Installation and Commissioning

ArcWare 3.1Wire burnback and rollbackThese are functions used to prevent the welding wire sticking to the work object.Fine adjustment during program executionThe welding speed, wire feed rate, voltage and weaving can all be adjusted whilstwelding is in progress. This makes trimming of the process much easier because theresult can be seen immediately on the current weld. This can be done in both manualand automatic mode.Weld GuidingWeld guiding can be implemented using a number of different types of sensors. Pleasecontact your nearest ABB Flexible Automation Centre for more information.Interface signalsThe following process signals are, if installed, handled automatically by ArcWare. Therobot can also support dedicated signals for workpiece manipulators and sensors.Digital outputsPower on/offGas on/offWire feed on/offWire feed directionWeld errorError informationWeld program numberDigital inputsArc OKVoltage OKCurrent OKWater OKGas OKWire feed OKManual wire feedWeld inhibitWeave inhibitStop processWirestick errorSupervision inhibitTorch collisionAnalog outputsVoltageWire feedCurrentVoltage adjustmentCurrent adjustmentDescriptionTurns weld on or offTurns gas on or offTurns wire feed on or offFeeds wire forward/backwardWeld errorDigital outputs for error identificationParallel port for selection of program number, or3-bit pulse port for selection of program number, orSerial CAN/Devicenet communicationDescriptionArc established; starts weld motionWeld voltage supervisionWeld current supervisionWater supply supervisionGas supply supervisionWire supply supervisionManual command for wire feedBlocks the welding processBlocks the weaving processStops/inhibits execution of arc welding instructionsWirestick supervisionProgram execution without supervisionTorch collision supervisionDescriptionWeld voltageVelocity of wire feedWeld currentVoltage synergic line amplificationCurrent synergic line amplification30 Product Specification RobotWare for BaseWare OS 3.1
