Dydac Controls

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.

• Accepts Type J thermocouple
• Bumpless auto/manual transfer
• CompuStep® bake out feature prevents moisture at startup
• Built-in loop break for open heater, shorted triac, reversed or shorted thermocouple
• Open thermocouple break protection with jumperselectable shutdown or average power output based on operation
• Preset alarms at 30°F (17°C)
• SafeChange™ “hot swap” feature allows safe removal and replacement of module
• CE compliant
• 15 amps per zone

The Athena Series RMC brings new and highly productive benefits to injection molders looking for a modular hot runner controller that’s 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
