POWER WAVE® TO SEMI-AUTOMATIC

POWER FEED WIRE FEEDER INTERCON-

NECTIONS

The POWER WAVE® 405M and semi-automatic Power Feed family communicate via a 5 conductor control cable (K1543). The control cable consists of two power leads, one twisted pair for digital communi- cation, and one lead for voltage sensing. The cables are designed to be connected end to end for ease of extension. The output receptacle on the POWER WAVE® 405M is on the case front. The input recepta- cle on the Power Feed is typically located at the back of the feeder, or on the bottom of the user interface.

Due to the flexibility of the platform the configuration may vary. The following is a general description of the system. For specific configuration information, consult the semi-automatic Power Feed instruction manual.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The POWER WAVE® 405M and Power Feed M family of products utilize a digital communication system called ArcLink. Simply put, ArcLink allows large amounts of information to be passed at very high speeds between components (nodes) in the system. The system requires only two wires for communication, and because of its bus-like structure, the components may be connected to the network in any order, thus simplifying the system set- up.

Each "system" must contain only one power source. The number of wire feeders is determined by the type of wire feeder. Refer to the wire feeder instruction manual for details
