The fact that a short-circuit has occurred is transmitted to the robot control via the „Arc
stable" signal (see the „Digital output signals" chapter).
NOTE!
Output of the „arc stable" signal takes about 0.2 s longer than the duration of the
short-circuit current.
No welding can take place while the "Touch sensing" signal is set. If the robot control
sets the „Touch sensing" signal during a welding operation, welding is stopped at the end
of the burn-back time (which can be specified in the power source setup menu). Position
detection can be carried out.
KD disable
Signal X14:5
The "KD disable" signal facilitates the changeover from internal to external control of the
cold-wire feeder:
