Column Description
Welds Out of Limit Weld Engineers can set each Weld Profile with a set of acceptable values for
WeldScore™, current, voltage, wire feed speed and duration. The Welds Out of
Limit column displays the actual number of welds where at least one of the
parameters was out of limits (and the percentage of total welds this number
represents). Refer to the Power Wave® Manager User Manual for more
information on Weld Profiles.
Arc Time This displays the total number of hours that the Welding Power Source has been
welding in the selected time period (e.g., This Production Hour, This Production
Shift).
Time of Last Weld This is the start time and date of the most recent weld performed by the Welding
Power Source during the selected time period (e.g., This Production Hour, This
Production Shift).
Wire Remaining This column displays the amount of wire (in pounds or kilograms) remaining in the
current wire package. Refer to the Power Wave® Manager User Manual for
setting up wire package information.
Table 5.2 Icons and Their Meanings
Icon Description
No Communications: The Production Monitoring™ software could not communicate with the
Welding Power Source. Check that the Welding Power Source is turned on and that there are
no problems with the Ethernet network.
Incompatible Firmware: This means that the Production Monitoring™ firmware is not correct.
The software in the Welding Power Source needs to be updated to the latest version. Refer to
the Power Wave® Manager User Manual under Update the Welding Power Source Firmware for
more information.
Faulted: This indicates that the Welding Power Source has recently experienced an event that
may prevent it from welding. Refer to the Power Wave® Manager User Manual under System
Status for information on diagnosing the fault.
Latched Fault: This indicates that the Welding Power Source stopped welding due to a fault
caused by a limit set within the Weld Profile being used. This latched fault must be reset before
the Welding Power Source will weld again. Refer to the Power Wave® Manager User Manual
under Alarm Latch for more information on how to reset this.
Not Ready: This indicates that the Welding Power Source is either currently being
reprogrammed or has experienced an event that may prevent it from welding. Refer to the
Power Wave® Manager User Manual under System Status for information on diagnosing the
fault.
