● PID Control and Balance Control
PID Control is a method in order to maintain temperature at the set temperature
value accurately by controlling output power reflecting proportion, integration, and dif-
ferentiation values. In addition, it can raise same temperatures of nozzle and manifold
accrding to heater capacity.
● Re-Tuning
Auto tuning is a function to extract the governing factors through analysing capacity
of the heaters and heat constant of the mold (characteristics of latent heat and released
heat). It helps precise control of temperature regardless of environmental change.
● Output Type
You can choose either PWM or SSR mode and control it with users optimized envi-
ronment.
● Color touch LCD and various display
You can check and control the status of the product easier through various displays
such as Text/Graph/Digital/Detail
● Mold File
You can Manage Setting data for the each Mold and move and copy
setting data between several apparatus and control.
● Alarm, Reporting and Self inspection
It provides detecting detailed errors and reporting function and it is prossible to
manage the machine quickly with the Alarm function. In addition, you can check the
status of heater and thermocouple with self inspection.
● Controller Unit System
One unit controls 2 zones and it is possible to operate temporary mode without
stopping whole system when there is a problem on near zone.
● Sequence injection timer (option)
You can manage and control timer and controller at the same time and we make the
best circumstances in hot runner controller system.
Feature
The Controller is a device that has a function to maintain the desired tem-
perature consistently by sensing the state of Hot Runner System by use of
high-intellectual computer system named MICOM and input proper power. It
has several important functions as below for precise temperature control.

4. Operating modes
Auto Mode (Start)
Auto mode is normal operation mode in which the temperature is controlled
and maintained automatically in accordance with the set degree.
Stand-By Mode
Administrator can decrease setting temperature of the machine on pause
time and turn the temperature back automatically after passing the pause
time. You can save the electric energy.
When you start [Stand By Mode], Value of [Setting temperature (SV)] is
changed to temperature of Stand By Mode ( % rate, [Stand By Output] of
[Advanced setting 2]) and it runs for [System Setting] [Stand by Hour/Minute]
setting time.
It will turn back to the [Auto Mode] After the [Stand by Hour/Minute].
Boost Mode
This is the function to output with setting value of [Maximum output of
Boost %] to approach to the [Setting temperature (SV)] quickly without [PID
control]
When you start [Boost Mode], timer will start running and it will turn to
[Stop Mode] after running as much as minutes that set up for [Boost Minute]
on the [System setting] Screen
Manual Out
It is emergency mode that can be automatically worked by manual out mode
even if it occur sensor open, short and reverse.
1. Check Up status of wiring of connector that connected to the Mold
and type of thermocouple(T/C). (Check up that wiring of the thermocou-
ple and heater is separated and wiring is toward from the heater to the
thermocouple.)
2. Check up resistance of heater, status of insulation and open of ther-
mocouple.
3. Check up that specification of connecting cable.
4. Connect connecting cable after Mold is installed on injection machine.
5. Check up that input voltage (240V/380V) and setting voltage of con-
troller are same and if so, connect the power cable. (You can find the
voltage of the controller from the label on the Controller case.)
6. A Ground wire of controller MUST be grounded.
(It prevents from electric shock, fuse and triac broken by noise voltage.)
7. Turn the main power ON.
8. Check up that temperature is approached to the setting temperature
with clicking Start Button. (It is more safety to use it after self inspection
checking such as wiring, heater and T/C)
Warning : You ALWAYS NEED to check that fan is working or not
since if the fan under the controller is stopped, it causes malfunction.
3. Check up list and operate order
before using the controller

5. Basic Operation
1. When you turn on Main S/W, System loading will run for 10 seconds.
2. After the loading, initialization of basic system will run for 10 seconds.
3. After the initialization, it will turn to the Main page and Basic running
will be Stop Status.
4. You can use the controller from now on.
5. When you click Text Button, it will turn to the Text Screen.
6. Turn to the System to the start status by clicking [Start/Stop] Button.
7. When you click [Set up] button, you can fix several settings for the
Zone.
6. Function of protection
1. Ground fault function
It automatically detects short between a heater and frame ground and
stops output and protects heater, after turning the power on.
2. T/C open function
If there occurs T/C open, short-circuit or reverse connection, this func-
tion prevents from overheat in mold by stopping output.
3. Protective over current function:
It is a function that is able to stop output and protect heater malfunc-
tion when being heater short or over current.
4. Soft-start
When power on, it will be running in [soft-mode] and protect heater
malfunction from moisture by working slowly.
5. Setting Current-high and low function:
It is a function which is for detecting heater short or open. It protects
heater by stopping output when it detects current because it occurs dif-
ferent setting value.
