Section 7 - System Setup
WARNING
Ensure you have fully read “Section 3 - Safety” before setting up the E-Multi
injection unit.
7.1 Connection of the Controller to the E-Multi
Injection Unit
There are 3 sets of cables that connect the controller to the E-Multi injection
unit:
1. servo power cables
2. servo feedback cables
3. heater - I/O - injection molding machine cables
The correct sequence must be followed when installing the cables. The
servo power and feedback cables need to be routed through the cable track
before being connected to the motors. The heater and the I/O cables can
be connected directly and are not routed through the cable track. All cables
should be routed so they do not interfere with the mold or molding machine
operation.
7.1.1 Route and Connect Servo Cables
WARNING
Make sure that the cables are connected to the correct motors. Cables and
motors are clearly labeled. Reversing the cables can result in unexpected
and uncontrolled motion causing a safety risk or damage to the machine.
1. Uncoil the servo cables and make sure they are not damaged or twisted.
2. Route the servo power cables on the higher side of the track, closest to
the motor. Route the servo feedback cables, lower in the track, as far as
possible from the motor.
