Product Manual | Lynx™ Digital Flow‑Temperature Interface Module IA2‑M‑DFT RJG, Inc. 1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Lynx™digital flow‑temperature interface
module IA2‑M‑DFT provides all the inputs
and outputs needed to interface the eDART®
System to Smartflow®’s TracerVM™with User
Interface line of flowmeters. The IA2‑M‑DFT
is shielded to ensure high quality data even in
rugged molding environments and is designed
for use to with other Lynx shielded interface
modules.
APPLICATIONS
PROCESS MONITORING AND CONTROL
The IA2‑M‑DFT is used to connect a
Smartflow® TracerVM™with User Interface
flow‑temperature meter to the eDART system
for process control and monitoring purposes.
OPERATION
The interface module can measure either the
total flow input to the mold or to individual
circuits, or water input temperature to the
mold or to individual circuts. When interfaced
with the eDART system, the IA2‑M‑DFT and
Smartflow® TracerVM™ with User Interface
flow‑temperature meter allows users to
perform a variety of funcitons.
FLOW
•
Reject parts if the flow doesn’t meet set
requirements to make a good part
•
Create a template of the flow
•
Overlay GPM curves on the cycle graph
•
Set alarms around peak values of the coolant
flow
•
Set excessive rejects to stop the machine if
the coolant flow alarms rejects parts more
than the set thresholds
TEMPERATURE
•
Determine if the water temperature control
unit is delivering the correct temperature
needed to make good parts
•
Reject parts if the temperature doesn’t meet
set requirements to make a good part
•
Create a template of the coolant temperature
•
Overlay temperature curves on the cycle
graph
•
Set alarms around peak values of the coolant
temperature
•
Set excessive rejects to stop the machine if
the coolant temperature alamrs rejects parts
more than the set thresholds
