Description
for that Weld Profile) and displays the value in the system.
NOTE |
The default, as well as minimum, value for this setting is 80. If
you need to set a minimum WeldScore™ limit of less than 80 to prevent
your welds from triggering limit alerts, either the training was performed
incorrectly or a variable has changed since the original training was done.
The Weld Profile should be retrained instead of lowering the minimum
WeldScore™ value.
NOTE |
If the Minimum WeldScore field is grayed out, either the power
source does not support WeldScore™ or the power source has older
firmware that needs to be updated. See page 3.1 for details on upgrading
the power source’s firmware.
Weld duration limits (s)
Enter the minimum and maximum amount of time (in seconds) that you
consider acceptable for a weld made using this Weld Profile. If the overall
duration of the weld falls below the minimum value or above the maximum
value set for the weld, the system considers that “out of limit”. When this
happens, the power source performs the action you selected in the Action on
duration limit drop-down on the Out-of-limit actions tab (page 10.5).
Amperage limits
Enter the minimum and maximum amps for the arc current you consider
acceptable for a weld made using this Weld Profile. If the overall amperage
used to make the weld falls below the minimum value or above the
maximum value set for the weld, the system considers that “out of limit”.
When this happens, the power source performs the action you selected in
the Action on amperage limit drop-down on the Out-of-limit actions tab
(page 10.5).
Voltage limits (V)
Enter the minimum and maximum volts for the arc voltage you consider
acceptable for a weld made using this Weld Profile. If the overall voltage
used to make the weld falls below the minimum value or above the
maximum value set for the weld, the system considers that “out of limit”.
When this happens, the power source performs the action you selected in
the Action on voltage limit drop-down on the Out-of-limit actions tab (page
Wire feed speed limits
(ipm)
Enter the minimum and maximum speed (in inches per minute) for the wire
feeder that you consider acceptable for a weld made using this Weld Profile.
If the overall wire feed speed used to make the weld falls below the
minimum value or above the maximum value set for the weld, the system
considers that “out of limit”. When this happens, the power source
performs the action you selected in the Action on wire feed speed limit drop-
down on the Out-of-limit actions tab (page 10.5).
