With a pulsing procedure (High Pulse is not zero), the cursor bow will move
from the High values to the Low values, then down to the A/C values. This
will cause the ACL to alternate polarities from reverse to straight, while the
whole time pulsing the current.
With a non-pulsing procedure (High Pulse is zero), the Low values
disappear and the cursor moves from the High values to the A/C values.
This will cause the ACL to only alternate polarities from reverse to straight.
The Low values of the weld procedure parameters are requested only if
there is pulsing (High Pulse is not zero). The following Low Pulse values
are requested.
2.12.1 Low Pulse Time
This time specifies the length of time each high pulse value in this Level.
Valid values are from 0.00 to 9.99 seconds. The Low Pulse time cannot be
longer than the total Level Time, if a longer time is entered, the program will
automatically adjust the entry to match that of the total Level Time.
2.12.2 Low Current
This is the constant current value of this Level if there is no Current Slope
Time or no pulsing. If sloping exists, then this value is the final Low Pulse
Current value for this Level at the end of the Current Slope Time. If there is
current pulsing, then this is the High Pulse Current value of the Level. Valid
values are from 0.00 to 200.00 amps.
2.12.3 Low Motor Speed
This is the constant value of the motor speed in this Level if there is no
Motor Slope Time or no Step-Pulsing. If sloping exists, then this value is
the final Low Motor Speed value for this Level at the end of the Motor
Slope Time. If there is Motor Step-Pulsing, then this is the value associated
with the Low Pulse value of the current. Valid values are from 0.00 to
10.00 rpm.
Once the Procedure Up-Slope Information is complete, the ACL program will
automatically jump to the Procedure Weld Level Information Screen.
2.13 Procedure Weld Level Information Screen
Level 2 and subsequent Levels’ hereafter, are considered Weld Levels. The
previous Up-Slope Level simply initiated and started welding; these next
Levels will be programmed to perform the actual welding of the tubes, fittings,
and parts. Up to 99 levels are available (excluding the Final Slope Level) for
entering and modifying welding parameters. The welding parameter values
have the same function as in Level 1.
When the cursor box is at the Level Number the parameters for that Level
will show underneath. Changing Levels can be done in several ways: enter
the number of the Level to be viewed then press [ENTER], or press [PAGE
DOWN] to scroll to the next Level or [PAGE UP] to scroll to the previous
Level.
Using the cursor buttons on the HHC [PAGE UP], [PAGE DOWN],
[éSYMBOLS], [CASEê], [ç], and [è], or the arrow keys on the computer
keyboard [ç, è, é, ê] or [ENTER] on either, the operator can move the
highlighted cursor box to enter and/or modify each and every procedure
parameter, such as Level Time, Current Slope and Motor Slope, as well as
Pulse Times, Current and Motor Speeds for both High and Low values.
2.13.1 Level Time
This is the total length of time for the Level. Valid values are from 0.00 to
300.00 seconds. If 0.00 is entered, no other values will be allowed and the
Level will be deleted when exiting the modification option.
2.13.2 Current Slope
This is the time the Current will take to slope from the current in the
previous Level to the current value in the next Level. Valid values are from
