D2: A delay set to allow time for the weld head to fully extend. Once the weld has fully descended,
the weld discharge will be triggered. This will timeout after 10000 milliseconds.
Pulse 1: The duration of this delay is dependent on the energy programmed on welder for pulse 1.
Cool: The duration of this delay is dependent on the time programmed on welder for time between
pulses. User can select between 1 and 100 milliseconds. This time will be ignored if either pulse is
disabled.
Pulse 2: The duration of this delay is dependent on the energy programmed on welder for pulse 2.
Hold Time: A user dened delay that occurs from the time pulse 2 ends and the weld head begins to
return to home position.
D3: After this delay the Weld Ready signal will return to a high position. This delay will depend on the
time needed to charge to the desired energy, but will typically be between 50 and 5000 milliseconds
minus the length of the hold time.
Automation
The CDDP-A units will come with a basic PLC connection. For more information on pinout and
connections, please refer to the Back Panel Connections section of the user manual on p. 9.
• Through the 8 DIN connector a PLC has access to the following inputs:
▪ Two general inputs. (Choose from the list below)
▪ Clear Alarm
▪ Primary Trigger
▪ Secondary Trigger
▪ Lockout
▪ Remote Schedule Select
• When this option is selected it will use both inputs. While using Remote Schedule
Select the user can choose which saved welds are to be used via the “Remote
Schedule Select” sub tab within the PLC main tab.
• Through the 8 DIN connector a PLC has access to the following outputs:
▪ Two general outputs (Choose from the list below)
▪ Weld Ready
▪ Weld Good
▪ Weld No Good
▪ Any Alarm
▪ Any Warning
▪ Emergency Stop
▪ Alarm: Temperature
▪ Alarm: Comparator Failures in a row
