Installing add-on cards (optional)

Add-on cards are used for connecting an external device, such as a gun cleaning station, or a robot that does not have fieldbus connectivity, to the system.

The wiring of add-on cards is customer-specific, therefore this section gives only examples of the wiring.

Add-on cards require a separate 24 V power supply that is not delivered with the AX MIG Welder equipment.

Turn off the power source before installing add-on cards.

For instructions on removing and attaching the RCM top cover, refer to Removing and attaching RCM top cover.

Tools needed

1.

Install the add-on card so that the groove on the card aligns with the tab on the add-on card slot.

Keep the add-on card straight/horizontal when installing it.

2.

Fix the add-on card to the main board with four screws (M2.5 x 12).

3.

Route the cable through a cable inlet. (For information on cable inlets, refer to Routing cables into RCM.)
