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 Probe generators and PLCs. End users can reduce engineering cost, integration risk, and total cost to develop and deliver plastic assembly solutions by switching to iQLinQ™. They can control weld 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.

Parameters that can be obtained via iQLinQ™

All parameters are configured via iQLinQ™

Real time data which includes welder state (ultrasound active or not), frequency, power, and amplitude

Weld cycle data from previous weld which includes: Cycle Count; Good, Bad, and Suspect Part information;

Data on process limit setting exceeded or not reached if bad or suspect part checking is enabled
