Chapter 3 — Design and connections MOULD CONNECTION The profiTEMP IM has two mould connections (XA1 and XA2). The pin assignments for heaters and thermocouples de- pend on the three device variants. Variant 1 — MEU/001 | RH 1200/12/001/WI24B/32A Variant 2 — 121 | RH 1200/12/121/WI24B/32A...
Manual profiTEMP IM OPERATION SWITCH ON / SWITCH OFF After making all the necessary connections to the device, set the main switch on the back of the device to position 1 / ON to put the device into operation. The device can be de-energised in the same way (position 0 / OFF).
Select zones and enter parameters Enter system parameters After switching on the profiTEMP IM you start on the ä 4.4.1 Home page with process data and status information. You can switch between ä 4.4.1 Home page and ä 4.4.2 Status page (A).
Manual profiTEMP IM The selected zones are reduced or increased by the same value. In this case the sign key is enabled. Positive numbers increase the values of all selected zones, negative num- bers decrease them. SELECTION FROM A LIST OF VALUES For parameters with a defined value list (here: digital input function), the selection is made directly in the list.

The key symbol indicates the authorisation level for changing the setting parameters. The user has access to the parameters that don’t require a login. This authorisation level applies, for example, after switching on the profiTEMP IM. The user has logged in with the valid password and has access to all parameters.

31.07.22/07:20:00 Program 3 Programs The button can be used to reset the profiTEMP IM to the factory settings. This requires a ä Login (ä 4.7 Reset- ting the device to factory settings). 4.5.1 SAVE MOULD PROGRAMS IN THE PROGRAM MEMORY OF THE CONTROLLER Select the memory location in the left-hand window.
Manual profiTEMP IM The name of the mould program appears in the left window on Programm 1 pT IM 072122O °C 01.08.2022 08:10:24 the selected memory location. Program memory No USB available 10.10.22/07:00:00 The name of the mould program just saved is displayed in the Program 1 header.
Mould programs can be saved on a USB stick. Mould programs stored there can be used for a safe restore or transferred to another profiTEMP IM. The handling of mould programs with a USB stick is only enabled when a USB stick is inserted into the device.
Manual profiTEMP IM PROCESS MONITORING The process monitoring function is primarily intended to detect plastic leaks in the hot runner mould. Leakage monitor- ing only makes sense if a temperature sensor is present in the vicinity of an expected leakage in order to quickly detect a change in the process.
Chapter 4 — Operation RESETTING THE DEVICE TO FACTORY SETTINGS The controller can be reset to two different states. Only zone parameters Only the zone-specific setting values are reset. For example, if all zone-specific settings for a new mould are to be made starting from the factory settings, but the remaining settings are to remain unaffected. All data All settings are reset to the factory settings.
Manual profiTEMP IM SETTING PARAMETERS AND MODE OF OPERATION Changing some parameters is only possible after a ä Login. These parameters are marked with a In this chapter the default value of a parameter at the setting range is marked with square brackets [].
Chapter 5 — Setting parameters and mode of operation Smallest possible definable set point value 5.1.5 RESIDUAL CURRENT LIMIT [SP05] MAXIMUM RESIDUAL CURRENT Setting range 0 (deactivated) — [60] mA The residual current monitoring detects leakage currents that occur due to moisture in the mould or insulation damage. If the measured residual current is higher than the residual current limit, the heaters of the zones where the output level was greater than 0% when the error occurred are de-energised.
Manual profiTEMP IM Mains phase missing Current too high Heater output too high or short circuit detected Channel data error Checksum error in channel data System data error Checksum error in system data Identification error Error in determining the control parameters Sensor short circuit TCs A short circuit was detected in a thermocouple.
Chapter 5 — Setting parameters and mode of operation SET UP ZONES To set up, all mould-specific settings must be made. 5.2.1 HEATING UP [SP39] HEATING MODE All zones of the controller are heated in the same way. The setting is therefore made in the system parameters. Setting range [Direct], automatic ramp, relay heating, start-up mode DIRECT...
Manual profiTEMP IM If desired, a zone can automatically switch to manual mode when a sensor error is detected. This is defined in system parameter ä [SP38] Automatic sensor break . Of course, a zone can also be operated in manual mode without a sensor error.
Chapter 5 — Setting parameters and mode of operation switched off. 5.2.3 STANDBY & BOOST [P007] STANDBY Setting range 0 — [100] — 999.0 °C | 0 — 1830.2 °F The use of the standby function is recommended to protect the moulds and to reduce energy costs during downtimes. The set point value is reduced by the set value at the push of a button.
Manual profiTEMP IM MONITORING To monitor the hot runner control, the corresponding limit values must be set for temperatures and heating currents, among other things. 5.3.1 MONITOR TEMPERATURES [SP32] UPPER TEMPERATURE ALARM Setting range 0 — [5] — 99 °C | 0 — 178.2 °F For temperature monitoring, a tolerance range can be set above the set point value.
Chapter 6 — Setting parameters and mode of operation CONTROL BEHAVIOUR The PID control parameters ä [P034] Proportional band, ä [P035] Hold-off time and ä [P036] Reset time determine the behaviour of the controller and can be determined automatically by the ä [P030] Identification when heating up the zones.
Manual profiTEMP IM ALARMS AND ERROR HANDLING All errors and alarms pending in the zones can be seen on the ä 4.4.1 Home page and ä 4.4.2 Status page.
