Software Capabilities
The MedWeld 5000 provides commands for:
•
Assigning a stepper to a schedule,
• Defining a linear stepper program,
• Turning selected outputs on or off and
• Providing weld current.
Other functions enable
•
Overriding the setup parameters,
• Controlling the I/O by monitoring inputs and activating outputs,
• Regulating weld current to fall within a prescribed range, and
repeat the weld if the current is not within that range,
• Statistical process control (SPC) functions,
• Selecting the firing mode (to assure consistent voltage or to assure
constant secondary current)
• Pausing in a schedule to wait for certain operating conditions to
become true.
The software allows users to add or delete functions from this list, or
change any of the numeric values specified in a function. This allows for
the creation of a schedule that meets your application requirements.
The following sections describe the functions available for use in a weld
schedule, including the two-digit function code and the action each
function produces.
The functions are grouped according to their purpose in a weld
schedule, and to aid your understanding their overall interaction.
