Item 8: The last printable item on the line is a comment position used to
indicate that a weld cycle was terminated by one of several external causes.
Dashes in these positions will be the normal output when the weld cycle is
controlled by weld parameter settings. Four external conditions may be
indicated at the end of the line in positions 74 through 78: “Xstop” indicates
an external stop signal was received (the cutoff command), “MnClr” when
the cycle is stopped because the operator pressed the Clear key during the
weld; “Ovrld” if the system aborts due to ultrasonic overload; and “CkLim” if
the cycle has aborted because the preweld limits failed to find the parts at
the proper position. CkLim will only apply when the distance control is ON
(system was purchased with the distance encoder option – Model GXL).
Speed Consideration: If ultimate speed is more important to an application
or the system is not using the print line output, it may be turned off with a
switch on the internal processor board behind the front panel. Switch 5 is
normally set OFF, to prevent the system from sending the print line (the
factory default setting). Turn switch 5 ON to have the print line transmitted
after each cycle. The system will respond to the automation start command
(impulse) more quickly with the print line OFF because the message line will
not be compiled or transmitted in this case.
