Product Manual | Lynx™ Shielded Sequence Module ID7‑M‑SEQ RJG, Inc. 1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Lynx™ shielded sequence module is a
DIN‑rail‑mounted module that is wired to the
molding machine in order to collect 24 V DC
timing signals for use with the
eDART
®
system,
including injection forward, screw run, mold
closed/clamped, first stage, and mold opening.
The use of an ID7‑M‑SEQ (or a
DIN/LX‑D) module is required to physically
connect to the
eDART system.
APPLICATIONS
PROCESS MONITORING AND CONTROL
The eDART system requires various inputs
from the injection molding machine in order to
accurately calculate significant process values for
monitoring and control.
The ID7‑M‑SEQ gathers the machine sequence
state signals from the injection molding machine
for the
eDART .
The eDART performs computations using
the machine sequence state signals from the
injection molding machine for various process
parameters during a typical cycle. In order for
these to be accurate, the
eDART generates
internal machine sequence signals. These
sequences are not necessarily wired to the
sequence module, but can be created from
signals collected from the module.
For example, the plastic cooling machine
sequence is not directly derived from the
molding machine, instead it is calculated by the
eDART using the mold open signal—a machine‑
outputted sequence signal.
