Fronius MIG/MAG - Wiresense - Edge Detection

62
WireSense - edge
detection
- The WireSense edge detection is activated and an edge height between 0.5 and 20
mm is selected.
- The touch signal is output when the defined edge height is detected. In this way the
position of the edge can be recorded.
- The WireSense Position signal indicates the height of the edge.
- The air gap detection can also be calculated based on the height value.
Signal sequence overview
1. The robot sets the minimum edge height from which the edge detection is triggered
(WireSense Edge Detection)
2. Signal from robot to start or stop WireSense
(WireSense Start)
3. Signal from the power source for detected short circuit after contact
(ArcStable)
4. Signal from the power source for the detected edge position
(Touch signal)
5. Signal from the power source for edge height measurement
(WireSense Position)
NOTE!
Detailed information on the signals can be found in the "Signal descriptions for TPS/
