3. SET_PM_PROF[1];
4. J P[2] 20 % FINE Weld Start [1,1];
5. L P[3] WELD SPEED CNT 100;
etc.
Alternate serial number entry formats include:
SET_PM_PART(ABC1234567) ;
SET_PM_PART(R[n]);
SET_PM_PART(SR[n]);
SET_PM_PART(GI[n]);
If your robotic welding system includes the Multi‐Equipment feature, there will be four versions of the
Set_PM_PART macro as follows:
SET_PM_PART_E1
SET_PM_PART_E2
SET_PM_PART_E3
SET_PM_PART_E4
Select the appropriate macro for the weld equipment you are using to set the serial number. You add the
serial number to the macro call by selecting F4 (CHOICE) and choosing the desired entry method from the
pop‐up list.
Production Monitoring™ Error Handling
The Lincoln Production Monitoring™ feature allows you to specify three response actions when an out‐of‐
tolerance error is encountered:
Table B.1 Production Monitoring™ Error Handling
Lincoln Error Robot Behavior
Log Event Post Warning error and turn on user‐defined Digital Output
Alarm Latch Post Warning error, turn on user‐defined Digital Output, allow current weld to
complete but prohibit starting next weld until user reset.
Fault System Post Pause error, turn on user‐defined Digital Output, execute Burnback, Wire Stick
Check, and stop welding.
These errors are posted to the teach pendant error line, as well as added to the alarm log, and appear as
follows (for example):
LECO‐866 PM V alarm (hi:1, lo:0, wp:10)
This message means there was a Production Monitoring™ alarm caused by the arc voltage exceeding the
specified threshold in Weld Profile 10.
The detail display from the alarm log menu shows additional information as follows:
ARC‐097 25.50V, 162.1A, Pos 71.2mm
WARN
19‐Sept‐11 12:51
The detail reports the current, voltage, and weld distance from the arc start position when the error was
posted.
