X8 MIG WELDER
2.4 Operation
This identification data resides in the WeldEye cloud service, from where the device takes the data and
matches it with the identifiers that the welder has entered either manually or using barcodes.
The identification database is synchronized from WeldEye to the device every 15 minutes when the welding
system is online. A local database is stored in the power source's internal memory to ensure reliable WeldEye
functionality also in poor connectivity situations.
If you enter a new barcode in Control Pad, for example, a new filler batch number, it appears also in the
WeldEye cloud service, and is available for use by all welding systems connected to the service.
The 15-minute delay in updating the identifier database means that it takes up to 15 minutes for the device
to recognize any new identifiers added to the WeldEye database.
Time-keeping
To provide accurate information about the welding activities, the device uses an internal real-time clock.
It records the exact time when welding starts and stops, when parameter samples are taken, and other
functions. It is automatically synchronized with the WeldEye cloud service.
Internally, the device uses global UTC time (Coordinated Universal Time) adjusted to the time zone of the
welder. The time zone is managed site-wide in the WeldEye cloud service.
The time is displayed as the welder's local time on Control Pad's display and in the WeldEye cloud service,
where you can search welding runs based on the time when the welding took place.
