Abstract
The invention is a method for operating an extruder temperature controller. The method can include sensing an actual screw speed for an extruder screw in an extruder barrel. The extruder barrel has at least one heat exchange means. The method can then involve indexing and storing a plurality of screw speeds. Each of the stored screw speeds corresponds to a temperature reset value. Comparing the actual screw speed with each of the stored screw speeds can then be performed. Selecting one of the stored screw speeds can then occur. The selected screw speed is a member of the plurality of stored screw speeds having a value most arithmetically equivalent to the actual screw speed. The step of selecting retrieves the temperature reset value corresponding to the selected, stored screw speed. Generating a control output driver signal to the heat exchange means can occur. The control output driver signal is responsive to the retrieved temperature reset value. The invention includes delaying a control alarm for a predetermined time when generating a control output driver signal to the heat exchange means is at or near maximum capacity.
