Field

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

10.5).

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).
