A new communication module for direct control of an ultrasonic oscillator from a PLC.
iQLinQ(TM)
All functions of the ultrasonic oscillator can be directly controlled/monitored with a single cable!
The communication module "iQLinQ," developed for the Duquesne iQ series probe oscillator, allows for direct control and monitoring of the ultrasonic oscillator from a PLC when used in combination with an automatic machine. The cumbersome wiring task of connecting each conventional I/O signal to terminals is completed simply by connecting one cable to a connector. This eliminates the hassle of wiring work and wiring errors, significantly reducing the engineering costs involved. Additionally, all welding control settings, data monitoring, limit settings, and confirmation of judgment results can be performed from the PLC, allowing the ultrasonic oscillator to be fully integrated and used as part of the automatic machine. In traditional methods, an analog unit was required for amplitude control and oscillation output signals, but using "iQLinQ" eliminates the need for these analog units. This new era communication unit completely disrupts the conventional control methods for ultrasonic oscillators in automatic machines, further enhancing the combination of the automatic machine and ultrasonic oscillator, and greatly contributing to the overall functionality of the equipment.

basic information
Dukein's iQLinQ is a proprietary communication protocol for connecting, controlling, and monitoring automatic devices and ultrasonic oscillators. It is compatible with the iQ series probe oscillators and supports industrial communication protocols such as Ethernet/IP, CC-Link, ProfiBus, and EtherCAT. iQLinQ is a solution that simplifies the communication protocol between Dukein's iQ series probe oscillators and the PLC of automatic devices. By adopting iQLinQ, various benefits arise, including reduced engineering costs (for programming and wiring work), elimination of the risk of incorrect wiring, and enhanced functionality of devices due to the ability to control and monitor all functions. Users can set welding conditions and obtain real-time data and welding result data entirely from the PLC by using iQLinQ. The combination of the reliable digital control of the iQ oscillator, which provides precise and stable welding, and iQLinQ also contributes to further cost and downtime reduction.
