Automation Interface Requirements for J602 Basic I/O Interface

of a DPC 4 Welding System

The DPC 4 welding system offers several features that are intended to communicate with automation. These features allow the automation to control and respond to events that occur during the welding process. This document will provide guidelines that will help you interface automation to a DPC welding system per Dukane Corporation’s requirements. Information within this document is intended to supplement the information in the DPC 4 manual (Dukane part # 403-557).

Note: Early production models of the DPC IV welding system referred to J602 as the User I/O interface. The functionality of the Basic I/O Interface and the User I/O Interface are identical. Only the name has changed.
