Page 10: Machine Description - Quick Overview
The interface is intended for operation on digital power sources in the Phoenix / alpha Q (MIG/MAG) and Tetrix / forceTig (WIG) machine series. The same RINT X12 can be used for both power sources. To change from a Phoenix / alpha Q to a Tetrix / forceTig -based welding system, it is merely necessary to change the configuration. -
Page 11: Design And Function
5.1.1 The system bus The RINT X12 is integrated into the Phoenix / alpha Q and Tetrix / forceTig welding system using a digital system bus. Different connection types are available depending on the installation method for the control: Figure 5-1... -

Page 13: Main Control Signal Standardisation
0 to nominal system current (factory setting) The nominal system current comes from the type designation and is automatically detected by the RINT X12 when the system is switched on. 5.2.4 Selecting the JOB counting method The counting method for welding characteristics (JOBs) usually is 1 to 255. The values are stored in an 8 bit field so that, in general, 256 JOBs can be selected. -

(main switch). With the EWM Config Tool the function of the signal can be changed so that the RINT X12 is completely neutralised when the signal is stopped, i.e. all prioritisations of control signals are stopped, for example. -
Page 15: Operating Modes
The factory settings are such that JP9 and JP10 are not set. 5.3.5 Pulse process With the JP11 jumper, a pulse process can be pre-defined on the RINT X12. Alternatively, the signal can also be actuated by an external signal: JP11 Operating mode Standard welding is active. -
Page 16: Special Signals
The relais are used for process signals Signal not active The relais are used for process monitoring This configuration does affect the RINT X12 Phoenix / alpha Q only. 5.4.2 Advanced JOB mode With jumper 13 the so-called advanced JOB mode is activated. In this mode, the information for operating mode and welding type is no longer taken from the X5/3, X5/4 and X5/5 signals but from the information relating to the respective welding program. -

Page 20: Job Mode
JOBs. Each power source can store up to 256 of these JOBs. A JOB defines the welding characteristics. JOBs can be selected using two signal groups on the RINT X12. 5.6.1 Enabling JOB selection To enable the JOB selection, the selection option must first be enabled via this signal. -
Page 21: Chosing The Process Logic
Chosing the process logic Chosing the process logic The respective welding characteristic curve is set via job control. For setting of working points the RINT X12 offers two different possibilities for control. 5.7.1 Program operation Every job contains 15 different working points, whichcan be directly set via four digital signals. The parameters of the working points can be modified with a control panel or more comfortable by using the parameter software PC300.NET. -
Page 22: Control Signal Operation
Control signal operation Contrary to the program operation mode the respective process parameter will not be stored in the power source but directly fed to the RINT X12. With this method control data storage is passed to the upper controller. - Page 23 With the previous RINT X11 control, it was necessary to activate the signal for control signal mode and select program number 0. With RINT X12, it is no longer necessary to additionally select program 0.
-
Page 24: Advanced Control Signal Operation
Control signal operation has been improved in comparison to RINT X11. Advanced control signal operation is activated automatically once a specific software version is available in the power source. In addition to main current and cold wire, the RINT X12 also has 3 more control voltages for parameterising pulse modes. -

Page 32: Signals For Matching With The Positioning Device
Design and function Signals for matching with the positioning device 5.11 Signals for matching with the positioning device Experience has shown that the signal matching between the welding power source and the positioning device is very important. If interference occurs suddenly due to a loss of signal (e.g. arc interruption), or if intermittent signals occur, the positioning device can itself enter an error status condition. -

Design and function Signals for matching with the positioning device 5.11.3 Arc interruption time: TZ-LIBO For the work process it is desirable that the process runs without interference. However, in poor conditions it is likely that welding interference will occur, and this results in intermittent signals for the duration of the process. -
