Weld Schedules

MedWeld 5000 Technical Reference Manual  

4 - 15

M-032170  

again checks the status of the WELD INITIATE input, and repeats the 

rest of the schedule. This continues until the processor detects that the 

WELD INITIATE input has been removed. 

NOTE:

Functions #62 and #75 are mutually exclusive. They should NOT appear 

in the same sequence. 

63

TURN ON WELD COMPLETE

Function #63 (TURN ON WELD COMPLETE) will only activate the 

WELD COMPLETE output under the following conditions: There are 

no active fault conditions, AND the BINARY SELECT or WELD 

INITIATE input is still active.
This function only processes the weld data: It does NOT update the 

FAULT and ALERT outputs. These outputs will be updated when the 

control executes the function TURN ON WELD COMPLETE OR at the 

end of the weld schedule. 
This function will be executed only once by the processor. If it appears 

more than once in the schedule, it will be executed the first time it 

appears in the weld schedule.

64

TURN OFF WELD COMPLETE

Function #64 (TURN OFF WELD COMPLETE) will deactivate the 

WELD COMPLETE output under the following conditions: a fault 

occurs, AND the BINARY SELECT or WELD INITIATE input is still 

active.

65

ISOLATION CONTACTOR DELAY (SEC): (0–99)

This parameter tells the control how long to hold the isolationcontactor 

pulled in after the function TURN OFF ISOLATION CONTACTOR 

executes. This is designed to prevent wear on the isolation contactor 

caused by dropping in and out between welds. If ISOLATION 

CONTACTOR SAVER input is available and set LOW, it disables this 

delay timer. 

75

EXTEND UNTIL NO INITIATE 

This function tells the timer unit to monitor the status of the WELD 

INITIATE input, and to extend only the previous function in the weld 

schedule until it detects that the WELD INITIATE input is inactive.

NOTE:

Functions #62 and #75 are mutually exclusive. They should NOT appear 

in the same sequence. 

76

SEC. CURR. LIMITS:  HI = nnnn0  Low=nnnn0

If setting the FIRING MODE: to (SEC CURRENT) in this setup 

parameter, the SEC. CURR. LIMITS function sets a maximum and 

minimum AMP value. 

If the weld control detected 

that the current fired 

during the weld schedule exceeded the high or low current limit a fault 

will occur.

NOTE:

The function  SEC. CURR. LIMITS sets limits that are unique to a given 

weld schedule. The new limits override the limits programmed in the
