4.1 Miller HMI

Auto-Axcess
The has 8 program locations for different process settings.
The process can be changed between welds or even during welding by
setting I/O commands in the robot program to select a different program.
There are 3 outputs from the robot to the welder for selecting schedules.
These outputs should be labeled in the output display and programming
instructions are provided in this manual.
Auto-Axcess
The functions in exactly the same manor, but signals are
addressed to a DeviceNet board inside the DX100. The settings in the
Welder Condition file are still necessary to convert the INFORM settings to
a 16 bit Mregister in the CIO. AutoCal is not necessary (and is not
Auto-Axcess
available) on the
as exact numbers.
Do not exchange Welder Condition Files (WELDER.DAT) or concurrent
I/O programs (CIO.LST) between robots that have analog and digital
interfaces. These files are different and will cause improper operation.
Arc Start Files and Arc End Files can be transferred between robots
regardless of digital or analog interface.
Miller HMI
Auto-Axcess
The key feature of the
functions from the DX100 pendant. This is performed with a Motoman
pendant application called the Miller HMI. When this button is pushed on
the pendant, it starts an application which takes over the pendant display.
This application provides much of the functionality of the Miller File
Manager software used with a Palm PDA. The
User Interface display. This allows users to change processes from the
welder or confirm weld settings on the LED meter display.
Most of the pendant application is used for set-up functions. Most of the
functionality is only available in TEACH mode to ensure signals are not
passed while the power source is welding. There is Management
password protection to allow administrators to determine if they want to
allow operators access to change program information in the power
source. They can initiate edit lock on the welder to keep operators from
being able to make program changes from the welders.
.
The pendant application allows users to set functions for
start power and crater fill in the power source. Motoman
recommends that these functions be set in arc start files or
NOTE
enhanced arc start files. The settings in the welder are not
synchronized with robot motion and adverse welding
conditions could be created.
