System Status Tab
The System status tab displays any problems that may be present in any of the components of the Welding
Power Source, including hardware, firmware and software (e.g., DeviceNet module, wire drives, or user
interfaces).
Figure 5.2 System Status Tab
Diagnostic Display
Power Wave® Manager automatically runs a diagnostic on the Welding Power Source when you connect to
a power source and displays the System status section for you when the connection is successful. If there
are no problems with the Welding Power Source, the Ready icon ( ) displays and indicates that the
machine is ready to weld (Figure 5.1 on page 5.1).
If the program detects an event or a malfunction in the Welding Power Source, it will attempt to determine
which component caused the malfunction and displays the Error icon ( ), along with any error codes or
log entries to help you correct the problem.
TIP | To retrieve more information about a certain error code,
refer to the Lookup error section on page 9.1. You can also
double-click the icon next to the error, and the system
automatically takes you to the Lookup error section.
Each event has a time stamp and a description. For modules that have a real-time clock, such as a robot or
Ethernet module, the time stamp will indicate the time of the event. Otherwise, the time stamp indicates
the amount of time that passed since the Welding Power Source powered up before the power source
experienced the error.
For example, in Figure 5.2, the Weld Operator powered up the power source and 13 seconds later, the
event occurred.
