| 1. More important uses in short * For up to 744 welding programs and for networking with a PC and other controllers * Universally suited to all common welding processes e.g. o GMAW Soldering as well as spray, short and pulse arc welding, specifically modified impulses o Double wire o PlasmaTIG, GTAW pilot * Standard applications o Creating, organizing and processing of welding programs as well as recording, documenting and analyzing measured values and welding results o Process monitoring o Load, monitor and manage parameters via the PC o Enter additional information with the Q8Tool PC software * Special applications o Program selection/changeover via angle transmitters o Double wire welding o Control two wire feeders for one power source o An analog output program for controlling an external axis 2. A brief look at some special features and advantages * Variety of welding programs and logical structure in four groups with 31 part numbers (e.g. components) in each case and six programs each (e.g. welding seam classes) * Contains customer/user specific selected and configured basic settings (e.g. according to common processes or materials) that the user can adapt to individual conditions * Documenting and reproducing welding programs (welding seam class for each component), e.g. as a basis for certification * As many programs as desired available on-line over a PC network * Programs can be optimized locally via process control or PC * Data backup of process control in the PC or system server * Memory of measured values recorded during welding, which automatically generate notes and alarm-messages for both the operators and the installation * All welding programs contain special monitoring parameters with assignable limit value set reactions * Storing of program modifications made by the operator * Interlinked parameters change simultaneously in the display (button operation); this interlinking is handled with specific settings * Alarm-messages traceable even after emergency stop * Nine operating languages selectable by pushing a button 3. Technical Characteristics Overview * SPW field bus nodes with T-branch for Q8p control looped through * Ethernet interface for networking galvanically separated on rear * USB Slave interface for service PC galvanically separated on rear * Synchronization interface for multi-process welding installations * All component assemblies, e.g. interface, wire feeder and power source in accordance with SPW 93 and SPW 99 standard * Extension component assemblies for external displays according to SPW 9x standard * Axis control for positioning unit according to SPWx standard |
