HPS-C Hotrunner controllers Operating manual for 1-zone and 2-zone controllers Valid for all controllers from software version 1.50 Item Numbers: 68010.201 68010.301 68010.302...
High temperatures arise at the connected components. Relevant precautionary measures are to be taken on commissioning or rather during operation. Application: This control system from EWIKON can be used to operate EWIKON hotrunner systems in dry industrial rooms.

Introduction After switching on the supply voltage, the controller displays the initialisation information is displayed followed by the first combination of the display menu (c.f.. Page 5). The power output is switched off. The controller is operated using the 4 "Shift", "UP Arrow", "DOWN Arrow" and "Select" keys. The display consists of two 4-digit 7-segment displays, the upper (larger) one usually shows the actual value or the parameter name, the lower (smaller) one usually shows the setpoint value or the parameter setting.
Operation and adjustment of the controller The controlled is adjusted in 4 different menus, whereby the focus is on the "Display" and the "Command" menus. If configured correctly, all the controller operations (Switch On and Off, increase or decrease mode, changes to setpoint values) can be carried out in these two menus.
Command menu All the functions required for the operation can be activated or deactivated in the command menu, the required command is chosen using the "Select" key. The "UP Arrow" and "DOWN Arrow" keys are used to switch the various functions On and Off. 1) "Ctrl"...
Parameter menu The basic configuration of the controller can be adjusted in the parameter menu, so that only the display and command menu are required for the actual operations. Changes to the controller's operating performance can continue to be made in the lower- lying parameter levels.
Parameter level 1 The user arrives at the first parameter level after entering the valid password ("11", carried out using the arrow key) and pressing the "Select" key for at least 2 seconds. The following lists the parameters which can be changed in this level in tabular form. Display Designation Unit...

Tolerance band monitoring ("tbOn", "tbC1" - "tbC4", "tbA1" - "tbA4" and "tbdy") Tolerance band monitoring enables automatic monitoring of the injection moulding process with respect to compliance with the setpoint values entered. In this way, various reciprocal actions can be triggered in the open communications network with the injection moulding machine, e.g.

Thermocouple type ("tC") The HPS-C controller temperature measurement is designed for the connection of a thermocouple, in total, 3 different types of thermocouple can be connected. When the device is delivered, the type Fe-CuNi "L" (setting "2") according to DIN 43710 is set;...
Parameter level 2 Parameter level 2 is only accessible to the manufacturer. However, the possible settings and limiting values are listed here for information purposes. Parameter level 2 is reached by pressing the "Select" key for at least 5 seconds in Parameter level 1, if the valid password has been entered.
Error messages Apart from the normal operating functions, the HPS-C control system also provides other extensive monitoring functions in order to identify problems or errors in the hotrunner system or in the controller at an early stage. Errors or warnings are displayed in the "error messages" menu, if the hotrunner system (heating mode) has been switched on, the fault and warning message output is also set and the red "ERROR"...
- Setpoint value monitoring with 2 tolerance bands for fault and warning messages - Decrease function - Increase function with maximum time delimitation The Series HPS-C controllers comply with the standards DIN EN 55011 (05/2000), DIN EN 61000-6-2 (03/2000), DIN EN 60204-1 (11/1998) and DIN EN 60742.
