required, the operator could leave these lines blank if he chooses, they are
to help identify and describe each and every procedure. They will not affect
the operational ability or performance function of the weld procedure, but
they will show on all printouts.
Pressing [ENTER] will move the cursor box to the next line, top
to bottom, accepting either a blank line or the typed information.
Should one line contain more than the sixteen characters, the text will
automatically wrap and jump to the next lower line. Once all the lines
are filled, or entered and accepted, pressing [ENTER] once again will
change to the next screen.
2.9.2 Procedure Options Screen
This screen displays a list of enabled options that are unique to each and
every procedure. The options that appear in GREEN are the currently
selected options for the procedure being modified. Refer to the Option
Code table on the following page.
At the bottom of this screen under the list of options, is the question
“Change Options?” The operator may press either [YES] or [NO]:
pressing [NO] will advance the program to the next screen, pressing
[YES] will move the cursor to the top of the screen, and begin the
modification of this information.
As each option is displayed it is highlighted with a question mark
following. To enable that particular option press [YES], this will leave that
option highlighted in green. If that option is not enabled, by pressing
[NO], it will remain in RED.
Once all the applicable options have been enabled, the screen will show all
enabled options highlighted, again with the question at the bottom of the
screen “Change Options?”.
2.9.3 Procedure Pre-Purge Information Screen
This screen is used to enter and modify the pre- and post-weld parameters
for each weld procedure. These features include Pre-Purge gas time,
Flying Start values (time and speed of rotation), Strike Current value,
number and intensity of tacks, Start Position degree setting (only if the Start
Position option is enabled in the Procedure Options screen) and Post-Purge
gas time.
2.9.3.1 Pre-Purge Time
This is the amount of time that the purge gas will flow prior to starting the
welding arc. Valid values are from 0.02 to 300.00 seconds.
2.9.3.2 Flying Start
Pre-Motor Run Time
This is the amount of time the rotor will rotate prior to striking the arc,
also known as a “Flying Start”. This time value cannot be longer than
the Pre-Purge time, and the ACL program will prevent a higher value
from being entered.
A positive value will cause the rotor to slope up to the Pre-Motor Speed,
while a negative value will delay the rotor by the time value and then
cause it to proceed at the Pre-Motor Speed. Valid values are from 0.00
to 99.00 seconds.
Pre-Motor Run Speed
This speed is what the rotor is to run at before striking the arc. It is used
in conjunction with the Pre-Motor Run Time. If the Pre-Motor Run Time
is zero the Pre-Motor Run Speed is not available.
