Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the control systems used in BOY injection moulding machines, focusing on two main systems: dipronic® and Procan MD®. These systems are designed to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and ease of operation of the machines.

Dipronic® Control System
The dipronic® is a hardware control system based on CMOS technology, widely used since 1981. It is ideal for situations where only a few mould changes are needed, offering operational reliability and low costs. The system is user-friendly, allowing for on-site repairs and quick spare part availability. It is used in BOY 22 D machines, with data entry via decade switches and settings for pressures and speeds in digital form. The system supports standard options and future upgrades.

Hardware and Operation
The dipronic® system features microelectronic circuits on plug-in boards, providing high response speeds. It includes a multi-zone temperature control system with PID algorithms and overheat protection per EN 60204 standards. The system is intuitive, using symbols for input, making it accessible to operators of different nationalities. It can be displayed on BOY 55 M and BOY 90 M machines with Procan MD® screen control.

Procan MD® Control System
The Procan MD® is a microprocessor control system used in BOY M series machines, known for its precision and reliability. It controls essential process parameters and offers a user-friendly interface with push-buttons and screen pages. The system allows for comprehensive process documentation and monitoring, with alarms for parameter deviations.

Process Data and Security
Procan MD® records process data, supports statistical process control, and allows for parameter tolerance monitoring. Unauthorized access is controlled via a keycard system with different priority levels. Setup data is saved in EEPROMs, with optional disk drive interfaces for additional storage.

Hardware and Advantages
The Procan MD® combines hardware and microprocessor control advantages, offering precise response times and eliminating variations in process control. It includes standard features like a disk drive and hydraulic ejector, with optional Procan MD® display in dipronic® format for multilingual operation.

Conclusion
The document highlights the strengths of both control systems, emphasizing their reliability, precision, and user-friendly design. The Procan ALPHA® control is also mentioned as a new development, promising precise and rapid operation.

Spritzgiessautomaten 2 dipronic ® dipronic ® - simple - economical - reliable The dipronic ® is a hardware control system with microelectronic circuitry based on CMOS technology. More than 12,000 BOY injection moulding machines have been equipped with this control system since it was introduced in 1981. Its long period of service and frequency of use have made this control system an .industrial standard.. Use of the dipronic ® control system is always appropriate if only a small number of different moulds have to be changed occasionally or if the parts to be produced make it possible to dispense...

Spritzgiessautomaten Procan MD ® 4 Procan MD ® - precise - powerful - manageable The BOY injection moulding machines series M are equipped with the microprocessor control system Procan MD ®. The compact design and simple operation hide the immense efficiency of the Procan MD ® for which reliability is of top priority. Complex and also exceedingly small injected components can be produced with high precision and repeatability. All of the essential process parameters, such as temperatures, pressures and speeds, are controlled by the Procan MD ® for both the injection and clamping unit. In addition...

Spritzgiessautomaten 5 Procan MD ® Process data of the Procan MD ® Complete documentation of the production process can be ensured in several ways. Twelve freely selectable parameters can be recorded either as hardcopy or on to floppy disk. Further, this data can be shown either for each successive cycle or in the form of mean values. Procan MD ® delivers process monitoring trends (process control charts) for statistical process and quality control. The mean values with standard deviation can be graphically displayed on one screen for any two process parameters. Tolerance limits can be assigned...

Spritzgiessautomaten 6 Procan MD ® Unauthorized access to the Procan MD ® is prevented by a keycard. The keycard is of the same size as a credit card and available with three different priority levels. If the keycard is not inserted, the operator can merely check the settings and start the machine with the existing set parameters. When the keycard is inserted, the operator can access the input fields according to the given priority level. The main setup data records are saved in two stages. Frequently used setup data is saved directly in an electronic memory module (EEPROM). This permits rapid...

Spritzgiessautomaten 7 Procan MD ® Procan MD ® with dipronic ® display The screen display of the Procan MD ® can be changed and replaced by the familiar layout of the dipronic ® control simply by replacing an optional EPROM in the control system. Use of a machine control system which is not based on language is particularly advantageous when the machine is operated by people of different nationalities. Setpoints and actual values are read directly from the screen and entered via the keyboard. The control elements installed on the control cabinet of the dipronic ® system are not required in this...
