WSC-1000 - Weld Sequence Control

WSC-1000™ Weld Sequence Controller

  • The microprocessor based Weld Sequence Controller is comprised of a WSC-1000™ Controller and a WRC-1000™ weld remote Interface. The WSC-1000 is the main control module and provides all control and communication functions and can program external motion control axis via the Local Area Network {LAN} port. The controller can support up to four stepper motor controlled axes, using the MSC-1000 Micro-Step Controller, and four DC Servo controls, using the DMC-1000 DC Servo Controller.
  • The WRC-1000 provides all external Input/Output control interface and electrical connections to the user supplied components. The WSC-1000 consists of two major control systems. The first is a Programmable Logic Controller {PLC} and the second is the Weld Sequence Controller {WSC}. The PLC is the main controlling element and provides the interface between the WSC and the external I/O functions. The PLC is configured by using the terminal serial port. The user can define up to 150 sequences that will be executed by the specified switch inputs. The WSC control provides all of the weld control functions and can be programmed for up to 40 weld schedules via the 16 key keypad or terminal serial port.
  • WELDSEQ Plus™ Software is a product of Computer Weld Technology, Inc. and is designed to operate in conjunction with our WSC-1000™ and MWC™ weld sequence controllers. The program provides a serial communications program, which is used to communicate with the WSC-1000/MWC and program the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and configuration parameters. The program provides a full function, user configurable ASCII terminal program, which can be used to configure all of the WSC/MWC functions. It provides weld data collection routines that allow the user to collect run-time weld data and store this data for future analysis. The WSC/MWC weld schedules can be edited and include a Weld Setup specification sheet, which is used to save process specific information for the current weld schedule. The program also provides a PLC editor, which can be used to generate custom PLC programs.
WELD SEQUENCE EVENTS
  • S1 = Cycle Start
  • S1 - S2 = Prepurge Gas Flow Time
  • S2 - S3 = Arc Start Parameter Time
  • S3 - S4 = Arc Active Delay Time
  • S4 - S5 = Ramp Time
  • S5 - S6 = Weld Time (spot or manual)
  • S6 - S7 = Ramp Down
  • S7 - S8 = Crater Fill Parameter Time
  • S8 - S9 = Wire Retract Time
  • S9 - S10 = Burn Back Time
