Data from Process Characteristics
Data from each weld cycle can be monitored through the
available process characteristics.
Programming choices for each characteristic are:
— No Display,
— Display Only,
— Bad Limits, and
— Suspect Limits.
No Display
Figure 5-32 shows that
Position
is the selected process
characteristic, and no choices have been made for that
characteristic. Weld characteristic is not displayed.
Display Only
Figure 5-33 shows Display Only was chosen for the
Weld
Time
process characteristic.
That process characteristic is displayed during normal op-
eration on the
Operate
screen.
Bad Limits
This is also known as
Bad Part Limits.
Figure 5-34 shows that
Peak Power
is the selected char-
acteristic.
Bad Limits
are
ON
, and
Low Limits
and
High
Limits
need to be set.
The Bad part limits are used to establish boundaries that de-
fine unacceptable results for parts that are being processed.
If a bad limit is either not met or is exceed, the weld cycle
is ended immediately, and the operator is notified in these
ways
:
• Two beeps are given (if buzzer is set to
ON
)
.
(See
Buzzer
, Page 80.)
• The
iQ
ES bad part output is activated.
•
BAD
is displayed in the part cycle data.
