7.2 Connection to a Robot
E-Multi units are compatible with both E67
and SPI robots. In all cases, the controller is
shipped with a robot jumper plug.
If no robot is used, connect the robot jumper
plug to the “ROBOT E67” connector on the
controller (see Figure 7-4 on page 7-3).
If an E67 robot is to be used, connect the
robot’s E67 cable to the “ROBOT E67”
connector on the controller. If an SPI robot is
to be used, attach the optional “ROBOT SPI
ADAPTER” to the “ROBOT E67” connector on
the controller, and connect the robot’s SPI cable
into the “ROBOT SPI ADAPTER.”
7.3 Connection of the Controller to the Molding
Machine
E-Multi injection units are compatible with both E67 and SPI injection
machines. All units ship with an injection molding machine E67 cable. The
cable always connects to the injection molding machine E67 connection
on the controller. If used with an E67 injection molding machine, the cable
plugs into the injection molding machine’s E67 connection directly. If an SPI
injection molding machine is used, the cable plugs into the optional Injection
molding machine SPI adapter, which then plugs into the injection molding
machine SPI connection.
7.4 Connection a Handheld HMI (Optional)
E-Multi units are available with optional handheld Human Machine Interface
(HMI) units to allow control of the E-Multi injection unit when access to the
controller is inconvenient. The handheld HMI connects to the “HANDHELD
HMI” connector on the controller (see Figure 7-4 on page 7-3).
IMPORTANT
If a handheld HMI is not connected then a jumper plug is required.
