cable.
The converter can be purchased commercially or supplied by Engel (part # C2202.3032). The
cable can be supplied by Engel (part # 6750.950.1805C) or can be manufactured by the
customer, using the information in the figure above.
NOTE!
Ensure that the Control System printer baud rate is set to corre-
spond with the baud rate setting of the printer. The baud rate of
the Control System is adjusted using a software constant. The
baud rate of the printer is adjusted using DIP switches, or the
printer software, depending on the printer employed.
The controller baud rate is set in parameter 35593 by entering a number that corresponds to the
required baud rate, the choices are:
• 12 = 115200
• 11 = 57600
• 10 = 38400
• 9 = 19200
• 8 = 9600
• 7 = 4800
• 6 = 2400
• 5 = 1200
• 4 = 600
• 3 = 300
• 2 = 150
• 1 and 0 = Reserved
NOTE!
Engel machines use an LVDT (linear variable differential transformer), which is connected to a
movable rod inserted into one of the tie bars, to measure the exact amount of stretch. Based on
the amount of stretch, a specific electrical feedback signal is sent to the electrical control unit.
Typically, the amount of total tie bar stretch is usually within the range of 0.014” to 0.047" (0.35
mm to 1.2 mm), depending on the clamp force of the particular machine. The working range of the
transducer feedback signal is between +50mV as a minimum and +500mV as a maximum.

(fine adjustment)
With reference to the drawing above, as clamp force increases, the tie bar will stretch along its
total length. As the tie bar stretches, the disc springs will force the movable rod to the left. The
transducer pin, which is screwed into the movable rod, will move in unison with it as clamp force
increases. For every .01 of a millimeter that the transducer pin moves, a signal of approximately
+1.2 mV will be transmitted to the electronic control unit.

• Open the mold completely to the 'A' position.
• Screw the transducer pin all the way into the movable rod and tighten the fine
adjustment lock nut.
• With caution, screw the transducer housing in until you can just feel the transducer pin
bottom out within the housing and then turn the housing out again approximately three
complete turns.
• Connect the cable and then turn on the control voltage.
• Check the transducer supply voltage (+5 Volts) at the transducer plug, pins A and B.
Ensure you are reading plus millivolt to start.
• With your voltmeter leads across SK+ and SK-, adjust the offset voltage by turning the
transducer housing until you read the correct offset voltage (See note above). It will
be approximately +70 mV. The transducer has a range of -5 volts to +5 volts.
• Tighten the lock nut (coarse adjustment).
• If further adjustment is required, use the transducer pin position as a fine adjustment
and then tighten the fine adjustment lock nut after completion.
If full tonnage cannot be achieved after these adjustments, call the ENGEL

It is always easier to troubleshoot a problem when you know what to expect normally.
On the following pages, the steps are outlined to measure the normal signals that should be
present on the proportional valve circuit. As well, space is provided for you to record those
measurements.
Measure and record the measurements and keep this information for future troubleshooting
reference. Remember that valve calibrations may change some of these signals slightly, so keep
this document as your original and record your measurements on a photocopy. Re-record the
measurements after any valve calibrations.
• Check for 0-10 Vdc at K1 for pressure or at Y1 for speed, while the valve is operating.
NOTE!
• On the dc scale, check for a voltage across K1- and K1+ for pressure, and across Y1-
and Y1+ for speed, while the valve is operating.
• On the ac scale, check for the feedback transducer supply voltage across K1W1 and
K1W3 (not shield) for pressure and across Y1W1 and Y1W3 (not shield) for speed.
You should measure approximately 10 VAC.
• On the ac scale, check for a voltage across K1W2 and K1W3 for pressure and across
Y1W2 and Y1W3 for speed, while the valve is operating.
• As the valve function increases, pressure or speed, you should measure a increasing
voltage. From minimum to maximum valve function, there will be a voltage spread of
approximately 3/4 to 1 volt. For example, at 300 psi K-valve pressure to 2900 psi K-
valve pressure you might see a spread of 5.3 V a.c. to 6.3 V a.c., respectively.
NOTE!
