CONTROL CABLE CONNECTIONS
General Guidelines
Genuine Lincoln control cables should be used at all times
(except where noted otherwise). Lincoln cables are specifically
designed for the communication and power needs of the Power
Wave
® / Power Feed ™ systems. Most are designed to be con-
nected end to end for ease of extension. Generally, it is recom-
mended that the total length not exceed 100ft. (30.5m). The use
of non-standard cables, especially in lengths greater than 25
feet, can lead to communication problems (system shutdowns),
poor motor acceleration (poor arc starting), and low wire driving
force (wire feeding problems). Always use the shortest length of
control cable possible, and
DO NOT coil excess cable .
Regarding cable placement, best results will be obtained when
control cables are routed separate from the weld cables. This
minimizes the possibility of interference between the high cur-
rents flowing through the weld cables, and the low level signals
in the control cables. These recommendations apply to all com-
munication cables including ArcLink
® and Ethernet connections.
Product specific Installation Instructions
Connection Between Power Source and ArcLink ® Compatible
Wirefeeders (K1543, K2683 – ArcLink Control Cable)
The 5-pin ArcLink control cable connects the power source to
the wire feeder. The control cable consists of two power leads,
one twisted pair for digital communication, and one lead for volt-
age sensing. The 5-pin ArcLink connection on the Power Wave
®
R500 is located on the rear panel (See Case Back Controls in the
Operation Section ). The control cable is keyed and polar-
ized to prevent improper connection. Best results will be
obtained when control cables are routed separate from the weld
cables, especially in long distance applications. The recom-
mended combined length of the ArcLink control cable network
should not exceed 200ft. (61.0m).
Connection Between Power Source and Ethernet
Networks
The POWER WAVE
®
R500 is equipped with an IP67 rated ODVA
compliant RJ-45 Ethernet connector, which is located on the rear
panel. All external Ethernet equipment (cables, switches, etc.),
as defined by the connection diagrams, must be supplied by the
customer. It is critical that all Ethernet cables external to either a
conduit or an enclosure are solid conductor, shielded cat 5e
cable, with a drain. The drain should be grounded at the source
of transmission. For best results, route Ethernet cables away
from weld cables, wire drive control cables, or any other current
carrying device that can create a fluctuating magnetic field. For
additional guidelines refer to ISO/IEC 11801. Failure to follow
these recommendations can result in an Ethernet connection
failure during welding.
