AIM Series Temperature Control Module

The AIM Series Temperature Control Module is a fully microprocessor-based, intelligent hot runner controller that has been designed to operate independently or with the companion ACM or ASM communications modules.

• Compatible with the industry standard IMP, CMP and SMP temperature control modules and G+ mainframes.
• CompuStep® provides gradual phase angle-fired voltage during warmup.
• CompuCycle® utilizes zero crossover power to improve response time, reduce thermal fatigue, and prolong heater life.
• Easy start-up procedure, in one of three predetermined control modes selected by the user.
• Lower and upper setpoint limits can be used to prevent the setpoint from being adjusted beyond a safe operating temperature range.
• Separately adjustable high and low deviation alarms in 1° increments track a set standard deviation to ensure that the operator is aware of any undesirable temperature changes.
• In case of an open thermocouple, the operator can program one of three outputs.
• Multi-level security "lockout" parameter that the operator uses to prohibit access to the module.
• Dual digital display eliminates the parallax error of analog displays, enhances the accuracy of the controller and makes information easier to view.
• Advanced diagnostics automatically inform the user of the following fault conditions: open thermocouple, shorted thermocouple, reversed thermocouple, open heater, high process temperature, and low process temperature.
• Current monitor allows the user to monitor the current to the heater.
• 17 user-adjustable, front panel parameters. The AIM's flexible programming allows the user to modify 17 parameters via the front panel. Once entered the non-volatile memory automatically saves the parameter modifications.
• Control via front panel or communications interface
