136 Set the Cycle Idle Time Limit
10.19.2 Set the Cycle Idle Time Limit
The Cycle Idle Time Limit is the duration of time that must elapse before the system does one
of the reactions. The timer starts when one of the zone’s actual temperature is at or more
than the Resin Degradation Limit and the controller is not cycling. The timer resets when one
of those conditions is no longer TRUE. The timer can be set between a minimum of 1 minute
and a maximum of 90 minutes. The default value is 30 minutes.
To set the Cycle Idle Time Limit, do the steps that follow:
1. On the System Setup screen, touch the Heats Setup tab and then touch the Control
Page 1 tab.
2. Touch the Cycle Idle Time Limit field that is below Resin Protection Timer.
3. Enter the time and then touch the Accept button.
NOTE: Below the Cycle Idle Time Limit is the Elapsed Idle Time field, which shows the time
that has elapsed from when the timer was started. This updates in one-minute
increments.
10.19.3 Set the Cycle Idle Reaction
The Cycle Idle Reaction is the operation that occurs if the Cycle Idle Time Limit completes.
The reactions that can be selected are:
• No Reaction – No operation is done.
• Warning Notification – An alarm is activated when the timer completes
• Put Heats in Standby (Default Value) – The controller enters Manual Standby mode
automatically. An alarm is also activated.
• Turn Heats Off – The controller turns off automatically and an alarm is activated. The
alarm then de-activates, because the system turns off.
To set the Cycle Idle Reaction, do the steps that follow:
1. On the System Setup screen, touch the Heats Setup tab and then touch the Control
Page 1 tab.
2. Touch the Cycle Idle Reaction field that is below Resin Protection Timer.
3. Touch the reaction in the list to select it.
10.20 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
