If the voltage and time feedback from the welding arc should exceed
the limit, then a deviation will be logged and printed, if the procedure is
programmed to do so.
2.9.3.15 Voltage Abort (Abort Tolerance)
This is an absolute abort limit (tolerance) set on the welding arc voltage.
The abort limits exists on the maximum and minimum voltage values
allowed.
If the voltage and time feedback from the welding arc should exceed the
abort limit, then a deviation will be logged and printed, if the procedure is
programmed to do so.
3. Keyboard Functions
The factory supplied PC keyboard can be used to fully operate the ACL
welding program. Not only are the keys on the keyboard used for entering
text and numbers but many are also utilized as program function commands.
Described in the sections below are the many keystrokes used on the
keyboard.
3.1 Menu Keys
Pressing the corresponding key on the factory supplied computer keyboard
can bring each MENU forward.
3.2 Acceptance Keys
Once a value has been entered, but not ‘accepted’ at the active highlighted
field, the operator may ‘clear’ the entry by pressing [DELETE] or
[BACKSPACE]. Using this combination will also clear a line of text prior to
typing.
As described above, while at the weld screen, in the editing/modifying
mode or, at any other screen, pressing [Esc] will abort changes.
Use the [Y] and [N] keys to confirm and accept, or decline and negate any
values in the highlighted field. They will also answer questions prompted
on the screen during the program.
The [Enter] or [Return] key, is used similarly as the [Y] and [N] keys. This
key will accept any values entered and those that are defaulted. When
answering questions, this key will perform the same functions as [N], thus
declining to change what the questions ask to change.
3.3 Cursor Keys
These four keys will help move through the entries during editing/modifying of
procedures or drop down menus or tabs.
While editing a weld procedure, the cursor keys [ ç, è, é and ê], will move
the cursor to the next available field for data entry or edit except in numeric
fields when [é,ê] increase/decrease numeric value.
3.4 Text, Symbol & Numeric Keys
There are sections of the ACL program that will require or request text,
symbols and/or numerals to be entered. This will range from a weld
procedure name (either to be saved or recalled) to a procedure description to
weld parameters.
Several keys have a single- or dual-function; depending on which part of the
ACL program screen is currently showing.
The text keys are only active when the cursor line lies within a text line.
For example: If the MAIN SCREEN is showing, and the operator is
attempting to save a procedure, the save procedure dialog box will show
and await the operator to type in a procedure name. At this time, all the
text and numeral keys are active.
