Events Tab
There are several types of events on a Welding Power Source that create downtime. CheckPoint™ collects
the data from these events and displays them on the Events tab. The Events tab provides a Summary graph
and report of the events that have occurred, as well as a History report of those events, for the single
Welding Power Source you have selected in the Asset Tree or the Container of power sources you have
selected. For both reports, you can customize the data based on several criteria.
NOTE | The reports in the Standard version of CheckPoint™ only
displays up to 30 days of data. This is important when you
select date ranges in the Criteria window of a report. The
Premium version of CheckPoint™ allows you to access
report data for up to one (1) year.
CheckPoint™ monitors the following events:
ƒ Power: When an operator turns a power source on or an event occurs relating to the power of a
Welding Power Source, the power source records a Power event.
ƒ Limit: Weld Profiles used during the welding process contain minimum and maximum
acceptable values for the weld (e.g., the lowest WeldScore™ accepted for a weld using Weld
Profile 3 could be 95%). When the measurements of the weld go outside those set values, the
power source issues a Limit event.
ƒ System: Anytime an event occurs that affects the whole system (such as missed welds or the
weld sequencer fails), the power sources records a System event.
ƒ Service: If a power source experiences an event that requires some maintenance or diagnostics
to determine what has happened, the power source records a Service event.
ƒ Wirelow: When the wire package on the power source reaches a certain level, the power source
records a Wirelow event to warn you that it is close to running out of the material.
TIP | Users with the Management access on their user account
can set up alerts to be notified by CheckPoint™ (via e-mail
or text message) when some of these events occur (page
5.6).
