SECTION VI - PROGRAMMING
6.0 INTRODUCTION
Programming is simply the name used to describe the process of entering the
values for functions within a particular weld schedule. The PROGRAM mode may
be used to CREATE a new weld schedule or to MODIFY (make changes) to an
existing weld schedule. The PROGRAM mode is also used to create a new weld
schedule by COPYING an existing weld schedule and then MODIFYING the copy
of the original with the desired changes.
In addition to the CREATE, MODIFY and COPY functions, the PROGRAM
mode also allows the user to make BACK UP copies of the memory. This
function provides both security in case of a failure in system memory and provides
a method to TRANSFER the memory from one system to another to insure
multiple system users of identical weld schedule libraries.
CAUTION
AUTHORIZATION AND ACCESS TO THE “PROGRAM” MODE SHOULD BE
CONTROLLED BECAUSE “DELETION” OF WELD SCHEDULES FROM
MEMORY IS ALSO A FEATURE OF THIS MODE. To CREATE a schedule the
OPERATE mode switch must be in the PROGRAM position. All programming starts
from the STATUS screen.
This section explains very basic operation of each of these programming functions.
For the most part the M-227 is self teaching because of the instructions on the
screens, only general information is given in this section.
6.1 CREATE A WELD SCHEDULE
1. Press the C key until the status screen appears. Press the PRO key and the
following screen will appear on the displays.
USE F KEYS TO SELECT PROGRAMMING MODE
OR USE C KEY TO RETURN TO STATUS SCREEN
CREATE MODIFY COPY DELETE TRANSFER
*** *** *** *** ***
NOTE
Use of the C key - Anytime during programming the entire process can be
stopped by pressing the C key. If this is done the M-227 will ask the
programmer to confirm that cancellation of the programming sequence is
desired. If the C key is pressed again, all data ENTERED TO THAT POINT for
THAT weld schedule will be ignored (not put in memory) and the system
will return to the Status Screen. If the C key is pressed by accident then press
the CE key to continue programming without a loss of data.
