Status Word 3
Status Word 3 defines two Bytes included between bits 0-7 and bits 8-15 to communicate
the technological parameters necessary to manage an electric gun, such as electrode
closing force (WELD FORCE) and the thickness of the part to be welded (ELEMENT
THICKNESS).

Bit Signal Function
0/7 Weld Force
With this byte the control communicates the value of
the electrode force defined in the welding programme.
It is a parameter that replaces the analog signal for
application of the proportional servovalve.
The field of regulation of the force is between 0-1275
daN (one bit is the equivalent of 5daN).
8/15 Element
Thickness
With this byte the control communicates the element
thickness defined via WMS and assigned to the
welding spot.
The field of regulation of the thickness is between 0-
12.75 mm (one bit is the equivalent of 0.05mm).
This parameter is located in the WMS, in the User
Parameters area of the welding programme.
Please see the WMS programming manual.
