Connecting to the robot control
Connecting to the
robot control
Use one of the following configurations to connect the welding system to the robot con-
trol.
Refer to the operating instructions for the respective interface for instructions on con-
necting the welding system to the robot control.
Robot interfaces
for CMT Twin
There are two special robot interfaces for CMT Twin available for connecting to the robot
control:
- Twin Standard I/O Job (0-24 V digital)
- Twin Standard I/O Synergic / Job (0-24 V digital, 0-10 V analogue)
Each of these "Twin interfaces" features an integral programmable logic controller (PLC).
The signals are connected logically by the PLC. Both power sources are therefore trig-
gered simultaneously by a signal from the robot control. Only one "Twin interface" is re-
quired for two power sources. The "Twin interface" in installed in the switch cabinet.
Standard robot
interfaces
The following standard robot interfaces can be used to connect to the robot control for Twin
processes:
- ROB 3000 (0-24 V digital)
- ROB 4000 (0-24 V digital, 0-10 V analogue)
- ROB 5000 (0-24 V digital, 0-10 V analogue)
Signals must be connected logically by the robot control when standard robot interfaces
are used. Two identical robot interfaces are required for two power sources. The two stand-
ard robot interfaces are installed in the switch cabinet. Robot interfaces "1" and "2" are con-
nected to power sources "1" and "2" via LocalNet.
