Installation Steps
NOTICE
Start Switches PB1 and PB2 must be closed within 200 milliseconds of each other, and
remain closed until the WELD ON signal is active, to effect a start condition.
BASE/START is the DB-9 female connection on the back of the actuator. Your cable requires a male DB-9
(D-shell) connector.
PB1 and PB2 are two normally open start-switches which must be operated simultaneously to start the weld-
ing cycle. These must be closed within 200 milliseconds of each other, or error message "Start Sw Time"
will display. This doesn’t require a reset, but for the next cycle, switches must be within time limit to pre-
clude re-occurrence of error message. Refer to Note above.
EMER STOP is an emergency stop switch, normally closed.
NOTICE
Refer to the Branson Automation Guide (EDP 100-214-273) for additional information about
selection and use of Input and Output features.
4.5.9 Serial (RS-232) Port Connector
An RS-232c serial port (DB-9 format) is provided for the Host Computer option. Only three data leads of
this port are supported at this time (Data Send TXD, Data Receive RXD, and Signal Ground GND). The
remainder of the leads are ‘reserved’. A null modem cable is required.
The comport parameters are fixed, can not be altered or viewed in the menu.
The fixed values are:
1. com speed = 9600 baud
2. no parity
3. 1 stop bit
4. 8 data bits
4.5.10 Parallel Printer Connector, 2000X time and 2000X energy only
NOTICE
For use with 2000X distance and 2000X force power supplies, refer to the respective power
supply manuals for printer information.
The Printer Connector supports several printer models, both dot matrix and ink jet, to provide printed reports
of your weld information, and to provide graphical representation of your weld results. The tractor feed
feature of dot matrix printers is preferred for many manufacturing applications. If necessary, consult your
Branson representative for recommendations for your specific needs.
