EDGE PLUS TOUCHSCREEN

HOT RUNNER TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM

HOT RUNNER TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM
The EDGE Plus, utilizing Adaptive Pinpoint Control Technology Algorithms,
delivers the ultimate in temperature control capabilities. Available from 12 to
360 zones, modular 15 amp controller cards make servicing easy and reduces
downtime significantly. The intuitive 8” or 10.1” high resolution LCD wireless
touchscreen interface is simple to navigate and advanced users can take
advantage of its extended options. The EDGE Plus features Uniform
Temperature Rise, T/C Slaving, and Hot-Swappable Control Cards.

SINGLE ZONE INTEGRITY
System downtime is a major concern for users. Due to this, the EDGE Plus has
individual zone cards that are completely modular. This allows for instant replacement
of the cards in the event of a failure. A failure will only affect one zone since zone
cards are individuals, not 2 or 4 zones, like competing units. Individual control
cards are independent of the interface system. If failure of the interface occurs, the
system will continue to run uninterrupted provided Main Power is not turned off.
REMOTE INTERFACE MOUNTING
For convenience, the EDGE Plus display can be mounted to the cabinet or remotely
up to a distance of 30 meters (line of site) from the cabinet. The only requirement is
power for the display (120/240VAC).

Display can be
mounted on the
cabinet or remotely.

GRAPHICAL FEATURES
Zones are represented in a variety of formats, including the standard and
global graphical view (allowing most moderate zone count systems to display
all zones simultaneously), real-time independent zone graphs, a
spreadsheet-like data view and a photo view of the mold allowing data to Standard View: Large format for easy reading and
be superimposed. Zones can be given descriptive names to aid in information at a glance.
identification. Controls can be selected/manipulated by a simple touch.

REMOTE MONITORING VIA WIFI
The EDGE Plus features built in wifi that will allow it to connect to a private
network (requires user configuration). A computer on the same network
can connect and remotely view the status of the system. Note: The remotely
connected computer will need to have a small program installed to connect
to the EDGE Plus (program will be included with the system).
AUTO MAX HEATER CURRENT DETECTION
Many users do not know the maximum current the mold heaters are rated
for. This knowledge is important in order to protect the controllers and the
heaters. Configuring the maximum current can be time consuming, and
unless the user has the schematics, might not be possible. With the EDGE
Plus, that is not a problem. The maximum current will be detected and
stored in the profile during run time if the setting is enabled. If the controller Global View: For medium density tools, global view
detects that the heater has exceeded this value, it will go into halt mode allows up to 72 zones simultaneously.
and alert the user that it has gone over the rated current.
