Internal/external adjustment of selected parameters
General Using the RCU 5000i remote control unit, the selected parameters can be set as follows:
- internally on the remote control
- externally, e.g. on the wire-feed unit, power source, other remote controls, robot con-
trol, etc.
If the system has an external operating facility, the relevant parameters are automatically
set to external parameter entry, e.g.:
in the case of a connected wire-feed unit, the value for the "Wirefeed speed" parameter
must be set on the wire-feed unit. If the parameter value is to be set on the RCU 5000i re-
mote control unit, the "wirefeed speed" parameter must be converted to internal parameter
entry.
Setting parame-
ters internally/ex-
ternally
In the corresponding "Data" screen, press F5 "Int/Ext"
– The remote control unit converts to the desired parameter entry:
The user can switch between internal and external parameter entry in the following menu
items:
- MIG/MAG synergic welding - CC/CV mode
- MIG/MAG standard manual welding - Job welding
- MMA welding - Optimizing & managing jobs
- TIG welding
Internal parameter entry (Int): External parameter entry (Ext):
The parameters to be set are entered and
altered on the RCU 5000i remote control
unit.
The selected parameter is shown with a
black bar with a "window" for the parameter
value. The parameter value in the "window"
can be changed.
The parameters to be set are entered and
altered at the power source, wirefeeder or
via a robot control.
The selected parameter is shown with a
continuous black bar on the remote control
unit display. With external parameter entry,
the parameter value cannot be altered on
the remote control unit.
Example of internal parameter entry: black bar with
"window" - Arc length correction selected
Example of external parameter entry: continuous black
bar - Arc length correction selected
