12.4.3.3 Cycle Input (Heat Control Only)

Cycle Input supplies a start or end of cycle signal from the injection molding machine. This

When this input is selected for use, the controller looks for a rising edge to trigger the start or
end of a cycle.
NOTE:
This feature can be enabled or disabled when you select or deselect the 'In Use' check-box in
the Cycle Input line on the Heats Page 1 tab of the Digital Inputs screen. Refer to
