Product Manual | Lynx™ Shielded Analog Output Module OA1‑M‑V RJG, Inc. 1
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Lynx shielded analog output module
is a DIN‑rail‑mounted module the is wired
to the molding machine in order to output
a 0–10 V DC signal representing molding
parameters or as an external machine transfer.
APPLICATIONS
PROCESS MONITORING AND CONTROL
The eDART system requires various inputs
from the injection molding machine in order to
accurately calculate significant process values for
monitoring and control.
The OA1‑M‑V supplies an output from the
eDART to the molding machine to control
machine transfer.
OPERATION
The OA1‑M‑V is often used to provide outputs
to the injection molding machine controller
collected by the eDART.
PLASTIC PRESSURE OUTPUT
The OA1‑M‑V is used to provide a signal to
the injection molding machine to indicate
the machine to transfer from pressure to
hold (V→P). The shielded output module
cable C‑OA1‑M‑3M is wired to the machine
input card which accepts the signal; the
C‑OA1‑M‑3M is connected to the OA1‑M‑V,
which collects the signal for use from the
eDART. In the eDART software, the module is
configured to enable V→P.
STROKE OUTPUT
The OA1‑M‑V is used to provide the molding
machine with the stroke output collected
by the eDART. The shielded output module
cable C‑OA1‑M‑3M is wired to the machine
input card which accepts the signal; the
C‑OA1‑M‑3M is connected to the OA1‑M‑V,
which collects the signal for use from the
eDART.
VELOCITY OUTPUT
The OA1‑M‑V is used to provide the molding
machine with the velocity output collected
by the eDART. The shielded output module
cable C‑OA1‑M‑3M is wired to the machine
input card which accepts the signal; the
C‑OA1‑M‑3M is connected to the OA1‑M‑V,
which collects the signal for use from the
eDART.
MACHINE CONTROL, FLOW VALVE, AND
PRESSURE VALVE OUTPUTS
In some circumstances, the OA1‑M‑V can
be used to provide a machine control, flow
valve, or pressure valve output (from eDART
software v9.xx only). These instances are
often specialized and infrequent; refer to RJG
customer support for more information on
these uses.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
The shielded machine interface modules are
mounted to a solid surface, such as the machine
frame, inside the molding machine on a DIN
rail.
OA1‑M‑V
The shielded analog output module cable
C‑OA1‑M‑3M is wired directly to the machine
(to an input card) on one end, and connected
to the OR2‑M on the other using the four‑pin
connector. The shielded analog output module
is connected to the ID7‑M‑SEQ (or DIN/LX‑D),
or other shielded module using the integrated
amphenol connector.
eDART CONNECTION
A Lynx cable CE‑LX5 is connected to the Lynx
port on the ID7‑M‑SEQ and a Lynx port on
the eDART to provide it with the machine’s
sequence signals for process monitoring and
control calculations, along with the other
installed machine interface module signals.

INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
The instructions that follow are a general guide;
actual steps necessary to install this product
will vary based on injection molding machine
manufacturer, model, and options.
A clearance height of 6” (152 mm) from the face
of the module(s) is recommended for mounting.
REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION Before beginning OA1‑M‑V
installation, disconnect and lockout/tag‑out any
and all power to the molding machine. Failure to
comply will result in personal injury or death, and
damage or destruction of equipment.
MOUNTING
Mount the OA1‑M‑V module to a solid
surface—such as the molding machine frame—
using the supplied 1.38” (35 mm) DIN rail. A
clearance height of 6” (152,4 mm) from the face
of the module is recommended.
NOTE Modules and connecting cables must
be located away from any static sources, such as
feeder tubes and material hoppers.
WIRING
The OA1‑M‑V is interfaced to a machine’s input
card. The C‑OA1‑M‑3M cable has color‑coded
wires to simplify installation. Refer to the table
at right for the correct wire/signal combinations
for installation.
OUTPUT TYPE SIGNAL COLOR
0–10 V DC Positive Signal (+) Brown
0 V DC Negative Signal (‑) Black
No Connection N/A Blue
No Connection N/A White
CONNECTIONS
Connect the OA1‑M‑V module to the shielded
sequence module ID7‑M‑SEQ—or shielded
communications module DIN/LX‑D—using the
integrated, side‑mount amphenol connector.
Connect the C‑OA1‑M‑V cable to the OA1‑M‑V
module.

MAINTENANCE
The shielded analog output module requires
little to no maintenance provided that all
installation instructions are followed.
CLEANING
REGULAR CLEANING
Cables must be installed in areas free from oil,
dirt, grime, and grease.
RJG, Inc. recommends the following cleaners:
• Microcare MCC‑CCC Contact Cleaner C
• Microcare MCC‑SPR SuprClean™
• Miller‑Stephenson MS‑730L Contact Re‑Nu®
TESTING
OA1‑M‑V
Test the OA1‑M‑V outputs after assignment
using the Sensor Locations tool in version 9
software, or in Machine Setup utilities in version
10 software.
WARRANTY
RJG, INC. STANDARD WARRANTY
RJG, Inc. is confident in the quality and
robustness of the shielded analog output
module, and so are offering a one‑year
warranty. RJG’s products are guaranteed against
