How it Works
The Process Monitor (see Figure 1) can monitor up to two of the following analog linear position
sensing devices:
VeriFast™ IA

VeriFast™ LVDT (requires

additional external hardware)
* Note: The VeriFast™ MicroView 4.0 is optimized for use with the VeriFast™ IA welding electrodes.
Each of the two monitored devices must be connected to the Process Monitor either into the Device 1
Port or Device 2 Port (see Figure 1), which are 0-10 V analog input channels with 16 bits resolution.
Through the integrated Ethernet communication, the Process Monitor has access to process variables,
such as set points and tolerance bands. Note: Device 3 Port is reserved for future features and is
unused at this time.
The standard MicroView 4.0 integrates one CLCS HMI, which allows the user to configure and monitor
the system. The CLCS HMI is usually mounted on the machine being monitored. A second CLCS HMI
is optional and can also be mounted, for example, on the cell fence for remote teaching and monitoring.
The two HMIs are identical, but the menus displayed are specific either to a primary or secondary HMI.
Only one HMI can be primary at a moment, but the roles of the HMIs can be swapped at any time.
The menus that are displayed on the HMI are intuitive and guide the user through the configuration and
monitoring processes. The MicroView 4.0 supports 127 weld schedules for automated machines. Every
schedule can monitor up to four (4) linear positions / parameters. A set of independent upper / lower
tolerance window can be set individually for each position / parameter.
The USB ports integrated with MicroView 4.0 allow to download weld data to external USB storage.
The On-board storage has the ability to store over 500,000 reading per channel (roughly 14 weeks at
47,720 readings per week).
The Over-The-Air (OTA) software updates and connectivity allow for alternately configurating the
MicroView 4.0 from a PC or phone, using a web browser via Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
The MicroView 4.0 uses selectable and scalable units in: counts, mm, or inch.
The MicroView 4.0 offers multi language support in: English, Spanish, Portuguese.
