* This chart is a general guideline and may not suit all applications. If cable overheats, use next size larger cable.
**Weld cable size (AWG) is based on either a 4 volts or less drop or a current density of at least 300 circular mils per ampere.
( ) = mm2 for metric use
***For distances longer than those shown in this guide, call a factory applications rep. at 920-735-4505 (Miller) or 1-800-332-3281 (Hobart)
Ref. S-0007-G 2009−08

. In pulse welding applications using inverter power sources, peak currents can result in extreme voltage drops producing poor welding characteris-
tics with undersized cables. A recommendation for weld cable size is a minimum of 2/0 for 300 ampere welding power sources and 4/0 for 450
ampere welding power sources when total cable length is less than 100 ft (30m).

3-9. Electrical Service Guide Elec Serv 2011−08

Failure to follow these electrical service guide recommendations could create an electric shock or fire hazard. These
recommendations are for a dedicated circuit sized for the rated output and duty cycle of the welding power source.
In dedicated circuit installations, the National Electrical Code (NEC) allows the receptacle or conductor rating to be less than the rating
of the circuit protection device. All components of the circuit must be physically compatible. See NEC articles 210.21, 630.11, and
630.12.
NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. This welding power source requires a CONTINUOUS supply of
input power at rated frequency(+10%) and voltage (+10%). Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. Do not use a genera-
tor with automatic idle device (that idles engine when no load is sensed) to supply input power to this welding power source.

. Actual input voltage should not exceed ± 10% of indicated required input voltage. If actual input voltage is outside of this range, output may not
be available.

3-12. Touch Sensor Operation

The touch sensor feature allows the robot to locate a weldment using the wire feed system and welding power source. The weld output terminals pro-
vide a path for touch sensor voltage when this feature is turned on at the peripheral receptacle. Turning on touch sensor causes a DC voltage to be
present on the welding wire. When welding wire touches the weldment, the voltage sensing circuit closes, and a +24 volts DC output signal is sent to the
robot control indicating weldment detection. Touch sensor DC voltage on the welding wire is 80 volts DC. As soon as touch sensor turns on, WIRE LIVE
appears on the front panel display.

3-13. Remote Program Select


. Remote Program Select is factory set to “On”. WaveWriter software is required to turn this function “Off”.
When Remote Program Select is On, a remote device or robot pendant may be used to select programs. When Off, program selection must be done
from the robot pendant.

3-14. Remote Program Setting


. When Remote Program Select is “On”, program selection will be determined by remote input once a weld is initiated. Prior to welding, program
selection can be done in a normal manner from the welding power source front control panel.

SECTION 4 − OPERATION
4-1. Operational Terms
The following is a list of terms and their definitions as they apply to this interface unit:

General Terms:
AccuCurve CV Pulse process using a pulse waveform with modified curves at particular locations within the waveform. Has
a distinguished change in arc characteristics. Front panel display is ACCU − CURV.
Accu-pulse Pulse process utilizing constant current ramps with constant voltage control of peaks and backgrounds.
Adaptive response is controlled by peak and minimum current levels. Benefits are shorter arc lengths, better
puddle control, more tolerant of tip-to-work variation, less audible noise, no arc wandering, allows weld to fill in
at toes increasing travel speed and deposition, and more tolerant to poor fit up and gaps.
Accuspeed (optional) CV Pulse process designed for high travel speeds. Typically used in Robotic applications. Arc is designed to be
tight and fast. Front panel display is ACCU − SPED.
Adjust Control knob used to change or set parameters and functions.
Amps Indicates average amperage while welding and 3 seconds hold value at end of weld.
Arc Adjust Term used to represent arc length adjustments in pulse programs. Increasing Arc Adjust increases the actual
arc length. Likewise, decreasing arc adjust shortens arc length. Arc Adjust is replaced by volts in MIG
programs.
Arc Control Pressing this button will allow setting of inductance in MIG mode and sharp arc in pulse, Accu-pulse, and RMD
(optional).
Arc Length Distance from end of wire electrode to workpiece.
Auto Thread Method of jogging wire without holding jog or trigger switch. Pressing Jog and Retract simultaneously will
automatically feed wire. Default setting is 72 inches at a feed rate of 700 ipm. Pressing jog, purge, or trigger
switch will terminate the auto-threading feature. These values can be changed using a PDA with File
Management/WaveWriter software.
Crater Allows setting of voltage/arc adjust, wire feed rate, and time value for arc ends (only available on Auto Axcess
models in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can only be set with the
optional PDA with File Management software).
Gas Type Selection of shielding gas being used in application.
Inductance In short circuit GMAW welding, an increase in inductance will decrease the number of short circuit transfers per
second (provided no other changes are made) and increase the arc-on time. The increased arc-on time makes
the welding puddle more fluid.
MIG CV weld process with individual settings of voltage and wire speed.
Postflow Setting a time value for gas flow after arc end (only available on Auto Axcess models in the Arc On and Analog
input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can only be set with the optional PDA with File Manage-
ment software).
Preflow Setting a time value for gas flow prior to arc start (only available on Auto Axcess models in the Arc On and
Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can only be set with the optional PDA with File
Management software).
Process A selection made for MIG, Pulse, Accu-pulse, and RMD (optional).
Process Set Up Selection procedure for entering program.
Program Eight active slots for selection of various processes, wire types, and parameters.
Program Load Enters selected program information (process, wire type, gas, etc.) into program slot (1-8).
Pulse Conventional pulse program using peak, background, pulse width, frequency, and peak voltage as factory
taught data. Adaptive method is controlled by frequency adjustment.
Retract Sequence function that allows the wire to move back towards the contact tip when a welding operation is
completed. Setting is both speed (IPM) and time (sec), (only available on Auto Axcess models in the Arc On
and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can only be set with the optional PDA with File
Management software).
RMD (optional) RMD refers to Regulated Metal Deposition. A precisely controlled short-circuit transfer. Benefits of RMD are well
suited to thin materials, improves gap filling and spatter reduction. Provides less heat input into workpiece,
minimizes distortion and allows use of larger diameter wire on thin gauge materials.
Sequence Selecting Sequence will allow setting of preflow, start, crater, postflow, and retract times and parameters (only
available on Auto Axcess models in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes).
Sharp Arc In pulse and Accu-pulse mode this adjustment changes the arc cone by adjusting the preprogrammed factory
pulse data. In RMD (optional) this control will affect the arc in much the same way as inductance.
Start Provides voltage/arc adjust, wire feed rate, and time value for modified arc starts (only available on Auto Axcess
models in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can only be set with the
optional PDA with File Management software).

4-1 . Operational Terms (Continued)
Synergic Synergic refers to the unit’s ability to use preprogrammed pulse parameters to determine the actual pulse
settings of Peak Amperage, Background Amperage, Pulse Frequency and Pulse Width at any specific wire feed
speed setting.
Time Indicates time values being set for timed functions (e.g. Preflow, Postflow which are only available in the Arc On
and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes).
Volts Preset voltage in MIG mode at idle, actual voltage while welding, and 3 seconds hold value at end of weld.
Weld Sequence function that allows for a timed weld operation [(0 to 999 seconds) only available on Auto Axcess
models in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes, and can only be set with the
optional PDA with File Management software].
Wire Type Selection of wire type by alloys and classification.
WFS Term used to represent wire feed speed. In MIG mode, wire feed setting is independent of voltage setting. In
pulse, Accu-pulse, and RMD (optional) adjusting wire feed speed also increases power level on wire electrode
(one knob control).

4-6. Robot Auto-Calibration Sample Programs
. It is critical to make certain that NO start power, start conditions, run-in, or crater parameters of any kind are present in the robot program. The
welding power source is looking for 2 distinct welding conditions. If there is a “start power” condition, the welding power source will equate this
as the first condition and fail to execute Auto-Cal correctly. If there is a “crater fill” condition, the welding power source will equate this as the second
condition and fail to execute Auto-Cal correctly.

PRE-POWER CHECKS
A. Emergency Stop Error
Indicates an emergency stop error.
Receptacle RC5-1 connects to receptacle RC1-4 and receptacle RC5-2 connects to receptacle RC4-2 on E-Stop board
PC12. A closure between RC4-1 and RC4-2 allows +24 volts DC to be supplied to the four relays on E-Stop board PC12.

In an E-Stop situation (relays open), all four relays on the E-Stop board de-energize and cut power to the control boards.

When relay CR1 on E-Stop board PC12 is de-energized, it drops out the 18 volts AC from transformer T1 that powers the
E inverter control board(s).

When relay CR2 on E-Stop board PC12 is de-energized, it breaks the contactor signal being sent to the inverter engine
STOP board(s) from the process control module PC4 (J2-9 to RC2-3) and causes a loss of signal to the AIM board (RC2-1 and
RC2-2) and to micro input (RC5-3 and RC5-4), signaling an E-Stop is active.

When relay CR3 on E-Stop board PC12 is de-energized, it breaks the secondary side output of the motor board before it
goes to the filter board.

Relay CR4 on E-Stop board PC12 is a soft start relay in parallel with the contacts of relay CR1.

B. Arc Error

ERR Indicates voltage has exceeded the programmable limit of a valid arc for the programmed amount of time (default time is
500 ms). Check contact tip, weld conditions, and shielding gas.
Arc error can be enabled or disabled using an optional PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software.

C. No Coolant Flow Error

ERR
Indicates no coolant flow in water flow switch option. The error may be reset by reestablishing coolant flow to the gun, and
then pressing the Jog/Purge button.
COOL

D. Ground Current Detect Error

ERR
Indicates that weld current is flowing through the primary ground. This is a latching error and welding power source power
must be cycled off and back on again.
GND

E. Line Error
Indicates that primary power has dropped below the operating point of the welding power source. Signal is sent from in-
verter engine module(s) (RC6, Pin 9 on inverter control board PC1) to process control module PC4 (J2, Pin 1). Check for a
ERR brown-out condition. The primary boost capacitors have dropped below an acceptable minimum voltage threshold.
This circuit monitors the 940 volts primary DC bus voltage across the electrolytic capacitors C1 and C2. Low line is dis-
played when this voltage drops below 858 volts DC. This could happen when attempting to draw near rated output power
LINE with an input voltage below 190 volts AC, three phase. This causes the boost section to go into current limit trying to sup-
ply the output power. Once current limit is reached, the boost section can no longer hold the bus capacitors at 940 volts
DC. The inverter control will also go into an output current limit mode in an attempt to supply output power.

F. Motor Over Current Error

ERR
Indicates that the motor has been drawing too much current for too long a time period. To remedy this fault, reduce the wire
feed speed or the wire feeder torque load/duty cycle. Press Jog/Purge button to clear error.

G. Arc Start Error

ERR Indicates the contactor either is or was active, but the system failed to start an arc. Conditions for a valid arc start are at
least 50% of arc start current, voltage less than 60 volts, and voltage greater than min. valid arc voltage (default is 22.5
volts). This situation is usually attributed to a contact tip or feeder issue. The arc start error parameter can be disabled
STRT using an optional PDA with File Management/Wave Writer software.

H. No Tach Error
Indicates loss of tachometer feedback. Determine cause of error as follows:
S Press JOG button on the front panel.
S Does the motor run wide open immediately?
S YES  Replace Motor Board PC6.
ERR S Does the motor ramp up in speed?
S YES  Bad motor tach. Contact nearest Factory Authorized Service Agent.
TACH S Does the motor respond at all?
S YES  Contact nearest Factory Authorized Service Agent.
S Check motor cable. Is it damaged?
S YES  Replace motor cable.
S NO  Contact factory service personnel.

I. Thermal Over Temperature Error


Indicates one or more of the inverter engines overheated. Sent from inverter engine module(s) (RC6, Pin 12, on inverter
control board PC1) to process control module PC4 (J2, Pin 7). Check fan on inverter engine(s) and weld currents.
This signal is the sum of two conditions: shutdown that comes from the temperature monitoring circuit on the inverter con-
trol board, and Pwr-Up-Cnt that generated by the boost section of the inverter control board. When either of these signals
is active, RC6-12 is pulled low (this is the not ready line out of the inverter control board).
Shutdown is active when there is an over-temperature condition on the primary or secondary heatsink or on the boost
inductor. To determine which of the two locations is at fault, check LED 1 and LED 2 on inverter control board PC1.
S If LED 1 is lit, this indicates an over-temperature condition on the primary heat sink.
ERR S If LED 2 is lit, this indicates an over-temperature condition on the secondary heat sink or on the boost inductor.
Pwr-Up-Cnt (power up control) monitors primary voltage start-up conditions when the power source is first turned on. This
signal is opto-isolated from the boost section of the inverter control board. The following conditions must be met for the
TEMP power source to power up:
S Auxiliary power board PC3 must be powered up and operating to supply prepower of +15 volts DC to the boost sec-
tion of inverter control board PC1.
S The peak voltage of the input line power must be greater than 150 volts peak.
S The DC bus voltage must be greater than 85% of the rectified line voltage. This bus voltage also turns on the
pre-charge relay.
S The DC bus voltage must be boosted to greater than 858 volts DC.
If any of these conditions are not met, then receptacle RC6-12 is pulled low and weld output is locked out.

J. Unknown Error

ERR
Indicates error bit from process control module PC4 is set, but error value sent does not match anything defined with the
UIM board PC7.

K. Motor Communications Error
The motor board has lost communication with the PCM board PC4. Check cabling and cable routing for boom system
motor cable and secondary cables. Separate cable as much as possible.
Check if WFM board PC6 code is installed and if microprocessor is running. Check LED3 and LED4 on WFM board PC6.
Depending on the wire feed speed, check for 0-40 volts DC on J17-3 to J17-1. If there is no voltage present there, check
for 40 volts DC at J16-1 to J16-2. If voltage is present there and neither LED is lit (Red or Green), try to download WFM
code to welding power source. If neither LED turns on after downloading code and cycling power, replace WFM board
PC6.
If LED3 and LED4 are flashing Red or Green or they are solid Red, this indicates the WFM board is still not communicating
with the PCM board PC4. Be sure that the UIM board PC7 is on-line (two green LEDs lit).
S Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between process control module PC4, UIM board PC7, and WFM
board PC6.
S Check process control module PC4 for +24 volts DC at 6-pin connector J6-2 (+) and J6-5 (−).
MOTR If +24 volts is not present at the connector, proceed as follows:
S Disconnect connector J10 and J11 from WFM board PC6. Check for +24 volts DC at J10-2 (+) and J10-5 (−), and
J11-2 (+) and J11-5 (−). One of the two connectors must measure +24 volts DC to ensures that the Devicenet lines
COMM are being sent from process control module PC4 to WFM board PC6. If +24 volts DC is present at either connector,
replace WFM board PC6.
S If +24 volts DC is not present at either J10 or J11 connector, check process control module PC4 at connectors J6, J7,
and J8.Remove plugs from connectors and check for +24 volts DC at pin2 (+) and pin 5 (−). If +24 volts DC is not
present at any of the connectors, replace process control module PC4.
If LED3 and LED4 are both green this indicates that the WFM board went off-line and then recovered which is usually due
to noise interference.
S Check wire drive motor isolation. Isolated portion of motor housing should not touch robot arm, welding power source
chassis, lifting eye bolts, or weld secondary common. Measure impedance between chassis and both weld secondary
commons. Measure the impedance across motor isolation barrier on motor housing. All measurements should read
high impedance.
S Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between process control module PC4, UIM board PC7, and WFM
board PC6.

L. Over Average Current Error


Output current is exceeding the thermal capabilities of the welding power source for approximately 25 seconds.
Default value is as follows:
Axcess 450 limit is 610 A average
This is a duty cycle error and requires 5 minutes with power on and NO welding to clear the error.
This error indicates that an excessive amount of current was drawn over a short period of time. Over-average current is
drawn for a period of approximately 25 seconds and can also be expressed as exceeding the power source duty cycle.
The current limit is as follows:
OVER Axcess 450 is 610 amperes
This alarm cannot be reset. To clear the condition, the power source must be turned on and allowed to idle for approxim-
ately 5 minutes. This cooling period is determined by an internal timer, and turn off power will not reset the timer since it is
AVE saved with the Configuration data. After the 5 minute cooling period, press the Jog or Purge button, or cycle power to clear
the alarm.
If this alarm was received by mistake, and the power source did not exceed the duty cycle, check the following:
Check current feedback signal either while welding or connecting to a load bank. Measure between test point TP8 and
grounding strap on process control module PC4. Test point TP8 is located on left-hand side of board, about 1 in. (25 mm)
to the right of connector J11. TP8 is scaled: 1 volt measured equals 100 amperes actual. This measurement should read 0
volts when not welding. If the measurement reads approximately 13 volts DC, disconnect LEM device from engine (one at
a time) to determine if either device is bad. If the voltage reading still does not change, unplug the lower inverter control
board; if the reading remains the same, replace the upper inverter control board. Voltage readings should be present while
welding. If voltage readings are not correct for current feedback scaling, check individual inverter engines.

PRE-POWER CHECKS
M. Over Current Error
Indicates one or more of the inverter engines has latched with an over-current. Signal is sent from engine module(s) (RC6,
Pin 11, on inverter control board PC1) to process control module PC4 (J2, Pin 6).
The over-current circuit monitors the inverter high frequency transformer primary current. Normal welding will never trip
this circuit, only a fault will cause an over-current condition. LED4 will be lit on the inverter control board, and power must
be cycled to clear this error.
OVER S The most likely fault to trip this circuit is an open 940 volts DC bus bleeder resistor, either R1 or R8 on the interconnect
board. An open resistor will cause the bus, which is split between two series capacitors, to become unbalanced. The
capacitor with the open resistor will go to approximately 340 volts DC. The other capacitor will go to approximately 600
CRNT volts DC. Normally, both capacitors are at approximately 470 volts DC. The unit will weld like this most of the time. A
16 uF balancing capacitor in series with the transformer can keep the transformer from saturating under these adverse
conditions. Occasionally, the inverter transformer will saturate, and when this happens, it draws a huge amount of
current and trips the over-current circuit. This condition locks off the inverter control board and eventually the bus ca-
pacitors will fail. A change to a different resistor eliminated this situation and the problem is no longer an issue.
S A shorted output diode will cause an over-current error and no weld output will be available.

N. Release Trigger Error

REL Indicates a timed weld has expired, but the trigger is still active. Press Jog/Purge button to clear error.
This error occurs after a timed weld expires and the trigger is not released. A PDA with File Management/WaveWriter
software can be used to set up timed welds. This is strictly an informational−type error.
TRIG

O. Trigger Stuck Error


Indicates the welding power source was turned on and the trigger signal attempted to weld. Turn welding power source off

5-4. WFM Board PC6 Diagnostics
A. Power Supplies
Check to see if the WFM board PC6 has power. This can be done by checking yellow LED1 and LED2 on the board.
If LED’s are not lit:
1. Check and reset motor power supplementary protector CB2 on back of welding power source.
2. Check voltage at connector J16-1 and J16-2 on WFM board, measurement should read approximately 40 volts DC. If power is present, but
power LED’s are not lit, replace WFM board.
If power is not present, check symptoms as follows:
a. Check +15 volts DC power supply at connector J14-2 (+) and J14-4 (−).
b. Check +5 volts DC power supply at connector J7-1 (+) and J7-4 (−).
c. Check +5 volts DC motor tachometer power supply at connector J14-1 (+) and J14-4 (−).
d. Check +24 volts DC motor Devicenet power supply at connector J10-2 (+) and J10-5 (−).

B. No Devicenet Communications
Check if WFM board PC6 code is install and if microprocessor is running. Check LED3 and LED4 on PC6.

If neither LED is lit (Red or Green), download WFM code to welding power source. If neither LED turns on after downloading code and cycling power,
replace PC6.

If LED3 and LED4 are flashing Red or Green or they are solid Red, this indicates the WFM board is still not communicating with the PCM board PC4. Be
sure that the UIM board PC7 is on-line (two green LED’s lit) and the AIM board PC9 is on-line (two green LED’s lit). If UIM board PC7 and/or AIM board
are off-line, it possibly due to cabling or the PCM board.
1. Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM).
2. Check PCM board for +24 volts DC at 6-pin connector J6-2 (+) and J6-5 (−).
If no +24 volts is present at the connector, proceed as follows:
a. Disconnect connector J10 and J11 from WFM board. Check for +24 volts DC at J10-2 (+) and J10-5 (−), and J11-2 (+) and J11-5 (−). One of
the two connectors must measure +24 volts DC to ensures that the Devicenet lines are being sent from the PCM board to the WFM board.
If +24 volts DC is present at either connector, replace the WFM board.
b. If +24 volts DC is not present at either J10 or J11 connector, check PCM board at connectors J6, J7, and J8. Remove plugs from connectors
and check for +24 volts DC at pin2 (+) and pin 5 (−). If +24 volts DC is not present at any of the connectors, replace the PCM board.

If LED3 and LED4 are both green this indicates that the WFM board went off-line and then recovered which is usually due to noise interference.
1. Check wire drive motor isolation. Isolated portion of motor housing should not touch robot arm, welding power source chassis, lifting eye bolts,
or weld secondary common. Measure impedance between chassis and both weld secondary commons. Measure impedance across motor
isolation barrier on motor housing. All measurements should read high impedance.
2. Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM).

C. Err Tach
Press the Jog switch on the front panel to check if the motor turns (ERR TACH will not be displayed when switch is pressed).

D. Err WFS

1. Verify that correct revision of code is loaded on all control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM).
2. Verify that welding power source is identified correctly on the displays (e.g. AUTO 450).
3. Perform a software reset of the system.
4. Replace UIM board.

5-6. PCM Diagnostics


A. Power Supplies
1. Check PCM board PC4 incoming AC power supply. The yellow LED’s in the upper right corner of the PCM board indicate the board is receiving
18 volts AC from the E-stop board PC12. If these LED’s are not lit, then check connection J2-2 and J2-3 for −35 volts AC on PCM board. Also,
check for burnt diodes D3, D4, D6, and D7 in upper right corner of board.
2. Check PCM board +15 volts DC supply. Do NOT short any testpoints together as this will cause a power supply failure. This DC supply can be
checked at the board testpoint TP4 located under electrolytic capacitor and to right of upper center mounting screw. Measure from TP4 to
ground using the large braided grounding strap located at center bottom of the PCM board.
3. Check PCM board −15 volts DC supply. Do NOT short any testpoints together as this will cause a power supply failure. This DC supply can be
checked at the board testpoint TP3 located to the left of the electrolytic capacitor and to right of upper center mounting screw. Measure from
TP3 to ground using the large braided grounding strap located at center bottom of the PCM board.
4. Check PCM board +5 volts DC supply. Do NOT short any testpoints together as this will cause a power supply failure. This DC supply can be
checked at the board testpoint TP24 located to the left of large black heatsinks. Measure from TP24 to ground using the large braided ground-
ing strap located at center bottom of the PCM board.
5. Check Devicenet +24 volts DC isolated supply. This DC isolated supply can be checked at any of the following locations: J6-2 to J6-3, J7-2 to
J7-3, or J8-2 to J8-3. If 24 volts DC is not present, disconnect all Devicenet connectors (J6, J7 and J8) and remeasure at the previous loca-
tion(s). Also, check J3-1 to J3-2 for approximately 28 volts AC.

PRE-POWER CHECKS
B. No Devicenet Communications
LED3 And LED4 Are Not Lit
1. Check Serial Communication board PC13 (where PDA connects). The two switches on the board must be lifted up and away from the board or
the PCM board PC4 will not exit bootloader.
2. Download latest code to PCM board (may not have code loaded).

LED3 Is Green And LED4 Is Not Lit

This condition indicates the PCM board has not detected another board on the Devicenet lines. Could be backwards installed tantalum capacitors.
1. Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM).
2. Check all control boards for proper DIP switch settings (UIM, AIM and WFM boards).
3. Check that motor/Devicenet cabling is not tied or routed near secondary power cables.
4. Disconnect Devicenet grey cable from WFM board PC6 to AIM board PC7 leaving just PCM board and AIM board connected to the network.
Check AIM board PC9 to see if it is receiving power and is on line with the network. If AIM board does not power up and is not on line, disconnect
AIM Devicenet grey cable from the PCM board. Disconnect WFM board Devicenet grey cable from AIM board and connect it to the PCM board.
If neither the WFM board or AIM board receive power and go on line with the network, replace the PCM board.

LED3 Is Green And LED4 Is Red

When LED 3 is green and LED4 is red this indicates the PCM board has detected another board on the Devicenet lines, but cannot maintain commu-
nications. This condition is usually caused by noise on the lines or a cabling issue.
1. Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM). Check that motor/Devicemet cabling is
not tied or routed near secondary power cables.
2. Check and secure connections between all control boards.
3. Check all control boards for proper DIP switch settings (UIM, AIM and WFM boards).

C. Welding Issues
1. Check entire welding system (contact tip, liner, wire feed system, gas flow, secondary cables, ground, etc).
2. Perform a system reset (see Section 4-7). Remember to perform the Auto-Cal procedure on the welding power source (see Section 4-6). Load
a program from the default program library and try welding. If the reset procedure does not correct the condition, load the latest code on control
boards and verify that all boards have been updated to the latest code.
3. Go to SetVal mode so that analog inputs are now controlled by the front panel controls (see Section 5-20). Run a program and check the weld. If
condition is corrected, perform the Auto-Cal procedure on the welding power source (see Section 4-6) and use a PDA with ServicePak soft-
ware to diagnose system.
4. During power up, be sure that front panel display of power source type matches the welding power source. If power source type is not correct,
load the latest code on control boards and verify that all boards have been updated to the latest code.
5. Check robot type using a PDA with ServicePak software and view the Configuration and Error Log screens.
6. Ensure that valid weld commands are being sent to the PCM board. Use a PDA with ServicePak software and view the Weld Data Diagnostics
screen. Verify contactor, program select (while welding), gas, motor, arc adjust (while welding), arc control (while welding), and wire feed
speed (while welding).
7. Check voltage feedback by comparing open-circuit voltage to voltage displayed on front panel. If there is a difference of +/−3 volts, measure
OCV between testpoint P21 and grounding strap on PCM board. Testpoint TP21 is located on left-hand side of board, about 1-1/2 in (38 mm)
above connector J5. Do NOT touch workpiece when checking OCV. To obtain OCV, release pressure rolls on wire drive and trigger the sys-
tem. TP21 is scaled 1 volt measured equals 10 volts actual (e.g. OCV of approximately 75 volts should measure approximately 7.5 volts).
When no arc is established, the system stops attempting to weld after 3 seconds. If no voltage is present at TP21, check voltage feedback
inputs at connector J5 for a short at Vsense + and Vsense − leads.
8. Check engine enable signal by measuring for 15 volts between J2-9 and grounding strap with engine off (no trigger). When system is triggered,
this should measure approximately 0 volts for 3 seconds.
a. Check current feedback signal either while welding or connecting to a load bank. Measure between testpoint TP8 and grounding strap on
PCM board. Testpoint TP8 is located on left-hand side of board, about 1 in (25 mm) to the right of connector J11. TP8 is scaled 1 volt mea-
sured equals 100 amperes actual.
b. Verify engine command signal by measuring between testpoint TP11 and grounding strap. Load the Accupulse 0.045 E70S C10 program at
the front panel. Do NOT weld, but measure during the 3 seconds of OCV:
675 Ampere Power Source = 5.45 Volts
450 Ampere Power Source = 8.2 Volts
300 Ampere Power Source = 12.3 Volts

D. Memory Save Issues


To test the memory, perform the test in the following order:
1. Use a PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software to backup power source program data.
2. Load a non-factory default program into all eight program slots [e.g. use the pulse (not Accupulse) aluminum program].
3. Use a PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software to modify the configuration file (e.g. turn an error code on or off).
4. For the current program displayed, modify the Trim or Voltage and WFS settings.
5. Cycle power on the unit.

Auto-Axcess 300 TM-207 991 Page 35


PRE-POWER CHECKS
6. After system start up is complete, verify that WFS and Trim or Voltage remained set with the values from Step 4.
7. Verify configuration remained set with the change from Step 3.
8. Verify the active eight programs remained set from Step 2.
9. If any conditions changed from those stated in the previous steps, replace PCM board PC4. If all conditions remained unchanged, restore
backup programs from Step 1.

E. Cannot Download Code To PCM Board


1. Verify that the power source is not a PipePro unit.
2. Check connection at cradle and/or serial port for PDA.
3. Cycle power on power source and retry downloading code.
4. Be sure that PDA has latest version of ServicePak software.
5. Reset PDA by pushing button located inside hole in back of PDA (see PDA Owner’s Manual).
6. Verify that cable is connected to J4 on PCM board and other end is connected to Serial Communication board PC13 (where PDA connects).
7. Check Serial Communication board (where PDA connects). The two switches on the board must be lifted up and away from the board or the
PCM board PC4 will not exit bootloader.
8. Code 225008A for the PCM board will NOT allow code to be downloaded until the User Interface is on line and operational. The PCM board can
be forced into download mode by pressing both switches down on the Serial Communication board. Cycle power on the welding power source.
Download only the PCM code using the PDA (click “continue anyway” for any errors that appear on the PDA screen). When PCM code has
downloaded, lift the two switches up (away from the board) on the Serial Communication board. Cycle power on the welding power source,
then download the code for the remaining boards.

F. Unit Does Not Auto-Calibrate


1. Press and hold in the Setup button, and cycle power on the unit. Verify that all control boards report software numbers.
2. Use a PDA with ServicePak software and verify weld schedule data by viewing the Comm Diagnostics or Weld Data Diagnostics screen.
Settings should be 10 volts at 100 ipm for 15 seconds followed by 44 volts at 1000 ipm (999 ipm for Motoman) for 15 seconds. Sample programs
are provided in Section 4-6 for Motoman, Fanuc, and ABB robots. Even without auto-calibrate complete, analog inputs should be similar to the
previously stated settings (a noticeable low wire feed speed and voltage or trim command followed by a noticeable high wire feed speed and
voltage or trim command).
3. Auto-calibration cycle must be completed in its entirety. If it is interrupted, cycle power on the unit and perform the auto-calibration again.
4. Robot must have the weld enabled output signal. The robot must send the contactor signal to let the power source know it is sending the correct
analog inputs. Use a PDA with ServicePak software and verify weld schedule data by viewing the Comm Diagnostics or Weld Data Diagnos-
tics screen.
5. Use a PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software and verify system set up for Robot Control (PS, wire, gas) or Shared Control (Arc on,
analog); otherwise, the Power Src Cntl (Arc on, no analog) setting does not use robot analog inputs.

PRE-POWER CHECKS
G. Other PCM Board Issues
1. Perform a system reset (see Section 4-7). Remember to perform the Auto-Cal procedure on the welding power source (see Section 4-6). Load
a program from the default program library and try welding. If the reset procedure does not correct the condition, load the latest code on control
boards and verify that all boards have been updated to the latest code.
2. During power up, be sure that front panel display of power source type matches the welding power source. If power source type is not correct,
load the latest code on control boards and verify that all boards have been updated to the latest code.
3. Check for an E-Stop signal and reset, if necessary (only applies to units equipped with E-Stop option).
a. Ensure that valid weld commands are being sent to the PCM board. Use a PDA with ServicePak software and view the Weld Data Diagnos-
tics screen. Verify contactor, program select (while welding), gas, motor, arc adjust (while welding), arc control (while welding), and wire feed
speed (while welding).
b. Auto-calibration cycle must be completed in its entirety. If it is interrupted, cycle power on the unit and perform the auto-calibration again.

5-7. AIM Board Diagnostics


A. Analog Inputs (WFS/Voltage/Trim)
. Most robots will only provide an analog output (or update the outputs) when the contactor is active (when trying to weld).
Any measurement of analog outputs from the robot must be taken while the robot attempts to weld and prior to any robot or power source generated arc
start error. Use a PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software and check the Dry Run box in the Configuration screen. If a robot is not available,
use a robot analog simulator.

B. Welding Issues
1. Separate commands coming in through AIM board PC9 from internal power source welding function to isolate power source from AIM board.
Go to SetVal mode so that analog inputs are now controlled by the front panel controls (see Section 5-20). Set weld parameters on front panel
and try welding.
a. If weld looks good, exit SetVal mode and try welding again using the same parameters from the robot. If performance is different, use a PDA
with File Management/WaveWriter software and set system for Power Src Cntl (Arc on, no analog) that does not use robot analog inputs.
b. If weld is not good, continue in SetVal mode to isolate AIM board, and check welding parameters and system function.
2. Check scaling of the robot analog outputs:
a. Voltage and trim 0 to 10 volts command = 0 to 50 volts actual (normal configuration) 0 to 100 trim actual (optional trim configuration)
For Motoman robots only, scaling is 0 to 14 volts command:
0.14 volts command = 0.5 volts actual
7.00 volts command = 25.0 volts actual
14.00 volts command = 50.0 volts actual
b. WFS 0 to 10 volts command = 0 to 1000 ipm actual (normal configuration) 0 to 1400 ipm actual (optional WFS configuration)
For Motoman robots only, scaling is 0 to 14 volts command:
0.14 volts command = 1 ipm actual
7.00 volts command = 500 ipm actual
13.99 volts command = 999 ipm actual
3. Check connection at 72-socket receptacle RC70 and be sure there are not bent pins in the plug.
4. Use a PDA with ServicePak software and view the Comm Diagnostics screen to see the analog channels, Cmd is command, AI is a rough
estimate of the analog input voltage, and ADC is the raw analog to digital converter output.
5. Remove top cover from power source and be sure that robot is connected to the 72-socket receptacle RC70. Check AIM board is properly
seated in unit, board will bend away from 72-socket receptacle if there is any misalignment in the receptacle. Verify that ribbon cable is seated
properly to receptacle RC52 on AIM board.
6. Check continuity of WFS command pin in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Verify voltage while robot tries to weld (robot will only typical attempt the
welding command for 1 to 3 seconds before generating an arc error in the robot).
a. WFS command common is pin 34 for all robots.
b. All robots except Motoman WFS command is pin 5, at 0 to 10 volts command to provide approximately 100 ipm/volt for 0 to 1000 ipm scaling.
c. Motoman WFS command is pin 19, at 0 to 14 volts command to provide approximately 70 ipm/volt for 0 to 999 ipm scaling.
7. Check continuity of voltage/trim command pin in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Verify voltage while robot tries to weld (robot will only typical
attempt the welding command for 1 to 3 seconds before generating an arc error in the robot).
a. All robots voltage/trim command common is pin 16.
b. All robots except Motoman voltage/trim command is pin 9, at 0 to 10 volts command to provide approximately 5 volts/volt or 10 trim/volt for 0
to 50 volts scaling.
c. Motoman voltage/trim command is pin 10, at 0 to 14 volts command to provide approximately 3.5 volts/volt or 7 trim/volt for 0 to 50 volts
scaling.

C. Analog Outputs
1. Voltage feedback signal is pin 6 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. By default a 0 to 10 volt signal represents 0 to 100 volts. This voltage is averaged
over a default time of 100 ms. The default minimum and maximum output range is 0 to 10 volts.
2. Current feedback signal is pin 7 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. By default a 0 to 10 volt signal represents 0 to 1000 amperes. This amperage is
averaged over a default time of 100 ms. The default minimum and maximum output range is 0 to 1000 amperes.

D. Digital Inputs
Sinking digital inputs use RD common pins 13, 17, 21, 36, 44, 52, 56, 57, and 70. These signals are activated by pulling the input to RD common. The
inactivate state is +5 volts DC (even if the robot has a pull-up potential of +24 volts DC).

Sourcing digital input pin 14 provides a +24 volts DC source to activate a sourcing input (used on ABB robots). Alternatively, a +24 volts DC source may
be provided by the robot, but this source must be referenced (tied) to RD common.
1. E-stop sinking digital input is pin 3 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active low, Off state (E-stop active) should measure +5 volts DC, and On state
(power source ready) should measure 0 volts DC. LED21 on the AIM board PC9 will be on if the E-stop is activated and there is no E-stop error.
. E-stop will disable the power source and wire feeder. The E-stop connection must be shorted to RD common to allow welding.
2. Contactor (trigger) sinking digital input is pin 69 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active low, Off state should measure +5 volts DC, and On state
should measure 0 volts DC. LED2 on the AIM board will be on if the contactor is activated.
3. ABB robot contactor (trigger) sourcing digital input is pin 35 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active high, Off state should measure +0 volts DC,
and On state should measure +24 volts DC. LED2 on the AIM board will be on if the contactor is activated.
4. Purge sinking digital input is pin 67 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active low, Off state should measure +5 volts DC, and On state should
measure 0 volts DC. LED12 on the AIM board will be on if purge is activated.
5. ABB robot purge sourcing digital input is pin 47 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active high, Off state should measure +0 volts DC, and On state
should measure +24 volts DC. LED12 on the AIM board will be on if purge is activated.
6. Jog sinking digital input is pin 64 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active low, Off state should measure +5 volts DC, and On state should measure
0 volts DC. LED1 on the AIM board will be on if jog is activated.
7. ABB robot jog sourcing digital input is pin 47 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active high, Off state should measure +0 volts DC, and On state
should measure +24 volts DC. LED1 on the AIM board will be on if jog is activated.
8. Retract sinking digital input is pin 58 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active low, Off state should measure +5 volts DC, and On state should
measure 0 volts DC. LED11 on the AIM board will be on if retract is activated.
9. ABB robot retract sinking digital input is pin 46 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active highl, Off state should measure +0 volts DC, and On state
should measure +24 volts DC. LED11 on the AIM board will be on if retract is activated.
10. Touch sense or sensor on sinking digital input is pin 27 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active low, Off state should measure +5 volts DC, and On
state should measure 0 volts DC. LED14 on the AIM board will be on if touch sensor is activated.
11. ABB robot touch sense or sensor on sinking digital input is pin 29 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. Active high, Off state should measure +0 volts
DC, and On state should measure +24 volts DC. LED14 on the AIM board PC9 will be on if touch sensor is activated.
12. Program select sinking digital input consists of three input pins: 68 RPS-A (least significant bit), 63 RPS-B (second significant bit), 41 RPS-C
(most significant bit) in the 72-pin plug to the robot. The RPS bits are only active while welding, and they do not affect the active program while
the power source in not welding (in idle state the power source program can be changed by the front panel). Active low, Off state should mea-
sure +5 volts DC, and On state should measure 0 volts DC.

tional.
b. Individual programs may also be disabled using a PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software to set Program Locks. A locked program

E. Digital Outputs
Sinking digital outputs use RD common pins 13, 17, 21, 36, 44, 52, 56, 57, and 70. These signals are activated by pulling the output to RD common. The
inactivate state is +5 volts DC.

Sourcing digital output pin 14 provides a +24 volts DC source to activate a sourcing output (used on ABB robots). Alternatively, a +24 volts DC source
may be provided by the robot, but this source must be referenced (tied) to RD common.
1. Touch sinking digital output is pin 28 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. This output is pulled to RD common when welding wire has touched the
workpiece when the system is in touch sense mode. LED33 on the AIM board will be on when workpiece is touched.
2. ABB robot touch sourcing digital output is pin 18 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. This output is pulled to +24 volts DC when welding wire has
touched the workpiece when the system is in touch sense mode.
3. Error sinking digital output is pin 26 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. This output is pulled to relay common when system is not ready to weld and
when power source input power is off.
4. Ready sinking digital output is pin 2 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. This output is pulled to relay common when system is ready to weld. LED23
on the AIM board will be on when ready to weld.
5. Current detect sinking digital output is pin 2 in the 72-pin plug to the robot.
6. Wire stuck sinking digital output is pin 61 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. This output is pulled to relay common when there is a wire stuck error
condition. LED24 on the AIM board will be on when the wire stuck error occurs.
7. Wire stuck common is pin 49 in the 72-pin plug to the robot and is used for wire stuck normally open relay.
8. Wire stuck normally open is pin 51 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. This output is pulled to wire stuck common when there is a wire stuck error
condition.
9. Water flow error normally open is pin 37 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. This output is pulled to relay common when there is a water flow error
condition. LED26 on the AIM board will be on when there is not water flow error.
10. Water flow error normally closed is pin 25 in the 72-pin plug to the robot. This output is open if there is a water flow error condition; otherwise, this
output is pulled to relay common.

F. Bus Warning
All these errors should be disabled by default and are meant for factory testing only. This error is used to check for missing data packets (usually caused
by noise interference) on the Devicenet communication lines.
1. Check that motor/Devicemet cabling is not tied or routed near secondary power cables.
2. Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM).
3. Check wire drive motor isolation. Isolated portion of motor housing should not touch robot arm, welding power source chassis, lifting eye bolts,
or weld secondary common. Measure impedance between chassis and both weld secondary commons. Measure impedance across motor
isolation barrier on motor housing. All measurements should read high impedance.
4. Check for TIG welding operation near power source.

G. Line Error
This circuit monitors the 940 volts primary DC bus voltage across the electrolytic capacitors C1 and C2. Low line is displayed when this voltage drops
below 858 volts DC. This could happen by attempting to draw near rated output power with an input voltage below 190 volts AC, three phase. This
causes the boost section to go into current limit trying to supply the output power. Once current limit is reached, the boost section can no longer hold the
the bus capacitors at 940 volts DC. The inverter control will also go into an output current limit mode in an attempt to supply output power.

PRE-POWER CHECKS
H. Motor Communications Error
Check if WFM board PC6 code is install and if microprocessor is running. Check LED3 and LED4 on PC6.

If neither LED is lit (Red or Green), download WFM code to welding power source. If neither LED turns on after downloading code and cycling power,
replace PC6.

If LED3 and LED4 are flashing Red or Green or they are solid Red, this indicates the WFM board is still not communicating with the PCM board PC4. Be
sure that the UIM board PC7 is on-line (two green LED’s lit) and the AIM board PC9 is on-line (two green LED’s lit). If UIM board PC7 and/or AIM board
are off-line, it possibly due to cabling or the PCM board.
1. Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM).
2. Check PCM board for +24 volts DC at 6-pin connector J6-2 (+) and J6-5 (−).
If no +24 volts is present at the connector, proceed as follows:
a. Disconnect connector J10 and J11 from WFM board. Check for +24 volts DC at J10-2 (+) and J10-5 (−), and J11-2 (+) and J11-5 (−). One of
the two connectors must measure +24 volts DC to ensures that the Devicenet lines are being sent from the PCM board to the WFM board.
If +24 volts DC is present at either connector, replace the WFM board.
b. If +24 volts DC is not present at either J10 or J11 connector, check PCM board at connectors J6, J7, and J8. Remove plugs from connectors
and check for +24 volts DC at pin2 (+) and pin 5 (−). If +24 volts DC is not present at any of the connectors, replace the PCM board.

If LED3 and LED4 are both green this indicates that the WFM board went off-line and then recovered which is usually due to noise interference.
1. Check wire drive motor isolation. Isolated portion of motor housing should not touch robot arm, welding power source chassis, lifting eye bolts,
or weld secondary common. Measure impedance between chassis and both weld secondary commons. Measure impedance across motor
isolation barrier on motor housing. All measurements should read high impedance.
2. Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM).

I. Over-Current Condition
The over-current circuit monitors the inverter high frequency transformer primary current. Normal welding will never trip this circuit, only a fault will
cause an over-current condition. LED4 will be lit on the inverter control board, and power must be cycled to clear this error.
1. The most likely fault to trip this circuit is an open 940 volts DC bus bleeder resistor either R1 or R8 on the interconnect board. An open resistor
will cause the bus, which is split between two series capacitors, to become unbalanced. The capacitor with the open resistor will go to approxi-
mately 340 volts DC. The other capacitor will go to approximately 600 volts DC. Normally, both capacitors are at approximately 470 volts DC.
The unit will weld like this most of the time. A 16 uF balancing capacitor in series with the transformer can keep the transformer from saturating
under these adverse conditions. Occasionally, the inverter transformer will saturate, and when this happens, it draws a huge amount of current
and trips the over-current circuit. This condition locks off the inverter control board and eventually the bus capacitors will fail. A change to a
different resistor eliminated this situation and the problem is no longer an issue.
2. A shorted output diode will cause an over-current error and no weld output will be available.
3. Very early inverter control boards were susceptible to noise and could result in unbalanced gate pulses to the inverter IGBT’s. This condition
would unbalance the transformer and cause over-current errors. This problem is no longer an issue.

J. Over-Average Current
This error indicates that an excessive amount of current was drawn over a short period of time. Over-average current is drawn for a period of approxi-
mately 25 seconds and can also be expressed as exceeding the power source duty cycle.

The current limits are as follows:

Auto-Axcess 675 is 910 amperes

Auto-Axcess 450 is 610 amperes

Auto-Axcess 300 is 310 amperes

This alarm cannot be reset. To clear the condition, the power source must be turned on and idle for approximately 5 minutes. This cooling period is
determined by an internal timer, and turn off power will not reset the timer since it is saved with the Configuration data. After the 5 minute cooling period,
press the Jog or Purge button, or cycle power to clear the alarm.

If this alarm was received by mistake, and the power source did not exceed the duty cycle, check the following:

Check current feedback signal either while welding or connecting to a load bank. Measure between testpoint TP8 and grounding strap on PCM board.
Testpoint TP8 is located on left-hand side of board, about 1 in (25 mm) to the right of connector J11. TP8 is scaled 1 volt measured equals 100 amperes
actual. This measurement should read 0 volts when not welding. If the measurement reads of approximately 13 volts DC, disconnect LEM device from
engine at a time to see if either one is bad. If the voltage reading still does not change, unplug the lower inverter control board; if the reading remains the
same replace the upper inverter control board. Voltage readings should be present while welding. If voltage readings are not correct for current feed-
back scaling, check individual inverter engines.

PRE-POWER CHECKS
K. PCM Board PC4 Bus Off
This condition is not normally seen due to the UIM board PC7 being off line, but it may appear in a system log. The error occurs due to the PCM board
Devicenet bus (communication channel) going off line and results from the board not receiving any Devicenet packets for several seconds.
1. Check PCM board Devicenet power for +24 volts DC. LED’s 3 and 4 will both be off if there is no Devicenet power. Disconnect all Devicenet
connectors (J6, J7 and J8) and measure at the following locations: J6-2 to J6-5, J7-2 to J7-5, or J8-2 to J8-5. If 24 volts DC is not present,
replace PCM board.
2. If there is Devicenet power, reconnect all Devicenet connectors (J6, J7 and J8) and remeasure at the previous locations. If Devicenet power is
present, then one of the Devicenet boards is shorting or overloading the Devicenet power. Connect boards to Devicenet bus one at a time to
determine which board is bad and replace it.
3. Check for any noise issues, motor isolation, TIG welding operation near power source, latest code on control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and
AIM), and cable routing.
4. Assume a PCM board Devicenet driver issue, and replace the PCM board.

L. Robot I/O Board PC10 Communications Error


If yellow LED’s 25, 27, and 28 are lit (located near top center of board by ribbon cable) this indicates the Robot I/O board has power. The Robot I/O board
receives +24 volts DC power from the E-Stop board. If LED’s are not lit, check the E-Stop board.

When yellow LED’s are not lit, disconnect plugs from RC8 and RC9 on the Robot I/O board. Measure voltage on the wiring harness at RC8-2 to RC8-5
and at RC9-2 and RC9-5. One of the two measurements must read +24 volts DC to ensure that the +24 volts DC Devicenet lines are being sent from the
PCM board PC4 to the Robot I/O board. If +24 volts DC is present at one of the harness connectors, replace the Robot I/O board. If +24 volts DC is not
present at either harness connector, check PCM board Devicenet power for +24 volts DC. Disconnect all Devicenet connectors (J6, J7 and J8) and
measure at the following locations: J6-2 to J6-5, J7-2 to J7-5, or J8-2 to J8-5. If 24 volts DC is not present, replace PCM board.
1. If Robot I/O board LED’s 30 and 31 are flashing red/green or LED’s are solid red, this indicates Robot I/O board is not communicating with the
PCM board. Check that the UIM board has two green lit LED’s indicating it is on line, and that the WFM board has two green lit LED’s indicating it
is on line. If UIM board and/or WFM board is not on line, check cabling and PCM board.
a. Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM).
b. If multiple boards are not on line and all grey harnesses are inspected and connections are secure, assume a PCM board Devicenet driver
chip failure, and replace the PCM board.
2. If Robot I/O board LED’s 30 and 31 are green, this indicates Robot I/O board went off line and then recovered. This condition is usually a result
of noise.
a. Check all Devicenet grey harness connections between control boards (PCM, UIM, WFM, and AIM).
b. Check 72-pin plug cable routing to the robot. Be sure that cable is not routed near any TIG welding operations and system is properly
grounded.
3. If Robot I/O board LED’s 30 and 31 are off, this indicates a software download was interrupted. Download software to Robot I/O board again.

M. RMD Demo Timeout


The RMD demo process has expired. Once the RMD demo times out, no further RMD welding can be performed without purchasing the RMD upgrade
package.
1. The RMD demo cannot be reset.
2. No additional demo time is available.
3. After the demo times out, cycle power and any RMD program in the power source will be overwritten when the unit is powered up. The replace-
ment programs should be configured for standard processes, wire, and gas currently available on the power source.

N. Release Trigger Error


This error occurs after a timed weld expires and the trigger is not released. A PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software can be used to set up
timed welds. This is strictly an informational type error.

O. Trigger Stuck Error


This error indicates a trigger source was activated while the power source was being powered up. If the trigger source is removed, the error can be
cleared.
1. Use a PDA with ServicePak software and view the Comm Diagnostics screen to see the source of the contactor or trigger command.
2. If LED2 is lit on the RIO board PC10 this indicates a contactor signal is being sent from the robot.

PRE-POWER CHECKS
P. Thermal Over-Temperature Condition
This signal is the sum of two conditions: shutdown that comes from the temperature monitoring circuit on the inverter control board, and Pwr-Up-Cnt
that generated by the boost section of the inverter control board. When either of these signals is active, RC6-12 is pulled low (this is the not ready line out
of the inverter control board).

Shutdown is active when there is an over-temperature condition on the primary or secondary heatsink or on the boost inductor. To determine which of
the two locations is at fault, check LED’s 1 and 2 on the inverter control board.
1. If LED 1 is lit, this indicates an over-temperature condition on the primary heatsink.
2. If LED 2 is lit, this indicates an over-temperature condition on the secondary heatsink or on the boost inductor.

Pwr-Up-Cnt (power up control) monitors primary voltage start-up conditions when the power source is first turned on. This signal is opto-isolated from
the boost section of the inverter control board. The following conditions must be met for the power source to power up:
a. Auxiliary Power board PC3 must be up and operating to supply prepower of +15 volts DC to the boost section of the inverter control board.
b. The peak voltage of the input line power must be greater than 150 volts peak.
c. The DC bus voltage must be greater than 85% of the rectified line voltage. This bus voltage also turns on the pre-charge relay.
d. The DC bus voltage must be boosted to greater than 858 volts DC.

If any of these conditions are not met, then receptacle RC6-12 is pulled low and weld output is locked out.

5-21. E-Stop Operation And Troubleshooting
LED21 is off on the AIM board PC9 indicating the emergency stop is active. The E-Stop signal is not monitored by the Devicenet system, but is moni-
tored by the RIO board and sent through Devicenet to the PCM board, however; no error message is sent to the displays.
The normal operating mode for the E-Stop is to look for a short between receptacle RC70-3 and RC70-21 (RD common) at the 72-socket receptacle on
the rear of the power source. When the short between the pins opens, the E-Stop is active. The E-Stop signal is monitored by the AIM board and sends it
by Devicenet to the rest of the system. If the AIM board loses its Devicenet connection to the PCM board, the E-Stop will still function but no error
message will be displayed.
E-Stop signal monitoring on the AIM board is at receptacle RC54-1 (board ground) and RC54-2 (connected to an opto coupler). When the E-Stop is
shorted (de-activated), the opto coupler is turns on, lighting LED21 on the AIM board, and energizing relay K1 on the AIM board. K1 contacts are nor-
mally open (held open in case of a power loss), and are connected to receptacle RC5-1 and RC5-2.
Receptacle RC5-1 connects to receptacle RC4-1 and receptacle RC5-2 connects to receptacle RC4-2 on the E-Stop board. A closure between RC4-1
and RC4-2 allows +24 volts DC to be supplied to the four relays on the E-Stop board. In an E-Stop situation (relays open), all four relays on the E-Stop
board would de-energize and cut power to the control boards.
When relay CR1 on the E-Stop board is de-energized, it drops out the 18 volts ac from transformer T1 that powers the inverter control board(s).
When relay CR2 on the E-Stop board is de-energized, it breaks the contactor signal being sent to the inverter engine board(s) from the PCM board (J2-9
to RC2-3) and causes a loss of signal to the AIM board (RC2-1 and RC2-2) to micro input (RC5-3 and RC5-4) signaling an E-Stop is active.
When relay CR3 on the E-Stop board is de-energized, it breaks the secondary side of the motor board before it goes to the filter board.
Relay CR4 on the E-Stop board is a soft start relay in parallel with the contacts of relay CR1.
