Features

Melt-Manager™ Plus™ Control Systems are formatted for touch-screen, flat-panel computers, and provide an “easy to use” graphic interface, where most screens are accessed with a single touch. The graphic screens will assist the operator throughout the complete melting process, which can include:

  • Melt Control Modes for kWh Melting: Assists in accurately reaching the desired pouring temperature with hold-power setting; optimizes power usage and reduces electric utility charges; includes coldstart scheduling for pre-heating the furnace to improve production efficiency, and for sintering, for reducing manpower requirements and improving lining life.
  • Data History and Trending: Provides automatic collection of operational data that can be displayed on trend charts to provide operators and managers with a graphical rendering of the melt system’s daily operational history.
  • Events and Alarm Logging: Records and displays the system’s alarm and events history from a date calendar, providing operators and managers with a clear view of daily operations, making it easy to identify utilization factors, overall production efficiency and any operational delays.
  • Diagnostic Screens: Offers complete system I/O signal diagnostic information available via a comprehensive color coded screen to explore troubleshooting processes and provide inverter information and communications activity.
  • Ethernet Industrial Protocol: For customer systems to gain access to melt process run-time and diagnostic data formatted for PLCs and Host Computer Systems.
