The DCX A features the new BUC Global User Interface Program that also comes standard on all DCX Power Supplies. The program is structured using a standard HTML-based communication interface protocol, which allows the user to employ a commercially available Internet browser to perform everything from product setup and custom I/O configurations to system diagnostics. This easy-to-use interface tool eliminates the need for costly software and dedicated hardware configuration, saving time and increasing productivity.
The DCX F power supply has Fieldbus capabilities (EtherNet/IP and Profibus) that allow real-time distributed control and communication from a PLC. Fieldbus communication allows a PLC to configure the DCX F weld mode and parameters, and read back the weld results in real time. This allows complex automated systems requiring multiple devices to be wired together in sequence. The ability to network multiple devices via daisy chain significantly reduces the length and number of cables required, simplifies the integration of the HMI, PLC, I/O and other devices, and minimizes cabinet requirements where space is at a premium.
