The via control signals setable minimal and maximum values for wire feed speed (MIG/MAG) / 
welding current (TIG) depend on the job specific settings of parameters DV-MIN/DV-MAX / 
RANGE-MIN/RANGE-MAX. With this, the upper and lower limits can be set (in the PC300 theses 
parameters refer to the expert model constants). 

 

With the previous RINT X11 control, it was necessary to activate the signal for control signal 
mode and select program number 0. With RINT X12, it is no longer necessary to additionally 
select program 0. 
As a special feature, control signal default settings by an alternative control such as Expert 2.0 or 
by a remote control are possible when the control signal mode is disabled and program 0 is set.
