Dukane 403-570-01 user manual 28RUN Screen with Part Test Failed Button

Section 5 - Touch Screen Menus

The bottom right corner of the POST-WELDscreen contains controls for setting machine behavior when an out-of-limit condition occurs. The Latch on Failure button specifies if the out-of-limit condition will require an acknowledgement from the user before allowing the next cycle to start. This acknowledgement request is indicated by a button on the bottom of the RUN screen as shown in Figure 5-28.

The Suspect / Bad (Abort) button in the right lower corner of the screen controls two aspects of machine function. The first function is to determine if a weld cycle will be aborted if the process parameter falls outside the limits. If Suspect is selected, the machine cycle will complete regardless of the process limit results. If Bad (Abort) is chosen, the machine cycle will continue if any process parameter falls below the Lower limit, or be terminated if it exceeds the Upper limit for the following parameters:

•Weld Time (s)

•Weld Rotations

•Peak RPM

•Peak Torque (% of max.)

•Peak Thrust (% of max.)

•Cycle Time (s)

In the case of cycle termination, the machine will report an error message on the RUN screen listing the parameter for which the limit was exceeded. The second function is to set the character displayed in the Limits field on the RUN screen. If the switch is set to Suspect, the Limits field will display S if the process was outside the limits. If it is set to Bad (Abort), the Limits field will display B if the process parameter was lower than the Lower limit, and E if the process parameter was higher than the Upper limit.
