As the name suggests non-resettable counters cannot be reset. Also they are saved in
EEPROM memory and not in battery backed-up memory. This means that, unlike the other 3
counter sets, these counters will not be lost in case the battery is empty or removed.
6.4 Edit parameter menu
The controller has 3 sets of parameters. There are parameters which can be adjusted
specifically for a program, so a program can be set-up to process a specific material. These
parameters are the so-called ‘program parameters’. The ‘machine parameters’ are general
parameters which are always used, regardless of the active program. ‘Configuration parameters’ are
parameters which describe the options in the machine and are typically set by the manufacturer.
‘Program parameters’ and ‘machine parameters’ can be accessed via the ‘Edit parameter menu’
item in the main menu. ‘Configuration parameters’ can be accessed via the separate item ‘Edit
configuration parameters’ in the main menu. The ‘Edit parameter menu’ is also used to change the
name of a program.
If, in the main menu, the item ‘Edit parameter menu’ is selected, this menu will be activated.
In this menu, an item can be selected with the ARROW UP and/or ARROW DOWN button.
Confirming the choice of an item must be done by pressing the ENTER button
6.4.1 Edit program parameters
The program parameter list is a list of parameters which can be adjusted to set-up a specific
program. The parameters in this list are only used in the current program. To edit program
parameters, password level 1 (1234) is required.
In the ‘edit program parameters’ screen, another parameter can be selected with the arrow
buttons up and down. A value can be changed with the plus and minus buttons, or with the numeric
buttons. Changing the value must be confirmed by pressing the enter button. The upper line will
show the number and name of the parameter, followed by the value.
On the lower line, the maximum and minimum limit will be displayed. The icon
indicates if it is possible to still move up or down in the list, and the icon is displayed to
indicated if it is possible to increase or decrease selected value.
If the shift button is used in combination with the arrow buttons the controller will move to
the first or last item in the list. If the shift button is used in combination with the plus and minus
buttons, the value will be increased and decreased in larger steps. The following program
parameters are available:
(01) Drying method
As standard the controller is installed with 1 temperature sensor. In this case this parameter
will not be available. If the machine is equipped with a second temperature sensor, with a humidity
sensor or with an infra-red sensor, this parameter will be available and can be set to ‘time’ or to
‘auto’. If this parameter is set to ‘time’ the program will do drying purely based on time, which
means a drying step will always last just as long as the adjusted drying time (see program parameter
6). If this parameter is set to ‘auto’ the drying step will last until the controller has detected the
batch is dry. Determination if the batch is dry is done with parameters 8, 9 and 10. If the batch is
considered dry, the cool-down step will be started. As said, if no 2
nd
temperature sensor, no
humidity sensor and no infra-red sensor are installed (see chapter 6.8), this parameter will not be
visible and drying will always be purely time-based.
