Overview
Plastic Extrusion Template is a preconfigured application software for scalable control of a single extruder up to a complete extrusion line.
The Template provides management of a maximum of 128 temperature control zones, Master/Slave motor control with synchronism, and closed loop melt pump control.
Innovative solutions for efficient power management have been introduced for temperature control.
Based on its many years of experience in extrusion control, Gefran has developed dedicated energy optimization controls for two phases of the extrusion process: a first Warm-up phase, with Energy Saving function, and a second Production phase, with Smart Power Manager function.
In addition to standard extrusion functions, the Template provides a series of automation functions:
Active and historical alarms management
User management
Recipe management (configuration and production)
Multilanguage management
Preventive maintenance management
Graphs for temperature and analog trends
Operator access log
Weekly clock for temperature control activation
Remote access
Connection to HMI/Scada via Modbus TCP
The Template software is open-source code for easy customization of the graphic interface and of machine control.
