USING PROCESS FUNCTIONS

Use this option to access parameters that control, limit, or monitor your process. The
menu options are:
• MONITOR: monitor your process
• LIMITS: set limits
• ARC: set arc parameters
• CONTROL: set process control parameters

Monitoring Your Process

PROCESS → MONITOR
This menu allows you to monitor elements of your process such as the configuration
and operation of your master/slave system, the life of your target, how long the
process is running out of setpoint, or whether the process voltage drops below its
threshold.

SETTING AND VIEWING MASTER/SLAVE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

PROCESS → MONITOR → MS_SYS
This menu option allows you to set your Master/Slave system diagnostics and run a
system check.
Performing a Master/Slave System Check
PROCESS → MONITOR → MS_SYS → SYS_CHK
This menu option allows you to run system diagnostics on your master/slave
configuration. The system check first compares user input/expected power with the
actual available power detected in the system and then compares the user input/
expected number of units with the detected number of units. If a mismatch exists for
either input parameter, the system displays a fault.
Note: Before running diagnostics, you need to establish the diagnostic settings for
system power and system units and enable diagnostics to run.
To perform a system check (or run system diagnostics):
1. Press PROCESS → MONITOR→ MS_SYS → SYS_CHK.
2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select Yes or No.
