DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Caddyr Mig C200i is a set of following modules:
S

power PCB -- AP1

control PCB -- AP2

MMC panel -- AP3

gas valve -- K1

wire feeding motor -- M1

fan -- M2

The power PCB contains all the track of energy conversion. It is supplied from the 230V
50/60Hz mains. There is the EMI filter on the input, then half--controlled thyristor bridge.
Thyristor are not fired until DC bus capacitors are not charged via pre--charge circuit.
Between the rectifier and the DC bus capacitors the boost converter is placed. It contains
the high frequency inductor, the switch (MOSFET) and the diode. Control system of the
boost converter is placed on the control PCB (AP2). The switch in boost converter control
provides: a) sinusoidal shape of the input mains current, b) stabilised voltage on the DC
bus.
By the principle, the voltage is higher the amplitude value of the AC input voltage. In the
CaddyMigs it is 390...400V. The boost converters frequency is 70 kHz. The converter that
provides the power to welding has two switch forward topology. The switching frequency is
70 kHz. By the principle, the maximum converters duty cycle is less then 50%. Transformer
ratio is 5,5:1, what means that peak voltage in secondary winding of the power transformer
is about 70V. The high frequency rectifier + inductor are connected to the transformers
secondary winding. The control circuits of the forward converter are included in the control
PCB.
Beyond the both converters control circuits the control PCB contains also the rest of needed
circuits. On the primary side it includes voltage supervisor, auxiliary power supply, primary
circuits overheating and overvoltage protection. On the secondary side there are: process
sequence and control, short arc control, overheating protection, wire feed speed regulator,
and gas valve controller.

AP1:1. EMI mains filter

The EMI mains filter contains capacitors and inductors intended for suppression of
the common--mode interferences and the differential--mode interferences. The EMI
filter contains following parts: L05, C1, L01, L02, C5, C8, C16. The resistors R30,
R31 provides discharge path for the filters capacitors.

AP1:2. Pre-- charge circuit

The pre--charge circuit contains diodes V01, V02 and PTC resistors B01, B02.
Internal diodes MV3, MV4 of the power module together with diodes V01, V02
create the non--controlled rectifier. The filter capacitors C2, C21, C22 are charged
by this rectifier via non--linear resistor B01, B02 up to the amplitude value of the
mains voltage. It is lower then the eventual DC bus voltage, nevertheless it protects
the supply mains and capacitors from the big inrush currents and makes easier
start of the PFC boost converter.
After charging of the capacitors, the auxiliary supply placed on the control PCB,
starts to work, providing also firing pulses to thyristors. The main rectifier made of
thyristors MV1, MV2, and diodes MV3, MV4 takes over the rectifying role.
The boost converter created by the inductor L03, switch MV5 (and MV6), diodes
MV7, MV8 (MV9, MV10) starts working, charging the DC bus capacitors to
390...400V.

AP1:3. Two-- switch forward converter

The two--switch forward converter is created on transistors MV11, MV18, and
diodes MV14, MV15. Others diodes and transistors if exists, are not activated.
There is the current sense resistor MR1 placed on the (--) placed before the PFC
converter. Its purpose is to provide information of the momentary current to the
PFC control system what is needed for creation of the average current control loop
in the PFC control.
Drivers for the switches in the PFC and forward converters are placed on the power
PCB.

AP1:4. Current sense transformer

The current sense transformer T02 is placed on the (--) line. It senses the pulse
current, which is needed for creation of the peak current control loop in the
inverters control system.

AP1:5. High frequency transformer

The high frequency transformer is mounted on the power PCB. Due to high power
soldering and anticipated high reliability, replacement of the transformer is not
subject of service routines.

Numbers of outlets of the power transformer.

AP1:6. Thermal protection sensors

The thermal protection sensors are placed inside the power modules (or module)
and on the heatsink of the output rectifier. In the power module there are (is) NTC
(negative temperature coefficient) non--linear sensor -- 22k @ 25_C, while on the
output rectifier the PTC (positive temperature coefficient) 1,0 k @ 25_C linear
sensor is installed.
The replacement of the sensor in the heatsink can be carried out only along with
damaging the old sensor. The new one should be installed by means of the
electrically non--conductive and thermally conductive silicon rubber.

AP2 Analogue control board

The analogue control PCB contains circuits connected to the input (high voltage,
primary) and circuits connected to the output (low voltage, secondary).

High Voltage Circuits

High voltage circuits (primary side) are placed on the right part of the PCB and they
are connected to the external circuits by means of the connector CN1. High voltage
circuits contains:
S

voltage supervision circuits

PFC control circuits

auxiliary power supply

temperature sensors circuits

AP2:1H. Voltage supervision and PFC control

Voltage supervision circuits senses the DC bus voltage (inputs 19,20 CN1) and the
rectified input voltage (input 15 CN1). As long as voltage are not within limits high
voltage enable line (HV_ENABLE) is grounded by means of transistor Q1.
Operation of the PFC and auxiliary power supply is disabled. The reset IC4 is used
for the voltage control. Two of inputs are connected to the rectified input voltage,
one to the DC bus. Operation of the machine is disabled as long as the a.c. voltage
is less then 188 Vrms or drops under 177 Vrms (SENSE3), and DC bus voltage is
less then 259V or drops below 173V (SENSE1). Another sense input (SENSE2)
has very low time constant along with voltage limitation. It provides fast disable
during the machine switching off.

s1Cad200

Edition 101222

PFC control is built on the specialised integrated circuit IC3. PFC control senses
the DC bus voltage, input current (5,6 CN1) and input voltage, providing the
constant 390...400V on the DC bus along with sinusoidal form of the input current.
This goal is achieved by the control of the switch in the boost converter placed on
the power PCB. Actually, the control circuit placed on the control PCB produces the
drive signal for PFC switch.

Specialised PFC controller (IC3), used in the present solution, does not provide
overvoltage protection. Therefore, extra two comparators were applied to control
the DC bus voltage. There is a two--step overvoltage protection. First, on the lower
level simply cuts off the drive signal from the PFC control IC by means of the logic
AND gate.
Second level is higher the first, and it resets the PFC control IC via its soft start
input.
The system of overvoltage protection is needed especially for work with engine
driven generator, where the voltage surges occur at the end of the welding.

AP2:2H. Auxiliary power supply

The auxiliary power supply provides power for primary and secondary control
circuits. Basically it produces +15V supply for the primary circuits and galvanically
separated +24V supply for secondary circuit. In addition it provides firing pulses to
the thyristor in the input rectifier.
The auxiliary power supply is switched off by means of the voltage control circuit
(HV_ENABLE). Therefore thyristor firing pulses are not delivered until DC bus
capacitors are charged to the peak input voltage.

Edition 101222

The auxiliary power supply is built as flyback converter. Estimated maximum power
of it is 25W. The most loaded output is the +24V secondary side. It provides the
power for all low voltage control circuits and also power for the fan and the gas
valve.
The wire feeder motor is supplied from the auxiliary winding of the power
transformer. However its energy storage capacitor is pre--charged from the +24V,
to provide power for uninterrupted start of the motor.

AP2:3H. Thermal protection on the primary side

As temperature sensors (sensor) are on the high voltage potential, the thermal
protection circuit (fig. ) is placed on the high voltage side, then the 0/1 signal is
transferred via the optocoupler IC2 with extended isolation, to the secondary
circuits.

Low Voltage Circuits

Low voltage circuits (secondary side) are placed on the left part of the PCB and
they are connected to the external circuits by means of the connector existed
connectors, except the CN1.
Low voltage circuits include:
S

command system of the semiautomatic welder

short arc control system

wire feeder motor speed control circuit

low--energy control of the electromagnetic valve

AP2:1L. Command system

Command system produces assumed program control on discrete inputs and
outputs. In particular it provides logic dependencies and generates the sequence
control of parts of the semiautomatic welder.

s1Cad200

Edition 101222

The start signal from the welding torch is the basic input of the command system.
As shown on the fig. the start signal can be disabled in several cases:
S

thermal protection from the primary side (IC2),

thermal protection form the secondary side (CN4.5,6),

torch switch is pressed during the power up (charging of the C342, hold by the
pressed switch)

lack of the +24V_ENABLE signal

As shown any of listed cases keeps the ENABLE line low. Note that even after
removal all listed error signals, the machine is kept in disable state, until the torch
switch is released. This is additional protection of unintentional switching on.
The command system is not shown entirely. The sequence of operation of the
subassemblies of the semiautomatic welder is shown on the fig.
Note that there are no proportions on this drawings.

As shown, there is 0,2 gas pre--flow delay. The power source is kept on until the
motor is running.

AP2:2L. Electromagnetic valve

The electromagnetic valve control works in a specific mode.

As shown on the diagram the first 0,2 s coil of the valve is supplied from 24 volts
d.c. Then the generator starts running, providing 50%, 20kHz, 24V amplitude
supply of the gas welding. In result the drawn power is reduced down to1/4 of the
rated power, but the valve due to its relay--type characteristics is kept open.

AP2:3L. Short arc control

The voltage reference is proportional with different coefficients to:

a. wire feed speed reference
b. voltage on the Umin input
c. voltage on the Upot input
In the previous solution the source a. was replaced by the EMF -- voltage
proportional to the actual wire feed speed, i.e. the EMF voltage was 0, when the
motor was stopped.
In one or either way, the voltage reference was in relation to the wire feed speed.
In the actual solution it is achieved by grounding pin 18 of CN6. In previous
solution, the EMF signal was delivered to micro controlled and then subtracted from
the reference with adequate coefficient.

Voltage feedback is given on the CN4.1. Note that low voltage ground (GND_INV)
is connected via CN4.2 to the power supply (+). It enables creation of the summing
point in system with unipolar supply. Nevertheless the voltage feedback inverting
amplifier gives the signal in opposite phase. This signal is delivered to the next
inverting amplifier, which is not shown on the drawing. This amplifier also adds the
fraction proportional to the ramp signal, created during short circuit. In his way, a
current reference signal is delivered to the peak current mode PWM integrated
circuit IC11.

The current reference signal IREF_IN from the voltage regulator is delivered via 2
diodes to the current input (COMP) of the PWM controller IC11. Diodes were
applied to compensate voltage drop on diodes embedded in the IC11.
Current feedback is provided by means of the current transformer TO02, placed on
the power PCB. Pulsed current signal is delivered to the current sense input
(Isense) of the IC11. As the voltage on the DC bus is stable, the average primary
current is proportional to the drawn power. Therefore, the signal from the current
transformer is also given the input of the integrator on IC9 (8,9,10), providing the
power limitation.

AP2:4L. Wire feeder motor speed controller

The motor drive is supplied from the auxiliary winding on the main trafo as shown
on the figure below.

The wire speed motor controller is built on the peak current mode PWM controller
IC. This IC does not provide the reference input, the internal reference is +2,5V.
In this case the negative voltage feedback is provided in the form of the sourcing
current, and the reference value is provided in the form of the sinking current. PWM
controller commands the MOSFET Q17, which delivers PW modulated voltage to
the motor.
When the motor must be switched off the Q26 MOSFET short circuits the motor,
providing effective way of fast stopping of the motor.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING !
STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage circuit
boards and electronic components.

ESD

Observe precautions for handling electrostatic

sensitive devices.

Use proper static--proof bags and boxes.

What is ESD?
A sudden transfer or discharge of static electricity from one object to another. ESD stands for
Electrostatic Discharge.

How does ESD damage occur?

ESD can cause damage to sensitive electrical components, but is not dangerous to people.
ESD damage occurs when an ungrounded person or object with a static charge comes into
contact with a component or assembly that is grounded. A rapid discharge can occur,
causing damage. This damage can take the form of immediate failure, but it is more likely
that system performance will be affected and the component will fail prematurely.

How do we prevent ESD damage?

ESD damage can be prevented by awareness. If static electricity is prevented from building
up on you or on anything at your work station, then there cannot be any static discharges.
Nonconductive materials (e.g. fabrics), or insulators (e.g. plastics) generate and hold static
charge, so you should not bring unnecessary nonconductive items into the work area.
It is obviously difficult to avoid all such items, so various means are used to drain off any
static discharge from persons to prevent the risk of ESD damage. This is done by simple
devices: wrist straps, connected to ground, and conductive shoes.
Work surfaces, carts and containers must be conductive and grounded, use only antistatic
packaging materials. Overall, handling of ESD--sensitive devices should be minimized to
prevent damage.

Before the service work

WARNING !
High DC voltage may remain on the electrolytic capacitors on the power board.
Check the voltage and discharge capacitors if needed.
Disconnect the equipment from the mains before opening the housing.
The capacitors of the PFC filters are charged up to 400V and collect significant charge. It is
recommended to wait 5 min. after switching the equipment off and disconnecting it from
mains. This time may include the time of unscrewing all screws of the housing.
Check the voltage on the capacitors on the X8 pads. Openings have standard 2,0mm
diameter as standard multimeters probes.
If accelerated discharge of the high voltage is required use 10kW 5W resistor with safe
outlets (i.e. cables with 2,0 mm probes). Note that the time constant is still 15 s.
It is recommended to discharge capacitors entirely.

s1Cad200

-- 32 --

Edition 101222

When the voltage is less then 50V a 1kW 0,5W resistor may be used for the final discharge.

Handling of the control PCB

Carefully put the control PCB in place. Try to avoid touching the wrong pins during
placement of the PCB. The slit in the control PCB and the diode on the power PCB should
help with positioning. Nevertheless remove and place the control PCB carefully.

Insulation resistance measurement

s1Cad200

-- 33 --

Edition 101222

ATTENTION!
All primary and secondary circuits must be short--circuited to protect semiconductor devices.
The insulation resistance between welding circuits (secondary circuits) and primary circuits
should be more then 5M.
It is recommended to carry out the insulation resistance test during periodical survey
dependently on the environmental conditions, not less then once a year.
If needed, the inside of the equipment should be cleaned by means of the compressed air.

Assembly of the housing

Two main parts of plastic housing are assembled together by means of bolts.

s1Cad200

-- 34 --

Edition 101222

There are tongue--and--groove joints in the upper part of housing. To avoid damaging of the
joint and achieve good connection, it is strongly recommended to follow the bolts insertion
sequence presented on the drawing.

The equipement seems to

work properly, however the
welding seems to be impossible.

Check the open circuit voltage.

If it is significantly less then 58V, check the DC bus
voltage (390...400V). Search for the failure in the PFC
part.

Check the gas supply.

Visually check the quality of the wire feeding.

Correct wire placement, roll etc.

Check gas connection.

Check the gas valve operation by listening to the sound

of the tripping.

Check the voltage on the solenoid. In the steady state it

should amount approx. 12V DC (average).

Note that any failure is latched, when the torch button is

on. Release it if pressed.

Overheating should disappear after 3...4 minutes. Wait.

Switch the equipment off and switch on again after 2

minutes.

If it is still disabled -- look for failure in the control PCB.

Lack of any voltage may cause permanent disability.

No shielding gas.

The equipement seems to

work, but it is permanently
blocked by some error.
The yellow diode is on (the
display shows error).

s1Cad200

-- 35 --

Edition 101222

General failure of the power block

Failure in the power block frequently means the short--circuit of the DC bus. Unfortunately it
causes an avalanche of further failures. Mechanism of the avalanche of failures is shown on
the picture. DC bus short--circuit causes damage and disconnection of the shunt resistor
inside the module. Consequently resistors R125, R151 on the control PCB are damaged
into the disconnection. It leads to further failures, in particular of the PFC control circuit.
To avoid the damage of the control circuit the protective fuse and transient suppressor were
implemented. However it does not guarantee 100% of the control PCB protection.
WARNING!
When the power PCB is replaced, only the fully functional control PCB could be applied.
Verify the control PCB by checking the resistance of R125 and R151 on the CN1 connector.
Both resistors should have 10 Ohm resistance.
To check the power block measure the DC--bus voltage and/or check the PCB using
ohmmeter. The DC bus must be completely discharged before using the ohmmeter. Use
diode check mode. Presence of the big capacitor is showed by the growing resistance.

G

In QSett mode the appropriate welding voltage is automatically set by the machine.
QSett monitors the welding arc and continuously adjusts the voltage to maintain the
optimal setting.
Calibration
The first time you use QSett mode, and when you change welding wire material or
shielding gas, you need to allow QSett to calibrate. This is done by making a test
weld (min. 6 seconds). Simply start welding and let QSett find the correct
parameter settings.
Material selection
Since different materials have different heat dispersion it is necessary to select the
right material group (H) so that a correct plate thickness value can be calculated.
Plate thickness setting
Set the plate thickness of the object you want to weld using the plate thickness
setting knob (I). This knob sets the wire feed speed (C). A suitable voltage setting is
automatically calculated by QSett. The recommended plate thickness for the set
wire feed speed is displayed simultaneously (D). The plate thickness
recommendation is calculated for a fillet weld using the following wire dimensions:
Fe/Ss and CuSi -- 0,8mm. Al -- 1,0mm. If you use a smaller diameter wire you
should set a slightly higher value for plate thickness than what you are going to weld.
If you use a larger diameter wire set a slightly lower value.
Heat input adjustment
The heat input can be adjusted with the QSett knob (F) in steps from --9 to +9 to
make the weld hotter or colder. A higher value gives a hotter, more concave, weld
(longer arc length) for more penetration. A lower value gives a colder, more convex,
weld (shorter arc length) to prevent burning through the welded material. Typically
the QSett value should be set to 0 which gives you an average heat input that is

s2Cad200

-- 41 --

Edition 101222

suitable in most cases. The heat input setting is symbolised with a thermometer
indicating hotter or colder settings.

Error codes
If an error occurs only the error code will be visible.

Setting the dynamics (Fe/SS)

In certain cases especially for mild steel welding in different gases the quality of
welding may be improved by changing the dynamics of the CaddyR Mig C200i.
Setting of the dynamics function is normally hidden, but can be invoked by the
pressing and keeping pressed the pushbutton 7 for 5s or more. When this setting is
available, all graphics from the right side of the display disappears, and only number
from 00 to 10 is displayed . This number corresponds to the virtual inductance. 00
means that virtual inductance is small and the welding arc is sharp, 10 means that
the virtual inductance is high and the welding arc is soft.
The value of the virtual inductance can be set by means of the knob 8. Default
setting is 05.
Recommendations:
S

When the CO2 is used it is recommended to set set lower inductance then 05,
for instance from 03 down to 00.

When the Ar/CO2 mixture is used, the operator should set higher inductance
from 05 up to 10.
The interface goes back to the regular appearance 10s after the last movement of
the knob 8 or pressing pushbutton 7. Operator can accelerate the return to the
regular mode by again pressing and keeping pressed the pushbutton 7 for 5s.

Polarity change

+/-- TERMINALS

The machine is delivered with the welding wire connected to the plus pole. Some
wires, e.g. gasless cored wires, are recommended to be welded with negative
polarity (welding wire connected to the minus pole and return cable connected to the
plus pole). Check the recommended polarity for the welding wire you want to use.
The polarity can be changed inside the wire feed cabinet:
1. Switch off the machine and disconnect the mains cable.
2. Bend the rubber covers back to give access to the cable lugs.
3. Remove the nuts and washers. Note the correct order of the washers.
4. Change the position of the cables to the desired polarity (see marking).
5. Install the washers in correct order and tighten the nuts to spanner tightness.
6. Make sure the rubber covers are covering the cable lugs.

Edition 101222

Wire feed pressure

Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then
set the pressure of the wire feeders pressure rollers. It is important that the
pressure is not too great.

Fig 1

Fig 2

To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against
an insolated object, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the gun approx. 5 mm from the piece of wood (fig. 1) the feed
rollers should slip.
If you hold the gun approx. 50 mm from the piece of wood, the wire should be
fed out and bend (fig. 2).

Replacing and inserting wire

To prepare the machine, a spool with wire should be installed. See technical data for
suitable wire dimensions for each wire type.
Use only 200mm spools. 100mm/1kg spools are not applicable.
S

Open the side panel.

Place the spool on the hub and secure it with the lock.

Disconnect the pressure arm by folding it sidewards, the pressure roller slides
away.

Straighten out the new wire 10--20 cm. File away burrs and sharp edges from the
end of the wire before inserting it into the wire feed unit.

Make sure that the wire goes properly into the feed roller track and into the outlet
nozzle and the wire guide.

Secure the pressure arm.

Close the side panel.

Feed the wire through the welding torch until it comes out of the current tip. This
operation should be carried out carefully, as the wire is on the welding potential and
unintentional arc may occur. Keep the torch off conducting parts during feeding the

s2Cad200

-- 44 --

Edition 101222

wire through and terminate wire feeding instantly when the wire comes out of the
current tip.
WARNING!
Do not keep the torch near the ears or the face during wire feeding, as this may
result in personal injury.
NOTE.
Remember to use the correct contact tip in the torch for the wire diameter used. The
torch is fitted with a contact tip for 0,8mm wire. If you use another diameter you
must change the contact tip. The wire liner fitted in the torch is recommended for
welding with Fe and Ss wires. Change the liner to the PTFE type for welding Al or
Brazing (CuSi). See 7.2 regarding how to change the wire liner.
Changing the feed roller groove
The machine is delivered with the feed roller set for 0.8/1.0mm welding wire. If you
want to use it for 0.6mm wire you must change the groove in the feed roller.
1. Fold back the pressure device to release the pressure roller.
2. Switch on the machine and press the torch trigger to position the feed roller so
that the locking screw is visible.
3. Switch off the machine.
4. Use a 2mm Allen key to open the locking screw about half a turn.
5. Pull the feed roller off the shaft and turn it around. See marking on the side of the
feed roller for suitable wire diameters.
6. Put the roller back on the shaft and make sure it goes all the way in. You may
need to turn the roller to position the locking screw over the flat surface of the
shaft.
7. Tighten the locking screw.

Shielding gas
The choice of suitable shielding gas depends on the material. Typically mild steel is
welded with mixed gas (Ar + CO2) or carbon dioxide. Stainless steel can be welded
with mixed gas (Ar + CO2 or O2) and Aluminium with pure argon. MIG/MAG brazing
(CuSi) uses pure argon or mixed gas (Ar + O2). Check the recommended gas for the
welding wire you want to use. QSett mode (see 6.2.2) will automatically set the
optimal welding arc with the gas you use.

Overheating protection
Overheating is indicated on the LCD with error code E4. A thermal overload cutout protects the unit against overheating by disabling the welding if overheating occurs. The
cutout resets automatically when the unit has cooled down.

MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
Note!
All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself
attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any
faults.

Inspection and cleaning

Check regularly that the power source is free from dirt.
The power source should be regularly blown clean using dry compressed air at reduced
pressure. More frequently in dirty environments.
Otherwise the air inlet/outlet may become blocked and cause overheating.
Welding gun
S

Cleaning and replacement of the welding guns wear parts should take place at
regular intervals in order to achieve trouble--free wire feed. Blow the wire guide
clean regularly and clean the contact tip.
