Status information
In the Kemppi Cobotics application you can view the communication between the welding system and the cobot.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| General | |
| Communication OK | Green light: Communication between the welding system and the cobot has been established. No light: Communication between the welding system and the cobot has not been established. |
| Power source | |
| System ready | Green light: The welding system is ready for welding. All system devices are correct and working. No light: The welding system is not ready for welding. |
| Power source ready | Green light: The power source is ready to start a new weld. No light: The power source is not ready to start a new weld. |
| Arc ON | Green light: The welding arc is established. No light: The welding arc is not established. |
| Cycle ON | Green light: The welding cycle is in progress (the pre gas and post gas phases are included in the welding cycle). No light: The welding cycle is complete. |
| Robot | |
| Welding allowed | Safeguards the StartWelding bit so that welding cannot be started if the cobot is not ready.
Green light: The cobot is ready to start a new weld. No light: The cobot is not ready to start a new weld. |
| Robot control | Green light: Certain functions, such as wire inch and gas test, switch to cobot mode in the welding equipment and the welding gun trigger is disabled.
No light: No functions are in cobot mode and the welding gun trigger is enabled. |
| Start welding | Starts welding or simulation if the simulation mode is ON.
Green light: The cobot has requested welding or simulation. No light: The cobot has not requested welding or simulation. |
| Simulation | Green light: The simulation mode is ON. During welding in the simulation mode the arc is not lit and wire is not fed. In this mode the operation of the Arc ON and Cycle ON bits is simulated without an ignited arc. The StartWelding bit
controls simulation. No light: The simulation mode is OFF. The StartWelding bit controls welding. |
| Gas blow | Green light: The shielding gas valve is open for gas blow. No light: The shielding gas valve is closed. |
| Wire inch forward | Green light: The wire inch forward function is ON. No light: The wire inch forward function is OFF. |
| Wire inch backward | Green light: The wire inch backward function is ON. No light: The wire inch backward function is OFF. |
