Item 6: Any alarm violations for time, distance (Model GXL only) or energy
(Model GXE only) will be sent in the following positions as L or H in place of
the “--” shown in the sample line. The dashes are used to hold the place
when there are no alarm items so the “T:-- D:-- E:--” reading indicates that
there were no alarms during the last weld cycle. (Distance and Energy
controls are not available on Model GXT so those alarms will always print as
“D:-- and E:--.”) The low alarm, high alarm order is always the same for time,
distance and energy (examples: T:L- T:-H or T:LH ). Time alarms are at
positions 57 and 58; distance at positions 62 and 63; and energy at positions
67 and 68. Note that it is possible for a weld cycle to have both high and low
alarms at the same time depending on the alarm settings (see page 17). High
and Low alarms are set and examined independently.

Item 7: The next item represents the last job number that was saved or
recalled from the job storage memory. There are 15 jobs numbered 1 through
15 so this item is transmitted as 01 through 15 or “--” if job data has not been
set (first power up). The “J” label is used for readability of the job data
number. When an automation system is using the remote job change option
between weld cycles, the print line can be used as verification of the recalled
job for the last weld cycle. The job data number is located at position 71
through 72.

Item 8: The last printable item on the line is a comment position used to
indicate that a weld cycle was terminated by one of several external causes.
Dashes in these positions will be the normal output when the weld cycle is
controlled by weld parameter settings. Four external conditions may be
indicated at the end of the line in positions 74 through 78: “Xstop” indicates
an external stop signal was received (the cutoff command), “MnClr” when
the cycle is stopped because the operator pressed the Clear key during the
weld; “Ovrld” if the system aborts due to ultrasonic overload; and “CkLim” if
the cycle has aborted because the preweld limits failed to find the parts at
the proper position. CkLim will only apply when the distance control is ON
(system was purchased with the distance encoder option – Model GXL).
