6.5 Configuration
Programmable parameters enable the adaptation to different types of welding
equipment. The configuration parameters determine:
- the control properties
- the scale factors
- the offset values
- the max. and min. values, etc.
Flexible
• A manual standard power source enabling remote control by way of ana-
logue references and with the on/off function, for example LAW 350R/
500R, RPA 400, LAF, Miller Delta Weld, etc.
• A wire feeder of the DC type with AC/DC tachometer as speed feed-back.
ARCITEC
• A wire feeder of the DC type with AC/DC tachometer as speed feed-back.
These factors are listed and their values can be edited under the menu: Misc\Sys-
tem\Parameters\IO signals\Types⇒Units\PIB-name (=configured IO-name)
on the programming unit of the robot. Modified values are automatically trans-
ferred to the PIB board when starting the robot.
When changing the PIB, - Previous configuration parameters stored in the robot
will be automatically transferred to the new PIB card.
Configuration data for ABB’s standard welding equipment are included in the AW
system configuration diskettes, which can be ordered according to the price list for
standard products.
See Appendix 1; Configuration parameters, where all the parameters are listed and
defined.
6.6 Options for Increased Functionality
PIB is prepared for connection of a supplementary board increasing the functional-
ity. The board is to be connected to a 32-pole connector of the Euro type. See Fig-
ure 19 on page 35.
