CHAPTER 6: USING THE WELCARD
Welcard Data Records
You can capture three kinds of data records on independent Welcards. The three Welcards are:
Schedule Card:
Monitor 1 Card:
Monitor 2 Card:
Installing the Welcard
As indicated in Figure 6-1, you install the Welcard by lifting the Welcard drive knob and
inserting the Welcard with the arrow on the Welcard pointing toward the drive. With gentle
pressure, the Welcard connector will engage with the Power Supply internal drive connector.
Pressing the knob downward over the Welcard top edge completes the installation.
Operating With the Welcard
The read, write and storage operations of the
Welcard are controlled with these eight keys whose
functions are described in Chapter 4. You enter
numerical and alphabetical characters to the display
with the three CURSOR keys and the two DATA
keys.
Initializing the Welcard. An unused or
previously used Welcard must be initialized
(formatted) before recording new data on it. There is
a similar initializing procedure for each of the three
Welcard types. The only difference in the procedures is the key selection of the Welcard type
(Schedule, Monitor 1, or Monitor 2). To initialize the Welcard:
IP-215A/IP-217A FINE SPOT WELDING POWER SUPPLIES

Records weld schedules that you can recall for programming the
weld schedule display. One Welcard can record up to seven
schedules containing thirteen files (one file for each of thirteen
welders), for a total of ninety-one schedules.
Records weld monitoring data during welding. To retrieve the con-
tents of the Monitor 1 Card, you will need the optional Welcard
reader/writer.
Records weld monitoring data during welding, but records fewer
items and more data about the items, than the Monitor 1 Card. To
retrieve the contents of the Monitor 2 Card, you will need the op-
tional Welcard reader/writer.
