The signal can be set in two ways:
-
Pulse signal = wire electrode moves approx. 1 mm forwards
-
Continuous signal = creep function – the wirefeeder is stopped as soon as the wire
electrode touches the welding material
Additional information for TWIN systems:
-
In single wire mode, the wire electrode of the active process line is fed
-
In TWIN mode, both wire electrodes are fed
-
If the TWIN operating mode changes during wirefeeding, the wirefeeding is adapted
in line with the change
Wire backward
(Wire return) -
Single Bit
The Wire backward signal activates the retraction of the wire electrode.
-
It can be used to retract the wire electrode out of the welding torch completely or
only by a specific length.
-
The retraction can be activated independently of the operating mode (internal para-
meter selection, special 2-step mode characteristics, Job Mode, etc.).
-
The signal corresponds to the wire-return button on the control panel of the power
source, on the wirefeeder, and on the torch hosepack. The precise function of the
wire-return button is described in the Operating Instructions of the respective system
components/the documentation of the whole welding system.
-
As long as the Wire backward signal is set, the Wire forward signal cannot be set.
-
The Wire backward signal can only be set if the Robot ready signal is set at the
same time. If this is not the case, retraction of the wire electrode must be controlled
using the wire-return button on one of the Fronius system components (wirefeeder,
torch hosepack, etc.)
-
The wire electrode can be retracted a maximum of 50 m (164 feet 0.5 inches)
(=safety stop)
The signal can be set in two ways:
-
Pulse signal = wire moves approx. 1 mm backwards
-
Continuous signal = permanent wire retraction
Additional information for TWIN systems:
-
In single wire mode, the wire electrode of the active process line is fed
-
In TWIN mode, both wire electrodes are fed
-
If the TWIN operating mode changes during wirefeeding, the wirefeeding is adapted
in line with the change
Error reset (Reset
error)
If an error message is output on the power source, the error is reset using the Error reset
signal.
In order to reset the signal successfully, the signal must remain set for at least 10 ms.
WARNING!
Danger due to welding processes starting unexpectedly.
This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.
▶
The cause of the error must always be resolved before the error message is reset
using the Error reset signal.
