Sterling SSC1-5Q service manual 6Configurable Settings, Options for Station Setup

Page 26

6Configurable Settings

This section describes the proper setup of the SSC1-5Q control system parameters. These parameters are operator changeable; however, these items should require setup only during the initial installation. Only authorized personnel should change them.

Many of the variables and setup parameters have been preset at the factory and do not need to be changed. However, this section of the manual will address all of the setup parameters that were available at the time of printing. The purpose of this is to familiarize the reader with all the setup parameters and their usage.

6-1 Options for Station Setup

Name

Description

Default

Conveying Components

 

 

Convey time

Length of time the station’s vacuum valve remains open to

15 sec.

(CONVEY)

allow material to be drawn in. (For a volume-fill station, the

 

 

valve closes when material covers the station’s volume-fill

 

 

proximity sensor or this time elapses, whichever comes first.)

 

 

Adjust this value to match the actual time needed to fill the

 

 

station. To disable a station, set the convey time to Ø

 

 

(zero).

 

Dump delay

Length of time allowed for material to drain from the station into

10 sec.

(DUMP)

the receiver. The controller will not attempt to deliver more

 

 

material to the station until this time has elapsed.

 

 

Adjust this value to match the actual time needed to drain the

 

 

station. If it is set too short, the controller may attempt to refill

 

 

the station before it is empty, causing material to back up

 

 

and/or underusing the station’s capacity. If it is set too long, the

 

 

system may be unable to keep up with your equipment’s

 

 

demand for material. DO NOT SET TO “Ø”.

 

No convey

The controller issues a “no convey” alarm if it has repeatedly

3

(NO CONVEY)

attempted to convey material to the station but the flapper

 

 

never opened during the dump delay. (The number of attempts

 

 

is controlled by this setting.)

 

 

The setting for this option depends on (a) how much material

 

 

your injection mold uses to make each part compared with the

 

 

capacity of the receiver and (b) how important it is to keep your

 

 

injection mold from running out of material and shutting down.

 

 

A higher setting will give you fewer alarms, at the risk of

 

 

emptying the receiver without warning. A lower setting will give

 

 

more frequent alarms, at the risk of disrupting operations

 

 

unnecessarily. DO NOT SET TO “Ø”.
