Lincoln Electric IM8001 PRODUCTION MONITORING 2.2 - Manual (Page 20)

Requirements and Limitations Chapter 1. General Information
IM8001 Production Monitoring™ User Manual 1.7
ƒ FANUC® ServoTorch Wire Feed Speed (WFS) will not be recorded for older software versions of
ArcTool® software and older versions of the Welding Power Source’s firmware. Starting with the
V7.70P/07 release of the ArcTool® software, ServoTorch WFS feedback is supported.
ƒ The robotic analog interface is not recommended when you use the Last Digit of Workpoint
method for selecting Weld Profiles. (Please refer to the Power Wave® Manager User Manual for
more details on this method.)
ƒ Production Monitoring™ does not support consumable package tracking or the calculation of
Wire Deposition with Dual-Head Wire Feeders.
ƒ When using the Windows XP Pro operating system for the server computer, only five (5) users at
a time can view reports.
ƒ When you have multiple machines with memory panels connected to your system (e.g., two
wire feeders that each have a memory panel of their own), the Weld Operator should not use
these buttons to choose the Weld Profile for their weld. You could potentially select the wrong
profile for the weld.
