Setup Requirements
Before the Co-Extrusion process can be used in G2, the following requirements must be met.
Steps 2 through 6 are outlined in the Quick Start Guide. For information on YDLX (single
extruder), YDLT (single extruder), or YLDD (co-extruders), refer to your Blender Manual.
1. All Blenders must have the *02 function set to EXT CRTL, YLDX, YLDT, or YLDD . See
your blender manual for addition information on these parameter values and their function.
2. In a Co-Extrusion setup, one blender (master) must have the *02 function set to YLDD . The
blender set to YLDD must have the CPL parameter set prior to selecting any yield
configuration. See Control Setup for Extrusion section in this manual for further
information on CPL. All other blenders must be set to EXT CRTL (slave) .
3. All Blenders within the Co-Extrusion process must have a unique I.D. set using the *66
function.
4. All Blenders within the Co-Extrusion process must be added to the Blender Edit screen.
5. All blenders must have a State of On Line in the Blender Edit screen.
6. A Line must be created using the Blenders that are part of the Co-Extrusion process.
The following steps are optional and not require to run extrusion control.
7. If materials are to be tracked by a material name, the materials need to be entered into the
G2 database using the Material Edit screen.
8. Blender Recipes are then built from Materials in the Materials list and then added to the
Recipe Database. If you plan to use the blender recipe feature of G2 with LIW controllers
see the above section on creating recipes.
After following the above steps, you are now ready to begin using the Yield screen to control the extruder(s) and the downstream equipment.
