Auto Power Limiting 167
User Guide v 2.0 — March 2023 System Setup
10.22 Auto Power Limiting
Auto Power Limiting lets the controller automatically adjust the output power limit values on
zones that have oversized heaters attached. When this feature is enabled, the Global Output
Power Limit parameter is disabled. This is so a user cannot accidentally adjust the output
power limit value on all the zones. When auto power limiting is disabled the Global Output
Power Limit parameter is enabled again. This setting is disabled by default.
When the controller automatically adjusts the output power limit values, it also saves the
changes to the loaded mold setup. The output power limit values will only change if the
current that is reported by the circuit test results is more than the designed current limit (5,
16, or 30 amperes) for the card. The system will not adjust the output power limit lower than
25%. To use a lesser value will not apply enough power to heat the zone to the setpoint, and
it will take more time to do so.
To enable Auto Power Limiting, do the steps that follow:
1. From the Home screen, touch the System Setup button.
2. Touch the Heats Setup tab at the bottom of the screen and then the Monitoring 1 tab.
3. Touch the Auto Power Limiting Enable checkbox below Circuit Test, so the check mark
shows.
NOTE: Auto Power Limiting must be disabled for the Global Output Power Limit to be
enabled.
