What You Need

Cat6 Ethernet cableIncluded in kit
Flowstate CL260 edge nodeIncluded in kit

Customer provides:

  • EUROMAP 77 license (contact Arburg)
  • Network access

Physical Connection

  1. 1

    Locate the control panel network port

    The Allrounder GESTICA control has an RJ45 Ethernet port on the rear of the control column. Earlier SELOGICA controls have a separate Ethernet module.

  2. 2

    Connect Ethernet to edge node

    Run Cat6 from the machine network port to the Flowstate CL260 edge node. Use a static IP in the 10.0.100.x range.

  3. 3

    Verify EUROMAP 77 option

    On the GESTICA touchscreen, go to Setup > Communication > EUROMAP 77. Confirm the OPC-UA server is listed. If not present, contact Arburg for licensing.

Machine Configuration

  1. 1

    Enable EUROMAP 77 OPC-UA server

    GESTICA: Setup > Communication > EUROMAP 77 > Enable. Note the OPC-UA endpoint URL (format: opc.tcp://<ip>:4840).

  2. 2

    Configure namespace

    EUROMAP 77 standardizes the data namespace for injection molding machines. Key nodes: cycle time, clamp force, barrel temperatures, shot count, machine state.

Verification

  1. 1

    Browse OPC-UA namespace

    Connect to opc.tcp://<machine-ip>:4840 using UaExpert or Flowstate diagnostics. The EUROMAP 77 namespace should show standardized machine data.

  2. 2

    Verify in Flowstate

    Machine appears in dashboard with cycle time, temperatures, clamp force, and shot count within 60 seconds.

Available Metrics (8)

Machine state (running/idle/fault/setup)
Cycle time (seconds)
Clamp force (kN/ton)
Barrel zone temperatures (°C)
Injection pressure (bar)
Shot counter (total and shift)
Screw position (mm)
Cooling time (seconds)
