Saving an Independent Pass
A supervisor can change the parameters of the loaded
program. Once the parameters are changed, they can be
saved as a new program.
Pressing the save selection button will take the user to
a sub-menu. This menu will allow the user to program
the following variables:
Location:
Selects where the program is saved
• Local: This saves directly to the Pendant
• USB: This saves to the installed USB. This option only
appears when a USB is plugged in.
Level:
Selects what type of Program is being saved
• Independent Pass - stand alone weld procedures, not
tied to any other program
• Program Base - The first step in creating multiple
passes which tie together to form a full welding
procedure; this is explained in the next section.
• Program Pass - These are tied to the Program Base
and can be created as needed by the user. For example
a pipe could require four passes, so each pass could be
saved under a Program Base for easy retrieval.
Pass Name:
Allows the user to select a unique pass
name to identify the pass or program.
Once the location and level are set, choose a unique
name for the program. This name should be distinct to
prevent confusion.
The name field always auto populates with the name
for the currently loaded program or the program name
selected when the save button was pushed. Change
this independent pass to "New Program 01" and press
the OK Selection button.
Note: Saving to a USB limits the program to 8 characters.
