Lynx™ devices are digital and contain electronics that make them “smart” and self-identifying. The following — section provides specifications and installation instructions for these devices. Atypical eDART System™ includes the following Lynx™ devices: > Mold pressure sensors > Machine mount devices (hydraulic, stroke, velocity, light tree) > DIN Rail I/O modules Attach devices to one or both Lynx™ ports on the eDART System™ using Lynx™ cables. Please attach all devices before powering up the system, It is not necessary to connect all of the devices and connectors shown in Figure 1, only the ones you need to operate your particular DART System™, Typical full DART System™ and Lynx™ Network layout. en On RUG, Inc. eDART™ 2 AppendixJLX8 Junction Box Injection Mold r Lynx Hydraulic Sensor ‘A [Delta Pressure Sensor | M_ [Lynx Stroke Encoder B | Piezo Adapter N_ | JL<4 Junction Box © [Lynx Cable © |eDART™ D_| Piezo Sensor P |JLX-1 Cable Feed Through E [Lynx Piezo Sensor Q_| Sequence Input Module F_ [Lynx Sensor R_ |0-10V/4-20mA Input Module G | Strain-Gauge Sensor S$ _|0-10V Output Module H_ [Bendix Cable T. | Dual Relay Output Module’ 1_| Strain-Gauge Adapter U_| EMI Noise Free Machine Panel J [Lynx Cable V_ [Mold Platen K Ww x eDART™ Connections Table 1: Figure Labels for eDART™ System RUG, Inc. eDART™ ‘AppendixLynx™ DIN Rail Mounted I/O Modules Note that each individual system and system parts may vary.

These signals indicate to the eDART™ when important events occur during the machine cycle and they help synchronize signals from the hydraulic and mold pressure sensors to the actions of the machine for display in the software. ‘Table 5 details these signals in order of importance to the software. If none of these signals is available, please contact your RG, Inc. representative for alternatives or more information.

In the event the cavity pressure transfer control input is not seen by the machine controller, the backup setpoints will prevent damaging the tool. Care should also be taken when interfacing to part containment equipment to ensure adequate safety backups are in place.
