Block JOB mode (P16)
The following accessory components support block JOB mode:
• R20 remote control and POWERCONTROL welding torch
Program 0 is always active in JOB 0 and program 1 in all other JOBs
In this operating mode, a total of 27 JOBs (welding tasks) divided into three blocks can be called up using
accessory components.
The following settings must be made in order to be able to use block JOB mode:
• Switch the "Program or Up/Down function" changeover switch to "Program"
(see "Internal operating elements" chapter).
• Set the JOB list to actual JOB list (special parameter P12 = "1")
• Enable block JOB mode (special parameter P16 = "1")
• Change to block JOB mode by selecting one of the special JOBs 129, 130 or 131.
(See the "Selecting MIG/MAG welding tasks" chapter.)
Simultaneous operation with interfaces such as RINT X11, BUSINT X10, DVINT X11 or digital
accessory components such as is the R40 remote control is not possible!

JOB 0:
This JOB allows you to set the welding parameters manually.
Selection of JOB 0 can be prevented via the key switch or with the "block program 0" parameter (P2).
(See "List of special parameters" chapter)
Key switch position 0, or special parameter P2 = 0: JOB 0 is blocked.
Key switch position 1, or special parameter P2 = 1: JOB 0 can be selected.
JOBs 1-9:
Nine JOBs can be called up in each special JOB (see table).
Nominal values for wire speed, arc correction, dynamics etc must be defined in advance in these JOBs.
This can be done easily with the PC300.NETsoftware.
If the software is not available, user-defined JOB lists can be created in the special JOB areas with the
"Copy to" function. (See explanations about this in the "Switching JOB lists (P12)" chapter)
Selecting programs with the standard torch trigger (P17)
Allows you to select a program or switch a program before starting welding.
You switch to the next program by tapping the torch trigger. Once the last enabled program is reached,
you start again at the beginning.
• Program 0 is the first enabled program, provided that it is not blocked.
(see also special parameter P2).
• The last enabled program is P15.
−
If the programs are not limited by special parameter P4 (see special parameter P4).
−
Or if the programs are limited for the selected JOB by the n cycle setting (see parameter P8).
• Welding starts when the torch trigger is held for longer than 0.64 s.
You can select programs with the standard torch trigger in all operating modes (non-latched, special non-
latched. latched and special latched).
