If you adjust a parameter whose correct value is essential for the process (the current, voltage or wire feed speed) bey-
ond the range defined in the WPS, the system displays a warning on Control Pad and on the wire feeder display. The
parameter for which the warning is shown depends on the process in use. For more information on the parameters
related to various processes, see "Standard MIG welding processes in X8 MIG Welder" on page 88 and "Wise processes"
on page 92.
Depending on the welding program and process in use, it is possible that the welding machine cannot adjust all the
settings according to the WPS. Current, voltage and wire feed speed depend on each other, so a controversy between
WPS and welding program or process may arise, in which case the parameters are not adjusted according to the
WPS.
For information on adjusting the parameters with Control Pad, see "Control Pad views: Welding" on page 63.
For information on adjusting the parameters through the wire feeder display, see "Wire feeder views" on page 71.
Digital WPS: transferring DWPS to welding machine
Digital WPSs are created with the WeldEye tool and transferred to the welding machine via Internet or on a USB stick.
For more information on WeldEye, see "Introduction to WeldEye" on page 8 and www.weldeye.com.
The WPSs must be approved in WeldEye before they can be transferred to the welding machine.
Welding machines are connected to WeldEye in the WeldEye settings. You will need the serial number and security code
on the X8 Power Source rating plate. You can find more detailed instructions in the WeldEye Help. Once the welding
machine has been connected to WeldEye, within an hour, WPSs are automatically transferred to the welding machine.
When new WPSs are created, if the welding machine is online, the WPSs are automatically transferred to the welding
machine within 15 minutes after the WPS has been approved.
For information on connecting the welding machine to the Internet, see "Connecting to Kemppi cloud services" on
page 77.
All the welding machines of the company can be connected to WeldEye. You can see a list of all the connected
machines. If My Fleet is also in use, the services share the same list of machines. For more information on My Fleet, see
About My
Fleet.
Transferring dWPSs without a connection to Kemppi Cloud Services
1.
In WeldEye, open a WPS.
2.
Click the welding machine icon on the toolbar.
3.
A dialog opens. Click Download dWPS. You get the WPS in a file format.
4.
Save the WPS on a USB stick.
5.
Insert the USB stick in the USB port of the X8 Power Source. All the WPSs on the USB stick are saved in the welding
machine and are available in the WPS lists, after you have confirmed the copying through Control Pad.
Digital WPS: deleting WPS
You can only delete WPSs in the Advanced mode of Control Pad. To set the Control Pad to Advanced mode, go to Set-
tings view > Panel settings > Basic/Advanced mode.
Proceed as follows:
