7.1 General
The drive unit consists of two circuit boards, named NME (AP2) and DC DUO (AP1).
(See Page 16 and Page 17 for component positions on the circuit boards.)
The NME board deals with all communication with the higher level system via a
two--wire serial bus. It also manages the control panel (KB1) and the display (DY1),
as well as communication with the DC DUO circuit board processor (IC300).
The DC DUO board controls the speed of two DC motors, which may be separately
excited or of permanent magnet type. Speed control is effected either by
measurement of the armature voltage or by tachometer control.

11.1 General
The PRESET SYSTEM MENU is used to configure the equipment connected to
the A2--A6 Process Controller (PEH) to give the correct performance of the
complete system.
The control unit variables are set to their optimum settings before the equipment is
delivered from ESAB, and should not normally need to be changed when the
equipment has been supplied to the customer.
If changing any of the variables, use the product codes for ESAB’s A2--A6 automatic
welding machines or for other systems that can be directly connected to the control
system.
The product code includes information on gear ratios, motor types, drive rollers,
diameters etc.
For information about the Control panel and information about how to use the keys,
see pages 27 --28.

General
Used for Tandem welding to get both Systems to start welding at the same point.
This is only possible if the function “Weldhead offset” has been set (see on page 50).
N.B. Make sure that both control boxes have the same settings for “Weldhead offset”
and that they have the same welding speed.
The “Master” control box is number 1 (PEH1) and the “Slave” control box is
number 2 (PEH2).
Travel motion is always steered from PEH1.

The protective gas must start to flow before the arc is struck in order to provide time
for it to cover the weld position. A suitable preflow time must therefore be loaded
into the system, and this is done by entering the required time, in seconds, into the
selected field.
Times between 1 and 99 seconds can be entered. The default value is 1 second.
The protective gas must continue to flow after the arc is extinguished in order to
protect the weld while it cools. A suitable postflow time must therefore be loaded
into the system, and this is done by entering the required time, in seconds, into the
selected field.
Times between 1 and 99 seconds can be entered. The default value is 2 seconds.

The arc voltage is noticeably affected by the impedance of the welding cables. The
impedance is affected by such factors as the length, the cross--sectional area and
the laying of the cables. This effect is particularly marked when using AC welding
current sources.
The volt drop that occurs in long cables can be compensated for by entering the
exact length of the cable being used.
The total length of the cable in metres (welding current and return current cables
together) must be entered.
The value can be set between 10--1000 m. The default value is 10 m.

IMPORTANT!
When setting the distance, “Offset” between welding head no.1 and welding head
no.2, the distance is converted by the PEH to a time between the start of welding
head no.1 and the start of welding head no.2.
The time that PEH can calculate for the distance between start/stop of the welding
power sources is max. 65 seconds.
This means that if for example a welding speed of 50 cm/min is set, it is only
possible to add max. 540 mm as an “Offset”. This is to prevent the time from
elapsing before welding head no.2 has come to the start point.

Max OCV Off / On
On some occasions, for example when welding with special electrodes or materials,
it can be necessary to make up a special start sequence. The start method can also
influence the appearance of the weld bead.
The start sequence is divided into two phases (PHASE1 and PHASE2). The time
and percentage values of the two phases can be adjusted.
N.B. PHASE2 is not available in the Chinese version.
PHASE2 has no effect if t = 0 in PHASE1.
t = the durability of the sequence, indicated in intervals of 0.1 s (max. 99.9 s).

Example
PEH
30 V
Welding head
LAF / TAF
{
+ -- 28 V
The value shown in the PEH is 30V. The measured value at the welding head is 28V.
The value for Voltage at head % will in this case be 107% (30/28 = 1,07⇒ 107).
Adjusting the Voltage at head % results in an increase of the value shown in the
PEH. The Voltage at PEH % must therefore be adjusted.
In order to reduce the value shown on the screen, indicate for
instance 30/32 = 0,94% 94%.
Before changing the CALIBRATION MENU, make sure all connectors are properly
fitted.
IMPORTANT!
S In order not to affect the voltage answer through inductance, the voltage
reference cable shall not be laid together with the current cable.
S The calibration shall be carried out by way of the existing cables at a known
load.
In order to get reliable measurement test results a measuring device in accordance
with the British standard BS 7570:2000 must be used.
Note that the system need not be linear within its working range.
The linearity is affected by induction and other disturbing factors coming up when
using different welding parameters.
The same adjustment in per cent within the whole range signifies that high values
are more affected than low ones.

14 CHANGE OF PROGRAM
14.1 General
When changing programs, the flash memory (IC15)
must be replaced. In doing this, the trimming data set
will be replaced by the preset values of the new flash
memory, see page 35.
To keep the set trimming data, the data must first be
stored in the welding power source and then be sent
back to the PEH electronics when the new flash
memory is installed.
Store trimming data for future upgradings of the
program if the complete PEH electronics are to be
replaced.
N.B. When changing the flash memory (IC15) make
sure that the program versions are compatible between
for example the PEH and the welding power source.
+
S Press .
Trimming data are sent from the PEH electronics to
the welding power source where they are stored.
+
S Press .
Trimming data are sent from the welding power source to the PEH electronics.
Existing trimming data will be overwritten.
NOTE! After the trimming data have been recalled, the voltage supply to the
PEH electronics must be switched off, in order to activate the new trimming data.
NOTE!
To be sure that the trimming data of the PEH electronics are stored in the welding
power source, the data should always be stored before changing the program.
