1. Introduction
The iPAK2 and iPAK2v2 controllers are suitable for MFDC spot, projection, roll-spot, seam and
multi-welding applications.
The controller supports:
pre-heat, main heat and post-heat intervals
force profiles
multi-air valve applications
multi-electrode applications
Multiple communication and control options are supported by a number of programming
methods. The Ethernet port supports simultaneous programming and control connection via a
single physical cable. iPAK2v2 includes integrated EtherNet/IP. For iPAK2, EtherNet/IP can be
provided via an optional plug-in adapter board.
Short-circuit proof outputs and a guided-contact pilot relay provides enhanced safety.
Connection to the power system is via a single ribbon cable. Analog inputs and outputs can be
used to drive a proportional air regulator valve for force control.
Operation in Standard mode provides a basic set of features for simple applications. Extended
mode adds advanced features for more demanding applications. Choose between Standard
or Extended features (See Configuration section). iPAK2 must be restarted after changing this
setting.
