The iPAK2v2 has the ability to control up to 8 air valves. Multi-valve operation requires Extended mode to be enabled in
the configuration.
The list of all Force Profile Control parameters that can be defined in a weld program can be found in Table 25 .

Parameter
Units Range Description
Squeeze:
1
kN/lbf variable Force used from the start of the Squeeze interval
Pre-heat:
1
kN/lbf variable Force used from the start the Pre-heat interval
Cool 1:
1
kN/lbf variable Force used from the start the Cool1 interval
Upslope:
1
kN/lbf variable Force used from the start the Upslope interval
Force: (Main heat) kN/lbf variable
Force used from the start of the Main heat
interval
Cool2 kN/lbf variable Force used from the start of the Cool2 interval
Downslope:
1
kN/lbf variable
Force used from the start of the Downslope
interval
Post-heat:
1
kN/lbf variable Force used from the start the Post-heat interval
Hold:
1
kN/lbf variable Force used from the start the Hold interval
Wait for force:
2
YES/NO Wait until the applied force has been reached
Test force: YES/NO
Test the applied force at the end of the Main
interval
Low limit: % 0 - 99 Force low limit
High limit: % 0 - 99 Force high limit
1. Force profile program option must be enabled, FORCE PROFILE: YES to use this extended
feature. If the force profile option is disabled the Main heat force is used for the duration of
the weld.
2. Occurs at the same time as 2nd stage. If Wait for force is required without 2nd stage, select
2nd stage Before or After Squeeze (See Configuration section) and permanently assert the
2nd stage input.
Table 25: Force Control Parameters
5.3.1.5 Valve Control Parameters
The iPAK2v2 has eight discrete outputs (AV1 – AV8) that can be operated independently during a welding sequence. The
valves are categorized as WAV, MOTOR, or AUX valves. The outputs are 24 V dc short circuit protected, monitored
guided contact relay.
•
WAV – a valve turns on at the start at the sequence and turns off at the end of the Hold interval.
•
MOTOR – a valve that turns on after the 2
nd
Stage test, and turns off at the start of the Hold interval
•
AUX – a valve may be programmed to come on during any interval of the weld sequence, including
during Off time in repeat or roll-spot mode. Note: This is similar to Event programming in iPAK timer.
