When used in a network system, Nordson melters always operate as slaves.

Although most melter functionality can be set/monitored using network

communications, some functionality is considered inconsistent with network
usage and is therefore not accessible. Non‐supported melter functions are:

S Clock
S Password protection
S PID selection (DuraBlue melters only)
S pump‐off delay (DuraBlue melters only)
S Hose 1 and 2 solenoid activation (DuraBlue melters only)

Intended Use
This manual is intended for use by experienced PLC engineers.

The CC-Link network card is intended to be used only as described in this

manual. Any other use is considered to be unintended. Nordson is not liable
for personal injury or property damage resulting from unintended use.
Intended use includes the observance of Nordson safety regulations.

Special Instruction for Installation in the EZ Melter

The EZ Melter requires two cables to be installed with the CC−Link card in
order for the system to fully function. These cables are included in the
CC−Link card kit.

1. After the CC−Link card has been attached to the CPU card as
shown on the previous page, connect the shorter cable to the four
pin connector on the underside of the CPU as shown in Figure 3.

Other Functionality
Melter Control Panel Lock‐out
When password protection (melter parameters 10 and 11) are enabled with a
network card installed, all operator panel controls are disabled.

Melter Operational Modes

Melters with a network card have two operational modes: local and remote.
The default is the remote mode. The mode may be selected through the
melter operator panel.

Local Mode
The local mode of operation is used mainly to view data for maintenance and
repair purposes. In this mode, the melter operates like a melter that does not
include a network card:

S Control access is only via the melter operator panel

S Parameter input is only via the melter operator panel
S Through the master, all parameters can be displayed but not
changed. The master can always read actual values.
To place the melter in the local mode, change Parameter 14 (External Comm
Lockout) to 1.

Remote Mode
When the melter is in the remote mode of operation, it can be operated from
both the master and the melter operator panel:

S Setpoints and system parameters can be entered through the master

or the melter operator panel.
S If control of the melter exclusively through the master is desired, you
can enable password protection (melter operating parameters 10 and
11), which locks‐out operation of the melter using the operator panel.
Refer to the melter product manual for information on enabling
password protection.
NOTE: When a network card is installed in the melter, enabling
password protection will disable all melter operator panel input,
including the Heaters, Pump, and Standby keys.

To place the melter in the remote mode, change Parameter 14 (External

Comm Lockout) to 0. This is the default setting.

Troubleshooting
If there is a problem communicating with your network card, please use these
troubleshooting tips:

S First, look at the four status LEDs on the card. Do they give an
indication of a problem? Most often, a problem indicated by the status
LEDs is caused by a cabling problem or the PLC is not correctly
configured to communicate to the card. Please see the table in the
Status Indicators section of this manual for details.
S Next, verify that the address of the card is set correctly.
S If the melter is displaying the F4/E error code but is otherwise
communicating with the PLC, please verify that the PLC code is not
writing an illegal value in the ‘Command’ byte in the index protocol.
The only legal values in the Command byte are 1 (No Command), 3
(Read) and 6 (Write). Please see the Indexed Data Interface section
of this manual for details.
S If none of the above steps solve the problem, please contact Nordson
Technical Service at 1-877-NORDSVC or at
[email protected]

Appendix A
For developers who do not use the PLC tag structure, or for developers who
wish to program custom software in combination with the PLC tag structure,
a custom programming method is available. This appendix describes that
method.

Indexed Data Interface

When data is transmitted from the Nordson melter to the master and vice
versa, the data is accessed via indexes. The data available via CC-Link are
shown in the Communication Data List. The indexing method allows a
smaller data packet which prevents the network from being loaded with
unnecessary data.

Indexed Protocol Data Processing

S The master formulates a command by determining the transmission data
packet. The Nordson melter processes the command and formulates the
reply telegram.
S The master processes the data or repeats the command until a reply is
received from the Nordson melter. Only one command is processed at a
time. The Nordson melter keeps the reply available until the master
formulates a new command.
S When a Command can not be executed, the Nordson melter replies with
a fault signal in the Status. The master recognizes by this identification
whether the previously transmitted command was correctly processed by
the Nordson melter.
S The master has to check that the acknowledge data Data index and
Channel number from the Nordson melter are the same as the data in the
transmission data packet.

E 2018 Nordson Corporation Part 1126743_01

26 Mitsubishi PMI Starter Kit for EZ Melter and AltaTT

Transmit and Receive Packets

The master sends a transmission packet to the Nordson melter. This packet
contains a command that the Nordson melter is to process.

Transmit packet Data

Table 2 lists the transmit packet data.

S Communication is done with two data packets: Receive and Transmit

(from the master's viewpoint).
S The Receive and Transmit data packets are instances 100 and 150
respectively.
S The data packets always have the same length: 16 bytes, consistent.

Command
The master must send a command to the Nordson melter. Each command is
defined by a command identification.

Table 4 Command Identifications

Command Function
1 dec No command for the Nordson melter
3 dec Master wants to read data from the Nordson melter
6 dec Master wants to write data to the Nordson melter

Any other command identification is not valid and will generate a

communication fault in the status data packet.

If the command is 0 (zero), a “host communication failure” will be generated

at the melter. This functionality operates for communication monitoring and
master life guarding.

Data Index
The indexes in the data index packet correspond to those in the
Communication Data List at the end of this section.

The range of data indexes is 0 to 255. A data index set to 0 (zero) is

interpreted as “no data index.”

Channel Number
The master must select a channel number that is valid. Refer to Channel
Number List later in this section for the channel number descriptions (such as
for a temperature channel).

Beginning with the selected channel number as a start channel, the

command for reading data is processed for the six successive channels.

Write Data Value

In the write data value data packet, the master writes the data values used to
enter settings in the Nordson melter.

Example: Master sets the Ready Delay parameter to a value of 25minutes.

Transmit packet Data Channel Number Value

Write data value of channel number 0 25 dec (25min)

Read Data Value

In the read data value area, the master reads the data received from the
Nordson melter. The read data values of six successive channels are
transmitted with each packet (where applicable).

Example: Master reads actual temperature values; channel number is set

to 9.

Table 7 Read Data Values

Receive packet Data Temperature Channel Value
Read data value of channel number 9 150 dec (150 _C)
Read data value of channel number + 1 10 151 dec (151 _C)
Read data value of channel number + 2 11 160 dec (160 _C)
Read data value of channel number + 3 12 165 dec (165 _C)
Read data value of channel number + 4 13 172 dec (172 _C)
Read data value of channel number + 5 14 180 dec (180 _C)

NOTE: If the master sets the command or data index to 0 (zero) in the
transmit packet, the read data values are set to 0 (zero) from the melter.

Example: Master sets data index to 0 (zero).
