4.0 Special Features in V9.xx Firmware
A major feature that is contained in V ersion 9.xx firmware is a user -configurable I/O. This feature is similar
to features in modern home Audio-Video receivers: you can choose what output is present at the digitally
optical jack, and which output is present at the digital hardware jacks, etc. in the 2000 Series welder it allows
the user to configure certain connector J3 pin-outs (6 inputs and 3 outputs) to customer-desired features,
optimizing the unit for specialized applications such as: switching up to 16 preset memo ries, switching converter/horn “stacks”, or for syncing several welders together. You can also “interrupt” a welder cycle for
external events or tests to occur, or allow the end user to choose what alarms amy be most important to their
particular machine or application.

Signal Definitions (Refer to Section 8.0, Glossary for Version 9 for additional definitions.)
Confirm Preset: A user output signal that will indicate that a weld cycle preset # has been input from the
external controller.
Cycle Okay: A user output signal that indicates no detectable alarm conditions occurred during the last weld
cycle.
External Beeper: An output pin that operates the same as the internal beeper, and could operate an external
(louder) device or light.
100-214-273 Rev. 1 3
Special Features in V9.xx Firmware
Ext Signal: Note: Not a new V9.xx feature but repeated here for clarity . Now the hardware pin and function
is selectable in the User I/O menu.
Used as input to allow external input to trigger amplitude or force change (model dependant).
Optionally used as the start cycle input when in Hand Held mode.
Ext Sonics Delay: A cycle where the ultrasonics are not started after the horn contacts the workpiece until
an external device has determined that the cycle should continue. It may be a test apparatus or perhaps a
part-marking operation.
Note: The Cycle Abort input can be used to end the welder cycle and not waste time on a workpiece that the
external apparatus determined to be a reject.
Ext Start (input and output): These are both input and output signals, and both must be turned on and
assigned a hardware input and output pin in order to function.
Once the unit has received a legitimate start input the External Start output pin activates an external device
(horn clamp cylinder, sound enclosure door , part in position, etc) before moving the horn. When the external
device becomes active, it then signals the External Start input to commence the welder’s horn travel and
weld cycle. To enable this feature, select the System Configuration menu, then User I/O menu.
While in that menu you can also set “Ext Start Dly” of up to 10.0 sec. to wait before receiving the External
Start input before setting an alarm.
Modified Alarm: A user output signal that indicates a user-set compensating condition occurred, (Only
energy at this time).
Note: An alarm condition of the lowest priority.
Overload Alarm: A user output signal that will indicate that a power supply overload condition occurred
during the last weld, test or seek cycle.
Select Preset #16 (pin 31 only):
Sonics Disable: When this User I/O input is active, ultrasonic energy is forced off. If active throughout a
weld cycle, a “dry” cycle will occur: should the weld mode be indeterminate (energy, power, etc) then the
time normally used for the “weld” will extend out to the maximum allowed.
Sync In Sync Out (syncro weld cycle): This is when multiple welders cycle against the same workpiece, and
their ultrasonic power is started simultaneously in Sync for a particular application issue. Sync In is used in
conjunction with Sync Out.

(Another option would be to release all the horns from the workpiece simultaneously. You can use a longer
than required hold time on each unit, then apply Cycle Abort to all the welders to make all retract simultaneously.)
5.0 2000 Series Automation Logic Requirements
Logic conditions shown are defaulted to factory shipped condition, with no configuration
changes.This information applies to standard automation, such as a rotary index table application.
Minimum system requirement for Automated Operation:
Underlined actions must be done in the order shown by system controls.
You must provide an Emergency Stop function through the start cable (DB9 connecto r on rear of actuator).
• Connect pins 8 (Yellow) and 9 (Purple) together, and then connect to a Normally Closed contact
of a switch or relay.
• Connect pins 3 ( Red) and 4 (Green) together, and then connect to the other Normally Closed contact of the same switch or relay.
These connections must be closed for normal operation, opened in an abnormal condition. Keep in mind this
closed condition is needed even if the automation system is in a powered off state, for actions such as maintenance or calibration to be performed on the ultrasonic welder.
Do not use this as a commonly used interlock, as a Reset input: apply +24VDC to J3 (User I/O HD44 connector) pin 3 (Green/Black) will be required to clear any Emergency Stop condition.
If you wish to be able to abort a weld cycle at any time and have the welder retract back
towards the home or rest position, use the Cycle Abort input: apply +24VDC to J3 (User I/O
HD44 connector) pin 2 (Red/Black).
100-214-273 Rev. 1 5
2000 Series Automation Logic Requirements
5.1 To Start a Weld Cycle
The only time it is acceptable to “start” or initiate a cycle is when a welder is in the “ready” state. If the
welder is Ready, it can be started.
Monitor Ready: J3 (User I/O HD44 connector) pin 21 @ 0v, (Blue/Black/White)
Initiate the cycle by applying +24VDC simultaneously (preferably sourced by the 2000 Series controls) or
a contact closure within a maximum allowable stagger time of 200 ms. The voltage, or contact closure, must
continue to be held closed (for now). You can get a signal flagging when to release later.
T o Start Cycle: (DB9 connector on rear of actuator) Apply +24 (To start pins 1 (Black) and 2 (White) on the
actuator connector, (use pins 6 (Blue) and 7 (Orange) as +24VDC voltage source), or
Close contacts (To start pins 1 (Black) and 7 (Orange), and 2 (White) and 6 (Blue) on the actuator connector.You may wish, dependant on application, to monitor the following signals.
J3 (User I/O HD44 connector) output signals:
• General Alarm is off, 24VDC, pin 6 (Black /White)
This gets flagged from any other alarm, useful as a master alarm. Recommended.
• Reject Alarm is off, 24VDC, pin 5 (Blue/Black)
This gets flagged from a reject welding parameter alarm.
• Suspect Alarm is off, 24VDC, pin 20 (Orange/Black/White)
This gets flagged from a suspect welding parameter alarm.
• Warning Alarm is off, 24VDC,pin 36 (Orange/Red/Green) )
This gets flagged when a alarm is imminent, or that an authorized cycle modification occurred.
• Weld On is off, 24VDC, pin 35 (Green/White/Blue)
Ultrasonics are activated
• Actuator Clear goes off, 24VDC, pin 7 (Red/White)
Actuator is at height of upper limit switch, or height setting is set.
After the start circuit is activated the internal solenoid valve (S/V) will be activated allowing the horn to
travel toward the workpiece. After the point of contact, force will develop against the workpiece. When the
2000 Series controls sense the trigger force set point the welder advances to the weld on state. Ultrasonics
will start, and the start switches may now be released. We recommend monitoring the PB Release signal as
the event to flag the release of the start signal. Had either or both start switches been released at any time
before that point, the welder would abort the cycle, retract back towards the home or rest position, and display an error message.
5.2 Ready Changes State
Ready changes state: S/V goes on; Weld trigger occurs,
PB Release signal goes on, J3 User I/O HD44 connector 0v @ pin 34 (Red/White/Green).
6 100-214-273 Rev. 1
Automation Guide 2000 Series Automation Logic Requirements
Then, on DB9 connector on rear of actuator , apply 0v to start pins 1 and 2 on the actuat or connector before
welder returns to home position, or
Release contacts on pins 1 and 7, 2 and 6 on the actuator connector before the welder returns to home position.
At User I/O HD44 connector:
Ready J3 pin 21 Blue/Black/ White @24VDC
SOL VALVE SRC pin 4 Orange/Black @ 24VDC
SOL VALVE RTN pin 16 Black/White/Red @ 0v
Weld ON goes on 0v @ pin 35 Green/White/Blue
5.3 Weld (ultrasonics) Finished, Hold Starts
User I/O HD44 connector:
Weld On goes off 24VDC @ pin 35 Green/White/Blue
5.4 Hold Finished, Horn Retract Starts
User I/O HD44 connector:
S/V goes off:
SOL VALVE SRC pin 4 @ 0v Orange/Black
SOL VALVE RTN pin 16 @ 0v Black/White/Red
Actuator clear pin 7 @ 0v Red/White
ACT RTN pin 7 @ 0v at setting
Horn is back to home position.
Start switches must be released by now
5.5 Check for Alarms
User I/O HD44 connector:
Return to Ready state.
Monitor that General Alarm is off 24VDC (pin 6 Black/White) recommended.
Wait for Ready (J3 pin 21 @ 0v Blue/Black/White.

Actuator type
This refers to the feature set of the device that delivers the horn to the workpiece. It may be just a convertor/
horn “stack”, or a Branson furnished basic actuator, or a Branson furnished actuator with distance and force
sensors.
Automation
When an ultrasonic welder is integrated as a component or station into an assembly machine.
Confirm Preset
A user output signal that will indicate that a weld cycle preset # has been input from the external controller.
Cycle Abort
Note: Not a new V ersion 9.xx feature but repe ated here for clarity and usefulness in conjunction with several
new V9.xx features.
External Input fixed at J3-pin 2 that +24VDC applied will immediately terminate the current weld cycle,
retract the horn if using an actuator, and not accept another Start or PB input until removed. The welder is
much quicker to go back to Ready when used in lieu of the Emergency Stop function as it does not require
a Reset to clear the alarm afterwards. It is, thus, the preferred method to terminate a weld cycle
safety conditions are not the reason for welder stoppage. Emergency Stop should still be used for those con
ditions where safety, such as the machine Emergency Stop, are encountered.
Cycle Okay
A user output signal that indicates no detectable alarm conditions occurred during the last weld cycle.
Cycle Completed
A User Output signal that indicates no detectable alarm condition occurred during the last weld cycle.
if human
-
Disabled
This selection in User I/O will shut off the hardware pin from any occurrence. It will not change state under
any condition after the unit becomes Ready.
External Operations
46 100-214-273 Rev. 1
Automation Guide Glossary V9.xx
This is a cycle when the welder would normally be in full control (as in a standard cycle) BUT and external
device is performing an operation that interrupts the cycle. A typical example would be to perform a “test”
on the workpiece to determine its merit before the weld (ultrasonics) cycle begins. If the device tests OK
the weld cycle is allowed to proceed: if the device tests BAD the weld cycle can be aborted by PLC assum
ing the User I/O is properly configured to send a Cycle Abort input and the workpiece be handled appropri ately using the fixed User I/O functions such as Suspect or Reject Alarm outputs. Also can be used with a
sound enclosure or part clamping device, where th e door or clamp arms have to go into place before the
actuator is allowed to travel.
Ext(ernal) Signal
Note: Not a new V9.xx feature but repeated here for clarity. Now the hardware pin and function is selectable
in the User I/O menu.
Used as input to allow external input to trigger amplitude or force change (model dependant).
Or as the start cycle input when in Hand Held mode.
-
External Sonics delay
A cycle where the ultrasonics are not started after the horn contacts the workpiece until an external device
has determined that the cycle should continue. It may be a test apparatus or perhaps a part-marking opera
tion.
Note: The Cycle Abort input can be used to end the welder cycle and not waste time on a workpiece that the
external apparatus determined to be a reject.
External Start
These are both input and output signals, and both must be turned on and assigned a hardware input and out -
put pin in order to function.
Once the unit has received a legitimate start input the External Start output pin activates an external device
(horn clamp cylinder, sound enclosure door , part in position, etc) before moving the horn. When the external
device becomes in position, it then signals the External Start input to commence the welder’s horn travel
and weld cycle. To enable this feature, select the System Configuration menu, then User I/O menu.
While in that menu you can also set “Ext Start Dly” of up to 10.0 sec. to wait before receiving the External
Start input before setting an alarm.
External Trigger delay
This is when the external input normally used for Amplitude or Force Stepping is instead used to delay the
start of ultrasonics, to allow for external device functions prior to the start of welding.
-
External Beeper
An output pin that operates the same as the internal beeper, and could operate an external (louder) device or
light.
100-214-273 Rev. 1 47
Glossary V9.xx
Missing Part
A user output signal that indicates trigger occurred above the minimum or below the maximum user-set
allowable distance settings.
Modified Alarm
A user output signal that indicates a user-set compensating condition occurred, (Only energy at this time).
Multi head
Multi head uses more than 1 horn, each horn has its own respective ultrasonic power supply.
No Cycle Alarm
A user output signal that indicates the last weld cycle was aborted due to an abnormal welder internal system
malfunction, an aborted external start signal, or an external cycle abort command.
Note
An alarm condition of the lowest priority.
Overload Alarm
A user output signal that will indicate that a power supply overload condition occurred during the last weld,
test or seek cycle.
Single head
Single head has only 1 horn and power supply.
Sonics Disable
When this User I/O input is active, ultrasonic energy is forced off. If active th roughout a weld cycle, a “dry”
cycle will occur: should the weld mode be indeterminate (energy, power, etc) then the time normally used
for the “weld” will extend out to the maximum allowed.
Standard weld cycle
A cycle where the automation controls when the ultrasonic welder is given the start signal, but the welder
controls the entire weld cycle function to the finish,. It then reports to the automation controls it is ready (to
start again) the next weld.
48 100-214-273 Rev. 1
Automation Guide Glossary V9.xx
Switching preset memories
This is when different weld setups are stored in memory. They can be recalled from memory by the user
from the front panel, or remotely from the User I/O input pins if properly selected settings are chosen in the
System Configuration menu.
Sync in (see Sync out)
Sync out (Syncro weld cycle)
This is when multiple welders cycle against the same workpiece, and their ultrasonic power is started simul-
taneously in Sync for a particular application issue. Used in conjunction with Sync in.
(Another option would be to also release all the horns from the workpiece simultaneously. You can use a
longer than required hold time on each unit, then apply Cycle Abort to all the welders to make all retract
simultaneously.)
Warning
A user output signal that indicates a warning message was generated during the prior weld cycle. They are
of a class of minor operating conditions that do not generate a General Alarm output, but may be important
to the end-user (Energy Compensation occurred, for example).
