The WTC DEP-100S data entry panel is a compact programming
device. It can communicate with up to 30 WTC weld devices through
the MedLAN network.
The DEP-100S allows you to program weld schedules, set-up
parameters and a stepper profile, then download the information to
the weld control unit. It also receives weld summary data uploaded by
the weld control and displays weld results.
When power is applied to the DEP, it polls the MedLAN network to
determine the active devices. Each active device responds with
information about its software and features:
•Software version, revisions and any unique control
characteristics
•Current weld schedules
•Stepper programs, stepper type(s) and their assignments to
weld schedules
•Set-up parameter settings
•Control fault and event status
Each weld control functions independently. The data displayed by the
DEP-100S for each device varies, based on its software and features.
For example, some software versions provide two types of steppers:
the conventional linear stepper and a WTC SureWeld stepper. Other
versions provide only the linear stepper. The stepper displays you will
see (when programming the stepper for a weld control) are based on
the software in the weld control.
This manual provides sample displays typical of the information
you’ll see. However, the actual display will depend on the capabilities
of the weld control software.

100S. (This cycles power to the device, but does not have any
impact on the weld controls or the network).
When you reset the DEP-100S, it executes its power-up sequence,
again polling every weld control on the network to determine the
identification and address of each active WCU.

The display has 8 lines. Each line has 40 characters. Two dotted
lines separate the following groups of information:
•The top line indicates power and network
communication status.
•The four middle lines display the information from
the three mode keys.
•The bottom line displays the functions currently
assigned to the “soft”keys (through ).
•When you see the * in the lower right corner of the
display, it means an additional function or feature is
available; press .
Some of the values you’ll see can be changed. You can tell which
ones they are using the “cursor”(a shaded block on the display).
12?EDD853E C? The cursor shows where you are on the display. It allows you to
“select”an item from the display, to tell the DEP-100S which item
you want to change.
To change a value, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to that
item.
Note: If you can change a value (if it is programmable), the
arrow keys will stop the cursor under the display. If the
cursor will not move to a value, it is not programmable.

If the cursor moves to the item, it blinks to tell you that it will be
changed if you enter a new value (using the number keys). When
you press -, the value showing on the display will be stored in
memory.
Hint: The new value is now in DEP-100S memory, not the weld
processor memory. The new value does not affect the weld
control UNTIL you download the new setting to the weld
control.

When the cursor is positioned on a value, it blinks until you
either press -or move the cursor to another field.
The actions available are different, based on the display you’ve
selected. For example, the cursor will not move to any value
shown on a status display, because those values cannot be
changed. This manual describes each display.
CICD5=CD1DEC<9>5 The top line of display shows the following system status
conditions:
HHT #nnn This message in the upper left of the
display when power is applied. This is
the HHT’s network location (address).
FAULT This appears in the upper middle of the
display when at least one WCU detects
a condition programmed as afault in the
set-up parameters.

The DEP-100S communicates with each device through MedLAN
(WTC’s Local Area Network). This proprietary communications
protocol defines the formatting of messages and commands. This
scheme allows WTC’s computer-based devices to share
information by allowing one DEP-100S to communicate with up
to 30 weld controls.
MedLAN designates the DEP-100S as the “master”device
(controlling all data transmissions). The weld control units are
considered the “slave”devices, because they cannot initiate
communications. (They can only respond to requests for data
from the DEP-100S.)
=54<1>144 5CC The DEP-100S sends each transmission to a specific device, which
is identified as a unique location on the network, identified by an
address.
Each weld control responds only to the messages sent to its
address. The address of each control is determined by its
MedLAN base address.
To program the MedLAN address for a weld control you’ll use
the Network Addressing features provided in the Program Mode
display. (For more information, see “Network Address”on page
2-18.)
Note: In some weld devices, the MedLAN address is determined
by the weld control hardware. Refer to the Operator’s
Manual provided with your weld device.
COMM ON You’ll see this message in the upper
right to indicate data is being transmit-
ted between the DEP-100S and a weld
control.

Applying power to the DEP-100S shows a display similar to this
example (for HHT program D07005 or greater):
One or more HHTs can operate on the MedLAN network.
HHT#nnn identifies the network address of this particular HHT.
Any number of HHTs can operate on a network. However,
adding devices causes the polling time to increase. Generally,
you will use one HHT for all monitoring and programming, with
a practical limit of four HHTs.
The last two digits of the program number (pgm #)indicate the
revision level of the DEP-100S software. The number preceded by
Lis the Loader program number (which enables a WTC
technician to reload the software in the DEP-100S via your
communication network). The date (mm/dd/yy)shows when
the revision was released.

OLLING
After a few seconds, the DEP-100S polls each device to determine
which ones are active. It also checks the software program for the
weld control, to verify that it is compatible with the program in
the DEP.
The DEP-100S polls the WCU to determine the WCU ID
(program number, device type, revision number and hardware
compatibility) and the fault information stored in each weld
control’s battery-backed RAM memory.

After polling all 30 WCUs, the DEP-100S goes back to the first
WCU identified on the network. It asks each control to upload the
weld data stored in that control: the function list, set-up
parameters, weld schedule #1 and the stepper data programmed.

When the DEP-100S completes its polling, it displays the weld
data uploaded from the first WCU on the network.
The Weld Data display shows the following information from the
last weld completed at that weld control:

executed. If repetitive welds are made with different
schedules, that weld data could be overwritten if the
