INSTRUMENTS

with Heater Break Alarm

• Heater Break Alarms reduces scrap and
improves quality. Detection of heater loss
prior to production problems.

• Quick Transfer allows for ultra-easy setup of
Heater Break Alarms.

• Plug and Play Technology allows field
upgrades.

• Configuration directly from PC for fast and
repeatable configurations.

• Two Auto-tune algorithms: Pre-tune plus
Self-tune.

• Four Outputs available.

The 6600 is a 1/16 DIN controller that has been de­signed specifically to provide quality process control
for the Plastics Extrusion Market.

This control features a special Heater Break Alarm Func­tion which works similar to an amp meter, but alerts
the operator to heater failures when they occur and prior
to production problems. Quick Transfer is a one shot
operation which automatically sets the alarm condition
for the heater break and is based on the nominal cur­rent value. Quick Transfer allows for the automatic en­try of setpoints for the heater break alarm. In addition,
the Auto/Manual key can be configured for fast access
to display amps or process temperature by a single key
stroke.

Soft Start prevents premature heater failure due to high
levels of moisture in heaters at start-up. Soft Start is
included on this control, and is used to dry heaters out
prior to production. Soft-start is used in injection mold­ing hot runner and other cartridge heater applications.

The 6600 controller incorporates our advanced tuning
algorithms, with selectable pre-tune and self-tuning.
The pre-tune is used on start-up and is a one-step tun­ing algorithm designed to get you to setpoint fast with
self-tuning being enabled near setpoint and normal op­erating conditions to control overshoot. The self-tune
is a continuous tuning algorithm or sometimes referred

adaptive tuning

to as
fine tuned for specific applications.

This controller loaded up can have 4 outputs, 1 sensor
input, 1 current transformer input, and RS-485 Com­munication. Combining all these features makes the
West 6600 one of the most powerful controllers in its
class.
