Page 12: 2) Changing The Number Of Zones Displayed
2.3.2) Changing the number of zones displayed It is possible to zoom in or out so as to display more or fewer zones. This allows an overall view of the system showing fewer details for each zone, or alternatively to view more information of a smaller number of zones.
Page 13: 2) Zoom In Or Out Using The Navigation Icon
2.3.2.2) Zoom in or out using the navigation icon Pressing the navigation icon in the Action bar brings up a double icon bar with the following actions: Icon Action Scroll up, equivalent to moving towards the ﬁ rst zone. Scroll down, equivalent to moving towards the last zone. Zoom in, display fewer zones but with more detail.
Page 14: Using The System
3) USING THE SYSTEM In order to use the system correctly, it is necessary to conﬁ gure it properly before you use it for the ﬁ rst time. This greatly facilitates daily use. The software also has advanced features including remote operation and customizable company information.
Page 15: 2) Regional Parameters
Heating neutralization input action This option is used to select the action of the HEATING NEUTRALIZATION input (see §6.4 of the Operating instructions). This input makes the system switch to the ‘Stop’ or ‘Gradual stop’ states. To restart heating, changing the input is necessary, but not enough. The Operating mode selector of the screen must be used (except for the last option: see the list of options below).

Minimum automatic mode setpoint and maximum automatic mode setpoint Maximum and minimum setpoints can be speciﬁ ed for the automatic mode. Abnormally high temperature threshold This value determines the temperature above which an Abnormally high temperature alarm is triggered, even if the zone involved is stopped. Changeover to manual mode if a thermocouple is cut If a thermocouple is cut, the zone concerned switches to manual mode, with the last power percentage applied.
Page 19 Start-up ramps: On start-up, the zones in automatic mode are heated gradually until they reach their operating setpoint. There are four possible types of start-up ramps: Duration ramp Gradient ramp The system heats at the maximum gradient of A, The system heats at the maximum gradient of A. then maintains the temperature at B for a period During cooling, gradient E will be applied of C minutes.
Page 20: 3) Heating Zone Confi Guration
and E ramp gradients: A and E ramp gradients determine the heating / cooling gradient and thus the instantaneous power consumption. Settings will therefore be done according to criteria of technical necessity and the need to limit the peak current during heating. Optimized power consumption AND non-optimized heating time.
Page 21 The values which appear on the screen are those common to the selected zones. For values which are not identical for all the selected zones, the following symbol will appear: ---. Only changes in these values will be applied to the selected zones upon validation. Modiﬁ ed values appear in red.
Page 22 On/Oﬀ The selected zones can be turned on or oﬀ by pressing the "ON" and "OFF" icons. Operating mode and setpoints Heating zones can be controlled automatically or manually In automatic mode a setpoint is speciﬁ ed in °C or in °F and the control system automatically selects the power to be applied to the zone in order to bring that zone up to the selected temperature and keep it there.

Page 24 Temperature alarm trigger thresholds Zone temperature is monitored in automatic mode. If this temperature rises above or falls below the setpoint, a High or Low Temperature Alarm is triggered. Alarm trigger thresholds can be conﬁ gured in this screen. If these trigger thresholds are set at ± 5°C and the setpoint of the zone is 150°C, a Low Temperature alarm is triggered if the measured temperature of the zone falls below 145°C, and a High Temperature alarm if the temperature rises above 155°C.
Page 25: 4) Zone Groups
3.1.2.4) Zone Groups Zone groups have two functions: • Make it easier to conﬁ gure the system by selecting the group of zones to modify • Specify which zones are nozzles and which are manifold, necessary when using a staggered ramp.
Page 26 The group is created when the icon is pressed in the Action bar. Pressing the icon on the Action bar will cancel its creation. Upon creating a group, the group zone display and assignment screen is displayed automatically. Group zone display and assignment : You can view or modify the contents of a group by selecting it in the list of groups and pressing the button or by double-clicking on it in the list of groups.

Page 40: 4) Electrical Analysis Of The Mold
3.2.4) Electrical analysis of the mold Two types of mold analysis are available: • MoldScan: one-time analysis when a mold is ﬁ rst installed or after mold maintenance, to check the integrity of the mold and its connections. • Continuous mold analysis, based on measurements made during operation From the continuous mold analysis, zone power consumption is calculated according to the power applied.
Page 41: 2) Readings
The screen for setting / conﬁ rming the test parameters is displayed: 3 parameters must be set: • Test duration: the value is given in s/kW. For example, for zones of 250W and 1.2kW, with a value of 300s/kW, at a maximum the test will take, respectively, 75s (0.250x300=75s) and 6 minutes (1.2x300=360s=6min°.
Page 42 Through the mold monitoring screen the user can quickly assess the operation and consumption of the control system. For monitoring to be eﬀ ective, the calculated values must be taken as reference values.

Page 43 "Power monitoring" table Power monitoring tolerances can be set/activated/deactivated in this table. Power monitoring limits in relation to the reference power, as well as the current power are displayed. The latter is colored red when outside its tolerance. From this page you access the sub-menu for applying reference values. The basic idea is to monitor the power applied to the load in order to detect if any of various parameters drifts from its proper value (for example: excessive power consumption, etc.).
Page 44 From this page you access the sub-menu for applying reference values. Using the button, you can also change the display system of quantities: ohms, watts, amperes.
