Design and function

JOB mode

5.6 JOB mode
The digital power sources of the Phoenix / alpha Q and Tetrix / forceTig series manage a multitude of
process parameters stored in a so-called JOB database. In addition to operational settings the welding
characteristics themselves are managed in individual 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

To enable the JOB selection, the selection option must first be enabled via this signal.
X9/11

Signal active JOB selection is carried out via RINT X12
This signal can be permanently configured using jumper JP12.
5.6.2

JOB selection

For JOB number preselection, inputs X9/3 to X9/10 are used. Depending on the configuration of JP3 this
enables the selection of 255 or 256 JOBs. When configuring the possibility to select 256 JOBs, please
observe that the logical display at system machines is different from the activation signal (by factor 1).
With Multimatrix machines, advanced JOB selection is possible by setting the bit with the value 256 using
the additional signal X9/12.
JOBs can only be switched during welding pauses. The switching process takes approx. 200 ms.
Not all JOBs are available in the advanced JOB selection. If such a JOB is selected a warning
message is issued to the system.
