(a) SCHEDULE #
Select from #1 to #255 to set the SCHEDULE.
Normally select #1 first, then select additional schedules in sequential order.
(b) TIME
Set the time for each operation during welding. Units of time are in ms or CYC.
For each operation, see 8. Timing Chart.
SQD / Squeeze delay time Length of time added to SQZ; only for the first
weld after start signal in repeat operation
SQZ / Squeeze time Length of time until proper squeeze is applied
to workpiece
COOL1 and COOL2 / Cooling
time 1 and Cooling time 2
Length of time to cool workpiece after turning
off welding current
HOLD / Hold time Length of time to hold workpiece after turning
off welding current
OFF / Off time
Length of time to turn off valve signal between
repeated operations
(No repeat operation if set to "0".)
(c) WELD (1, 2, 3)
Set the length of time to allow welding current to flow.
UP
Set the upslope time (to increase the welding current gradually).
DOWN
Set the downslope time (to decrease the welding current gradually).
(Note) Upslope / Downslope waveform when COOL (cooling time) is set to 0.
The welding current normally increases from the minimum value to the set
value in Upslope and decreases from the set value to the minimum value
in Downslope, but the following is an exception.
When the upslope time is set for the subsequent stage in the
multi-stage welding.
The upslope in the subsequent stage starts from the set current of the
previous current. (See example below.)
WELD1
WELD2
{
Upslope
Upslope in WELD2
increases from the
set current in WELD2.

When the Power Supply starts with the following setting, E-10
(schedule setting error) will occur.
・When the current value in the previous stage is equal to or larger than
the current value in the subsequent stage even with the upslope
setting in the subsequent stage. (See example below.)
When producing
a waveform like
this, set COOL
between WELD1
and WELD2.
When the downslope time is set for the previous stage in the
multi-stage welding.
The downslope in the previous stage ends at the set current of the
subsequent stage. (See example below.)
{
WELD2
WELD3
Downslope
Downslope in WELD2
decreases to the
set current in WELD3.
When the Power Supply starts with the following setting, E-10
(schedule setting error) will occur.
・When the current value in the previous stage is equal to or smaller
than the current value in the subsequent stage even with the
downslope setting in the previous stage. (See example below.)
When producing
a waveform like
this, set COOL
between WELD2
and WELD3.
(Note) Set 1 ms or more for at least one of WELD1, WELD2 and WELD3. Also,
set the total time of UP and DOWN to be shorter than WELD. If not, E-10
(Schedule setting error) will be displayed.
WELD2
WELD1
Upslope
Although the upslope time is set in WELD2,
WELD1 ＞ WELD2.
WELD2
WELD3
Downslope
Although the downslope time is set in WELD2,
WELD2 ＜ WELD3.
