ing Energy for the first mode and Time for the
second mode or vice versa. Each of the blocks
labeled Pressure 1 and Pressure 2 are equivalent
to the Single Pressure Weld Method branch with-
out Ground Detect. Note that the Auto Probe Trig-
ger Method bypasses the Single/Dual Pressure
Weld Mode and jumps directly to Weld Method.
The Dual Pressure mode is a feature exclusive to
the DPC II Plus model and is not available on the
EZ Series.
PRESS Mode Example
We will now go through programming a typical
press configuration with no automation and us-
ing dual pressure mode. We will assume that a
Power Output module is also installed. If your
configuration does not have this module, you can
still follow along and substitute Time anywhere
we have selected Energy.
We will start from an initial DPC power up, so cycle
the AC power switch off then back on. If you are
using a dual–pressure press, make sure the pres-
sure select switch is in the
WELD
position. The
screen first displays the firmware revision and then
the hardware configuration as shown in Figures
7–1 and 7–2. The screen then displays the previ-
ous weld cycle data on the Operate screen. This is
shown in Figure 7–4 which is repeated here as Fig-
ure 7–31. If you do not have a Power Output mod-
ule, your screen will look like Figure 7–3.
Press the
MODE
key once (see Figure 7–32) and
the screen changes from the Operate screen to the
Process Setup menu as shown in Figure 7–33.
