the weld is finished, given there are no deviations, a screen will appear
showing that there were no deviations during the procedure.
When a deviation is registered it will show exactly when it occurred: in
which Level, what time in the Level, what degree of rotation the deviation
occurred at, and the type of deviation.
Once the deviation screen reverts back to the weld screen, the only way to
view the procedure deviations is to return to the LOG MENU and select this
option. This will then show the deviations from the previous weld.
At the operator’s discretion, he may decide to print these deviations
using option [2 Print Deviations] from the LOG MENU or option [8 Print
Deviations] from the PRINT MENU.
Option [0 Erase Log on Disk] allows the operator to erase any saved logs,
which are on the diskette.
When selected, the library of logs that are on the diskette will appear; this
will appear similar to the procedure library.
Use the cursor keys to highlight the log to be erased.
Pressing [ENTER] will prompt to erase the highlighted log, with the
command:
OK to Erase?
Press “Y” or [YES] to erase. Press “N” on the keyboard, or [NO] on the
HHC to keep. If it is the last log to be erase, once the “Y” or [YES] is
pressed, a DISK prompt will appear:
* DISK: No File
- Hit Any Key -
This means there are no more logs in the library.
Option [T Copy Log to Disk] allows the operator to save the current weld
log to a diskette.
This diskette with the saved weld log can now be utilized on any PC that
has Microsoft Excel © loaded. In this program, the results from the weld log
(deviations, amps, volts and motor speed) can be examined and plotted to
resemble the Strip Chart printout.
This is especially useful when either of the save options are not enabled,
but the operator needs to save a particular log.
When doing so, the Short Log File function still applies. Meaning if
Short Log File is enabled, then when the log is copied to the diskette,
only the procedure parameter information will copy and not the weld
performance data.
7. Personal Computer (PC) Development
The operation of the ACL software under the PC Development Operations is
essentially the same as for a standard ACL System (consult ACL Operating
Systems Manual-Welding Operations), except that the availability of functions
on the PC are considered “enabled” and “disabled”. For example: with no
weldhead connected to the PC, no motor calibration can be performed.
No provision is made for the HHC, so all operator input is via the keyboard
and displays to the operator are via the monitor.
If there is a printer connected, it must be LPT1 and operate in the
Epson-compatible mode, because of this; it is recommended that only Dot
Matrix type printers be used to print from the program while using the PC
Development software.
