Program Controls
Overview
The Ahiba IR employs a simple user interface that communicates programming
and system information, using internationally-recognized symbols and icons.
Because of this design, Ahiba IR employs a limited number of screens which
reduces the amount of user training required to operate the equipment.
An LED status bar visually displays important information about the process.
The controller also has a variable audible alarm system that alerts the operator
to the conditions and status of the process. Sophisticated firmware runs
monitoring and controls in the background, ensuring the proper operation and
control of the process. When an error occurs, the controller communicates the
error via icons, audible alarms and LED status lights.
The Ahiba IR works with stored programs that contain customized time and
temperature dyeing sequences. The unit can hold a maximum of 99 programs,
each having a maximum of 15 steps. A stored program remains in the system
memory until it is deleted by the operator. Programs can be edited to change
processing specifications, or to add or remove steps.
One step in a program includes the following inputs:
•
Temperature
•
Gradient
•
Time at temperature
•
Speed of rotation
•
Hold process step (if needed)
This information is entered through command buttons on the keypad and icons
on the display screen.
INFORMATION
Reversing time is not needed. The Ahiba IR automatically reverses rotation
every minute.
