RoHS/WEEE Compliant
Advanced Temperature Control for Hot Runner Systems

Capability/RoHS and WEEE Compliant


DME offers 2-, 5-, 8-, and 12-zone standard mainframes for 15A operation and 1-, 2-, 3-, and
5-zone standard mainframes for 30A operation. Components listed in this catalog satisfy all
international compliances. This includes RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) that
prohibits or restricts the use of six potentially harmful materials in electronic equipment, and
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) that requires equipment made after August
2005 to be taken back and recycled by the manufacturer, rather than just thrown away.

Three-Year Warranty
All DME temperature controllers are now covered by a three-year warranty, excluding
fuses and triacs.
Advanced Temperature Control for Hot Runner Systems

Electrical Noise Immunity


To enhance immunity from electrical noise, power and thermocouple wire are harnessed
in separate wire ways within the body of the frame. Additional noise immunity is provided
through the use of shielded thermocouple wires.

The DME Smart Series is the result of intensive and dedicated research with a goal of
designing todays most versatile and reliable line of temperature controllers. DME achieved
this goal by not only incorporating the latest technology, but by also making certain that
each controller is easy to install and above alleasy to operate.

Heavy Duty Welded Construction


With years of experience behind its design, the Smart Series line is built to last under the
most rigorous conditions. The mainframes welded 16 gauge steel construction ensures long
life and peak performance. Cooling fans in the frame are strategically located to increase air
ventilation, maintain cooler running conditions, and promote control module reliability.

CE COMPLIANT! DME Mainframes and Modules comply with
Electromagnetic compatibility and low voltage directives

Control Modules
SSM (15 and 30 AMP): The SSM module provides accurate temperature control, including Smart Start
heater dry out circuitry, thermocouple fault displays and auto/manual modes of operation. The SSM
features automatic or manual bumpless transfer which, in the event of a thermocouple fault, provides
switch over to manual mode at the proper power setting to continue molding until the fault can be
corrected. This module can also trigger remote standby heat (idle), boost, off, and alarm functions when
used with the TAS module.

DSS (15 and 30 AMP): For those who require independent dual displays for process and setpoint
temperatures, the DSS is the ideal choice. The DSS module also features automatic or manual bumpless
transfer. This module is also fully compatible with the TAS module for standby heat and alarm functions.

Accessory Modules
TAS: The TAS module provides over/under visual and audible alarms, boost, and standby heat control
SSM1512 with control modules as stated above. The TAS module can accommodate up to 63 zones of control.
Alarm is activated at 30 F. See pages 43-44 for details.

Smart Series
NOTE: The TAS accessory module requires the use of MFC style communications mainframes.
Non-communications frames may be upgraded on-site with installable kits.

CE COMPLIANT! Control Modules
Simplified Power Hook-Up
Concern for user convenience didnt stop with improved operation features. DME went one step beyond
DSS1512 to ensure that the power hook-up procedure goes smoothly as well. For this reason, detailed schematics
for various hook-ups are provided directly on all mainframe back panels. If it is ever necessary to change
the configuration, these diagrams will help ensure safe and proper connections. All wiring diagrams can
be referenced at the end of this section.

SSH Controller (10 AMP)


The SSH is a stand-alone single zone controller ideal
for use with hot sprue bushings or machine nozzles.

RoHS/WEEE Compliant: Microprocessor -Based Temperature
Control Modules with Color Touch Screen Display

TSM-15-12
The TSM15 Smart Series Module has a color touch screen digital display providing readouts
for Actual Temperature, Current Mode, Percentage Power and Current Reading. Closed-loop,
fuzzy logic PID control, and auto-tuning of PID parameters provide precise control even
under the most adverse processing conditions.

In the event of a thermocouple failure, the TSM can automatically invoke bumpless
transfer to a percent power mode based on the last valid percentage learned before the
thermocouple failure. If desired, manual bumpless transfer may be selected, in which case
a thermocouple fault will turn off power to the heater until the manual percent power mode
is activated by the operator.

The TSM boost level option limits boosting of the temperature by 75C or 135F to limit the
degradation of material.

Smart Series
The TSM module also includes a Smart Start mode to safely bake out damaging internal
heater moisture at system start-up and to prolong heater life. Fast or slow load modes
may also be selected to protect smaller heaters or compensate for slow loads such as
externally heated manifolds. An accurate, durable and full-featured module, the TSM is
fully compatible with all Smart Series or G-Series 15 AMP mainframes.

The control system has several features which provide a diagnosis of faults in the control system, the tool heaters and
thermocouple sensors.

If a zone temperature is seen to deviate from the actual setting beyond the alarm limits then the display will change to

Input Power Wiring Diagrams (Option A)

The diagrams on pages 48 through 50 are printed on the back panels of the mainframes.
For your convenience, they are depicted here along with additional information.
For information on input wiring for 30 AMP mainframes, contact DME.

Standard input wiring for mainframes, unless specified otherwise at time of order, is 240 VAC,
three- phase, 4-wire, 50/60 Hz. (OPTION A). If it becomes necessary to change to another
configuration, refer to the appropriate diagram and information on the following pages:
Page 48: (OPTION A) 208-240 VAC, 3-phase, 4-wire
Page 49: (OPTION B) 380-415 VAC, 3-phase, 5-wire
Page 50: (OPTION C) 240 VAC, 2-phase, 4-wire
(OPTION D) 208-240 VAC, single phase, 3-wire 120 VAC, 2-phase, 4-wire

NOTE: For mold power and thermocouple connector wiring information, see pages 27-29.

(Standard) or Y Power Distribution System
|
Smart Series

As shown above, each module is powered from one of the three phases. Zone (1), for
example, is powered from Phase 1, which is supplied by R/L1 and S/L2. Zone (2) is
powered by Phase 2, which is supplied by S/L2 and T/L3. Zone (3) is powered by Phase
3, which is supplied by R/L1 and T/L3.

NOTE: At this point, the sequence repeats itself. For example, Zone (4) is connected
the same as Zone (1) to R/L1 and S/L2 and Zone (5) is connected the same as Zone (2) to
S/L2 and T/L3 and Zone (6) is connected the same as Zone (3) to R/L1 and T/L3. Zone (7)
is then connected to the same phase as Zone (1) and (4), etc. This method of connection
assures the greatest likelihood of line balance.

mainframe could result if this type of AC input system is connected to a mainframe wired as OPTION A. This type of power
distribution is not found or is very uncommon in the United States but is the most common system found in many other
countries worldwide.

WARNING: If export of this system is intended, make sure that wiring is reconfigured for the country where it is to be used.

Please note that the 380-415 Volt Power Distribution System is the same as the Y connection shown in OPTION A except
for the voltage levels and the use of the MP/N to develop the 240 volt from the 380-415 volt system. Notice that all modules
have one line connected to MP/N and the other side connected to one of the three phase lines.

Example: Zone (1) is connected to Phase 1, which is supplied by R/L1 and MP/N.
Zone (2) is connected to Phase 2, which is supplied by S/L2 and MP/N.
Zone (3) is connected to Phase 3, which is supplied by T/L3 and MP/N.
Zone (4) starts the sequence over again. It is connected to Phase 1 R/L1
and MP/N, etc.

OPTION C 240 VAC, Two-Phase, 4-Wire


Input Power Wiring Diagrams (Options C and D)

The 240 volt single-phase connection only uses two power lines plus ground.

CAUTION: Only power conductors should be connected through the circuit breaker. Never make ground
connections through a circuit breaker. Notice that the output of the circuit breaker is connected to terminal strips
R/L1 and S/L2. Also notice that ground is common with MP/N in this system. All zones in this system have to be
connected to MP/N and either R/L1 or S/L2. Line balance is achieved by alternating between R/L1 and S/L2.

OPTION D 208 240 VAC, Single-Phase, 3-Wire or 120 VAC,


Two-Phase, 4-Wire
|
Smart Series

Above diagram depicts two different wiring configurations. One is 208-240 volt, single-phase, 3-wire. Note that
lines R/L1 and S/L2 are connected through the circuit breaker to the appropriate terminal strips. All zones will be
connected between R/L1 and S/L2. MP/N is common with ground and is not connected through the circuit breaker.

In the 120 volt connection (zone connections shown within the dashed-line area), the 120 volts is developed between
R/L1 and MP/N and S/L2 and MP/N. Again, ground and MP/N are not connected through the circuit breaker. Each
zone in this system will be connected to MP/N and either R/L1 or S/L2. Line balance is achieved by alternating
between R/L1 and S/L2.

OPERATION
The user plugs the IPC into a standard wall outlet. If machine control or automatic hold of the peak pressure signal is desired, a
normally open relay contact is attached via the rear panel connector. If control of the machine is desired, the IPCs control relay
is wired back to the machine via the same connector. A DME pressure sensor is then attached via the rear panel and the unit is
set to the appropriate pin size calibration. The pressure offset value is adjusted to zero with the front panel ZERO adjustment.
The CAL push-button is pressed in and the CAL adjustment is then set for 8900 PSI. The user then sets IPC to the actual pin
size being used and the IPC is ready to run. With the IPC set to MONITOR, the user notes and records the peak pressure
obtained during acceptable part production. The SETPOINT is adjusted to 50 to 80% of the recorded peak. The user then places
the IPC into the CONTROL mode and adjusts the SETPOINT until the desired peak pressure is achieved. It will be necessary to
add time or distance to the machines booster setting for the IPC to take control. The amplied signal output can be connected
to process recording equipment or a molding machines pressure signal input.

Slide Mold Pressure Sensors

DME Slide Mold Pressure Sensors are used for measuring


pressures in conjunction with auxiliary recording and control
equipment in injection and transfer molds. They provide a
constant, full-scale output of 2 millivolts per volt. Because
each sensor is electrically identical, the need for recalibration
of control systems or recorders when a sensor is replaced is
virtually eliminated. This means that errors in calibration are
non-existent and operating personnel will now have an easier
time setting up and operating control systems and recorders.
Constant Output
All sensors have the same output. This eliminates the need to Easily Removed
recalibrate the readout system when sensors are exchanged. Allows user to take sensor from one mold and place in another.
Hermetically Sealed Two Models
Allows the sensor to be used at low temperatures where Covers ejector pin sizes from 1/16" to 1/2" diameter,
moisture is a problem. eliminating the need for stocking several different load ranges.

edge of the ejector plate to an ejector pin (slot machined in

Using Process Controls and Monitoring


to Achieve Optimal Molding Results

DME button sensors, slide sensors and injection process controllers


can be used for a number of applications. Assuming one is using newer
injection molding machine technology with 3-stage control, managing the
Ensuring part quality peak cavity pressure during pack (2nd stage) will guarantee consistent
every time. part quality. Peak cavity pressure determines how much plastic is injected
into the part. Having consistent peak pressure during injection, shot after
shot, guarantees that all parts in production are of the same size. This is
referred to as process control.
Using Process Controls and Monitoring to Achieve Optimal Molding Results

Another application is that of process monitoring. By placing an ejector


pin and a sensor at the last location in the part to ll, the sensor can be
used to determine whether a short shot occurred. By determining the
minimum pressure that denes a lled part, monitoring the process can
determine whether a short shot has occurred. Many molders have used
this method to scrap a suspected bad part because they would rather risk
scrapping a good part than supplying a defective part to their customer.
This is a fairly common practice for molders supplying certain industries,
including automotive.

Many customers use DME sensors in conjunction with plant-wide moni-


toring systems to automatically control conveyors. If a specic range of
cavity pressure is not realized during ejection, the part is automatically
scrapped. Again, this practice of scrapping a potentially good part rather
than supplying a bad part to a customer ensures that part quality remains
consistently good.

The DME Injection Process Controller (IPC) can operate in a couple


different ways. It can act as an amplier to supply zero to one, zero to
ve, or zero to 10 volts DC. It can also output a four to 20 milliamp signal.
If the molding machine has cavity pressure control but no strain gauge
amplier, the IPC can be used to ll the void. The IPC can also accept
a relay contact closure indicating that injection forward is occurring. It
can then use a pressure setpoint to trigger a relay contact to inform the
molding machine that a specic cavity pressure has occurred. This action
|

instructs the molding machine to go into a hold (3rd stage) state. Since
Process Controls

there is a slight delay in triggering the machine, a slightly lower setpoint


is used than the peak pressure.

The injection signal into the IPC also triggers a peak hold circuit so that
peak cavity pressure is maintained on the display of the IPC until the end
of injection.

applications, visit www.dme.net.
