2000X energy Power Supply Chapter 4: Installation and Setup
Instruction Manual Start Switch Connection (Automation)

PB1 and PB2 are two normally open start-switches which must be operated simultaneously to start the
welding cycle. These must be closed within 200 milliseconds of each other, or error message: "Start Sw
Time" will display. This doesn’t require a reset, but for the next cycle, switches must be within time limit
to preclude re-occurrence of error message. Refer to Note above.
EMER STOP is an emergency stop switch, normally closed.
4.6.1 Serial (RS-232) Port Connector
An RS-232c serial port (DB-9 format) is provided for the Remote Terminal or Host Computer option. Only
three data leads of this port are supported at this time (Data Send TXD, Data Receive RXD, and Signal
Ground GND). The remainder of the leads are ‘reserved’. A null modem cable is required.
The comport parameters are fixed, can not be altered or viewed in the menu.
The fixed values are:
com speed = 9600 baud
no parity
1 stop bit
8 data bits
If you are using the Remote Terminal option, connect a ‘Branson terminal’ device to this port to set up the
system, change parameters, and access system menus.
If you are using the Host Computer Interface, a custom-designed program is written for use with this serial
port. Check with your Branson representative or Branson Customer Support.
4.6.2 Parallel Printer Connector
The Printer Connector supports several printer models, both dot matrix and ink jet, to provide printed reports
of your weld information, and to provide graphical representation of your weld results. The tractor feed fea-
ture of dot matrix printers is preferred for many manufacturing applications. If necessary, consult your Bran-
son representative for recommendations for your specific needs.
The printers listed in Table 4.5 have been fully tested to confirm compatibility with Branson products. Print-
ers that were tested and are NOT compatible are the Panasonic 1091 and Epson LX300.
The printer interface uses a standard 36-pin Centronics cable (Branson printer cable EDP 100-143-043).
** Includes both off the shelf and Branson supplied units. However, all units excepting the Branson supplied
Okidata 520 may not stop printing when abort is selected in the menu. The data may have been transferred
to the printer and can’t be halted.
