What are the common software problems and solutions for motor motor rotor duplex spot welder?
Motor motor rotor duplex spot welding machine common software problems and solutions:
A program parameter setting error
l Fault phenomenon
Welding parameters (such as welding current, welding time, electrode pressure, etc.) are improperly set, resulting in poor quality of the welded joint. For example, too large a welding current may cause overheating and spattering of the welded joint, and too short a welding time may lead to weak welding.
Parameters cannot be saved after setting, and need to be reset next time the machine is turned on, which affects work efficiency.
Some of the advanced function parameters are set incorrectly, such as the stage parameters in the multi-step welding program are set confusingly, so that the welding process can not be carried out in accordance with the expected complex process.
l Possible reasons
The operator is not familiar with the operation of the welding machine software and mistakenly inputs parameters that do not meet the welding requirements.
Problems with the storage function of the software, which may be due to the failure of the storage chip, the wrong storage path or the vulnerability of the storage module of the software itself.
After upgrading the software, the parameter setting interface or storage format has changed, and the old parameter settings cannot be saved or called correctly under the new software environment.
l Solution
Train operators in software operation to familiarize them with the correct parameter setting range and methods. For example, provide a detailed operation manual to clarify the meaning of each parameter, the range of values and the impact on weld quality.
Check the storage function of the software. If the memory chip is faulty, the memory chip needs to be replaced; for incorrect storage paths, reset the correct storage paths; if there is a vulnerability in the software storage module, contact the software supplier to obtain a patch or update the software version.
After the software upgrade, read the upgrade instructions carefully and readjust the parameters according to the new parameter setting requirements. If the old parameters cannot be used directly in the new software, you can record the key values of the old parameters first and then re-enter them in the new software.
Software compatibility problems
l Fault phenomenon
The software is incompatible with the operating system, and there is installation failure, failure to start or frequent crashes.
The communication between the software and other related equipments (e.g. supervisor monitoring software, automated production line control system, etc.) is faulty, unable to transmit welding data or receive control commands normally.
The software runs abnormally on different hardware platforms (e.g., after replacing a new controller or computer), such as some functions cannot be used or the running speed is obviously slowed down.
l Possible causes
The software was developed based on a specific operating system, and compatibility problems may occur when the operating system version is updated or replaced with another operating system. For example, the software may rely on certain library files of the old operating system that are not available in the new operating system or the file versions are incompatible.
The communication protocols between the software and other devices do not match, which may be inconsistent settings such as communication interface, baud rate, data format, and so on.
The hardware resources of different hardware platforms (such as processor speed, memory size, input/output interfaces, etc.) vary greatly, and the software is not designed with full consideration of cross-platform compatibility, resulting in failure to run normally on certain hardware platforms.
l Solution
Confirm the version of the operating system supported by the software, and try to use the operating system recommended by the software. If the operating system has been updated, you can contact the software vendor to obtain a software version compatible with the new operating system. If you cannot update the software, try to run the software in compatibility mode.
Check the communication settings between the software and other devices to ensure that the communication protocols are consistent. Parameters such as communication interface, baud rate, data format, etc. can be adjusted by consulting the device manual and software instruction manual. If possible, perform communication testing and debugging, and use communication test tools to check whether data transmission is correct.
For the problem that the software runs abnormally on different hardware platforms, first check whether the hardware platform meets the very low system requirements of the software (e.g., processor, memory, etc.). If the hardware resources are insufficient, consider upgrading the hardware. At the same time, contact the software vendor to see if there is an optimized version or patch for a specific hardware platform.
Software Faults or Errors
l Failure phenomenon
The software appears to be dead or unresponsive during operation, and it is necessary to force the software to close in order to recover.
Software error messages, such as code errors, memory access conflicts, etc., but the user is difficult to understand the meaning of these error messages and solutions.
Some function modules of the software (such as automatic diagnostic function, welding data recording function, etc.) cannot be used normally, or abnormal behavior occurs during use.
l Possible causes
There are loopholes or defects in the software itself, which may be code errors that were not discovered during the development process and triggered software failures under specific operating conditions or data inputs.
The software runs in conflict with other programs, possibly due to the simultaneous running of multiple programs that occupy more system resources, or other programs that modify the system environment on which the software depends.
A computer virus or malware infects the welder software, causing abnormal behavior or data corruption.
l Solution
Record the operating steps and error messages when the software malfunctions, and provide this information to the software vendor so that they can perform troubleshooting and repair. If the software vendor provides updated patches, download and install the patches in a timely manner to fix known software vulnerabilities.
Avoid running programs that consume too many system resources at the same time, and make sure the welder software has enough system resources (e.g., CPU, memory, etc.) to run properly. If you suspect that the software is in conflict with other programs, you can close the other programs one by one and observe whether the software can run normally.
Install reliable antivirus software and firewalls on your computer, and conduct regular virus scanning and checking. If the software is infected by a virus, first use antivirus software to remove the virus, and then check whether the software data is damaged, if necessary, reinstall the software.
Software upgrade failure
l Failure phenomenon
The software upgrade process is interrupted, such as network connection interruption, power failure, etc., resulting in software upgrade is not completed, the software can not be used normally.
After upgrading the software, new problems appear, such as the loss of the original function, the new function can not be used normally or the software becomes more unstable.
The software shows that the upgrade is successful, but in fact the software version has not been updated and still maintains the functions and problems of the old version.
l Possible reasons
The network is unstable or the download of the upgrade file is incomplete, which may be due to insufficient network bandwidth, server failure, or external interference during the upgrade process (e.g. electromagnetic interference affecting network communication).
Problems with the upgrade program itself, such as errors in the upgrade script, improper handling of the compatibility of new and old versions of software, or errors in data conversion during the upgrade process.
The installation environment of the software upgrade does not meet the requirements, such as insufficient hard disk space, the operating system lacks the necessary components, etc., resulting in the upgrade can not be installed correctly.
l Solution
If the upgrade process is interrupted, first check the network connection to ensure that the network is stable, and then restart the upgrade program. Some software provides the function of intermittent upload, you can use this function to continue to download the unfinished upgrade file. If the software cannot be used normally due to the interruption of the upgrade, try uninstalling the software and reinstalling the new version.
For cases where new problems occur after upgrading, record the symptoms of the emerging problems and error messages and feedback them to the software vendor. At the same time, you can try to roll back to the old version of the software (if the software supports the rollback function) and wait for the software vendor to release the upgraded version after the fix.
Check the installation environment of the software upgrade to make sure the hard disk has enough space to store the upgrade files and the new software version. Install the components required by the operating system, such as certain dynamic link library files, drivers, etc. If the software shows that the upgrade is successful but not actually updated, you can manually check the software version number and perform the upgrade operation again, or contact the software vendor for assistance.
