ABSTRACT:
A precision resistance welding machine controller is provided which may be set to deliver welding power to each of a multiplicity of welding operations on a precisely controlled repeatable basis. The controller of the invention is modular in nature and is microprocessor controlled. The controller includes a master control module which is standard for all models, and the master control module incorporates certain control circuits including a circuit for assuring that an accurately controlled amount of power is delivered for each welding operation. This is achieved by providing precise phase angle control despite variations in line voltage, and line noise disturbances. The controller also includes a personality module which is constructed for a particular welding operation, and which is programmed to incorporate any selected number of steps to be performed in sequence by the welding machine controlled thereby in carrying out the particular welding operation. The duration of each step of the welding machine, and the amount of welding power to be delivered, is set for the particular welding operation by adjustable controls on the personality module. The master control module of the controller of the invention also includes circuitry and controls for providing a self-test capabiliity for the controller. Additional modules may also be added which include, for example, circuitry for providing active feedback of the weld, central plant monitoring, programmable capabilities, and so on.
