Touch this field to display a keypad for adjusting the maximum
percentage of power output that the system will be allowed to deliver to
a zone(s).
Slaving is sometimes necessary when a zone's thermocouple fails during
normal operation. Once a master zone is specified, the zone is able to
continue operation. The Slave To setting allows users to use the master
zone's power output percentage for the selected zone. A value of None
means that the selected zone is not slaved to any other zone.
The number of the thermocouple to which the zone is connected.
Changes the power output modulation for a zone during normal
operation. Choices are Zero Cross or Phase Angle.
Select one of the following heater types: none, tips, manifold, or sprue.
These settings are used to configure the power deviation alarm.
Automatic Manual Control (AMC) allows Altanium to automatically apply
a manual power output percentage to a heater based on a historical
average in the event a thermocouple fails.
The Priority Control Mode (PCM) controls how the controller will react in
the case of an abort condition.
The E/L setting allows users to turn on and off the earth leakage checking
feature for each zone.
Item
ART automatically adjusts the control algorithm to suit different heater
requirements. If a zone is not controlling properly the system allows users
to switch from the automatically adjusted ART algorithm to an algorithm
that can be manually adjusted (PID).
This is the proportional term value used by the control algorithm.
Possible values are: 0 – 250.
This is the integral term value used by the control algorithm. Possible
values are: 0 – 250.
This is the derivative term value used by the control algorithm. Possible
values are: 0 – 250.
