CHAPTER 6 – WELDS COUNTER FUNCTION
A welds counter has been built into the control unit to count the welds carried out, with the possibility of
programming the max limit. During the process, the counter's present value is displayed.
The counter increases at each performed weld whilst cycles performed in NO WELD mode are not counted.
In order to reset the counter, press keys
and
simultaneously for about 1 second. The following message
is displayed:
CLEAR COUNTER
SPOTS? [-]=YES
On pressing key
the counter resets and after 8 seconds the procedure ends without resetting the counter.
The maximum welds number is set by following the same procedure stated for the stepper function.
For example, if the control unit is set to carry out 2840 welds and then stops, set the following parameters in the
setup menu:
PARAMETER VALUE
TOTAL STEPS
1
SPOTS 1
2840
INCREMENT 1
0%
When the counter reaches the number of welds set in parameter SPOTS 1, the control unit shows the following
message:
MAX SPOTS
NUMBER
and does not permit carrying out other welds until the counter has been reset.
If the SPOTS 1 parameter is set to zero, the stop function is disabled.
