F
Wire On
When the robot control puts +24 VDC on this line with respect to pin J,
the HMC-410 will feed the welding wire. If the power source contactor is
on or the INCH SPEED window is programmed to EEE, the speed is set
by the robot. Otherwise, the speed is set in the INCH SPEED window.
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.

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.
