Machine concept
The Robot Interface Testing System was specially developed for the ROB 4000 / 5000
robot interface. It can be used to test all digital and analogue inputs. The robot control is
simulated here by the Robot Interface Testing System.
The Robot Interface Testing System is a quick and easy way of testing the communicati-
ons between the robot control and the ROB 4000 / 5000 robot interface. This makes it
ideal for use at training events, as well as for repair, maintenance and commissioning.
In order to permit an additional link to be made to the robot control for test purposes, a
"Robot cable harness" is supplied with the Robot Interface Testing System. The "Robot
cable harness" makes it possible to start and to monitor the welding operation via the
robot control.
TPS 2700 / 4000 / 5000 and TS 4000 / 5000 power sources:
For more information on the "Special 2-step mode for robot interface", please see the
sections headed "MIG/MAG welding" and "Parameter mode" in the power-source opera-
ting instructions.
TT 1700/2200 and MW 2200 power sources:
For more information on the operating mode, please see the power-source operating
instructions.
Warning! Operating the equipment incorrectly and work that is not carried out
correctly can cause serious injury and damage. Do not use the functions
described here until you have read and completely understood all of the follo-
wing documents:
- this "Operating Instructions" manual
- the instruction manual of the power source being used, especially the
"Safety rules"
Note! Before starting to use the power sources TPS 2700 / 4000 / 5000 and TS
4000 / 5000, you must find out the welding-circuit resistance (see the section
headed "Determining the welding-circuit resistance" in the operating instructions
for the power source).
Note! As long as the robot interface is connected to the LocalNet, the "2-step
mode" automatically remains selected (display: 2-step mode).
