XFC | eXtreme Fast Control Technology for plastics machines

XFC represents a control tech-nology that enables very fast and highly deterministic re-sponses. It includes all hardware and software components in-volved in control applications: optimised input and output com-ponents which are able to pick up signals with high accuracy or initiate tasks, EtherCAT as very fast communication network, high-performance Industrial PCs and TwinCAT, the automation software that links all system components.

Compared with current PC-based controllers, XFC offers performance improvements by a factor of 10 and enables cycle times of 100 µs, without giving up central intelligence and associated high-perfor-mance algorithms.

With the aid of XFC tech-nology for plastic machines, system reaction times are short-ened drastically, switchover to holding pressure becomes more precise and time-critical process variables such as pressures and positions are acquired in time frames of 10 µs. In combination with electrical drive technology, XFC increases the precision of machines and thus reduces part weight fl uctuations.

Measuring tasks or docu-mentation of parts quality can simply be integrated in the machine control without addi-tional, costly special devices.

XFC technology is fully com-patible with existing automation solutions, so that standard tasks and fast control and measuring tasks can be processed in paral-lel on the same hardware and software platform.

Fast and extremely deter-ministic response times are achievable via various techno-logies such as oversampling and time stamp or by using fast I/O terminals.

Oversampling

The signal curve can be precisely determined with the aid of over-sampling technology. In combi-nation with the time stamp func-tion, reproducibility is increased drastically in comparison with classic solutions. The injection process can thus be adjusted more precisely; part weight fl uc-tuations are minimised.

Time Stamp

Digital actuators are switched at precisely defi ned rate times to an accuracy of < 100 ns. In-expensive hydraulic axes can also be moved with the highest reproducibility by the use of this ultra-precise time stamp. This enables higher speeds and increased operational safety, for example for ejectors in combina-tion with handling systems.

Reduction of material consumption

The reproducibility of the injec-tion process is increased by the combination of XFC technology with new drive technologies. Ultra-precise holding pressure regulation improves the quality of the parts and enables a narrower processing window. The user is hence able to select a process set-ting with lower material reserves, resulting in lower material con-sumption. Signifi cant cost savings have been achieved in practical applications.

XFC reduces raw material consumption and increases part qualityProduct quality and process safe-ty can be increased by detecting fast-changing input signals such as injection pressure or closing force with high time resolution.

The pressure switchover point can be determined with the highest precision using over-sampling technology. The repro-ducibility of the response time is increased; amount and gradient of control values can be calcu-lated in relation to the point in time of the switchover event. The injection process can thus be adjusted more precisely; part weight fl uctuations are mini-mised.

High resolution analog inputs often create process images with interfering signals. In conventional technology, the input signal is processed using analog low-pass fi lters. With the high sampling rate of oversamp-ling technology, digital fi lter algorithms are possible. Time-critical sensor signals with high frequency components are pro-cessed with high reproducibility. This allows optimisation of the sensitivity of the mould safety algorithm, for example.
