3.2.2 Operating front
The convenient operation of the pro CONTROL BASIC hot runner controller is carried out on
the front panel (Figure 1 - pro CONTROL BASIC front panel) via 12 keys. The front also con-
tains all visualization elements. The setpoints and actual values of the individual zones are
displayed via 7-segment displays. If required, the display can be switched over to heating
current and degree of operation.
3.2.3 LED-strip
The status of the controller is displayed in color via a strip of LEDs visible from afar. This en-
ables a quick assessment of the current controller or tool status.
3.2.4 Power card
Inside the housing there are power cards which control connected heaters and record meas-
ured temperatures of the thermocouples. Each zone is switched individually via relays on the
power cards, so that individual zones can be switched off separately and a seamless produc-
tion process is always guaranteed.
3.2.5 Fuses
The controllers have three different types of fuses inside the housing. Each zone has two
fuses on the power card. One fuse is used to protect the load output (fuse in the fuse holder
below the heat sink). The second fuse, on the other hand, is required for use in delta net-
works. In addition, another control fuse is located in a terminal on the bottom of the housing.

3.2.6 Notification contact / Digital input
The pro CONTROL BASIC hot runner controllers have a potential-free message contact and
a digital control input, which are brought out via a 7-pin plug on the rear of the unit. A contact
diagram of the built-in plug is given in chapter 11.2

.
The control input is PLC-compatible, i.e. it operates over a voltage range of 13
…30 VDC with
a typical current consumption of approx. 8.5 mA. The controller can be switched to standby
mode via the input. The controller remains in this mode as long as the signal is present. De-
activation via the standby button on the device is not possible.
The potential-free notification contact is used to transmit the controller status to an injection
molding machine. When warnings or alarms occur, the contact opens. Accordingly, the con-
tact is normally closed (NC) and opens as soon as an alarm or warning is present. Chapter 6
provides an overview of the behavior when messages occur.
3.2.7 Identification on the controller
The type label is mounted on the side of the controller housing. It contains the type designa-
tion with the number of zones, the electrical connection data and the manufacturer’s data.
