These extra controls have been added to independently turn the two internal Relay outputs ON and
OFF, and to switch the machine into Rapid Traverse mode or Set Speed.
The machine is shipped with OUTPUT (1) wired to the contactor relay. By default, this Output turns
ON when the Start button is pressed to run a shape, and turns OFF at the end. The relay contacts are
located on the MDS Drive.
OUTPUT (2) is not wired. The machine can be changed to use Output 2 instead of Output 1 but both
outputs cannot be used at the same time. To change from one output to the other:
1. Open the module.
2. Move the connector from the current output jack to the to the desired jack.
3. See Control Module Wiring Group drawing (MDS-1155-WD)
4. Close module.
By default Output (2) is OFF when a shape is started, until specifically turned ON by the Solenoid/
Weld ON command Type 5, Quad 1.
While running, the Type 5 ON and OFF commands can be used to turn both Outputs On and Off
together, and both turn Off at the end.
When programming Type 6 Quad 3, a Mode Number is required to be entered. The 8 auxiliary modes,
numbered 0 through 7, allow the setting of a mode with any combination of Outputs On or Off, and
choice of Set Speed by the speed knob, or maximum speed regardless of setting. The combinations
are listed in the table below:
Selecting Type 6-4 allows the speed to change to a fraction of the set speed. Display will read “Speed
%”, and data entry is accepted from 1 to 99. Entering 0 or just return will make the speed 100%,
which is the same as set speed.
When the program reaches a Type 6-3 segment while running, the speed will change to the percent
entered, and continue at this setting until there is a later Type 6-3 segment which changes it to
another % setting or back to 100%.
Note:
If Type 6-3 has been set for HI ( rapid traverse ), then this setting will cut down the HI speed to
the same % .
Settings below 10% are not recommended.
AUXILIARY MODES: TYPE 6, QUADRANT 3
SET % SPEED, FRACTION OF SET SPEED: Type 6, Quadrant 4
