7.5.9 Control Settings Fields
Power Minimum
Limits the range that can be entered for Remote Boost Power.
Power Maximum
Item Description
Item Description
Output Power Limit 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).
Slaved To Zone 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.
Thermocouple
Assignment
The number of the thermocouple to which the zone is connected.
Output Mode Changes the power output modulation for a zone during normal
operation. Choices are Zero Cross or Phase Angle.
Heater Type Select one of the following heater types: none, tips, manifold, or sprue.
These settings are used to configure the power deviation alarm.
AMC - Automatic
Manual Control
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.
PCM - Priority Control
Mode
The Priority Control Mode (PCM) controls how the controller will react in
the case of an abort condition.
Earth Leakage Enable Allows users to turn on and off the Earth Leakage checking feature for
each zone.
Item Description
Control Mode 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).
P-Proportional This is the proportional term value used by the control algorithm.
Possible values are: 0 – 250.
