Special Features in V9.xx Firmware
4 100-214-273 Rev. 1
Ext Signal: Note: Not a new V9.xx feature but repeated here for clarity. Now the hardware pin and function
is selectable in the User I/O menu.
Used as input to allow external input to trigger amplitude or force change (model dependant).
Optionally used as the start cycle input when in Hand Held mode.
Ext Sonics Delay: A cycle where the ultrasonics are not started after the horn contacts the workpiece until
an external device has determined that the cycle should continue. It may be a test apparatus or perhaps a
part-marking operation.
Note: The Cycle Abort input can be used to end the welder cycle and not waste time on a workpiece that the
external apparatus determined to be a reject.
Ext Start (input and output): These are both input and output signals, and both must be turned on and
assigned a hardware input and output pin in order to function.
Once the unit has received a legitimate start input the External Start output pin activates an external device
(horn clamp cylinder, sound enclosure door, part in position, etc) before moving the horn. When the external
device becomes active, it then signals the External Start input to commence the welder’s horn travel and
weld cycle. To enable this feature, select the System Configuration menu, then User I/O menu.
While in that menu you can also set “Ext Start Dly” of up to 10.0 sec. to wait before receiving the External
Start input before setting an alarm.
Modified Alarm: A user output signal that indicates a user-set compensating condition occurred, (Only
energy at this time).
Note: An alarm condition of the lowest priority.
Overload Alarm: A user output signal that will indicate that a power supply overload condition occurred
during the last weld, test or seek cycle.
Select Preset #16 (pin 31 only):
Sonics Disable: When this User I/O input is active, ultrasonic energy is forced off. If active throughout a
weld cycle, a “dry” cycle will occur: should the weld mode be indeterminate (energy, power, etc) then the
time normally used for the “weld” will extend out to the maximum allowed.
Sync In Sync Out (syncro weld cycle): This is when multiple welders cycle against the same workpiece, and
their ultrasonic power is started simultaneously in Sync for a particular application issue. Sync In is used in
conjunction with Sync Out.
