2.17.6 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.
2.17.7 Motor Speed Abort (Abort Tolerance)
These are limits (tolerances) set on the high and low motor speed values of
the weld procedure. The abort limits are set as a percentage of the actual
demand value along with an amount of time allowed for the motor speed to
exceed the limit. Typically these abort limits are greater than those of the
motor speed limits, thus extending or allowing more of a deviation before
aborting the weld.
Should the motor speed and time feedback from the motor tachometer
feedback exceed the abort limit, the weld will automatically abort and
an abort deviation will be logged and printed, if the procedure is
programmed to do so.
3. Hand Held Control (HHC) Operation
3.1 Menu Buttons
Across the top of the HHC keypad, there are separate buttons for each of the
MENUs in the ACL. Pressing the corresponding button on the HHC, or on the
factory supplied computer keyboard can bring each MENU forward.
Using the HHC, to access the “MAIN MENU”, the “PRINT MENU” and the
“LOG MENU”, press one of the blue buttons across the top of the HHC.
Using the keyboard, press the corresponding button that matches the
requested MENU, as seen at the bottom of each of the MENU screens.
The MAIN MENU can be accessed by pressing either [MAIN MENU] at the
top, or [ESCAPE] at the bottom of the HHC.
3.2 Welding Function Control Buttons
These are the buttons that control the welding program operations prior to
and during welding or testing, and during weld procedure editing/modifying.
The red [START/STOP] button first starts the program. If pressed a second
time, it will stop the program.
The [FINAL SLOPE/HOME] button in orange, if pressed during the welding
or testing of the welding program, will skip all levels and initiate the final
slope. If pressed at any time, the rotor will move (jog) to its home position
at the high calibration speed value. If the rotor is already at home position,
the rotor will then backup several degrees, then forward again to home.
If using a Degree procedure, pressing the [FINAL SLOPE/HOME] button
will immediately start this level and will not finish until it reaches the
programmed end.
The [NEXT LEVEL/GAS] button in orange, if pressed during the welding or
testing of the welding program, will jump from its current program level to
the next program level. Subsequent pressing of this button will continue to
jump to the next levels of the program.
If using a Degree procedure, pressing the [FINAL SLOPE/HOME] button
will immediately start this level and will not finish until it reaches the
programmed end.
If pressed at any other time, the gas function is enabled: if pressed once,
the gas will ‘flow’ (assuming the inert gas supply and the weldhead gas
lines are connected to the ACL), if pressed again the ‘flow’ of gas will stop.
