Overview / Design Principle:
The 6600 is a 1/16 DIN temperature 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
to as adaptive tuning. This control can also be manual
fine tuned for specific applications.
This temperature 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.
