Behavior of the

Power Source

when an Interface

is Connected

If a power source from the TPS/i series is connected to a robot interface, the settings on

the power source remain unchanged (2-step mode, special 2-step mode, etc.).

If a power source from the TPS series is connected to a robot interface, the power

source automatically selects 2-step mode.

Digital Inputs

Welding start

(Welding on) -

Single Bit

The rising edge of the Welding start signal starts the welding process.

- The welding process runs for as long as the Welding start signal is active.

Exceptions: The Robot ready signal is deactivated or the power source is reporting

an error (for example: overtemperature, too little coolant, etc.).

- The Welding start signal can be activated independently of the operating mode

(internal parameter selection, special 2-step mode characteristics, Job Mode, etc.).

- Touch mode cannot be activated as long as the Welding start signal remains set.

Additional information for TWIN systems:

- In single wire mode, the welding process is started on the active power source

- In TWIN mode, the welding process is started on both power sources

Robot ready

(Robot ready) -

Single Bit

The robot sets this signal as soon as it is ready to weld.

- If the signal is reset by the robot during welding, the welding process is ended in a

controlled manner (without any crater filling routines).

- In addition, the Robot not ready error is output. This error must either be reset on the

power source control panel or using the robot interface.

- It is still possible to specify the set values in the internal parameter selection operat-

ing mode, even if the Robot ready signal is not set.

Working mode

(Operating mode)

- Single Bit

This signal is used to select the operating mode of the power source.

Value range for operating mode:

Bit 4

Bit 3

Bit 2

Bit 1

Bit 0

Description

0 0 0 0 0 Internal parameter selection

0 0 0 0 1 Special 2-step mode characteristics

0 0 0 1 0 Job mode

0 1 0 0 0 2-step mode characteristics

Description of internal parameter selection:

- The control panel or a remote control can be used to specify all the set values and

material settings important for welding. This makes creating and saving jobs easy.

- The robot outputs all other signals.

- These values can also be specified during welding.

Internal parameter selection can be used to select:

- 4-step mode

- Special 4-step mode

- Electrode

- TIG

EN-US

Description of special 2-step mode characteristics:

- To select welding parameters using the analog set values and the characteristic

number (characteristic ID), the correct characteristic number must be used. The

characteristic numbers can be found on the website of the power source, in the

characteristics overview.

- The welding process is also defined using the characteristic number (MIG/MAG

standard synergic, MIG/MAG pulse synergic, MIG/MAG LSC, MIG/MAG PMC,

MIG/MAG CMT, etc.).

- Only characteristics that have previously been approved for the power source can

be selected.

- The parameters from the start of welding/end of welding are used in the special 2-

step mode characteristics.

Special 2-step mode signal sequence

Description of Job Mode:

- The welding parameters are selected using the data saved in the jobs.

- The EasyJob function is deactivated as soon as a CC module (an RI IO/i or a RI IO

PRO/i) is connected.

- There is no job with the number 0. Job number 0 can be used to select the job on

the control panel of the power source.

Description of 2-step mode characteristics:

- To select the welding parameters via the analog set values and the characteristic

number (characteristic ID), the correct characteristic number must be used. The

characteristic numbers can be found on the website for the power source, in the

characteristics overview.

- The welding process is also defined using the characteristic ID (MIG/MAG standard

synergic, MIG/MAG pulse synergic, MIG/MAG LSC, MIG/MAG PMC, MIG/MAG

CMT, etc.).

- Only characteristics that have previously been approved for the power source can

be selected.

GPr GPoMain current

HIGH LOW

Welding start

2-step mode signal sequence

For MIG/MAG standard manual characteristics, the 2-step mode characteristics must be

used.

Gas on (Gas on) -

Single Bit

The Gas on signal opens the gas solenoid valve and thus activates the gas flow.

- As long as the signal is High, the gas solenoid valve remains open.

- The gas flow can be activated independently of the operating mode (internal para-

meter selection, special 2-step mode characteristics, Job Mode, etc.).

- During welding, the gas pre-flow and the gas post-flow are controlled by the power

source. It is therefore not necessary to activate the gas pre-flow and gas post-flow

separately.

- If the Gas on High signal is set before the Welding start signal, the gas pre-flow of

the power source is not active.

- The Gas on signal can only be set if the Robot ready signal is set at the same time.

If this is not the case, the gas flow must be activated by pressing a button on one of

the Fronius system components (power source, wirefeeder, torch hosepack, etc.).

Additional information for TWIN systems:

- In single wire mode with a Single-torch body, the gas solenoid valve of the active

process line is opened

- In TWIN mode, both gas solenoid valves are opened

- When welding with a TWIN torch body, both gas solenoid valves are always opened

Wire forward

(Wire forwards) -

Single Bit

The Wire forward signal activates the start of the wirefeeder.

- The wire electrode is threaded into the hosepack without current or gas.

- The wirefeeder can be activated independently of the operating mode (internal para-

meter selection, special 2-step mode characteristics, Job Mode, etc.).

- The signal corresponds to the wire threading button on the control panel of the

power source, on the wirefeeder, and on the torch hosepack. The precise function of

the wire threading button is described in the Operating Instructions of the respective

system components/the documentation of the whole welding system.

- As long as the Wire forward signal is set, the Wire backward signal cannot be set.

- The Wire forward signal can only be set if the Robot ready signal is set at the same

time. If this is not the case, wire threading must be controlled using the wire thread-

ing button on one of the Fronius system components (wirefeeder, torch hosepack,

etc.)

- The wire electrode can be threaded a maximum of 50 m (164 feet 0.5 inches)

(=safety stop)

EN-US

The signal can be set in two ways:

- Pulse signal = wire electrode moves approx. 1 mm forwards

- Continuous signal = creep function – the wirefeeder is stopped as soon as the wire

electrode touches the welding material

Additional information for TWIN systems:

- In single wire mode, the wire electrode of the active process line is fed

- In TWIN mode, both wire electrodes are fed

- If the TWIN operating mode changes during wirefeeding, the wirefeeding is adapted

in line with the change

Wire backward

(Wire return) -

Single Bit

The Wire backward signal activates the retraction of the wire electrode.

- It can be used to retract the wire electrode out of the welding torch completely or

only by a specific length.

- The retraction can be activated independently of the operating mode (internal para-

meter selection, special 2-step mode characteristics, Job Mode, etc.).

- The signal corresponds to the wire-return button on the control panel of the power

source, on the wirefeeder, and on the torch hosepack. The precise function of the

wire-return button is described in the Operating Instructions of the respective system

components/the documentation of the whole welding system.

- As long as the Wire backward signal is set, the Wire forward signal cannot be set.

- The Wire backward signal can only be set if the Robot ready signal is set at the

same time. If this is not the case, retraction of the wire electrode must be controlled

using the wire-return button on one of the Fronius system components (wirefeeder,

torch hosepack, etc.)

- The wire electrode can be retracted a maximum of 50 m (164 feet 0.5 inches)

(=safety stop)

The signal can be set in two ways:

- Pulse signal = wire moves approx. 1 mm backwards

- Continuous signal = permanent wire retraction

Additional information for TWIN systems:

- In single wire mode, the wire electrode of the active process line is fed

- In TWIN mode, both wire electrodes are fed

- If the TWIN operating mode changes during wirefeeding, the wirefeeding is adapted

in line with the change

Error reset (Reset

error)

If an error message is output on the power source, the error is reset using the Error reset

signal.

In order to reset the signal successfully, the signal must remain set for at least 10 ms.

WARNING!

Danger due to welding processes starting unexpectedly.

This can result in severe personal injury and damage to property.

▶The cause of the error must always be resolved before the error message is reset

using the Error reset signal.
