Online control
|
The online control function is supported by the X5 FastMig AP/APC equipment with firmware version 1.50 SP2 or later, and Master M 358 with firmware version 1.20 or later. |
The online control function allows the cobot to adjust certain welding parameters directly. This allows the cobot to change welding parameters during welding, for example when changing the welding position or welding around a corner.
The cobot can adjust the following parameters in online control mode:
| WireFeedSpeed |
0.5 m/min |
| Current |
0 A |
| PlateThickness |
0.0 mm |
| Voltage |
8.0 V |
| FineTuning |
0 |
| Dynamics |
0 |
| PostCurrent |
0 |
| HotStartOn |
OFF (0) |
| CraterFillOn |
OFF (0) |
The online control function is used in the following way:
|
1.
|
Before welding starts, the cobot sets the 'OnlineControl' control bit to state 1. |
|
2.
|
The cobot selects the correct memory channel for welding. |
|
3.
|
The cobot adjusts the values of all online control parameters available in the fieldbus control table. |
|
4.
|
The cobot starts welding in online control mode by setting the 'StartWelding' control bit to state 1. |
|
5.
|
The cobot adjusts online control parameters during welding if necessary. |
|
6.
|
The cobot stops welding by setting the 'StartWelding' control bit to state 0. |
