WIRING DIAGRAM Component description WARNING ! STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage circuit boards and electronic components. Observe precautions for handling electrostatic- - sensitive devices. Use proper static- -proof bags and boxes. This component description should be read in conjunction with the wiring diagram. The description of operation contains a more detailed description of the functions of the components.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION 1 MMC panel The MMC panel consists of a control panel and a welding data board. The power source, the wire feed unit and control panel each have their own microprocessor for control. The control panel is the central unit in the system: in addition to setting and controlling welding data, it also has overall control of the entire system.

Valid for serial no. 038- , 105- , 136- , 214- , 233- , 249- , 445- xxx- xxxx 13AP1:2 Start / Stop The welding gun switch contact is supplied at 17 V AC from transformer TR1. Closing the switch contact activates optocoupler IC7, pulling C47 low. When gas pre--flow starts, wire feed also starts and the power source generates welding voltage.

Valid for serial no. 038- , 105- , 136- , 214- , 233- , 249- , 445- xxx- xxxx Starting sequence Circuit board 13AP1 carries an EEPROM, IC16, which forms the heart of operation of the board. On power--up, the board’s CAN controller reads in the bus speed from IC16: 400 kbit/s.
Valid from serial no. 451- xxx- xxxx 13AP1 Control board , valid from serial no. 451- -xxx- -xxxx This description of operation is valid for control board 0487 187 88x, which is fitted in the wire feeders from serial no. 451--xxx--xxxx. This board can also be used as spare part for earlier versions of the wire feeders.
Valid from serial no. 451- xxx- xxxx Voltage monitoring If the +60 V supply drops below 42 V or exceeds 78 V, the MMC panel displays fault code 9. This fault does not disable any functions. The +24 V is monitored by IC12 and potential divider R129, R130, R180. If the voltage drops to 18 V or less, IC12 generates a warning signal to the processor, which responds by stopping the wire feed and then all communication on the bus.

Pulse--width modulation of transistor Q4 varies the effective motor voltage. Pulse frequency is 39 kHz, and the maximum conduction period is 99 % of the pulse period.
13AP1:16 Monitoring the cooling water connection The wire feed unit with water connection is equipped with a detection system ELP (ESAB Logic Pump) which checks that the water hoses are connected. When connecting a water--cooled welding gun, the water pump starts.
Valid from serial no. 451- xxx- xxxx 13AP1:17 Monitoring wire and gas Circuit board 13AP1 is prepared for future monitoring of wire and gas supply. The MMC panel displays a fault code if either of the inputs is closed. Fault code 27 = out of wire. Fault code 32 = no gas flow. 13AP1:18 The CAN bus The circuit board includes a driver for the CAN bus, IC2, which looks after communication with the MMC panel and with other units in the system.
Valid from serial no. 451- xxx- xxxx When the board has been initiated, and the wire feed unit is in the application program, LED1 flashes continously with a green light. There is more information about the operation of the CAN bus in the service manual for the power source.
Valid from serial no. 451- xxx- xxxx CAN adapter option The CAN adapter option is used when MiggyTrac, RailTrac or a welding gun with pull motor is connected to the wire feeder. Connection instructions for the option are included in the delivery. There is a copy of the instructions on page 27.

REMOTE CONTROLS A number of remote control units can be connected to the Aristo, these are described in a separate service manual with filename / ordering no. 0740 800 170. FAULT CODES Fault codes are used in order to indicate and identify a fault in the equipment. Fault log All faults that occur when using the welding equipment are documented as error messages in the fault log: up to 99 error messages can be saved.

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.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING ! STATIC ELECTRICITY can damage circuit boards and electronic components. Observe precautions for handling electrostatic- - sensitive devices. Use proper static- -proof bags and boxes. What is ESD? A sudden transfer or discharge of static electricity from one object to another. ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge.
The software update is made from a PC, it has to be managed by a trained serviceman. For this a computer 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 in power source, wire feeder and control panel.
