Embodiment Construction

[0040] 1 Introduction

[0041] The advantages of the present invention will be described with respect to a plastic injection molding system or machine such as that described in co-pending US Application Serial No. 09 / 166738, filed October 5, 1998, which is incorporated herein by reference. However, the invention is not limited to this embodiment, but can be used in any molding technique within the scope of the following claims.

[0042] 2. Structure

[0043] The control structure according to the present invention provides both real-time control of the injection molding system and real-time interface with operator control. The structure also includes the human-machine interface (HMI) required for the operation and monitoring of the injection molding system, as well as the interfaces for exchanging information with the factory and corporate headquarters. Combine software and hardware to convert a general purpose computer into a system controller that not only controls machine...

Abstract

Apparatus and method for controlling a molding machine includes structure and function for a human machine interface control panel having: (i) a flat panel display screen; (ii) a pointing device; (iii) a plurality of pushbuttons overlaid with or without icons; (iv) a housing containing the above and the associated electronics; (v) structure to uniquely identify each users preferred configuration; (vi) structure to connect to a remote controller for both digital information and video signal communication; (vii) a connection for receiving external power to drive the panel's electronics and display; and (viii) software running in the remote controller to provide all the operating functions of the human machine interface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for controlling molding machines, and more particularly to a human-machine interface in the form of a control panel of a machine controller which controls and monitors molding systems (such as metal or plastic injection molding machines) The operation and processing of products and related equipment (such as robots or other product handling equipment). The invention also relates to human-machine interfaces that provide the means for the operator to simplify and optimize the operation of the manual functions of the machine. Background technique [0002] A machine human-machine interface consists of a display, an optional pointing device, and buttons that provide functions for data entry, screen selection, machine operation selection, and manual operation triggering. In molding systems, each individual machine manual operation is assigned its own dedicated button. The more complex the injection mol...
