Mastering temperature control Compact module heating zones IM030 / IM230 Cost-optimized temperature control systems The IM 030 and IM 230 I/O modules are compact modules for actuating heating zones, especially optimised for controlling hot runner systems. The control module can be coupled to a control via a fieldbus and adapted to the machines requirements in a flexible manner through the apposition of I/O modules. Integrated heating current measurement and the optimized control through phase synchronization offers a very attractive overall solution for the injection molding world‘s complex processes. From hot runners with a low number of cavities to multiplecavity systems, the temperature control modules with a large quantity of control circuits offer a broad range of application possibilities. For each compact module it is possible to operate up to 24 heating zones by means of temperature inputs and digital outputs. Controlling of he temperature zones is handled within the control, whereby two design versions are available: • IM030 This module is conceived for use in economical applications and is connected via CAN bus to a KePlast i1000 control. Even highly price-sensitive hydraulic machines can be enhanced with the hot runner control systems integrated in the control. • IM230 This module is equipped with the EtherCAT high-performance, realtime fieldbus, and features enormous flexibility. Whether an application with multiple compact modules or an apposition of individual I/O modules from the KePlast product line – an optimum configuration can be provided for even the most complex applications. Energy consumption at a glance The modules are equipped with up to 3 groups, each one consisting of up 8 measurement and control units, for actuating external solid-state relays. The total current of each group can be measured via a current transformer, whereby a sophisticated algorithm can also detect line breaks in the individual heating zones. Due to the additional analog voltage measurement capability, on the one hand the energy consumption can be precisely determined, on the other hand also the operation of the heating elements – optimized through the integrated zero crossover detection and the phase cut c
