This EUROMAP recommendation defines the connection between the injection moulding machine (IMM) and
the mould changing device (MCD). This is intended to provide interchangeability.
In addition recommendations are given for signal voltage and current levels.
The following situations are covered:

Version 1.4

2 Description
The signals in both the IMM and the MCD are given by contacts, e.g. contacts of relays or switches, semiconductors, etc. The contact making is either potential-free or related to a reference potential supplied to a contact
of the plug mounted on the IMM or the MCD (see Tables 1 and 2). All signals which are not optional shall be
supported by all IMMs and MCDs.

2.1 Plug and socket outlet

The connection between the IMM and the MCD is achieved by the plugs specified below. For the IMM (see
Figure 2) and the MCD (see Fig. 1) the plug contacts should be capable of taking a minimum of 250 V and 10 A.
Arrangements of pins and sockets viewed from the mating side (opposite the wiring side).

Version 1.4

2.2 Contact specification

2.2.1

Emergency stops, safety devices

The voltages of the signals must not exceed 50 V DC

A current of at least 6 mA must be maintained during signalling.

The maximum current is 6 A.

2.2.2

Logical Signals

These signals shall be in accordance with clause 3.3.1 of EN 61131-2, Table 9, Type 2 or with clause 3.3.3
of EN 61131-2,Table 11, 0,1 A max.

2.2.3

Reference potential (Table 1: ZA9, ZC9 and Table 2: A9, C9)

Voltage

18 36 V DC

Overlayed ripple

max. 2,5 Vpp

Withstand against overvoltage

up to 60 V

Current

max. 2 A

min. 10 ms

2.3 Plug contact assignment

Notes on the tables below:

Unless otherwise noted, the switch contacts are switching the reference potential on plug contacts: Table1 /
No ZA9 (IMM signal) and Table 2 / No A9 (MCD signal).

All signals are continuous signals unless otherwise noted.

The signals are conducted from the signal source to the respective pin.

Apart from the MCD signal "Emergency stop " (Table 2; A1/C1) the signals can assume any status when
the MCD is switched off.

Apart from the IMM signals "Emergency stop " (Table 1; ZA1/ZC1) and Safety devices (Table 1; ZA3,ZC3)
the signals can assume any status when the MCD is switched off.

The switch contact is closed when safety devices on the IMM are operative (e.g. guard of the
mould area opposite the mould change side is closed and/or sensitive floor in the mould area
is not actuated) so that dangerous movements of the MCD are possible. The signal is active
in any operation mode.

ZA5

Request: Operation by IMM

HIGH signal when there is a request to operate the MCD by the IMM.

ZA6

Operation by IMM

HIGH signal when the operation of the MCD by the IMM is active. (The IMM is either in the
automatic mould change mode or the movements of the MCD are controlled by actuators on
the IMM.)

ZA7

Enable table movement

IN/OUT

HIGH signal when the IMM is ready for the table to move into or out of the IMM (mould in
position and unclamped, ejector not connected, guard of the mould area at the mould side
open). This signal shall not be used to start the movement.

ZB2

Move mould OUT

HIGH signal when the IMM is ready to move the mould out of the IMM (e.g. mould
unclamped, guard of the mould area at the mould change side open, MCD in change
position). This signal is used to start the movement. The movement shall continue as long as
the signal is HIGH.

ZB3

Move mould IN

HIGH signal when the IMM is ready to move the mould into the IMM (e.g. no mould in IMM,
guard of the mould area at the mould change side open, correct mould height). This signal is
used to start the movement. The movement shall continue as long as the signal is HIGH.

ZB4

Move table A in position

To move table A in position in front of the guard of the mould area. The signal shall remain
HIGH until B4 changes to HIGH.

ZB5

Move table B in position

To move table B in position in front of the guard of the mould area. The signal shall remain
HIGH until B5 changes to HIGH.
