Channel Wps - Kemppi Smart Reader Operating Manual

WELDEYE
The measured welding current and voltage are displayed on the screen as large text (A), and the
WPS parameter limits as smaller text (B).
Color codes:
• Green: OK, measured value well within the WPS limits.
• Yellow: Warning, measured value near WPS limits.
• Red: Alert, measured value outside limits.
• White: WPS is not identified, only the measured values are shown with no indication of
whether they are correct.
There is a short grace period ("reaction time"), usually a few seconds, before the color changes.
This makes the display easier to read and enables the monitoring the overall welding quality.

5.3 Channel WPS

Channel WPS is a feature that can be used with Kemppi welding machines only (FastMig family).
Channel WPS is enabled in the Smart Reader's settings for each Smart Reader/welding machine
separately.
Channel WPS enables mapping the welding machine's memory channels to welding procedures.
When the feature is enabled, Smart Reader automatically associates WPS information with welds
based on the selected memory channel. By using the feature, WPS reading is automated, and the
welder can work more effectively. The feature fits best to simple welding where the number of
WPSes is small. A typical use case for the feature is when the welding job requires welding over
corner so that the welding parameters and thus WPS needs to change on the fly without shutting
down the arc at any point.
Channel WPS also supports the MatchLog features. In FastMig pulse and FastMig X, the welder
is able to switch the memory channel on the fly using the MatchChannel feature. In FastMig KMS
and FastMig M, the welder is able to toggle the MiniLog feature during the welding. In both
cases, Smart Reader automatically divides the weld into sections based on the memory channel
