When instances for temperature zones are created, the BrowseNames shall be “TemperatureZone_<Nr>” (starting with 1) or as specified for the subtypes of TemperatureZonesType (e.g. “BarrelTemperatureZone_<Nr>” for instances of BarrelTemperatureZoneType, see 17.2.10).

The Index Property gives the number of the zone.
NOTE: If the Property Classification is used, for each temperature zone type the Index may start with 1.
The Name Property represents the name of the zone.
This Property informs the client if the temperature zone is physically present and connected. May be FALSE e.g. when instances for possible temperature zones are created (depending on the capabilities/connectors of the machine) which are currently not used.
This Property informs the client about the type of the temperature zone. The TemperatureZoneClassificationEnumeration is defined in Table 67.

|
HOT_RUNNER |
4 |
The zone is a hot runner zone |
|
MEASURING |
5 |

NominalTemperature |
Nominal value (absolute) (e.g. 200°C) |
No |

HighDeviationTemperature1 |
Maximum value that is in the normal tolerance. A higher actual value may create a warning. Used for quality control. Relative value (e.g. +10°C). |
Yes |
|
LowDeviationTemperature1 |
Minimum value that is in the normal tolerance. A lower actual value may create a warning. Used for quality control. Relative value (e.g. -15°C). |
Yes |
|
HighDeviationTemperature2 |
Maximum tolerable value. A higher actual value may create an alarm. Relative value (e.g. +30°C). |
Yes |
|
LowDeviationTemperature2 |
Minimum tolerable value. A lower actual value may create an alarm. Relative value (e.g. -25°C). |
Yes |

The ActualTemperature Property represents the current temperature of the Zone.
The StandbyTemperature Property represents the standby temperature of the Zone.
The TemperatureZoneType has two subtypes to distinguish between temperature zones on barrels and in moulds.

The Position Property represents the location of the temperature zone on a barrel. Counting starts with 1 beginning from the feeding. The highest position is at the nozzle.
When instances are created the BrowseNames shall be “BarrelTemperatureZone_<Nr>” (starting with 1).

The subtype has no additional child elements.
When instances are created the BrowseNames shall be “MouldTemperatureZone_<Nr>” (starting with 1).
NOTE: Each MouldTemperatureZone belongs to a Mould. Numbering starts with 1 for each Mould. That means Mould_1 has a MouldTemperatureZone_1 and Mould_2 has also a MouldTemperatureZone_1.
