
FOOTSWITCH WELD ABORT:
Select
ON or OFF with the [CHNG] key. This
option controls how the Weld Head Control
interfaces with a foot switch or a force firing
switch. Either or both switches may be
defined as the ‘initiation switch.’
The ON selection means the welding process is initiated by the closure of the initiation switch(es)
and continues to its conclusion as long as the initiation switch(es) remain closed. If the initiation
switch(es) open during the welding process, the welding process will terminate.
The ON selection is preferred for human operators since it allows you to abort the welding process
by releasing the foot switch or foot pedal. Use OFF when controlling the Weld Head Control with a
host computer or PLC.
