Limit Monitoring - functions and activation
Functions of
Limit Monitoring
- Limit Monitoring monitors the welding parameters of the welding process.
- Limit Monitoring indicates whether the weld is performed within the predefined limit
values of the weld specification (= job set values).
- If Limit Monitoring determines that the actual values are outside the defined limits,
the weld seam should be checked.
• If the weld seam is OK in such a case, it is recommended to check the defined
limits and adjust them if necessary.
• If the weld seam is not OK in such a case, it is recommended to check the
welding parameters and adjust them if necessary.
- Limit Monitoring is only active in the main current phase
- Limit Monitoring is not active during the Slope- phases
- Limit Monitoring can only be used in conjunction with Job Mode
Limit Monitoring does not monitor the quality of the weld seam. As a result, Limit Monit-
oring does not provide any information on whether the weld seam is OK or not.
Limit Monitoring is available for the following processes:
- MIG/MAG standard synergic
- MIG/MAG pulse synergic
- MIG/MAG PMC
- MIG/MAG LSC
- CMT
It is not recommended to use Limit Monitoring for the following processes:
- MIG/MAG PMC Mix
- MIG/MAG LSC Mix
- CMT Cycle Step
- SynchroPulse welding with
- MIG/MAG standard synergic
- MIG/MAG pulse synergic
- MIG/MAG PMC
- MIG/MAG LSC
Available func-
tion packages
OPT/i Limit Monitoring (= required), 4,067,004
Among other things, to monitor:
- Voltage
- Current
- Wire speed
- Welding time
- Energy
OPT/i Jobs (= optional), 4,067,002
- Enables remote access (for example from a PC) to the power source (Smart Man-
ager). For example, the limit values of job parameters can be changed via the Smart
Manager; directly from the PC, without having to implement the setting at the power
source itself
OPT/i Documentation (= optional), 4,067,003
- Is used to export the welding data stored in the power source as a CSV file, in addi-
tion to the export as a PDF file available by default
- Enables the use of FroniusDataChannel, which is used for the exchange of Traceab-
ilitydata
