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. |
