Gas Test 1; Gas Test 2; 5.5.10 Inching; 5.5.11 Reverse Inching - EWM RINT X12 Operating Instructions Manual

Design and function
Standard signals for free actuation
5.5.8

Gas test 1

The signal permits the manual actuation of the gas valve, e.g. to rinse the gas line. The process shielding
gas is actuated in Tetrix / forceTig systems with plasma equipment.
X10/5
Signal not
active
Signal active Shielding gas valve is actuated.
With welding systems with a certain software version or later, the signal can be used to solely
control the process gas in the control signal mode. Siehe auch Kapitel „Inbetriebnahme / Wahl
der Prozesslogik / Leitsignalbetrieb"
5.5.9

Gas test 2

In Phoenix / alpha Q systems, the signal actuates a blow-out valve; in Tetrix / forceTig systems with
plasma equipment, it actuates the process plasma gas.
X10/6

5.5.10 Inching

The signal controls the wire inching mode selected on input X10/9.
X10/7
Signal not
active
Signal active Selected wire inching mode is carried out.
With Tetrix / forceTig systems without cold wire the signal has no function. With cold wire
systems, cold wire operation can be controlled solely with this signal provided that the system
uses a certain software version or later.

5.5.11 Reverse inching

The welding wire is reversely inched according to the inching mode selected using input X10/9. The same
time period applies for selecting the ramp function as for the inching process.
X10/10
Signal not
active
Signal
