Changing characteristic parameters

The process con-
troller

The process controller appears in each screen of the "Optimizing & managing character-
istics" menu item. This process controller supports optimization of pulse characteristics by 
means of the control parameters Fact-I_b control (pi), Fact-I_p1 control (pi) and Fact-f con-
trol (p)

Process controller with setting ranges

The value set for a regulator parameter should ideally lie within the optimum range. In this 
way, there is enough reserve for controlling the welding process. 

The process controller is of no significance for standard characteristics and CMT charac-
teristics.
