Symptoms

The packaging machine reports a temperature control anomaly. A sealing or forming temperature is outside the acceptable tolerance band.

Possible Causes

  • Heater element burned out or not energizing
  • Temperature controller PID tuning issue
  • Thermocouple or RTD sensor drifted or failed

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Check the heater element for continuity and proper resistance
    Heater shows correct resistance and energizes
  2. Step 2: Verify the thermocouple or RTD reading against a reference
    Sensor reads accurately within tolerance
  3. Step 3: Tune the PID parameters for stable temperature control
    Temperature holds at setpoint without oscillation

How to Reset

To reset: Resolve the temperature control issue, then clear the alarm.
