TTC Series Hot Runner Temperature Controller-2

Redefining Temperature Control The next step in the evolution of hot runner temperature control systems. 1) Sense – 20 times per second, Synventive controllers precisely measure the thermocouple; 2) Control – the proprietary self-optimizing Synventive PID2 control algorithm adjusts if the actual temperature deviates 0.1º F (0.05º C) from setpoint. The second derivative (PID2) monitors the actual temperature rate of change. As a result, the TTC module regulates the output to the heater in advance of achieving setpoint to limit or eliminate over or undershoot. 3) Actuate – using phase angle fired...

Mold Monitor Preventive Diagnostics Mold Monitor is a set of on-line (in production) advanced software routines consisting of three preventative diagnostic tools; material protection, heater resistance and heater wattage monitoring. Material Protection – establish a signal between the molding machine and the Synventive TTC controller. Each time the signal is received a timer starts counting down. If the programmable timer counts down to zero the software puts the TTC controller into standby. Guards against material degradation and prevents unnecessary scrap. Heater Resistance Monitoring – twice...
