5.11.3.15 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).
5.11.3.16 Switching the operating mode and welding type using the wire feed control (P18)
Selecting the operating mode (non-latched, latched, etc.) and welding type (MIG/MAG standard
welding/pulse arc welding) at the wire feed unit control or the welding machine control.
• P18 = 0
-
Program 0: To select the operating mode and welding type at the wire feed unit.
-
Program 1-15: To select the operating mode and welding type at the welding machine.
• P18 = 1
-
Program 0-15: To select the operating mode and welding type at the wire feed unit.
5.11.3.17 Mean value display for superPuls (P19)
Function active (P19 = 1)
• For superPuls, the performance
mean value
from program A (P
A
) and program B (P
B
) is shown on the
display (ex factory).
Function inactive (P19 = 0)
• Only the performance of program A is displayed for superPuls.
If the function is enabled and only "000" is shown on the machine display, this is a rare case of an
incompatible system set-up. Solution: Disable special parameter P19.
5.11.3.18 Predefined execution of the pulsed arc welding process in the PA program (P20)
For machine versions with pulsed arc welding procedures only.
Function active (P20 = 1)
• If the superPuls and welding process switching functions are available and activated, the pulse arc
welding process is always executed in the main program PA (ex factory).
Function inactive (P20 = 0)
• Predefined execution of the pulse arc welding process in the PA program is disabled.
5.11.3.19 Predefined absolute value for relative programs (P21)
Start program (P
START
), down-slope program (P
B
) and end program (P
END
) can be set relative to the main
program (P
A
) or in an absolute manner, as desired.
Function active (P21 = 1)
• Absolute parameter setting
Function inactive (P21 = 0)
• Relative parameter setting (ex factory)
5.11.3.20 Electronic gas flow control, type (P22)
Active only in machines with integrated gas flow control (option ex works).
Adjustment may only be carried out by authorised service personnel (basic setting = 1).
5.11.3.21 Program settings for relative programs (P23)
The start, down-slope and end program relative programs can be set individually or combined for the P0-
P15 operating points. When choosing the combined setting, in contrast to the individual setting, the para-
meter values are saved in the JOB With the individual setting, the parameter values are identical for all
JOBs (except for special JOBs SP1,SP2 and SP3).
