I've been asked to quote a job to upgrade controls on an old injection molding machine. The current controls are made up of about 10 separate modules networked together, each with a specific task.
I am not familiar with current methods of controlling an injection molding machine. What is the currently preferred method for controls on an injection molding machine, a PLC to control everything? The customer specifies AB. Is a Contrologix platform capable of handling all of the tasks on this machine (e.g. temperature control, ram positioning, etc.)?
