To do this: change PLC41 and/or PLC43, download the PLC and
PPC blocks, and repeat steps 2-4. Repeat as necessary.

Important: If downloading from your programming terminal, download
PLC followed by PPC with download bits B21/13 and 14 (chapter 4).

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 plastication 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

PLC41

PLC43

Maximum

PLC42

PLC44

Now for open-loop plastication profiles, the QDC module assumes a liner
relationship between backpressure and signal output.

Set the Profile Pressure Alarm

Set the maximum pressure alarm PLC57 (N44:413) equal to a ram (screw)
backpressure that should:

not be exceeded during the plastication profile
not be greater than PLC42 (N44:398) maximum pressure control limit

Entering zero disables this alarm.

Download the PLC and PPC blocks to the QDC module.
