Description

1.1 Basic Description

JANCD-YEW01-E is a dedicated analog welding interface option board designed for DX200 robot cabinet, used for connection between DX200 main control system and analog-type arc welding power supply (MIG/MAG/TIG). It converts robot digital commands into analog voltage signals to control welding voltage/current/wire feed speed, and feeds back real-time analog welding status data to DX200 CPU (JANCD-YCP21-E). It also processes digital contact signals of welder fault, arc status, gas shortage and wire stick detection.

  • Main CPU: JANCD-YCP21-E (DX200 main control board)

  • Safety Board: JANCD-YSF21-E

  • Backplane: YBB21 DX200 rack

  • Install position: free option slot on YBB21 backplane inside DX200 control cabinet

  • Incompatible: DX100 controller (DX100 uses YEW series for older racks)

1.3 Core Functions

  1. 2CH analog output: Output analog command voltage to welder for preset welding current/voltage

  2. 2CH analog input: Receive analog feedback signal of actual welding current/voltage from welder

  3. Multi-channel digital contact I/O: Welder ready, arc ON/OFF, gas shortage, wire break, cooling fault, welding completion signal

  4. Wire stick detection dedicated input: Detect electrode short-circuit stick fault during welding

  5. Starting point search output: Analog trigger output for arc seam search sensor (CN321 port)

4. DIP Switch Setting Instruction (S1 Switch on PCB)

4.1 Switch Purpose

S1 DIP switch sets I/O station address number of YEW01-E on DX200 system bus; station address must be unique and not conflict with other option boards (YCP02, etc.) on same rack.
  • Switch BIT 1~BIT4: Binary coding for station No. setting (factory default: Station No.01)

  • BIT5: Analog output polarity selection (ON=invert output voltage, OFF=standard polarity -5~+5V)

  • BIT6: Wire detection input logic selection (ON=active high, OFF=active low DC24V)

Mandatory: Set all DIP switches before board installation with cabinet full power OFF.

5. Standard Installation Procedure

Step 1: Safety Pre-operation

  1. Cut off DX200 main AC power, wait minimum 15min for internal main capacitor full discharge to avoid electric shock and board burnout.

  2. Open DX200 cabinet front door, confirm all internal voltage is zero with multimeter test.

Step 2: Pre-set DIP Switch

Check and complete S1 switch station address setting according to on-site system layout; avoid duplicate station code with other option boards.

Step3: Board Insertion

Align YEW01-E gold finger with vacant option slot on YBB21 backplane; push board fully into slot until lock buckle clicks tight to ensure CN320 backplane connector full contact.

Step4: External Cable Wiring

  1. Use shielded twisted cable for CN322 analog signal wiring, single-point ground for shielding layer at cabinet grounding bar only.

  2. Connect welder control cable between CN322 and analog welder terminal block per welder manufacturer wiring diagram.

  3. Connect seam search sensor cable to CN321 if tracking function is equipped.

Step5: Cabinet Close & Power-on Check

Close cabinet door, restore main power supply; boot DX200 system, enter robot maintenance mode to confirm YEW01-E is recognized in system option hardware list.

6. DX200 System Software Setting

6.1 I/O Module Configuration

  1. Enter DX200 teach pendant: [SYSTEM]-[OPTION]-[HARDWARE CONFIGURATION]

  2. Activate YEW01-E welding option module with preset station address matching S1 switch setting

  3. Save parameter, reboot controller for configuration to take effect.

6.2 Welding Parameter Setup

  1. Enter welding menu: [ARC WELD SETUP], select analog welder control mode

  2. Calibrate D/A output gain/offset for voltage/current analog output to match welder input specification

  3. Calibrate A/D input feedback coefficient for actual current/voltage feedback correction

7. LED Status Indicator Definition

  • PWR LED(Green): ON=24V board power normal; OFF=power supply/fuse open circuit

  • RUN LED(Green): Slow flash=normal data communication with main CPU; steady OFF=bus communication fault

  • ERR LED(Red): ON=analog channel overvoltage/short or digital I/O short-circuit fault; flash=station address conflict error

8. Troubleshooting Guide

Fault 1: PWR LED OFF

  1. Check F1/F2 1A fuse blowout, replace same specification Littelfuse fuse if damaged

  2. Re-seat YEW01-E board to fix poor backplane contact; test rack slot DC24V output voltage.

Fault2: RUN LED OFF, ERR ON

  1. Recheck S1 DIP station address setting for duplicate address conflict

  2. Verify JANCD-YCP21 main CPU normal operation; check other system boards status.

Fault3: Welder cannot receive analog command voltage

  1. Check CN322 analog output wiring open/short circuit, test D/A output voltage via multimeter

  2. Re-calibrate analog output offset/gain inside DX200 welding parameter menu.

Fault4: No actual current/voltage feedback from welder

  1. Check welder analog feedback output wiring polarity and shield grounding

  2. Confirm A/D input range matches welder signal output specification (-5~+5V).

Fault5: Wire stick detection always triggered

Adjust S1 BIT6 input logic polarity; check external stick detection sensor wiring short to DC24V.

9. Maintenance & Safety Notes

  1. CAUTION: All wiring/board replacement must be done under complete cabinet power OFF state.

  2. Periodic maintenance (every 6 months): Clean PCB dust with dry lint-free cloth, check connector terminal looseness and cable insulation aging.

  3. Prohibited: Modify onboard circuit components or replace non-standard fuse; faulty board requires full unit replacement (no field component repair).

  4. Ambient prohibition: Install away from welding arc spatter, strong high-frequency magnetic field, water vapor and chemical corrosive gas.

10. Related Model Distinction

  • JANCD-YEW01-E: Standard analog welder interface for single analog welding source (DX200)

  • Digital welder uses optional digital communication board instead of YEW01-E (WELDCOM network option)
