Operating Parameters
The melter uses operating parameters to store noneditable and editable
values. Noneditable values are those that provide information about the
historical performance of the melter. Editable values are either a numeric
set‐point or a control option setting. Control options settings affect the display
of information or the function of the melter.
Operating parameters are stored in the melter's firmware in the form of a
sequentially numbered list. The list is organized into the logical groups
described in Table 3‐5.
Table 3‐5 Parameter Groups
Group
Parameter
Numbers
Group Description
Standard 0 to 11 and 14
Noneditable and other frequently used
parameters
Temperature Control 20 to 26 Control heaters
Input Setup 30 to 39 Configure the standard and optional inputs
Output Setup 40 to 46 Configure the standard and optional outputs
Seven-day Clock 50 to 77 Configure the clock feature
In addition to the ability to read and edit parameter values, you can also save
and restore the current value of every operating parameter and review a log
of the last ten changes that were made to editable parameters.
Selecting Operating Parameters
Table 3‐6 provides a complete list of the operating parameters.
Review the list to determine which operating parameters would best support
your manufacturing process. Refer to Appendix B, Operating Parameters, for
detailed information about each parameter. Appendix B contains a complete
description of each parameter, including its affect on the melter, default
value, and format.
NOTE: Parameters that are used to configure optional equipment or that are
otherwise reserved in the firmware are excluded from Table 3‐6 and
Appendix B.
Reading or Editing Operating Parameters
Regardless of whether a parameter's value is editable or not, the procedure
for accessing each parameter in order to read or edit its current value is the
same.
