Interface software iQ LinQ™

qualityengineeringcontrol

Dukane’s iQLinQ™ is a proprietary communication protocol to give end-users an array of options to interface ultrasonic generators with automated systems. It runs on iQ Series Probe Generators and is available in different optional modules to connect PLCs with generators using prevalent Fieldbus or Industrial Ethernet communication protocols such as Profibus, Profinet/IE, Ethernet/IP, Powerlink, CC-Link/IE, EtherCAT. iQLinQ™ is a solution to simplify industrial communication protocol between Dukane’s iQ Series Ultrasonic generators and PLCs. End users can reduce engineering cost, integration risk, and the total cost to develop and deliver plastic assembly solutions by switching to iQLinQ™. They can control the welding process, set up multiple weld parameters, obtain real-time data or previous cycle data remotely through their PLCs. Efficient process control results in high yield, high-quality production which significantly reduces cost and downtime. Control Parameters available via iQLinQ™ Set weld method to Time, Energy, or Peak Power. Set associated value in seconds, joules, or watts Set Amplitude, Ramp Up Time, and Ramp Down Time Enable and set Trigger by Power parameters Enable and set Hold time Enable and set Afterburst delay and duration Enable checking for Suspect Parts. Set maximum and minimum values for Time, Power and/or Energy
