Series RMC

The Athena Series RMC brings new and highly productive benefits to injection molders looking for a modular hot runner controller thats flexible, easy to set up, and simple to operate. Using the popular Modbus communications protocol, the Series RMC gives users the ability to set or change all zones, either remotely from a desktop computer, or (with the ALL command) from any other individual RMC module in the mainframe.

• Choice of three default modes for open thermocouple condition
• Built-in triac safety protection
• Accepts J or K thermocouple input (jumper selectable) SafeChangeTM “hot swap feature allows safe removal and replacement of module
• CompuStep bake out feature prevents moisture at startup
• Built-in loop break, short, open, and reverse thermocouple protection
• Boost mode for temporary % of power output increase
• Ground-fault protection
• Adjustable setpoint limits
• Stores highest temperature detected
• Current monitor feature displays average current to load
• CE compliant

SERIES RMT

The Athena Series RMT is a microprocessor-based, dual-zone temperature controller specifically designed for runnerless molding applications effectively doubling the zone count per module without doubling the price. It features two easy-to-use operator keypads, four LED displays, and discrete indicators for heat output, alarm, degree F/C indication, manual and closed loop mode.
