Note: The Miller TIG welding power supplies are available with a special 28-pin connectors, this permits
easy communication between the 9700T and the power supply. Power supplies from other manufacturers
can be used. Various remote interfaces for different power sources are available-consult the Miller Welding
Automation factory for best fit regarding your application and power source model.
In this case the carriage drive motor is connected to, and controlled by the 9700T control which also is
connected to a Miller power supply.
Travel Addition
In addition to being interconnected with the welding power supply, the 9700T control can also be
interconnected with a Miller Welding Automation wire feeder. All Miller Welding Automation wire feeders
use a 9700W series control giving them complete compatibility with the 9700T.
When the 9700T carriage control is connected to the 9700W wire feeder control, the 9700T acts as the
primary control and the 9700W acts as the secondary unit. This means that the complete weld sequence
can be initiated by pressing the start button on the 9700T control. The weld and travel sequence will be
automatically started and, at the same time, a signal will be sent to the 9700W wire feeder control to
initiate the wire feed start sequence.
When the stop signal is given, either by pressing the stop button on the 9700T control or by this control
receiving a limit switch or encoder end of travel signal, the stop sequence set in the 9700W wire feeder
control will also be automatically initiated.
