Signals for robot
welding
(continued)
Power source ready
The “Power source ready” signal remains on as long as PlasmaModule 10 is ready to
weld.
Welding current real value
Via the „Welding current real value“ signal, the actual plasma gas value is indicated by a
voltage of 0 - 10 V on the analog output.
For further information about the signals, refer to the relevant operating instructions for
the robot interface.
