Recommended Practices for Die Casting Machine and Ancillary Equipment Electrical Interface (PDF) 231 K

This technical report presents an electrical interface for die casting machines and ancillary equipment where the die casting machine controller is responsible for managing the interaction between it and the ancillary equipment. The purpose of this report is to provide guidelines for electrical interfaces between ancillary equipment and die casting machines. The objective of this report is to standardize electrical interfaces between the die casting machine and ancillary equipment as well as to specify electrical connections for those standard interfaces. This report addresses interfaces between the die casting machine and ancillary equipment such as metal delivery systems, die lubrication systems, and casting extraction systems where the die casting machine controller manages interaction between the controller and the ancillary equipment. This report does not address a communication protocol for the transfer of data between control devices.
