10.2 Diagnosis

Accessible via: Section 7.4, “Main menu”

In the Diagnostics view, the parameters of the connected molds are automatically determined for the current channel selection. A current measurement, a check of the temperature sensors and a sequential adaptation of the channels are carried out. This allows the nominal values to be recorded and possible errors to be detected. A comparison with the current channel settings is then possible in order to check whether the connected mold matches the loaded recipe. The diagnostics do not overwrite any settings.

The following faults can be detected

• Fault current
• Current values outside the limits
• Reverse polarity, incorrectly connected or missing temperature sensor
• Changed process parameters (due to changed heating power or poor thermal coupling)
• Thermal coupling to other channels

10.2.1 Diagnosis - Results

The results of the current or last diagnosis are displayed in short form.

10.2.2 Diagnosis - detailed view

If you click on the line of a channel, the detailed view opens and shows an overview of all values from the current view. Errors or irregularities are highlighted in red.

10.2.3 Diagnosis - comparison

Once diagnostics have been completed, the “Compare” view can be used to check whether the current channel settings Section 9.1, “Channel settings” match the connected mold. The focus here is on a brief, clear display of whether the operating mode, process model parameters and current values and limits are identical.

10.2.4 Diagnostics - Text view

In the “Text view” view, you have a list of all measured values determined during diagnostics and comparative values to the current channel settings. In the comparison (e.g. Comp. Ks), the determined value is displayed first and the set value second. The comparison is considered to have been passed if the values are within certain limits. The letters and symbols are explained in table Table 11.
