Pin
Name
Description
E
Contactor
When the robot control puts +24 VDC on this line with respect to pin J,
the HMC-410 will close the contactor on the power source it is attached
to, producing an output voltage on the output terminals.
F
Wire On
When the robot control puts +24 VDC on this line with respect to pin J,
the HMC-410 will run the wire at the speed set in the INCH SPEED win-
dow on the HMC-410. If EEE is selected for INCH SPEED, the speed
will be set by the voltage on pins W and X.
G
Gas On
When the robot control puts +24 VDC on this line with respect to pin J,
the HMC-410 will purge the gas lines.
H

Robot Common
K
Inch Feedback
This line is set to +24 VDC with respect to pin J by the HMC-410 when
the HMC-410 Inch controls are activated. The purpose of this line is to
tell the robot to return inch speed command voltage on pins W and X
when the HMC-410 is inching wire locally.
L
Weld Inhibit
This line is set to +24 VDC with respect to pin J by the HMC-410 when
the HMC-410 is in test (dry run) mode.
M
Weave Inhibit
This line is set to +24 VDC with respect to pin J by the HMC-410 when
the operator wants to run an arc with the robot’s weave mode disabled.
N
Wire Stuck
This line is set to +24 VDC with respect to pin J by the HMC-410 when
the HMC-410 senses a wire stuck.
P
Welder Ready
This line is set to +24 VDC with respect to pin J by the HMC-410 when
the HMC-410 is ready to weld.
