Section 5 - Touch Screen Menus

RUN Mode

When the welder is first turned on after the E-Stop switch is reset (see Figure 4-4), the STARTUP screen is displayed as shown in Figure 5–1 directing the operator to Activate both RUN SWITCHES to reset machine. Press both switches simultaneously and hold until a beep sounds, which will take several seconds. A second beep will sound a few seconds after the first, indicating that the welder is ready to run a weld cycle (the bar under the smiley face will become green at the same time). The message area is now clear and the STATUS icon in the upper left has changed to a smiley face with a green band below it as shown in Figure 5–2. If, when the switches are activated as described above, the tooling hub begins to oscillate instead of rotating smoothly, press the E-Stop and then check that the correct tooling inertia is entered as described later in this manual in the SETUP Menu (under TOOL SETUP).

Screen Layout

The screen has the same basic layout for most of the selected operations. The STATUS icon indicates the ready state of the machine. To the right of the icon is the name of the currently loaded Setup File. Below the file name is the Message Area. The three mode select buttons on the left side below the status icon select either a Run mode (RUN), a Weld Setup screen (SETUP), or the Setup Utilities screen (TOOLS). The selected mode is indicated by a darkened button. The center of the screen displays the parameters from the last weld cycle. The Part Data button on the right displays a report of previously welded parts.

The screen shots on this page all show the RUN mode. The RUN screen is the default startup screen. This screen needs to be selected in order to initiate a weld cycle. Just below the PROCESS DATA label as shown in Figure 5-2, there are a number of fields containing part data. The Part Nr. field identifies the current sequential part number. The Limits field indicates if the last weld was within programmed process limits and displays “–” if no limits were violated, “S” for suspect part, “B” for a bad part, or “E” for an error. A suspect or
