Constant Current

Current Sensors:

  • Secondary Flexible Rogowski Coil or Primary Coil.
  • Secondary Flexible Rogowski Coil permits direct secondary kilo-Ampere programming and reading. Monitoring with High and Low limits.
  • Automatic Tap Up/Range Down or Tap Down/Range Up indicator.
  • Toggle function displays kilo-Ampere or Percent Current. Function helps avoid setups in very low or very high percent phase shifts.
  • All sensors permit Current Monitoring with High and Low limits.
  • Simple secondary range setting requires no setup. Secondary operating range of 2kA to 100kA.
  • Quick primary setup. Control learns and adapts to any machine size when primary sensing is used.
  • Welding Transformer ratio measurements not required for proper Constant Current Operation in percent mode with primary sensor.
  • Secondary ampere programming is available when a primary sensor is used and transformer ratio is provided.

  • IPSC Options
    • Integrated Pressure Control [IPC]. Weld Control stores an independent value of Pressure or Force in each of 50 Schedules. Associates Pressure with Squeeze time for concurrent valve actuation.
    • Integrated Pressure Sensing [IPS]. Weld Control stores an independent value of Pressure or Force in each of 50 Schedules. Associates sensed Pressure with Pressure Switch input for Pressure/ Force level weld triggering.
    • Integrated Pressure Sense and Control [IPSC]. Weld control combines the previous two options into a full pressure control and monitoring system.
  • RS485 Communication. Control can be networked along with 63 other units for remote programming and monitoring. Up to 32 Masters allow for grouping within a network. Up to 32 PC hosts allow for programming or statistical data collection or error monitoring.
  • RS232 provides Serial communication.
  • ENLINK for WINDOWS : Communication software provides PC and Laptop interface for remote programming and monitoring of EN1001 series controls. ENLINK for WINDOWS Communication software is included with RS485 option.
  • Memory Module [MM2] is designed as a backup device for any EN1001 series control or as Copy/ Download device for all Data from one Control to another.
  • Valve Select 1 of 7 [VS]. This option provides 7 additional decoded outputs from the 3 standard EN1001 series controls.
