Field Description
Analog output This setting controls the value that is reported by the power source's third
analog feedback. The options that appear vary depending on the machine. A
great majority of applications will use the default Actual WFS option.
 Actual WFS: This option reports the actual wire feed speed of the
feeder through the third analog feedback.
 Commanded WFS: Typically used for non-Lincoln Electric wire
feeders, this option sends the recommended wire feed speed
through the third analog feedback.
 Wire Drive Motor Current: Mainly for diagnostics, this output sends
the current driving the motor. If the current deviates from the
current expected, this could indicate a problem such as the wire
being stuck or that the machine just isn’t running efficiently.
Basically, non-AC/DC machines use either the Actual WFS option or the Wire
Drive Motor Current option. AC/DC machines use either the Actual WFS option
or the Commanded WFS option. The appropriate options are visible for that
machine.
Analog Input Channels
Analog input
channels
These values indicate the magnitude of change that must occur on the first
three polled I/O analog DeviceNet channels before the Welding Power Source
will respond to the change. In the case of a command value that is sourced
from an A/D whose output may differ slightly, this configuration prevents
unintended parameter changes.
The attribute is not useful for command values whose source is completely
digital and should be set to 0. One exception is when the Welding Power
Source has an Analog Interface module. In this case, set these values to a 30.
Input channels will be ignored if their Active boxes are unchecked in which case
the Welding Power Source will assign default values to the associated
parameters.
Interface Support
Interface support This field only appears for AC/DC 1000 SD machines. It sets how the DeviceNet
interface behaves for the machine. The two available options are Standard and
Legacy AC/DC 1000:
 Choose the Standard option to make the DeviceNet interface
operate like a standard MIG interface. The DeviceNet master must
initialize all sequencer state items.
 Choose the Legacy AC/DC 1000 option to make the DeviceNet
interface operate like an AC/DC1000 DeviceNet interface where
certain sequencer state items are fanned out to other states,
duplicating what was done in the older AC/DC1000 DeviceNet
interface.
