5.2 Welding programs
The welding programs function is factory set to disabled and must be activated for use with the parame-
ter
in the machine configuration menu
> see 5.11 chapter
.
In each selected welding task (JOB),
> see 5.1.2 chapter
, 16 programs can be set, saved and called up.
In program “0” (default setting) the welding current can be infinitely adjusted across the entire range. In
programs 1-15, 15 different welding currents (incl. operating mode and pulse function) are defined.
The welding machine has 16 programs, which you can change during welding.
Changes made to the other welding parameters during the course of the program have the
equivalent effect on all programs.
The change to the welding parameters is saved immediately in the JOB.
Example:
Program number
Welding current
Operating mode
Pulse function
1
80A
Non-latched
Pulses on
2
70A
latched
Pulses off
The operating mode cannot be changed during the welding process. If welding is started with program 1
(non-latched operating mode), program 2 controls the setting of ignition program 1 despite the latched
setting and is implemented to the end of the welding process.
The pulse function (pulses off, pulses on) and the welding currents are transferred from the correspond-
ing programs.

5.2.2 Specifying max. no. of accessible programs
This function can be used to specify the maximum number of programs which can be called up
(only applies to the welding torch). According to the factory setting, all 16 programs can be called
up. If necessary these can be limited to a specific number.
To limit the number of programs, the welding current needs to be set to 0A for the next, unused
program. For example, if only programs 0 to 3 are being used, the welding current is set to 0A in
program 4. A maximum of programs 0 to 3 can then be called up on the welding torch.
