7.3.5 Changing the Sensor Assignment
The Sensor Assignment function allows the operator to assign any thermocouple to control
any heater. This is important in the instance where thermocouples or heaters in the mold are
mis-wired.
For example, Heater number 1 is connected to thermocouple 5 and heater number 5 is
connected to thermocouple number 1. In this instance the operator can manually switch the
thermocouple inputs by changing the Sensor Assignment. The default setting is Sensor 1 is
matched to heater 1.

7.3.6 Changing the Priority Control Mode (PCM) Setting
If there is a malfunction during normal operation, the software will make every attempt to
circumvent the problem. If this is impossible, it will initiate a shutdown sequence. The
operator must specify what to shut down if this happens.
In the case of an Abort condition, if PCM is set to ZONE, the control will turn OFF only the
defective zone and continue to operate all other zones as normal. If PCM is set to SYSTEM, the
controller will shutdown all power output to the mold (if the failure occurs on this zone). The
PCM is zone selectable, so one zone may only shut itself OFF and another may shut down the
controller. What the operator sets this to all depends on the zone and how critical it is to the
mold. Usually the cavities are set to Zone and the manifolds are set to System. The default
setting is SYSTEM on all zones.

7.3.6.1 The Optional Priority Control Mode (PCM) Digital Output
If the PCM digital output option is turned on, it will be activated ONLY when a zone set to
System experiences an abort condition. It will remain in this state until the PCM error is reset.
