v 1.0 — February 2020 Altanium Matrix5
174 Cycle Input (Heat Control Only)
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
input can be configured as the trigger to log process data on Altanium systems configured
for heats control only.
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 should be connected to a cyclical signal (the signal goes HIGH to LOW during
each injection cycle)
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
Section 13.1.3.
