Stepper Data
7
The MedWeld 5000 provides steppers, to help compensate for changes
in the welding environment. These stepper settings are programmable,
to control how the timer unit will compensate for these variations.
What is a Stepper?
The MedWeld 5000 provides A linear stepper type:
•
A linear stepper adds heat according to a stepper profile, which is
programmed by the operator.
You program steppers using the WTC programming device. Tell the
timer unit which stepper you want to control the weld schedule, by
using the stepper assignment function #82 LINEAR STEPPER. This
assigns a stepper number to the schedule.
You can program up to 63 linear steppers. The following sections
describe the linear stepper type, along with directions on how to
program the stepper.
You can assign a stepper to a group. This capability allows for
incrementing the stepper when the control executes any weld schedule
assigned to that group. You can also advance or reset a group of
steppers.
82 LINEAR STEPPER #nn ASSIGNED (0=OFF)
Function #82 assigns a linear stepper to a weld schedule. Each linear
stepper has 5 programmable levels (called “steps”) providing additional
energy. When it appears in a weld schedule, this function advances
(increments) the appropriate stepper each time you execute the
schedule. If you include this function, it MUST be the
first
function in
the schedule. Valid stepper numbers are 1 – 63. To disable a stepper for
a schedule, assign the stepper as zero (#0).
