O4 Automation interface
An automation interface is used if a coupling between the power source and external controls
(i.e. PLC control) is required. The following external signals can be received via automation
interface:
- Selection of a welding process
- analogue inputs for control of wire feed speed/capacity and voltage/arc length
- digital input for continuation of capacity 1, 2, 3 in operation mode Prog
- digital input for external Start and external Gas
The signals
- arc present
- collective fault
will be sent to external controls.
Accessories coding according to the following list is required!
Resistance values for coding of accessories (remote controller etc) to GLC 353/503/553 MC3.
For coding accessories to the power source a resistor must be instelled between +10V and the
inputs X7/C4 (remote controller socket on wire drive unit) or X15/B7 (peripheral socket).
In the case of the MC3/R a bridge is required beween X15/28 and X15/31.
It is recommended that the resistor is installed in the plug of the remote controller or the
connection cable of a higher voltage control so that the coding is only applicable if the relevant
unit is connected to the power source.
CAUTION ! If a remote controller and a higher voltage control (e.g. a robot) are simultaneously
connected, coding is only allowed on one of the two plugs.
Coding is carried out in steps of 1 Volt, the resistor to be installed represents the upper arm of
a voltage divider. The lower voltage divider is already provided in the control.
The following resistance values are used to set the corresponding voltage level:
