9.5.2.1
Counter Outputs
When Tip Dressing is enabled the iPAK2v2 will activate the Tip Dress Request output when the End Count value is
reached.
9.5.3
Calibration
For multi-welder or multi-head configurations where a single control drives multiple valves and/or transformers, the
calibration procedures may need to be done for each electrode. Refer to the
or
section for calibration procedure.
9.5.3.1
CCC Calibration
For a
multi-welder configuration
used for spot welding, the CCC Calibration procedure must be done for each individual
electrode. Refer to the
Calibration Procedure for Constant Current Calibrated Mode (“CCC”)
procedure.
Toroid (Rogowski coil) on Multi-Electrode System
For a
multi-welder or multi-head configuration,
it
is not recommended
that
secondary measuring be performed using a toroid (Rogowski coil). Toroids need
to be switched in and out of the circuit at the appropriate moment in the
sequence or errors will occur. The CT method of secondary measurement is
recommended.
9.5.3.2
Force Calibration
For a
multi-welder or multi-head configuration,
the Force must be calibrated independently for each electrode. Refer to
section for calibration procedure.
9.5.3.3
Current Measurement
For a
multi-welder or multi-head configuration,
it
is not recommended
that secondary measuring be performed using a
toroid (Rogowski coil). Toroids need to be switched in and out of the circuit at the appropriate moment in the sequence
or errors will occur.
In Multi type configurations, the CT
method is recommended for current measuring
as it does not
require an external toroid (Rogowski coil). Refer to the
section for calibration procedure.
