Programming the sintering pro-
gram
Information/tips on programming / controller
behaviour:
_
The input options of the heating rate is limited
from 60 °C/h (min.) to 900 °C/h (max.).
_
The temperature input is limited from 25 °C
(min.) to 1530 °C (max.).
_
In case of incomplete entry of parameters
within a segment (e.g. heating rate 0 °C/h ),
either the complete program will be discarded
and not taken over and the standard program P1
is indicated, or, in case of an incomplete pro-
grammed sequence segment, this part of the
program will always be discarded (all following
parameters are set to 0.)
_
The remaining-time indication is put out
rounded exactly to 10 minutes.
_
Depending on the furnace filling, the indication
of the program status (red dot) can lightly devi-
ate from the shown curve shape in the range of
the cooling curve.
A sintering program consists of up to 8 segments.
Each segment contains 3 parameters:
_
Heating rate in °C/h (max. 60 °C/h)
_
Temperature in °C (max. 1530 °C/h)
_
Dwell time in minutes
In order to set a program (4 to 250):
▷
Press the
key.
▷
Press the number key for the respective pro-
gram.
-or-
▷
In the list, select the desired free program loca-
tion with the
keys.
▷
To enter the segment definition: Press the
key.
▷
Enter the first parameter of the segment (heat-
ing rate in °C/h) via the die number key.
▷
Press the
key.
▷
Enter the second parameter of the segment
(temperature in °C) via the die number key.
▷
Press the
key.
▷
Enter the third parameter of the segment (dwell
time in minutes) via the die number key.
▷
Press the
key.
▷
Enter further segments in the same manner.
▷
To save/store the program: Press the
key.
▷
Assign a name to the program using the alpha-
numeric keys.
▪
Navigate in the title with the
keys.
▪
delete individual characters with the
key
▪
delete the complete name with the
key
