What You Have Accomplished

The open-loop tuning procedure you just completed has defined the:

range of ram (screw) backpressure during plastication

end-of-range maximum and minimum signal levels for linear control of

the injection pressure valve in open-loop control

For this

range limit

When trying to obtain

the pressure in:

The QDC module drives the selected

pressure valve to % output signal in:

Minimum

INC41

INC43

Maximum

INC42

INC44

Now, for all open-loop injection pressure profiles, the QDC module
assumes a linear relationship between ram pressure and signal outputs.

Set the Profile Pressure Alarm

Set the profile pressure alarm INC57 (N44:53) for the ram (screw) to a
pressure that should:

not be exceeded during the injection profile
not exceed the maximum pressure control limit INC42 (N44:38)

Entering a value of zero disables this alarm.

Download new value to the QDC module by downloading the INC and
IPC blocks.

Important: If downloading from your programming terminal, download
INC followed by IPC with download bits B21/7 and 8 (chapter 4).
