Section 15 - Euromap 67
15.1 Scope and Application
This EUROMAP 67 recommendation defines the connection between the
injection molding machine and the handling device / robot. This is intended to
provide interchangeability. In addition recommendations are given for signal
voltage and current levels.
Please note that the risk assessment for the movements of the handling
device / robot mostly require redundancy which is achieved by two channels
on ZA3, ZC3 and ZA4, ZC4 on the injection molding machine. EUROMAP
12 shall therefore only be applied for replacement purposes on existing
equipment.
15.2 Description
The signals in both the injection molding machine and the handling
device / robot are given by contacts, e.g. contacts of relays or switches,
semiconductors, etc. The contact making is either potential-free or related
to a reference potential supplied to a contact of the plug mounted on the
injection molding machine or the handling device / robot. All signals which
are not optional shall be supported by all injection molding machines and
handling devices / robots.
15.3 Plug and Socket Outlet
The connection between the injection molding machine and the handling
device / robot is achieved by the plugs specified below. For the injection
molding machine and the handling device / robot the plug contacts should be
capable of taking a minimum of 250 V and 10 A.

No. (Male)
Signal Designation Description
ZA1
ZC1
Emergency stop of
machine
channel 1
The switch contact must be open when the injection molding
machine emergency stop device is being actuated. Opening the
switch contact causes emergency stop of the handling device /
robot.
ZA2
ZC2
Emergency stop of
machine
channel 2
The switch contact must be open when the injection molding
machine emergency stop device is being actuated. Opening the
switch contact causes emergency stop of the handling device /
robot.
ZA3
ZC3
Safety devices of
machine
channel 1
The switch contact is closed when safety devices (e.g. safety
guards, footboard safety, etc.) on the injection molding machine
are operative so that dangerous movements of the device /
robot are possible. The signal is active in operation mode. The
signal must be the result of limit switch contact series of mold
area safety devices according to EN 201.
