10.8.2 About the welds
Review of the second block based on the column headings.
Weld no.
In the example above, data has been stored for four welds, which can be read
out from the far left column, Weld no. A new row is created with a new Weld no.
for each new weld. A weld must be longer than one second to be registered.
Note that this means that a start procedure that has been interrupted, but is
longer than one second, is logged with a new Weld no. A change to a parameter
during a weld in progress does not give cause for a new weld no. but is counted
as the same weld. Neither does requesting a new welding schedule give cause
for a new weld no., this produces a new row with the same weld no. in the qdata
file. This makes it easier to track changes made while welding is in progress.
SchedNo.
The last requested welding schedule.
ChangeStatus
Cause of any changes in the welding data parameters, see description below
Date
The date on which the weld was performed, in YY/MM/DD format.
Start time
The time when the weld was started in hours, minutes and seconds.
Weld time
Welding time, i.e. duration of actual weld, in seconds.
Iave
The average value of the current intensity during the welding time, in amperes.
Imax
The maximum value of the current intensity during the welding time (A).
Imin
The minimum value of the current intensity during the welding time (A).
Uave
The average value of the voltage during the welding time, in volts.
Umax
The maximum voltage value during the welding time (V).
Umin
The minimum voltage value during the welding time (V).
Pave
The average value of the power during the welding time, in watts.
Pmax
The maximum value of the power during the welding time (W).
Pmin
The minimum value of the power during the welding time (W).
10.8.3 Explanation of ChangeStatus:
ChangeStatus is based on a combination of three values:
Bit 0
Neither the wire speed nor voltage have been changed after the last requested
welding schedule
Bit 1
Wire speed and/or voltage have been changed during last weld
Bit 2
Registration is a part weld as it starts in a weld data switch (not new welding
start)
