EN7000 User Guide

1. Introduction

The EN7000 is a Single-phase AC and 3-phase DC constant current and proportional force

controller for 50/60 Hz spot, projection and seam welding applications.

The controller is available in two formats:

 EN7000: welding control with pre-heat, main heat and post-heat intervals, force

profile, multi-gun, multi-air valve, multi electrode manager and expansion port.

Gear-plate (flat plate) mounted.

 EN7000-TS: as EN7000, plus built-in touch screen display.

Front panel mounted.

EN7000 EN7000-TS

Multiple communication and control options are supported by a number of programming

methods. The Ethernet port supports simultaneous programming and control connection via a

single physical cable. EN7000v2 and EN7000v2-TS include integrated EtherNet/IP. For EN7000 and

EN7000-TS, EtherNet/IP can be provided via an optional plug-in adapter board.

Short-circuit proof outputs and a guided-contact pilot relay provides enhanced safety.

Connection to the power system is via a single ribbon cable. Analog inputs and outputs can be

used to drive a proportional air regulator valve for force control.

Operation in Standard mode provides a basic set of features for simple applications. Extended

mode adds advanced features for more demanding applications. Choose between Standard

or Extended features (See Configuration section). EN7000 must be restarted after changing this

setting.
