UP-120A 2. Introduction The Unitek Peco FINE SPOT-INVERTER UP-120B is an inverter-type power supply, large in capacity and specially designed to be used for spot welding and fusing. In addition, it is small in size and convenient to move or shift. Monitor function is provided, which enables judging defective or non-defective welding.

For external communication. Data Out "YES/NO" is selectable by setting DIP switch on the internal PC board (Factory default is "YES"). This PC board is mounted rear left of the UP-120B. (See Fig. 3-2) When the DIP switch is turned on, weld time, current, count, etc., are output after HOLD has ended through the RS-485 serial interface.

Page 17
(a) CONTROL # Input the identification No. of your UP-120B. If you have two or more units of UP-120B, input 0001 for the first one, 0002 for the second one, 0003 for the third one, and so on. (b) PROGRAMED DATE Input the date when the data is set.
Page 18
UP-120B SCHEDULE screen Up to 15 welding schedules can be set on UP-120B. Those schedules are indicated as SCHEDULE #01 to #15. This screen is used to set the schedule No., length of weld time, welding current, and so on. This data can be indicated in the 12 modes as shown below, but the indicated items are the same in all the modes.

Welding current Fig. 3-7 (h) VALVE # Up to two valves (welding heads) can be connected to UP-120B. Set the valve to use. GAIN (1- 9) Sets the amount of feedback correction in various controls. Though 1 is normally used, the larger value will give the shorter rise time.
Page 23
Set the No. of SCHEDULE to monitor. The measured values such as the welding current, voltage, etc. for the welding in that SCHEDULE are displayed. UP-120B stores the latest measured values of each Schedule No. For example, even if the all SCHEDULE #01 to #15 are executed at random, if #03 is input to the screen, the latest measured values in SCHEDULE #03 are displayed.
Page 24
UP-120B (f) PULSE The widest pulse among the supplied primary pulse current is displayed by the percentage to the pulse width in the full wave mode. The pulse width in the full wave mode varies with setting of the frequency (WELD POWER FREQUENCY).
Page 25
UP-120B (d) POWER HIGH/LOW Set the upper limit (HIGH) and lower limit (LOW) of the electric power for each of WELD1 and WELD2. (e) PULSE HIGH If the percentage of the welding current pulse to the pulse width in the full wave mode exceeds the percentage set in the PULSE HIGH, ERROR signal is output.

(e) SCHEDULE[ 01 ] --> SCHEDULE[ 01 ]-[ 01 ] This function is used to copy the SCHEDULE (welding condition). UP-120B can set up to 15 schedules. They are indicated as SCHEDULE #01 - #15. This function is also used to "change the setting of SCHEDULE #01 and perform welding according to another schedule".

STEPPER OFF INTERRUPT CURR. RANGE HIGH (a) START SIG. MODE Set the input method for the schedule signals to operate UP-120B. If schedule signal which is longer than DELAY-START SET setting is input, operation (Operation by stop is continued from SQD to HOLD. If an emergency pulse input) signal is input externally, operation stops.

3-18). 9 STEPPER COUNT screen UP-120B can change the level of the welding current depending on the welding condition. The function to increase the welding current is called the step-up function, and that to decrease the welding current is called the step-down function. Set the timing for step-up (step-down) by the number of welds.
Page 40
UP-120B Fig. 3-14 As shown in Fig. 3-13, the current is stepped up(down) to the value for STEP2 when the number of welds for STEP1 finishes. Similarly, the current is stepped up(down) to the value for STEP3 when the number of welds for STEP2 finishes.

UP-120B Cleaning / Replacing Filter UP-120B has filters at its intake and outlet (Fig. 8-4). Clean the filters once a half year observing the following procedures. If it gets badly stained, replace it with a new one. If the filter is clogged, air does not flow enough, causing internal temperature to rise and malfunction.
