Fronius TPS 4000 - Other Signals for TIG Welding; Cold Wire and External Box Signals

52
Other signals used for TIG welding
Cold wire disable The “KD disable” signal facilitates the changeover from internal to external control of the
cold-wire feed unit:
- “KD disable“ not set = “KD enable“:
Internal control of the cold-wire feed unit via the power source
- “KD disable“ set:
External control of the cold-wire feed unit via the robot interface
External or internal control of the cold-wire feed unit affects the following functions:
- Wire feed
- Wire retract
External box If option 4,101,039 “I-set TIG interference suppression external box“ is installed on the in-
terface (external box), a cold-wire feeder must not be connected to the LocalNet sockets
of the interface.
Instead, a cold-wire feeder must be connected directly to the TIG power source via a pas-
sive distributor, to ensure trouble-free operation.
