6 Miller Auto-Axcess E Digital
6.2 MACRO Job Settings
Use this macro to signal the start of a new part. It starts the cycle timers
within the welder and allows identification of the "Part ID" that's going to
be welded. It also allows specification "Weld ID" which tells the welder
what weld is being made next allowing out of sequence part processing.
The last two settings allow the enabling or disabling of various weld errors.
• Welder Number: Allows specification of the desired welder.
Allowable values are 1 to 4.
• Part ID: Identifies the "Part ID" of the upcoming part. The "Part ID"
specified must be configured within the CenterPoint application with
the appropriate number of welds and limits before being able to
process the part and receive valid data regarding the result of the
part following processing.
• Weld ID: The "Weld ID" settings allow specification of the upcoming
weld. It allows a user to identify the weld before making it. An
"Automatic Increment" function allows setting the "Weld ID" equal to
"0" which will cause the welder to start at "Weld ID" number 1 and
automatically increment the count without further intervention.
• Enable Weld Errs: This setting controls how the robot responds to
individual welds which are outside of the predetermined acceptable
window of operation.
– Enable Weld Errs = 1: will cause the robot to alarm following
every weld that is outside of the acceptable limits. This occurs at the
end of the weld and will cause an interruption in welding of other
robots if they happen to welding at the same time.
– Enable Weld Errs = 0: will cause the robot to continue on its
programmed path following the completion of a "bad" weld. There
will be no interruption in the processing of the part.
• Enable Part Errs: This setting controls how the robot responds to a
"Part" which is determined to be outside of the predetermined
acceptable limits. A part error will be generated if any of the
individual welds were outside of their specified limits, if the number of
welds did not match the predetermined
– Enable Part Errs = 1: will cause the robot to alarm following the
completion of the part during which any of the individual welds or the
number of welds did not match the predetermined number of welds
specified within initial setup
– Enable Part Errs = 0: will allow the robot to continue without
alarming even if the part is flagged with an error.
