3 Briefdescription
The resistance welding control Filius AC Multi consists of a control unit, which is available
in two constructions.
Both thyristor power units of the Filius power unit family and free wireable power units
are connectable.
The thyristor power units of the Filius power unit family have the advantage that an
extensive wiring is not necessary, because the power units are connected over pre readymade
flat ribbon cables and the complete control supply including the synchronization.
When using an unfamiliar power unit the supply of the Filius control, the inputs and
outputs as well as the mains synchronization voltage must be provided external
additionally.
The welding control Filius features a USB interface.
That interface enables installing software updates by a USB stick, storing or loading
welding programs as well as releasing areas of control configuration and parameters.
The USB stick enables a data exchange between the Filius control and the PC program
XFilius. The XFilius enables the storage of data, evaluation of off-line statistics as well as
the creation of printouts.
7

„Filius- ACS Multi IQ“ operating instructions
3.1 Application area
The welding control family „Filius“ is designed especially for formidable welding schedules.
The monitoring functionality guarantees observing the set parameters.
3.2 Construction
The welding control „Filius“ can be connected to any familiar 50/60 Hz thyristor power
units especially of the Filius power unit family.
When using other power units extra voltage supply is needed.
3.3 Mounting
The Filius controls are designed as built-in types in control cabinets. The power units
must be in the same control cabinet like the welding control. The connection cable length
between the Filius welding control and the power unit is limited. The maximum cable
length can be read in the technical data.
When initial installation or replacing the power unit / synchronization
transformer an adaptation with the present mains voltage must be executed
absolutely, even if the voltage values have not changed.
3.3.1.1.1.1 (seealso6.5.3.2.9.1Resetregulator
The current controller converts from current to Skt. For that the control executes a learning welding
operation. The first welding operation after a controller reset is a learning welding operation.
When should a learning welding operation be done?
A new learning welding operation has to be done absolutely when changing the power unit. In case
of nonsatisfying weldings by reason of changed marginal conditions a new learning welding
operation may lead to better results.

9 Connectiondiagrams
The welding control "Filius" features a lot of functionalities. So connecting the welding
control "Filius" is illustrated in several connection diagrams.
The supply of the "Filius" welding control including any inputs and outputs is done by the
thyristor power unit, if it is attached with a thyristor power unit of the "Filius" power unit
family.
If other power units are used the control as well as inputs and outputs must be supplied
with 24 VDC by an additional power supply unit.
The "Filius" signal inputs can be connected to contacts or PLC outputs. The contact inputs
are supplied over plug 1 of the connectors X7, X8.
When using PLC outputs the 0 V level of the PLC supply must be connected with pin
X7/12 and X8/10.
Caution; external voltage must not be connected
to the pins X7/1 or X8/1!
