3. Functional Description

3.1 Core Functions

  1. Arc Welding Closed-Loop Control
    • Real-time acquisition of welding current and voltage feedback signals.

    • Precise output adjustment to maintain consistent weld quality.

  2. Analog I/O Interface
    • Compatible with standard welding power sources (e.g., Panasonic, OTC).

    • Analog signal range: 0–10 VDC (voltage) / 4–20 mA (current).

  3. Welding Sequence Management
    • Controls arc start, wire feed, arc stop, and gas pre-flow/post-flow timing.

    • Executes user-defined welding logic sequences.

  4. Fault Detection & Alarm
    • Monitors for overcurrent, overvoltage, arc loss, and abnormal welding conditions.

    • Sends alarm signals to the XRC main controller for diagnostics.

  5. Internal Bus Communication
    • Exchanges control commands and operational data with XRC main/servo boards (e.g., JANCD-XEW01 / XEW02).


4. Compatibility & Installation

4.1 Compatibility

  • Exclusive Compatibility: Motoman XRC series arc welding robot controllers only.

  • Incompatible With: NX100, NXC100, DX series controllers, and Yasnac CNC systems.

4.2 Installation Instructions

  1. Power Off: Disconnect all power to the XRC controller and wait for capacitor discharge (minimum 5 minutes).

  2. ESD Protection: Wear an ESD wristband to prevent static damage to components.

  3. Slot Placement: Insert the JANCD-PW02 into the dedicated welding slot on the XRC backplane.

  4. Connector Securement: Firmly tighten all signal and power connectors.

  5. Power On: Restore power and verify board recognition via the XRC teach pendant.


5. Maintenance & Safety

5.1 Maintenance Guidelines

  • Periodic Inspection: Check connectors and wiring for wear or poor contact every 3 months.

  • Cleaning: Use dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust; avoid liquid cleaners.

  • Replacement: Only replace with identical model (JANCD-PW02, Rev B or equivalent).

5.2 Safety Precautions

  • High Voltage Risk: Internal circuits retain high voltage after power-off; wait for full discharge before servicing.

  • Qualified Personnel: Installation, maintenance, and repair must be performed by certified technicians.

  • Static Sensitivity: Always use ESD protection when handling the board.
