Description of Programmable Parameters/Variables
The following describes the Program Variable settings for the GSP-2100 motor control while
implementing the stored “-4” program.
P# Details:
P. 1
Travel Motion Delay - Sets a delay after the activation of the Arc Signal Relay, prior to
starting the weld travel, to allow for such things as shielding gas preflow and to allow the
arc to establish before starting the welding motion. The variable value range is from
00.0 to 09.9 seconds, in increments of 00.1 seconds.
P. 2 Crater Fill Delay - Sets a delay after the cessation of weld travel (including the end of
each stitch weld, if applicable) prior to de-energizing the Arc Signal Relay, allowing the
weld trigger signal to remain active after the motion has stopped. The variable value
range is from 00.0 to 09.9 seconds, in increments of 00.1 seconds.
.
P. 3 Post Weld Delay - Sets a delay after each Crater Fill Delay (above) prior to allowing the
carriage to travel. This is to allow the welding gun to remain stationary over the end of
the weld for such things as burnback or postflow to occur. The variable value range is
from 00.0 to 09.9 seconds, in increments of 00.1 seconds. If the Continual Forward and
Reverse parameter is set to On, then this parameter is ignored and the display variable
will show “- - -“.
P. 4 Weld Direction - Allows the operator to select the direction(s) in which the automatic
weld routines are to occur in. The variable options are Forward; Reverse; or Forward &
Reverse.
P. 5 Advance To Center Limit Switch - Instructs the carriage to travel at full speed until the
center limit switch is activated (indicating weld start location) at the beginning of an
automatic weld cycle. When this feature is set to On, the automatic weld cycle may only
start when the end of travel limit switch at the opposite end of the selected Weld
Direction is activated. The variable options are either On or Off. If the Continual
Forward and Reverse parameter is set to On, then this parameter is disabled (forced to
Off) and the display variable will show “- - -“.
P. 6 Stitch Weld Selection - Enables/disables stitch welding and specifies the length of each
weld stitch. The variable options are; Off; CLS (Center Limit Switch); or a numerical
value (travel distance). When Off is selected the weld will be continuous. When CLS is
selected, a weld routine is performed each time the center limit switch is activated and
for the duration of the limit switch activation. A numerical value specifies the distance in
inches or cm (dependent upon the unit calibration of the control) that the carriage will
travel during a stitch weld. If the Continual Forward and Reverse parameter is set to
On, then this parameter is disabled (forced to Off) and the display variable will show “- -
-“
P. 7 No-Weld Spacing (Stitch Weld) - Specifies the distance in inches or cm (dependent
upon the unit calibration of the control) that the carriage will travel between stitch welds.
If the Continual Forward and Reverse parameter is set to On, or the Stitch Weld
Selection parameter is set to either Off or CLS (Center Limit Switch), then this
parameter is disabled (forced to Off) and the display variable will show “- - -“.
