Description of Programmable Parameters/Variables
Cycle Control (Master)
The following describes the Program Variable Selector Switch settings for the GSP motor control
using Gullco’s GSP-2004-5 micro-processor chip (Cycle Control), as rotated clockwise from zero (0)
top dead center.
Position Details:
0
Normal Operating Position - The control needs to be in this position to allow normal
operation of the unit (top-dead-center).
P. 1 Travel Motion Delay - Sets a delay after the activation of the Arc Signal Relay, prior to
starting the cyclic travel, to allow for such things as shielding gas preflow and to allow
the arc to establish before starting the overlay/surfacing motion. The variable value
range is from 00.0 to 09.9 seconds, in increments of 00.1 seconds.
P. 2 Arc On/Off During Index – When this parameter is set to “On” the Arc Relay Signal
remains energized during the gun/torch indexing motion. When this parameter is set to
“Off” the Cycle Control (Master) will perform a controlled shut down of the Arc Signal
Relay prior to each index and perform a controlled start-up of the Arc Signal Relay
following each index. The variable options are either “On” (illuminated Arc Signal Relay
LED) or “Off” (extinguished Arc Signal Relay LED).
P. 3 Crater Fill Delay - Sets a delay after the cessation of overlay/surfacing travel (including
the end of each cyclic pass, if the “Arc On/Off During Index” (P. 2) is set to “Off”) prior to
de-energizing the Arc Signal Relay, allowing the overlay/surfacing trigger signal to
remain active for a period of time after the motion has stopped. The variable value
range is from 00.0 to 09.9 seconds, in increments of 00.1 seconds.
P. 4 Post Weld Delay - Sets a delay after each Crater Fill Delay (above) prior to allowing the
index motion (only applicable if the “Arc On/Off During Index” (P. 2) is set to “Off”). This
is to allow the overlay/surfacing gun/torch to remain stationary over the end of the
overlay/surfacing for such things as burnback or postflow to occur. The variable value
range is from 00.0 to 09.9 seconds, in increments of 00.1 seconds.
