Introduction - Jetline 9600 Series Operation Manual

Section II

Introduction

This detailed technical manual is meant to
be used in conjunction with the 9629 Quick
Start manual and the manual for the wire feed
mechanism which you have purchased. The
Quick Start manual is written for the operator
and deals only with the routine operation of
the control. This technical manual provides
details of the set up and calibration procedures
for the control as well as providing information
about the interfacing of the system with other
9600 series controls and ancillary controls. It
also provides troubleshooting and maintenance
information.
The 9629 microprocessor controller has been
developed to provide high quality, precision
control of all Jetline wire feeders. The quality
design and workmanship of this control will
provide many years of dependable service. Its
modern technology will help to provide you with
top quality repeatable weld results. The 9629 is
one of a series of microprocessor controls, all
of which have the same hardware design. Each
9600 series control is rendered unique by its
own custom designed firmware to facilitate the
set up and operation of the control.
The 9629 control is a microprocessor based
control designed and built to provide low cost,
accurate, repeatable control of the wire feed
motor. It is available in two versions:
9629 This control includes a motor controller
and can therefore be connected directly
to the wire feed motor. It is used for
motors used on all standard wire feeders
and provides wire feed accuracy levels
suitable for most applications.
9629 Microprocessor Controller
9629-0 This control does not include a motor
controller. Instead, it provides a 0 to
+10VDC enable contact which can be
used to control a precision motor con-
trol module and a precision motor. In
this format, the unit can be used to feed
wire for the most demanding applica-
tions where the ultimate in accuracy
and consistency are demanded.
The system has three modes of operation. Please
turn to the indicated page to obtain more details
of these modes.
Operator Mode:
This is the mode used by the welding operator
to run the unit. It permits wire speed, start and
stop delays and retract time to be adjusted.

Setup Mode:
This mode is used during the setting up of the
unit. It permits the setting of the jog speed and
retract speeds.

Calibration Mode:
In this mode, the closed loop can be turned on
and off, the unit can be set for inch or metric
units and the calibration can be checked and
set.
