ROBOTIC INTERFACE CONNECTION

Robotic interface can be made at the Remote Receptacle (See Operation Section B-2). The machine is shipped with the remote receptacle circuit internally connected to receptacle J5 of the Control board for standard Amptrol operation. In order to enable the remote receptacle for robotic interface its connection plug must be moved from J5 to J5A on the Control board. (Refer to the machine Wiring Diagram.)

The robotic interface functions with the Precision TIG set to either TIG or STICK mode, but must be in REMOTE switch position for the Preset Control inter- face to function. When in the REMOTE position with robotic interface neither the MAXIMUM OUTPUT nor the MINIMUM OUTPUT panel controls limit the inter- face control setting over the rated output range of the machine.

The diagram in Figure A.4 below shows the remote receptacle plug connections and signals for robotic interface:
