The DPC II / II+ welding system offers several features that are intended to communicate with automation. These features
allow the automation to control events that occur during the welding process. This document will provide guidelines that
will help you interface automation to a DPC welding system per Dukane Corporation’s requirements. Information within
this document is intended to supplement the information in the DPC II (Dukane part # 403-558) and DPC II+ (Dukane part
# 403-551)manuals.

of a DPC II / II+ Welding System
Application Note Topics:
• The System In Connector Pin assignments
• The 200-1203 Basic Interface Cable
• System Input Signal Descriptions
• System Input Interface Examples

The System In interface connector is one of the primary communications links between the DPC II / II+ input port and
the user automation equipment. This connector provides the automation with dedicated communication lines that
allow the automation to control the beginning and the end of a welding sequence.

Notes:
1. SH707 on the 110-3606 system I/O PCB must be configured to the JU728 position when this
common is used.
2. This input requires the optional 110-3938 press control module. Configuration of the SH901
Jumper on the 110-3938 press control module may also be required.
3. This input is configured for use as Automation End of Weld at the factory. Jumper SH704 must
be reconfigured on the 110-3606 System I/O board to permit use of the Isolated Automation
Stop feature.
4. The MPC probe bit functionality requires the optional MPC feature. The Setup bit functionality
is available on all DPC II+ systems. Please refer to the DPC manual for further details on this
feature.
