For additional information about how to use these features, refer to the Branson Automation
Guide, available 2006.
External Presets
External selection of (up to 12) presets is accessed and turned On or Off in the System Configuration menu.
This feature can be used in both normal and Hand Held modes. The selection goes into effect for the next
weld cycle. When enabled, inputs can be read when either start switch is received to start a new cycle. The
five user inputs (J3-17, J3-19, J3-31, J3-32, J3-33) are used to decode which preset is recalled.
When a preset is recalled, it will be verified.
A new alarm message has been added that will indicate that a preset has not been defined (saved) or an
attempt has been made to recall a preset not available for a control level.
External selection of presets will default to off. Cold start will not affect the setting.
6 Overload Alarm
Active whenever an overload alarm occurs. It is cleared
by the next cycle or a reset.
7 Modified Alarm
Active whenever a modified cycle alarm occurs, i.e. peak
power cutoff. It is cleared by the next cycle or a reset.
8Note
Active whenever a Note (warning) occurs. It is cleared by
the next cycle or a reset.
9 Missing Part
Active whenever the missing part alarm occurs. It is
cleared by the next cycle or a reset.
10 External Start
Allows power supply to close clamp, then start weld
cycle. Start signal would activate this External Start out-
put. When the External Start input becomes active, then
the SV is activated. Must be used with External Start
input.
11 Sync Out
Works in conjunction with Sync In allowing several weld-
ers to work together and start sonics on all welders at the
same time after all have triggered.
