ADAPTIVE-CONTROL OF TEMPERATURES OF PLASTICS PROCESSING MACHINES

Intiated by users' wishes, and on the basis of experiences in the use of adaptive compact controllers in various industrial applications, this paper describes a method for adaptive temperature control tailored to plastics processing machines. It is implemented in an intelligent function card of an automation system for plastics processing machines, and, in addition to conventional individual control loops, also covers applications in which adjacent temperature control circuits have reciprocal influences. This does not entail elaborate handling by the user.
