via terminal or via remote field bus.
¾ Frequency set by the user from 1000 to 7000Hz for use with DC Transformers
¾ User selectable primary or secondary current measurement.
¾ Six different modes of current regulation are available:
• Duty fixed percentage D‰
• Duty percentage with primary voltage compensation, V‰
• Constant Current IK
• Constant Power PK
• Constant Energy EK
• Adaptive AD
¾ Possibility of setting of welding current from external voltage reference 0-10V
¾ Gain adjustable current regulation loop.
¾ Cycle management of spot welding machines or seam welding machines set by user.
¾ Time management in Cycles or in milliseconds.
¾ Electrical insulation of input and output sections.
¾ Setting up and executing 64 programs, called from external input, internal, sequential or
combined in the early cycle IC1 or IC2 or recalled from the Fieldbus if any.
