Although not usually requiring modifications from the factory setting, the following features are selectable: Table 5.13 Power Supply Features Name Description Allows for a short activation of ultrasonics at the end of the weld cycle Afterburst to reliably release parts from the horn.
Assembling the Acoustic Stack CAUTION General Warning The following procedure must be performed by a setup person. If necessary, secure the largest portion of a square or rectangular horn in a soft jawed vise. NEVER attempt to assemble or remove a horn by holding the converter housing or the booster clamp ring in a vise.
5.6.1 For a 20 kHz System Table 5.17 20 kHz System Step Action Ensure that the mating surfaces of the converter, booster, and horn are clean, and that the threaded holes are free of foreign material. Install a single Mylar plastic film washer (matching the size of the washer to the stud) to each interface.
5.6.4 Connecting Tip to Horn 1. Ensure that the mating surfaces of the tip and horn are clean. Remove any foreign matter from the threaded stud and hole. 2. Hand assemble the tip to the horn. Assemble dry. Do not use any silicone grease. 3.
Converter Cooling Converter performance and reliability can be adversely affected if the converter ceramics are subjected to temperatures above 140 °F (60 °C). The converter front driver temperature should not exceed 122 °F (50 °C). To prolong converter life and maintain a high degree of system reliability, the converter should be cooled with clean, dry, compressed air, particularly if your application calls for continuous ultrasonic operation.
If converter cooling is required, use the following steps: Table 5.22 Converter Cooling Procedure Step Action Start with a 50 psi (345 kPa) air source or higher from a 0.06 in (1.5 mm) I.D. orifice Perform a run of welding operations. Immediately after completing the welding run, check the converter temperature.

Chapter 6: Converters and Boosters 6.1 Converters and Boosters........86 4000872EN REV.
Converters and Boosters A variety of converters and boosters available for use with the DCX F-DP Rack Mount Power Supply are illustrated in the following pages. WARNING High Voltage Hazard To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, converters need to be properly grounded.
6.1.1 Component Functional Description Ultrasonic Stack Converter The converter is mounted in the customer's automation as part of the ultrasonic stack. The ultrasonic electrical energy from the power supply is applied to the converter (sometimes called the transducer). This transforms the high frequency electrical oscillations into mechanical vibrations at the same frequency as the electrical oscillations.
Page 107
Solid Mount Boosters The solid mount booster is a one-half wave-length resonant section made exclusively of titanium. It is mounted between the converter and the horn, modifying the amplitude of vibration applied to the horn and providing a clamping point. The solid mount booster is superior to prior versions in that deflection is minimized.

PROFIBUS DP PROFIBUS is an open, vendor independent fieldbus standard for a wide range of applications in industrial automation. 8.1.1 LED Status Indicator To get a fast overview about the status of the DCX F-DP Rack Mount Power Supply, two LEDs are placed on the front of the unit.
8.1.2 Bus Communication The PROFIBUS specification defines the technical characteristics of a serial field bus system that links distributed digital controllers on the network, from field level to cell level. PROFIBUS is a multi-master system that allows the joint operation of several automation, engineering or visualization systems with their distributed peripherals on one bus.
8.1.4 Network Connectors PROFIBUS connections are created with a 9 pin sub-D connector. A minimum connection consists of a shielded twisted-pair cable (shield to pin 1 and twisted-pair wires to pins 3 and 8) with terminating connections in the appropriate bus plugs. The pin to signal conventions are described below: Table 8.3 Pin-out Listing for the PROFIBUS Bus Plug Connector...
8.1.5 Network Segment Length A PROFIBUS network uses either fiber optic or RS-485 copper media. The copper bus line, Line Type A is the recommended cable type. A more economical copper cable, Line Type B, is commonly used for smaller installations. It is extremely important to use cable rated to PROFIBUS specifications.
Configuration Due to the many different makes of PLCs available, the information in this section may not be relevant to all types of PLCs. These configuration procedures are intended for users with at least a basic knowledge of the profibus PLC programming. For help with using the profibus PLC software, please refer to PLC vendor’s help guide.
8.2.2 I/O Image If the master has recognized, parameterized and configured the DCX F-DP Rack Mount Power Supply on the bus, a cyclic data exchange with the PROFIBUS DATA_EXCHANGE service occurs. This involves exchanging the I/O image between the master and slave in one cycle.
