5.3.12 Main program A mode
Different welding tasks or positions on a workpiece demand various welding performances (operating
points) or welding programs. The following parameters are stored in each of the up to 16 programs:
• Operating mode
• Welding type
• superPuls (ON/OFF)
• Wire feed speed (DV2)
• Voltage correction (U2)
• Dynamics (DYN2)
The user can change the main program welding parameters using the following components.

1) in case of correction mode, refer to Special parameters "P7 – correction mode, limit value setting"
Example 1: Welding workpieces with different sheet metal thicknesses (non-latched)
Figure 5-46
Example 2: Welding different positions on a workpiece (latched)
