Machine Cycle Definition and Operation

There are 41 machine cycles that can be selected and run. Machine cycles can be modified or made “unavailable” by manually editing them in Modify Cycle Menu or by using the PDA or network to download a modified machine cycle into the control. Machine cycles cannot be deleted, but can be made “unavailable” so that they are not visible from the Cycle Menu. New machine cycles cannot be created, but existing machine cycles that have been edited to be “unavailable” may be re-edited to be available again.

Rotation Sensor Equipped

Machines

On machines equipped with a rotation sensor, the control monitors the rotation sensor to verify the cylinder is rotating. The control calculates the cylinder’s RPM. If the RPM drops to zero while the cylinder is supposed to be rotating, the control will advance to the Cool Down segment of the cycle and an error message will be displayed.

Machine Cycle Operation

When a cycle is run, the control runs the cycle segment by segment in a sequence. First the control examines the Cycle Type chosen to determine if it is a Time Dry, Auto-Dry or Moisture Dry (if equipped) cycle type. Then the first segment is examined to see if it is programmed to “On” or “Off”. If the segment is programmed to “Off”, control skips to the next segment.

At the start of some machine cycles, the control displays a Total Remaining Cycle time. This time is taken from the machine cycles as they are programmed. The Total Remaining Cycle Time begins to count down as soon as the cycle is started.

Time Dry Cycle

In this type of cycle, the control will regulate the temperature and time duration as programmed for the cycle chosen.

Auto-Dry Cycle

If this type of cycle is selected, the control determines the cycle time based on the temperature and dryness level programmed for the cycle chosen.

Moisture Dry Cycle (if equipped)

In this type of cycle, the control checks the programmed material type, programmed target moisture content, programmed temperature and the data received from the moisture sensing system to achieve the desire results.

Figure 5

The Cycle Menu is the first menu displayed by the control after power-up. The Cycle Menu allows the user to select one of the 41 machine cycles. Machine cycles that are turned off will not be displayed on the Cycle Menu. As a default, the last run cycle will be displayed in the center, highlighted position. The factory default cycle will be Cycle01.
