Hi everyone,
I'm an intern working on a project to collect real-time production data from our injection molding machine, and I could use some advice.
Machine:
Goal: Collect process data (temperatures, pressures, cycle times, part count) via a Raspberry Pi 4 already installed on the machine.
Current issues:
Hardware already in place:
I'm still learning, so any beginner-friendly guidance, documentation links, or experience shares would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Khelifi
I'm an intern working on a project to collect real-time production data from our injection molding machine, and I could use some advice.
Machine:
- Arburg 420 C 1000-290 (March 2019)
- Clamping force: 100 tonnes
- Control system: SELOGICA Direct
Goal: Collect process data (temperatures, pressures, cycle times, part count) via a Raspberry Pi 4 already installed on the machine.
Current issues:
- Which communication protocol should I use? (OPC UA, RS232/V24 with 3964R, Euromap?)
- How do I configure serial communication parameters in SELOGICA Direct?
- Any example scripts or libraries for reading Arburg data with Python?
Hardware already in place:
- Raspberry Pi 4
- 5V power supply, Ethernet + serial connectors
I'm still learning, so any beginner-friendly guidance, documentation links, or experience shares would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Khelifi
