  • Page 3: Read This First

    Read and understand the instruction manual before installing or operating. CAUTION! STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage circuit boards and electronic components. • Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices. • Use proper static-proof bags and boxes. 0740 800 202 - 3 - © ESAB AB 2018...
  • Page 4: Introduction

    The wire feed unit is intended for MIG/MAG welding along with robotic equipment. NOTE! The wire feed unit utilizes the robot's safety system to obtain maximum interference protection. Example of a robotic welding system 0740 800 202 - 4 - © ESAB AB 2018...

  • Page 9: Description Of Operation

    DC supplies The diodes D13 - D16 rectify the 42 V AC supply. The rectified voltage is used to power the wire feed motor(s). It also powers the switched voltage regulator. 0740 800 202 - 9 - © ESAB AB 2018...
  • Page 10: 13Ap1:2A Start / Stop

    The Start and Stop commands come from the robot, via the CAN bus. Terminals E1 and E2 are intended for Start / Stop signal from a manual welding torch, this is not used by the FeedControl. 0740 800 202 - 10 - © ESAB AB 2018...

    The gas valve is controlled by the microprocessor. In normal operation the gas valve opens when the start signal is activated by the robot. The gas valve can also be opened by a separate signal from the robot. 0740 800 202 - 11 - © ESAB AB 2018...
  • Page 12: 13Ap1:4 Motor Driving / Braking

    Wire feed is stopped if the feed speed deviates from the set speed by more than 1.5 m/min for more than 5.1 seconds. The control panel displays fault code 11. 0740 800 202 - 12 - © ESAB AB 2018...

  • Page 20: Fault Codes

    The wire feed speed differs from the set value by more than 1.5 m/min for more than 3 seconds. This fault stops the wire feed. After a period of 5 seconds, restart is permitted. 0740 800 202 - 20 - © ESAB AB 2018...
  • Page 21 Stack overflow The program execution does not work. This fault should never occur in reality: the fault code is intended as an aid during development work. Contact ESAB if the fault does occur. No gas flow Gas flow is too low.

    Overall, handling of ESD-sensitive devices should be minimized to prevent damage. Service aid ESAB can offer a number of service tools that will simplify the service. Antistatic service kit Ordering no. 0740 511 001 The kit makes it easier to protect sensitive components from electrostatic discharge.

    The software update is made from a PC, it has to be managed by a trained serviceman. For this a PC program called ESAT, ESAB Software Administration Tool, is needed. The PC is connected to the welding equipment by a cable connector and a CAN reader. From the ESAT it is possible to update the software.
