102 Abort Conditions — Shutdown Errors
9.8 Abort Conditions — Shutdown Errors
Abort conditions are shown on the Alarms screen and the Event History screen. The
conditions listed in Table 9-7 cause audible and visual alarms. Because they are shutdown
errors, they will cause a zone or system shutdown condition controlled by the PCM settings.
Auto Slave Enabled A zone’s thermocouple has become defective as the system
operates in automatic control mode. The system has
automatically slaved this zone to a different zone with the use of
data it collected before the thermocouple became defective.
The zone with the defective thermocouple becomes controlled
by the power output from a similar zone. The master zone
number is shown in the Slave to Zone field of the defective zone
on the Quick Set screen.
AMC Active A zone’s thermocouple has become defective as the system
operates in automatic control mode. There was no match found
for this zone in the mold by the Auto-Slave feature or the Auto-
Slave feature is OFF. The zone has been set to go into Automatic
Manual Control (AMC) in this event. The zone is now controlled
in manual mode at a power percentage selected by the
controller with the use of data it collected before the
thermocouple became defective.
Power Deviation The zone’s power output value has deviated by an amount
calculated by the power deviation algorithm. The power
deviation algorithm uses calculation factors, which include a
historical power average, heater type, changes to the power
supplied to the unit, and other values.

Shut Down Error Description
Abort Over Temp A zone's actual temperature is more than its setpoint by the
degrees set in the Abort Window field on the Quick Set screen.
Abort Under Temp A zone's actual temperature is less than its setpoint by the
degrees set in the Abort Window field on the Quick Set screen.
Circuit Overload The current on this zone has increased above the maximum
value for current deviation.
Configuration Each zone’s control parameters are compared to the values sent
and received by each zone. If the values are different, the system
automatically corrects the problem. If the problem is not
corrected after one minute, the configuration alarm is triggered.
