Scope and Application This EUROMAP recommendation defines the connection between the injection moulding machine and the handling device. This is intended to provide interchangeability. In addition recommendations are given for signal voltage and current levels. The mains connection of the handling device is also specified. 2. Description The signals in both the injection moulding machine and the handling device are given by contacts, e.g. contacts of relays or switches, etc.. The contact making is either potential-free or related to a reference potential supplied to a contact of the plug mounted on the injection moulding machine or the handling device (see tables 1 and 2). The signals shall be available in all injection moulding machines and handling equipments. 2.1 Plug and socket outlet The connection between the injection moulding machine and the handling device is achieved by the plugs specified below. For the injection moulding machine the plug contacts 1 to 16 are male and the plug contacts 17 to 32 are female. All the plug contacts should be capable of taking a minimum of 250 V and 6 A.

Table 1: Injection moulding machine signals Plug contact |Signal designation|Description No le Emergency stop The switch contact must be open 9 of machine when the injection moulding machine emergency stop device (see EN 60204- 1) is being actuated. Opening the switch contact causes emergency stop of the handling device. The current of the signal must not exceed 6 A. 2 Mould open The switch contact is closed when position mould opening position is equal or (handling device) |more than required position. Inadvertent alteration to mould opening stroke smaller than that required for the handling device to approach must be impossible. The switch contact must remain closed as long as the mould is open and must not be interrupted by a change of operation mode or safety guard opening.page 4/11 EUROMAP 12, Version 1.1, Mar. 1993 Plug contact No Signal designation Description 3, 11 Safety devices of machine The switch contact is closed when safety devices (e.g. safety guards, footboard safety, etc.) on the injection moulding machine are operative so that dangerous movements of the handling device are possible. The signal is active in any operation mode. The signal must be the result of limit switch contact series of mould area safety devices according to EN 201. The current of the signal must not exceed 6 A. Ejector back position The switch contact is closed when the ejector has been retracted regardless of the moving platen position. The signal is the acknowledgement for the "Enable ejector retraction" signal (see plug contact No 21), when the ejector sequence is selected. It is recommended to close the switch contact when the ejector sequence is not in use. Ejector forward position The switch contact is closed when the ejector has been advanced. The signal is the acknowledgement signal for the "Enable ejector advance" (see plug contact No 22). It is recommended to close the switch contact when the ejector sequence is not in use. 6 optional Core pullers in position 1 (Core pullers free for handling device to approach) The switch contact is closed when the core pullers are in position 1 (see contact No 24, see chapter 4). It is recommended to open the switch contact when the core puller sequence is not in use. 5 optional Core pullers in position 2 (Core pullers in position to remove moulding) The switch contact is closed when the core pullers are in position 2 (see contact No 23, see chapter 4). It is recommended to open the switch contact when the core puller sequence is not in use. 8 optional Reject The switch contact is closed when the moulding is a reject. The switch contact must close when the mould is open and must remain closed at least until "Enable mould closure" (see plug contact No 17.). It is recommended to close the switch contact already when the mould opening starts.EUROMAP 12, Version 1.1, Mar. 1993 page 5/11 Plug contact |Signal designation|Description No 10 Enable operation |The switch contact is closed when with handling the injection moulding machine is device set to semiautomatic or automatic (Automatic) mode. If the switch contact is opened during the operation mode of the handling device "Operation with injection moulding machine", it is recommended that the handling device continues its automatic cycle until the end position. 12 Mould closed The switch contact is closed when the mould closing is completed. Note: The signal "Enable mould closure* is then no longer required (see plug contact No 17) 13 Not fixed by EUROMAP, manufacturer optional dependent 14 Intermediate The switch contact is closed when optional |mould opening mould opening reaches a set position position smaller than mould opening position (see plug contact No 2). The switch contact remains closed to the end of mould opening position. Two sequences are possible with this signal: a) Mould opening stops on intermediate position and gives start signal to handling device. Mould opening restarts with the signal "Enable full mould opening" (see contact No 28). b) Mould opening does not stop on intermediate position, however gives the signal to handling device. The switch contact is open when intermediate mould opening position is not in use. 15 No part available |It is recommended not to use this optional signal for future applications. 16 Handling device (corrected against older version of reference BUROMAP 12) potentialpage 6/11 EUROMAP 12, Version 1.1, Mar. 1993 Plug contact No Signal designation Table 2: Handling device signals Description aq Enable mould closure The switch contact is closed when the handling device is retracted enough for start of mould closure. The switch contact must remain closed at least until "Mould closed" (see contact No 12) is available. If the switch contact opens as a result of a fault, mould closing must be interrupted. The signal "Enable mould 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 switch contact must be closed if the handling device is switched off. It is recommended to close the switch contact when the handling device is unselected. 1s 26 Mould area free ‘The switch contact is closed when the handling device is outside the mould area and does not interfere with mould opening and closing movements. The switch contact must be opened when the handling device leaves its start position. If the switch contact is open neither opening nor closing of the mould may occur. The injection moulding machine must ignore this signal when mould opening is carried out after intermediate stop (see contact No 14), if the optional sequence is selected on the injection moulding machine. The signal must have the described effect even when the handling device is switched off. It is recommended to close the switch contact when the handling device is unselected. The current of the signal must not exceed 6 A. 19 Emergency stop of handling The switch contact must be open when the handling device emergency stop (see EN 60204-1) is being actuated. The switch contact opening causes emergency stop of the injection moulding machine. The switch contact must be operative if the handling device is switched off. It is recommended that the switch contact is operative when the handling device is unselected. The current of the signal must not exceed 6 A.EUROMAP 12, version 1.1, Mar. 1993 page 7/11 Plug contact |Signal designation|Description No 20 Handling device |The switch contact is open when the operation mode handling device mode switch is (operation with |*Operation with injection moulding handling device) |machine*.
