The Alarm screen displays information about the alarm(s) that have been
triggered by the system encountering parameters outside of the specified
tolerance limits. The screen will indicate whether alarms occurred in Time or
Energy. If there are no alarms, dashes will display. If there are alarms, an L
(for Low limit, indicating that the low limit was violated) and/or an H (for High
limit, indicating that the high limit was violated) will display by the applicable
mode (time or energy). When a new cycle begins, the system will
automatically clear the current alarm.
Counter Screen
The Counter screen displays information about the job number, the number
of cycles run to date, the customer resettable counter (CRC) and the
resettable alarm counter (RAC). The 2 resettable counters can be reset
whenever desired by pressing the Clear key when the counter screen is
displayed. (The keypad must be unlocked.)
RELATIONSHIP OF TIME AND ENERGY SETTINGS
Parameters can be set in the time and energy menus. The settings in both of
these menus should be taken into account when you are setting up a job
since they do not function independently of each other and a parameter in
one menu can impact the effect of a parameter in another menu.
For example, if you specify a weld time of 2 seconds and an energy setting
of 2,000 joules, the weld cycle will be terminated by whichever of the 2
settings (Weld Time or Energy Setting) is reached first – that is, either when
ultrasonics have been applied for 2 seconds or when energy equivalent to
2,000 joules has been delivered to the parts being assembled. If 2 seconds
is reached before 2,000 joules have been delivered, the weld cycle will
terminate regardless of the amount of energy delivered, and vice versa.
The start-up ready screen which shows the last weld information will show a
flashing “sec” or “J” to indicate which setting was achieved first and thereby
terminated the weld cycle. In the example above, if the weld time of 2
seconds is reached before 2000 joules have been delivered, the ready screen
will display “02.00 sec,” with the “sec” flashing, along with whatever energy
was delivered. The peak power delivered (%Pmax) will be displayed as a
percent of the supply rating.
