Process Control, Limit Definition or Utilities
menu. Press the ENTER key to activate the selected
menu. The Process Control Menu selects the trig-
ger method, the welding mode and sets the values
for the welding parameters. This menu’s structure
is the most complex of the three. However, since
the DPC II Plus reconfigures the user interface to
be consistent with the installed modules, only the
relevant portion of the menu structure is displayed.
The flow chart for the Process Control menu is
shown in Figure 6–6. The menu structure builds
logically upon itself starting with the Hand Probe
on the right side and progressing with more op-
tions towards the Press menu on the left. Process
Control is discussed in detail in Section 7.

The main structure of the Process Setup menu is
shown in Figure 6–5. You can press the MODE key
or the CANCEL key twice at any time to return to the
Process Setup menu. The MODE key toggles between
the Weld Cycle data (Operate mode) and Process
Setup menu (Setup mode) each time it is pressed. Pro-
cess Setup is the root menu to select all subsequent
sub menus. The Press menu option is only present if a
Press Control Module is installed. The energy value
is only displayed if a Power Output module is installed.
The Process Control menu sets the welding param-
eters. Limit Definition menu sets the bounds for sus-
pect parts and bad parts. Utilities menu enables you
to save, copy and erase setup files, count parts which
are out of limit and configure status outputs.
