Fig. 6-9: Below voltage, over wirefeed speed, below duration Weld Error
Example
Based on the "Enable Part Errs" setting made in the "MILLER-PART-
START" macro, the robot can stop production with an user alarm if one of
the welds or the part processing chracteristics is outside of the predefined
limits. Part errors are presented at the completion of a part which is
specified with the "MILLER-END-PART" instruction being issues in the
job. Once the "MILLER-END-PART" instruction is executed for the
particular welder, the robot's system job builds a "dynamic" alarm based
on what parameters the welder detects as being out of limit. The system
job build-up this alarm and presents it to the operator and logs the alarm in
the alarm history. Below are the possible contents of the "dynamic" alarm:
• ALARM 8*98: Part Err:*
– Missed Wld(s): Indicates that the part just completed had one
or more missing welds
– Proc Flt(s): Indicates that one or more of the welds in the just
completed part had one or more welds outside of the predetermined
limits
– Time Flt(s): Indicates that one or more of the time
characteristics being monitored by the welder was outside of its
acceptable range
– Wld Cnt Flt(s): Indicates that the number of welds completed on
the last part did not match the number of expected welds for the part
type specified.
– Clamp Time Flt: The amount of part processing time was
longer or shorter than the acceptable limit specified within the
"CenterPoint" application.
– Arc Time Flt: The amount of actual arc welding time monitored
during the duration of the last part exceeds or is below the allowable
limit set within the "CenterPoint" application.
