Digital WPS: adjusting WPS parameters

Even though the selected WPS automatically adjusts the welding parameters, you can adjust them further according to your preferences.

You can adjust all parameters through Control Pad or the wire feeder display. Through the gun remote control, you can adjust wire feed speed, fine tuning and dynamics.

If you adjust a parameter whose correct value is essential for the process (the current, voltage or wire feed speed) beyond the range defined in the WPS, the system displays a warning on Control Pad and on the wire feeder display. The parameter for which the warning is shown depends on the process in use. For more information on the parameters related to various processes, see Standard MIG welding processes in X8 MIG Welder and Wise processes.

Depending on the welding program and process in use, it is possible that the welding machine cannot adjust all the settings according to the WPS. Current, voltage and wire feed speed depend on each other, so a controversy between WPS and welding program or process may arise, in which case the parameters are not adjusted according to the WPS.

For information on adjusting the parameters with Control Pad, see Control Pad views: Welding.

For information on adjusting the parameters through the wire feeder display, see Wire feeder views.
