Motor current M3
(Motor current
M3) - Group Out-
put / Analog Out-
put
Motor current M3 is the motor current of the rear motor in the welding system (unwinding
wirefeeder, etc.). As described below, the present motor current actual value M3 can be
output on a Digital Interface or an Analog Interface.
Digital Interface:
During the welding process, the present motor current actual value will be output as a
value between 0 and 65,535 (UINT 16).
Value range Designation Min./max. possible value
0 Motor current 0 A (actual value)
+327.67 Motor current 327.67 A (actual value)
Additional information for TWIN systems:
The digital actual value is output separately for both power sources.
Analog Interface:
During the welding process, the present motor current actual value will be output as a
value between 0 - 10 V.
Value range Designation Min./max. possible value
0 V Motor current 0 A (actual value)
10 V Motor current 10 A (actual value)
Additional information for TWIN systems:
The analog actual value is not output on TWIN systems.
Error number
(Error number) -
Group Output /
Analog Output
This signal indicates the current error number on the power source and the robot control-
ler.
Additional information for TWIN systems:
The signal is output separately for both process lines.
Warning number
(Warning num-
ber) - Group Out-
put / Analog Out-
put
This signal indicates the current warning number on the power source and the robot con-
troller.
Additional information for TWIN systems:
The signal is output separately for both process lines.
WireSense posi-
tion (wire posi-
tion) - Group Out-
put / Analog Out-
put
This signal indicates:
1. How high the edge found in WireSense - Edge Detection mode was
1. See also description WireSense edge detection - Group Input / Analog Input
on page 22
2. The current value of the height measurement in WireSense - Sensing Mode
2. See also description WireSense start - Single Bit on page 18
The wire electrode can move forward and backward to the first detected zero position
(reference point) by a maximum of 24 mm.
