Special signals
In the following chapter special signals for configuration will be described, which are detected during the
start up phase of the RINT X12.
5.4.1
Configuration of special signals
Jumper X4/5 configures the type of use for the output signals of the relais K5 to K8.
X4/5
Operation mode
Signal active
The relais are used for process signals
Signal not active
The relais are used for process monitoring
This configuration does affect the RINT X12 Phoenix / alpha Q only.
5.4.2
Advanced JOB mode
With jumper 13 the so-called advanced JOB mode is activated. In this mode, the information for operating
mode and welding type is no longer taken from the X5/3, X5/4 and X5/5 signals but from the information
relating to the respective welding program. This allows complex program sequences to be controlled. For
example, a process can be started with a start program but ended without an end program (or vice
versa).
The advanced JOB mode disables the input for control signal mode; the control signal mode can
then no longer be selected!
5.5
Standard signals for free actuation
The signals described below should be actuated using external signals as required. The signal to be
created is based on the pre-selection on the actuation logic.
5.5.1
Start process
This signal is used to activate the welding process according to the operating mode set:
X5/6
Operating mode
Signal active The welding process is activated.
Signal not
active
Any welding process running is ended.
Start can only be issued if the enable start signal is active!
5.5.2
Start auxiliary process (for Tetrix / forceTig only)
This signal can be used to activate the auxiliary arc for Tetrix / forceTig welding systems with plasma
equipment.
X5/7
Operating mode
Signal active The auxiliary process is activated.
Signal not
active
Any auxiliary process running is ended.
Only available in combination with Tetrix / forceTig RINT X12.
