HITACHI DT-CAP2 VL -connecting to welding robot

[idavid]

Hello,

I would ask if someone have user manual for this welding machine HITACHI DT-CAP2 VL. We have bought second hand machine but unfourtunaly we got it without documentation. Now we want to connect it to welding robot but without documentation we are unable to achieve it. For us is accetable wirring to analog output from control unit or some type of digital comunication but in this case we need manual how to adress variables. I think that easiest way is to use analog output from robot controler to control the machine remotely (we dont have pinout of remote conector so we are unable to use it in this maner manual can help us). Also we have find another conector on back-top of welding machine which we dont know for what is used(looks like digital comunication cable-maybe this can be used for RS485 or similatr comunication). I hope that someone can help me with manuals or give some instructions how to connect this machine to welding robot.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
David

Without a manual or pinout I can't help, even google searches point back to this forum!.
