Fronius MIG/MAG - Wiresense - Contour Detection

WireSense - con-
tour detection
- WireSense contour detection is active when WireSense edge detection = OFF or < 0.5
mm.
- The touch signal is not active.
- The WireSense Position signal provides the actual height values (live values).
- The additional WireSense Break signal stops the forward movement of the wire elec-
trode and stores the zero reference value
(The zero reference value is useful for overcoming the distance to the component
without wirefeeding if the reference value is not set directly on the component).
Signal sequence overview
1. For contour detection, WireSense edge detection must be disabled
(WireSense Edge Detection = OFF or < 0.5 mm)
2. Signal from the robot to start or stop contour detection
(WireSense Start)
3. Signal from the power source for detected short circuit after contact
(ArcStable)
4. When contour detection is active, no touch signal is output from the power source
(no touch signal)
5. When contour detection is active, the WireSense Position signal always transmits the
current position of the wire electrode (live values)
(WireSense Position)
NOTE!
Detailed information on the signals can be found in the "Signal descriptions for TPS/
i interface" (42.0426.0227.xx) Operating Instructions.
