(Female)
Signal Designation Description
A1
C1
Emergency stop of
handling device /
robot Channel 1
The switch contact must be open when the handling device /
robot emergency stop is being actuated. The switch contact
opening causes emergency stop of the injection molding
machine. The switch contact must be operative if the handling
device / robot is switched off. It is recommended that the
switch contact is operative when the handling device / robot is
unselected.
A2
C2
Emergency stop of
handling device /
robot Channel 2
The switch contact must be open when the handling device /
robot emergency stop is being actuated. The switch contact
opening causes emergency stop of the injection molding
machine. The switch contact must be operative if the handling
device / robot is switched off. It is recommended that the
switch contact is operative when the handling device / robot is
unselected.
A3
C3
Mold area free
The switch contact is closed when the handling device / robot is
outside the mold area and does not interfere with mold opening
and closing movements. The switch contact must be opened
when the handling device / robot leaves its start position. If
the switch contact is open neither opening nor closing of the
mold may occur. However the injection molding machine may
ignore this signal when mold opening is carried out after e.g.
an intermediate stop (See contact No ZA8), if the optional
sequence is selected on the injection molding machine. The
signal must have the described effect even when the handling
device / robot is switched off. It is recommended to close the
switch contact when the handling device / robot is unselected.

A5
Not fixed by EUROMAP, manufacturer dependent.
A6
Enable mold closure HIGH signal when the handling device / robot is retracted
enough for start of mold closure. The signal must remain HIGH
at least until "Mold closed" (See contact No ZA6) is available.
If the signal is LOW as a result of a fault, mold closing must be
interrupted. The signal "Enable mold closure" must not be a
logical "or" with either other signals, e.g. "Close safety guard" or
a push button in any operation mode. The signal must be HIGH
if the handling device / robot is switched off. It is recommended
to have HIGH signal when the handling device / robot is
unselected.
A7
Optional
Enable full mold
opening
HIGH signal when the handling device / robot has taken the part
and allows to continue mold opening. The signal must remain
HIGH until "Mold open" signal is given by the injection molding
machine. See contact No ZA7.
