The arc to arc phase relationship is determined by the
timing of each arcʼs "sync" signal relative to the "sync"
signal of ARC 1. DIP Switches on the in each machine
must be set to identify it as a Master Lead, Master
Trail or Slave. See Figure A.4
In a typical multi-arc system, each arc is controlled by
its own MAXsa™ 10 Controller. The basic
characteristics of the individual arcs such as WFS,
amplitude, and offset are set locally by each arcʼs
dedicated controller. The frequency, balance, and
phase shift parameters of each arc are controlled by
the MAXsa™ 10 Controller for ARC 1 (Master Lead).
NOTE: The K2803-1 Power Wave
is backwards compatible with the K2344-2
Power Wave AC/DC 1000 in tandem or multi-
®
arc systems. The K2803-1 and K2344-2
machines cannot be connected in parallel.
Paralleled machines must be of the same
type. A K1805-1 (14 to 22 pin adapter cable) is
required to interface to the K2282-1 Systems
Interface in these setups
INSTALLATION
A PLC interface is an alternate method of control for
larger systems. The PLC is typically connected via
DeviceNet directly to the Master power source of each
arc group in the system. MAXsa™ 19 Controller is
still required to power the Wire Drive. Contact your
Local Lincoln Electric Representative for more infor-
mation.
The connection diagrams describe the layout of sever-
al typical systems including Multi-Arc and Paralleled
machine set-ups. Each system also has a step by
step "Installation Checklist".
