The control device of an injection molding machine is mainly divided into two modules: HMI (Human Machine Interface) which is used for operating the molding machine and SEQ (Sequence Control) which is used for controlling the operations of the molding machine. In recent years, the HMI demands higher levels of network, high capacity data management, installation of peripherals, and multi-language applications and the SEQ demands higher levels of high cycle, multiprecision, and responsiveness. Moreover, it is important for them to be diverted easily to various special machines to reduce costs and to curtail the period of development and delivery. In order to realize a reasonable high function HMI and high performance SEQ, a control device "N8 Controller" which adopts Windows CE has been developed and mounted on SED. The features of the N8 controller are as follows: 1) Superior functions of waveform diagram, quality control by the collection and analysis of high capacity data. 2) Realization of a support function utilizing the operability of the universally used Windows. 3) Application to network (LAN).
