Section 5 - Setup
WARNING
Ensure that you have fully read “Section 3 - Safety” before setting up the
E-Drive controller.
It is the responsibility of the integrator to understand and follow international
and local standards for safety of machinery when integrating the E-Drive
controller into the molding system. This responsibility includes providing
necessary e-stop connections, safety interlocks and guarding to protect
operators.
The E-Drive controller should be located in such a way that the main
disconnect is easily accessible in case of emergency.
The E-Drive controller is shipped with a power cable which is a correct size
to run the system. When you install a connector on the cable, ensure that
the connector can safely withstand the full system load.
The E-Drive controller supply should have a fused disconnect or main
circuit breaker according to local safety codes. Refer to the serial plate on
the controller cabinet for confirmation of the supply requirements. If the
local supply is outside the specified range, please contact
Mold-Masters
for
advice.
WARNING - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
It is crucial to comply with these warnings to minimize any personal danger.
• Ensure that all energies are properly locked out in the controller and
molding machine before installation of the controller into the system.
•
DO NOT enter the cabinet without first ISOLATING the supplies.
There are unguarded terminals inside the cabinet which may have a
dangerous potential across them. Where a three-phase supply is used,
this potential may be up to 600VAC.
• Voltage and amperage cables are connected to the controller and the
mold. There is also a voltage cable connection between the servo motor
and the controller. Electric power must be shut off and lockout / tagout
procedures followed prior to installing or removing any cables.
• Integration should be done by properly trained personnel based on local
codes and regulations. Electrical products may not be grounded when
removed from the assembled or normal operating condition.
• Do not mix electrical power cables with thermocouple extension
cables. They are not designed to carry the power load or list accurate
temperature readings in each other’s application.
• Integration should be done by properly trained personnel based on local
law or regulation requirements. Electrical products may not be grounded
when removed from the assembled or normal operating condition.
• Do not mix electrical power cables with thermocouple extension
cables. They are not designed to carry the power load or list accurate
temperature readings in each other’s application.
