Commissioning
General connection of the BUSINTX11

5 Commissioning
This chapter describes for you the commissioning process of the BUSINTX11, step-by-step, as well as its
operating functions.
5.1 General connection of the BUSINTX11
5.1.1 The system bus
BUSINT X11 is integrated into the welding system by means of a digital system bus.
Depending on the control installation type, connection is possible in two ways:
• Connection via the 15-pole SUB-D connector X12, if BUSINT X11 is mounted on the power source (in
an external housing at the rear side of the power source).
• Connection via the 7-pole connector X13 with control cable. This is the preferred connection method
with external installation of BUSINT X11, e.g. in an electrical enclosure.
In general it is important to keep the bus cables for the connection of BUSINT X11 to the relevant fieldbus
as far away as possible from any sources of interference (e.g. HF loaded or carrying cabling), as
otherwise the bus assemblies may become damaged due to overvoltage.
5.1.2 Power supply
5.1.2.1 Internal
The interface is normally supplied with power via a standalone, isolated power supply via the system bus.
The bus node remains addressable as long as the welding power source is switched on.
5.1.2.2 External
So that the bus node remains functional even after the system is shut down (e.g. for continued operation
of the user-defined inputs and outputs), an optional, external voltage of 24V DC must be used which is
powered by a separate module!
Depending on the design of the control, the PCBs vary for the power supply. The table below clarifies the
connection of the voltage:
System PCB Plug Pin Polarity
SV+/-15V/1A X5 1 +24V
X5 2 GND

SV IBUS3 X2 1 +24V
X2 2 GND

Depending on the field bus used, an external power supply is required


(e.g. on the Interbus).
When using the external power supply, the original EWM module must be used, otherwise the
potential isolation within the system is cancelled. EWM accepts no responsibility for operating
problems caused by this.

Commissioning
Basic configuration using plug-in jumpers

5.1.3 Connection of fast actual value signals


The BUSINTX11 normally supplies actual process values with an update of approx. 30ms for the process
voltage, current, wire speed and motor current process values.
For seam tracking, however, fast signals are required for voltage and current. These can be provided via
the interface for mechanised welding on the BUSINTX11:
Plug Pin Signal
X7 2 Actual process voltage value
X7 3 Actual process current value
X7 4 Reference mass (GND)

The interface for mechanised welding is supplied as standard for the PHOENIX, but not for the
TETRIX.
The use of fast actual value signals for the seam tracking is optional and must be ordered
separately!

5.1.4 Collision protection connection


A corresponding signal can be connected to the BUSINTX11 for connecting and powering a torch
collision protection signal on the field bus:
Plug Pin Signal
X4 1 Powering an external collision contact
X4 2 Feedback signal from collision contact

A separate 24V signal is used for the collision protection. It is essential to ensure that the
installation is free of short-circuits. The supply is short-circuit-proof, however the input becomes
unusable for the duration of the short-circuit.

5.2 Basic configuration using plug-in jumpers


These settings must be made before switching on the power source/external power source.
The BUSINTX11 has a series of jumpers to configure various basic settings that cannot be changed
during operation.
5.2.1 Selecting fast actual value signals
To transmit fast actual process values for voltage to use the workpiece search function, jumper JP2
should be configured as follows:
JP 2 Function
- Actual values via system bus (factory setting)
X Actual values are expected via plug X7
X = Jumper plugged in
5.2.2 JOB mode selection
If settings such as operating mode, welding type or superPuls are to be controlled using the program
number, jumper JP4 has to be configured as follows:
JP 4 Function
- Data are applied from the manual actuation signals as usual.
X The program number controls the function directly.
X = Jumper plugged in
5.3 Selecting the actuation profile
The profile must be selected before the power source is switched on. If the interface is supplied
with power via the external power supply, this should also be enabled for a change of profile as
well as for a shut-down of the welding power source.
Various actuation profiles are available for connection to different controls for operating BUSINTX11

5.4 Field bus connection and configuration


Different steps are required for commissioning, depending on the field bus, and these steps are described
below.
5.4.1 Interbus-S optical fibre
No address setting is required for the configuration of the Interbus subscriber as this is given by the
position of the subscriber in the Interbus. The subscriber identifies with the ID3 as a module with digital
I/O.
5.4.1.1 Field bus connection
The field bus is connected via optical fibres using FSMA rapid-action connectors:
Plug Function
U7 Incoming interface, transmit line
U10 Incoming interface, receive line
U8 Outgoing interface, transmit line
U11 Outgoing interface, receive line

5.4.6.5 Setting the subscriber address

Using the address switch


Figure 5-17

One method to set the IP address is to use the address switches provided by the module.
In this case, the address range is limited to network 192.168.0.X,
where X is the value which can be encoded by the address switch.

In the BCD code the 8 individual switches define the corresponding values of the last address, starting
with switch 8. The values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.
This means the last address block of the IP address is built from the sum of the individual values of the
activated switches.
As an example, the illustration shows address 192.168.0.213 built from:
128 + 64 + 16 + 4 + 1 .

Changes to the address switches will be applied the next time BUSINT X11 is switched on.

The IP address is provided by the switch configuration once one of the switches is activated. To
use a different address allocation method, deactivate all switches.

Data profile selection

5.5 Data profile selection


The profile must be selected before the power source is switched on. If the interface is supplied
with power via the external power supply, this should also be enabled for a change of profile as
well as for a shut-down of the welding power source.
Various actuation profiles are available for connection to different controls for operating BUSINTX11
independently of the field bus type, welding system and development status. These are selected using a
selector switch S1 with 16 positions.
5.6 Switching on the BUSINTX11
The interface is put into operational mode by switching on the connected power source or the external
voltage supply (if present). The module then runs a sequence of self-diagnostic steps and checks the
readiness of individual components.
Depending on the fieldbus type the initialisation phase can take a while. To indicate this status, LEDs 7 to
10 flash from left to right. When the initialisation is complete, LEDs 7 to 10 no longer light up.
If an error is detected this is indicated by a combination of flashes by LEDs 7 and 8. In this case the
module is not or only partly ready for operation.
Indication of the error starts with a flashlight code by LED 7 with signals lasting 1 s. The number of the
following flash signals (approx. 2 Hz) of LED 8 represents the error code.
Number of flash Number of Meaning
signals LED 7 flash signals
(error type) LED 8 (error)
1 1 Error determining module configuration
1 2 For internal use only
1 3 Error initialising operating memory
2 1 Fieldbus module does not exist or is damaged
2 2 Error initialising memory
2 3 Module not supported by current software version
2 4 Set profile not assigned; the default profile will be applied and the
interface is ready for operation despite the error indication
3 1 Power source type not supported; an attempt has been made to
operate a Tetrix power source with a BUSINT X11 Phoenix or vice
versa
The error code is cyclically repeated, with the sequence starting again at LED 7.
When the diagnosis has been completed successfully, LEDs 7 and 8 do not light up. If the power source
is switched on, LEDs 11 and 12 should start flashing with a high frequency after a short period.
The module is now ready for configuration via the fieldbus.

5.7 Field bus configuration


This is carried out in conformity with the relevant standards via specific parameters which are normally
transferred to the field bus module, or synchronised, using the bus master.
Please also see the relevant operating instructions for the field bus master for more information.

Operative mode
Pre-selecting a JOB

6 Operative mode
6.1 Pre-selecting a JOB
The PHOENIX has a wide range of adjustable parameters available which are managed using what are
known as JOBs. The corresponding welding task is defined using a JOB. A total of 255 JOBs can be set
(1 to 255).
The JOB pre-selection can only be carried out by the machine if the “Machine JOB pre-selection” bit has
been set (set automatically in some actuation profiles and does not appear in the actuation profile). Only
then can a valid JOB be specified. If the JOB pre-selection is deactivated, a JOB can be specified by the
M31x control unit for the PHOENIX.
JOBs can be pre-selected only when the system is at a standstill (no welding operation). If the
PLC occupies a different JOB number at runtime, however, the set JOB number is stored
temporarily in the module and the switching is carried out when the welding process is ended.
There is no switching if a completed switching has been cancelled again during the welding
process.
6.2 Program operation
Up to 16 programs can be preselected at the power source. Each program is directly linked to "analogue"
default values, which are saved in the JOB set at the power source. Program numbers 1–15 represent
predefined values.
The special program 0 is designed for the so-called pilot signal operation. The "analogue" default values
are predefined using separate input signals.
If other values are assigned to these bytes during normal program operation (1–15), these new
parameters are cached in the module and applied to the power source when operation is switched to
program 0.
Program actuation is only possible if the "Automaton program preselection" bit (automatically set in some
actuation profiles, does not appear in the actuation profile) has been activated.
6.3 JOB mode
As another operating mode, JOB operation is available. With program or pilot signal operation, welding
type and operating mode are set using different control signals. With JOB operation, these settings are
predefined by the program numbers in the power source and can be directly preselected. In addition,
each program is assigned the super pulsing functionality. JOB operation is set via the corresponding
signal. Alternatively, it can be predefined via jumper JP4.
Changes to the JOB operation setting can only be made when the system is switched off.

Job mode can also be activated via jumper JP4 if the signal is not included in the data profile.

6.3.1 Advanced control signal operation


Advanced pilot signal operation is activated automatically once software version 0.6.0.0 or later is
available in the power source.
The manual gas actuation function enables individual gas pre- and post-flows.
A safety function ensures the following aspects with regard to the gas:
• If no gas has been activated at the start of the process, it is switched on automatically.
• If the gas cannot be deactivated while a process is running, it is shut off automatically when the
process is switched off. This corresponds to a gas post-flow duration of 0.

6.3.2 Operating modes


There are 2 different operating modes available.
It is necessary to define the program sequence in order to understand the operating modes. The program
sequence describes a series of welding program steps which are processed in sequence, starting with
ignition, and ending with the end of the welding process.
Start/Stop signal
Signal=1 starts the system, 0 ends the welding process. Depending on the operating mode selected, the
process is ended immediately (non-latched) or following an end program (non-latched special).
Gas pre-flows/gas post-flows
Defined connection or shut-down of the process gas supply at the start and after the welding process.
Start program
Special program which becomes active in the relevant operating mode (non-latched special) once the gas
pre-flows and ignition phase are complete. This program can be assigned a separate wire feed speed,
voltage correction and a dynamic value.
Main welding program P2.x
The main welding program operation follows the completion of the start program/ignition phase
(depending on the operating mode)
Reduction program P3
This program is used in the “Superpulses” welding type for the PHOENIX and for the “Thermal pulses”
type for the TETRIX. It is activated alternately with the main welding program currently active and an
adjustable frequency is activated during the changeover. This permits special control by reducing the
power for the time in which the secondary program is running.
End program
Special program which initiates the conclusion of the welding process after the main welding program.
This is activated after the end program ramp time elapses (only with the non-latched special operating
mode).
Wire burn-back
Defined burn-back of the welding wire at the end of the welding process (can be defined as part of a
JOB). Only of relevance for MIG/MAG processes.
I > 0 signal
Feedback signal for indicating “Current flows” and final, stable burn phase. It is generally used to trigger
the positioning device.
6.3.2.1 Non-latched mode
Gas pre-flows are initiated when the start signal is issued. The ignition program is activated once these
are complete. Following successful ignition, the power source is in main welding program P2.x (according
to the setting in the program), and the signal I>0 is set.
If a Stop is issued, wire burn-back and gas post-flows are activated in sequence and the welding process
is ended; I>0 is cancelled once the arc has been extinguished.
6.3.2.2 Special, non-latched
Gas pre-flows are initiated when the start signal is issued. The ignition program is activated once these
are complete. Following successful ignition, the power source will be in the ignition program; the signal
I>0 is set. This runs for the time specified in the JOB and activates the main welding program P2.x
(according to the setting in the program).
If a Stop is issued, first the end program is activated, followed by the wire burn-back and gas post-flows,
and the welding process is ended; I>0 is cancelled once the arc has been extinguished.
The transitions from ignition program to the main program and from the main program to the end program
are controlled via ramps, where the output is carried over from one program to another.
The operating modes can also be switched over during welding operation. This means that the
non-latched special mode can be modified in a flexible way.
6.3.2.3 Spot welding
Sequence as for special non-latched, but the process duration is defined by the set ain process duration
(t2). The process then finishes automatically.

6.4 Welding types


In welding mode a distinction is made between different modes (depending on the welding system).
The welding type can be changed both when the system is at a standstill and during operation. In JOB
mode the relevant information on the welding type is taken from the active program for the current JOB.
6.5 Monitoring function
BUSINT X11 can permanently monitor the welding process using a dedicated monitoring function.
Depending on the module operating modes different signals are available.
Activating the monitoring function
To activate the monitoring function.
Parameter
At present, 4 welding parameters are assigned for monitoring:
• Welding voltage
• Welding current
• Wire feed speed (at present for MIG/MAG systems only)
• Maximum armature current of the wire feeder
For 2 parameters at a time a separate response time can be set. An individual tolerance value is
assigned to each monitoring parameter.
6.5.1 Monitoring function
The different power source operating modes are used to assign nominal values for welding voltage,
welding current and wire feed value to the process. Each tolerance parameter defines a tolerance range
for the monitored process value. The engine current is treated as a maximum value; monitoring only
encompasses checking whether this value is exceeded.
If a parameter is out of range for a period that exceeds the defined response time, an alarm is triggered in
the system. This is a passive alarm only and does not affect the welding process. Whether to cancel or
continue the welding process is determined by the higher level control. The alarm for the parameter in
question is reverted once the actual value is back in range.
It is possible to disable individual monitoring channels by setting the tolerance value to 0.

6.5.2 Display options


An alarm message is generated in one of two ways:
• Output via collective indication output (relay) on the module- See 6.5 Monitoring function chapter
• Output of the individual channels via the field bus data with the following assignments:
Bit no. Parameter
0 Welding voltage
1 Welding current
2 Wire-feed speed
3 Max. motor current exceeded
The relay output is set immediately when one of the monitoring parameters exceeds its tolerance
range. The relay is equipped with a reset delay, it is only shut down if no error has been indicated
for approx. 0.5s.
6.5.3 Monitoring parameters
The following signal specifications can be defined within a JOB:
Parameter Range specification
Voltage tolerance Specify in the range 0% to 50% of the nominal value
Current tolerance Specify in the range 0% to 50% of the nominal value
WF tolerance Specify in the range 0% to 50% of the nominal value
Maximum motor current Specify in the range 0 to 5.0A
A response time is assigned to the parameters for voltage tolerance/current tolerance and WF
tolerance/max. motor current; this common response time can be set in the range 10ms to 20s in 10ms
increments.

6.5.4 Special features of the monitoring function


Duration
The parameter monitoring takes place only in the static conditions (main welding and reduction welding
programs), which prevents error messages from dynamic alterations, such as for ramp overruns.
Fault reduction
A hysteresis method on the monitoring limits prevents the message generator “fluctuating” in the
tolerance band limit ranges.
Parameter
The settings for the monitoring function are stored per JOB and are stored as follows in the program
sequence:

Figure 6-1
Notes on usage
Unstable processes due to the conditions require more in-depth consideration in monitoring. This means
that the monitoring can be improved in terms of reliability by the relevant parameterisation of response
time or by increasing the tolerance value for one individual channel.
Where applicable, deactivating an individual process channel or the temporary deactivation of the
monitoring function during the welding process should be considered.
When using the superpulses welding type, the monitoring needs to be parameterised as very tolerant, as
the system behaviour in this operating mode can be very dynamic depending on the parameters and a
short response time will cause rather undesirable events in this case.
The nominal process values are always specified by the system. With very small tolerance values set,
from time to time the calculated tolerance value can move below the relevant parameter resolution. In this
type of situation, the resultant tolerance value is limited to a minimum value.

Other signals

6.6 Other signals


6.6.1 JOB pre-selection
Permits the specification of welding tasks (JOBs) by the machine. With the signal not set, the setting of
the JOB must be carried out via another control (e.g. M31x). With an active signal the setting of the JOB
is transferred (signal is automatically set in some actuation profiles and is not then visible in the profile).
6.6.2 Program pre-selection
Permits the specification of power stages defined by the machine. If the signal is set, a power stage is
pre-selected in accordance with the specification from the Program (special feature with program 0, - See
6.2 Program operation chapter). With a signal not set, program 1 is permanently set by the control (signal
is automatically set in some actuation profiles and is not then visible in the profile).
6.6.3 Acknowledge error
An active error is reset using this signal. For a correct function, the signal must be sloped.
Not all errors need to be acknowledged; some events reset themselves automatically- See 12
Error messages on the system chapter.
6.6.4 Gas test 1
Allows the shielding gas to be activated/deactivated manually. The signal can only be issued when the
system is at a standstill (exception: extended control signal operation). The signal can be used to extend
the gas pre-flow duration programmed permanently in the job, or to control it manually.
6.6.5 Wire Inching
Manual activation of the main wire feed for inching the welding wire into the tube/torch package. Signal
can only be issued when the system is at a standstill. Before activation any “reverse wire inching” signal
present must be cleared.
6.6.6 Reverse wire inching
Permits the retraction of the wire; can only be switched over when the system is at a standstill. Before
activation, the “Wire inching” needs to be cleared.
6.6.7 Position search
This signal is used in combination with a soft-collision detection of the welding torch (torch tube) with the
workpiece. With an active signal, a touch of the workpiece is detected. The detection functions only in
non-welding operation- See 6.6.7 Position search chapter.
6.6.8 Blow out torch
Enables manual activation/deactivation of a second gas (in most cases compressed air to clean the
torch). The signal can only be issued when the system is switched off.
6.6.9 Robot ready
Ready for operation signal for indicating the positioning device on the welding power source. Signal must
be set before the start of welding- See 6.13 Process fast shut-down chapter.

6.6.10 Welding simulation


Activates the simulation of the welding process signals for the actual programming/testing of automation
controls without active welding process with complete signal exchange- See 6.6.10 Welding simulation
chapter.
6.6.11 JOB mode
In this mode the information for operating type and welding type are not taken from individual actuation
signals, but rather from the welding program actuated.
6.6.12 User-defined outputs K1 to K4
With these signals the user-defined relay outputs K1 to K4 can be activated at the module as long as they
are not predefined for control-specific tasks.
6.6.13 WF switching
This signal can be used to change over 2 wire feed drive units when the system is at a standstill. By
default, WF number 1 active after switching on (see also the operating manual on the “WF switching”
option).
6.6.14 Tandem operation
This function is available as an optional software and in Phoenix systems enables the control of one
power source each (for TANDEM systems, 2 BUSINT X11 are required). The input signal is used to
determine which power source is the secondary power source in the TANDEM combination.
If not actuated the power source is configured as the master.
6.6.15 Inching mode
This mode is used to set the inching type in the system. If the signal is set, the nominal wire feed speed
value active at the interface is used for inching and reverse inching.
If no nominal value is active, the JOB's minimum nominal value for the system is used.
If the signal is not set, the default ramp is used for inching.
The inching mode has to be supported by the wire feeder's operating software.
6.6.16 superPuls
Switches the superPuls welding type on. superPuls can only be switched on or off when no welding is
performed. In the advanced JOB mode activated by JP4 this signal is blocked.
6.6.17 Liftarc
This signal switches ignition to lift arc automaton mode. The ignition is parameterised using a suitable
control or PC300.NET software.
6.6.18 Spot welding on
Activates the spot welding mode, regardless of the operating mode selected. This is an automatic special
non-latched sequence.
6.7 Check-back of the process parameters
During operation, a variety of parameters are transferred to the higher level control via the field bus.
Some of these parameters are available as a visual signal on the module in the form of LEDs- See
5.4.1.3 Status display chapter.
6.7.1 I > 0 (Current flows signal)
Used to feed back the welding process to the PLC. The signal is normally set by the process after the arc
has been ignited and cancelled after the arc has been extinguished. For improved signal matching with
the higher level control, the signal is stored for a certain period during welding in the event of a stoppage-
See 6.8 Signals for matching with the positioning device chapter.
The signal can be reset by a fault during the welding process.
6.7.2 User-defined inputs
There are 4 additional user-defined inputs with 24-V logic. The signals are filtered with a time constant of
approx. 50 ms.
If the module is equipped with an external voltage supply the signals will be processed even after the
welding machine has been switched off.
The signals can be used as required as long as they are not predefined for control-specific tasks.
The inputs are not isolated.

6.7.3 Process active


In order to indicate the end of the welding process to the higher level control, this signal is reset when the
system is in idle mode. During the welding process the signal is set to 1.
6.7.4 Main current signal
Used specifically in non-latched special operating mode to trigger the positioning device to the end of the
ignition program, or the start of the end program.
6.7.5 Collision protection
Indicates the status from a collision protection device connected to the module. The signal has a wire
break-proof design, which means that it is still active even if the sensor is not active. This should be taken
into account when designing the system and programming the machine.
The signal is treated with high priority to ensure rapid processing and also continues to be processed with
an external power supply to the module when the welding machine has been shut down.

6.7.6 Ready for welding


The system is ready for welding and accepts a start signal from the PLC. The signal is reset in case of
errors. When switching a JOB, the signal is reset for a duration of approx. 200 ms.
6.7.7 Sticking
The wire touches the workpiece, or is fused to the workpiece. Virtually no current flows via the workpiece.
The detection is carried out at the end of the welding process- See 6.9 Fusing detection chapter.
6.7.8 Error number
In combination with the status signal "collective error", indicates a system error. System errors have to be
acknowledged before attempting a restart.
In the advanced error functionality all existing errors are signalled successively for a duration of 1 second
each. At the end of an error sequence, signalling starts again with the lowest error number.
Some system errors cannot be acknowledged due to their severity.
6.7.9 Warning number
Signals system warnings which don't automatically cause a process stop. In case of multiple warnings a
time-based sequence is issued as with error numbers.
6.7.10 Actual welding voltage value
Transfer of the actual welding voltage of the process. The value is updated every 30ms.
6.7.11 Actual welding current value
Transfers the actual welding current in the process; value is updated every 30ms.
When using the configuration with fast actual value detection, the values for voltage and current
are updated every 5ms in the corresponding configuration of the field bus. This should be taken
into account when designing the field bus system and the transfer cycles.
6.7.12 Actual wire feed speed value
Transfer of the current wire speed for the process. Value is updated every 30ms.
6.7.13 Actual motor current value
Transfer of the actual motor current for the wire conveyor system. Value is updated every 30ms.
6.7.14 Parameter monitoring
Display of the status for the parameters being monitored. Signals are normally set to 0 if the monitoring is
inactive or the parameter in question is within the tolerance band- See 6.5 Monitoring function chapter.
6.7.15 Process signals diagram

Signals for matching with the positioning device

6.8 Signals for matching with the positioning device


Experience has shown that the signal matching between the welding power source and the positioning
device is very important. If interference occurs suddenly due to a loss of signal (e.g. arc interruption), or if
intermittent signals occur, the positioning device can itself enter an error status condition. Often it is
difficult to move the positioning device back to the basic position.
For this reason, multiple parameters for improved matching have been introduced specifically for the
process start phase and for the process in progress.
6.8.1 Ignition time: TZ-Zünd
Detecting a failed ignition process is very important during the process start phase (especially with
tandem processes with more than one power source).
The ignition phase is evaluated using an adjustable ignition time. A successful ignition process is
detected if a stable flow of current occurs for more than the set time period after ignition. The I>0 signal is
saved in this phase. However, if there is no ignition process for the duration of the failed ignition time, an
ignition error is issued to the cascade control. The process will be shut down automatically.
The ignition monitoring can be shut off by setting TZ-ZUND to the value 0.
6.8.2 TZ-Set
To specify the duration of the stable arc burn time, the parameter TZ-Set was defined. If the arc burns
stably in the ignition phase for this period, the signal I>0 is stored.

Signals for matching with the positioning device

6.8.3 Arc interruption time: TZ-LIBO


For the work process it is desirable that the process runs without interference. However, in poor
conditions it is likely that welding interference will occur, and this results in intermittent signals for the
duration of the process. Depending on the cascade control logic implemented, this results in undesirable
standstills in the positioning device. To counteract this, the interface has a time-controlled recording
feature for arc interruptions. If an interruption is detected, an adjustable time period runs, during which the
I>0 signal sent to the cascade control is stored. After this time elapses, the I>0 signal is retracted, and the
control is provided with a response time (e.g. for a re-start). After max. 5 s elapses, an automatic cut-out
of the process is carried out with an "arc interruption" error message.
The arc interruption monitoring can be shut down by setting TZ-LIBO to the value 0.
The diagram shows the detection of an arc interruption.

Fusing detection

6.8.4 Return time, TZ-Reset


Most positioning equipment uses the I>0 signal to optimise the cycle time to trigger the positioning
equipment after the process. This often makes it more difficult to reliably detect sticking. An adjustable
time TZ-RESET can be used to set the period after which the I>0 signal is reset after the process is shut
down.
If both TZ-SET and TZ-RESET are set to the value 0, the original process signal I>0 is permitted
through to the higher level control unfiltered. This can be desirable if the control has its own
process signal monitoring

6.9 Fusing detection


Reliable fusion detection of the welding wire is especially important in automated processes to protect the
workpiece and positioning device, including the welding equipment, against damage.
For this reason the BUSINTX11 has intelligent fusion detection which uses the sensor voltage from the
PHOENIX for wire fusion detection.
The fusion detection is carried out automatically for a narrow time window at the end of the process,
approx. 200ms after extinguishing the arc. The detection duration depends on the setting of the gas post-
flow duration, but is a maximum of 1s.
If fusion is detected, the signal is displayed until the system is re-started.
If the wire is cut off from the workpiece before the next start, the signal is withdrawn permanently.
The use of the fusion function for TETRIX systems is only possible following retrofitting/fitting
with a sensor voltage and the relevant equipment on the torch being used.
6.10 Position search
The position search function can be executed with either the system bus data or the quick external actual
values:
JP 2 Function
- Actual values via system bus (factory setting)
X Actual values expected via connector X7, enable position search
X – jumper connected
Ideally the BUSINT X11 variant "External mounting housing" should be installed at the power source to
ensure quick and safe transfer of the actual values to the module (short distances without interferences).
When using the "Electrical enclosure" variant a shielded cable has to be used to connect the actual
values.
This function can only be enabled when the system is switched off (no welding operation) using the
correct enable signal.
In case of contact with the workpiece the state is quickly detected and transmitted to the fieldbus via
signal "I > 0".

To improve the detection accuracy on corroded surfaces the existing sensor voltage can be increased to
60 V DC using an optional PCB. This option is selected via the EWM configuration program.

Welding seam tracking

6.11 Welding seam tracking


A traditional task for robot welding systems is track correction for the weld seam during the process,
which is required due to component tolerances.
The actual process values supplied in the system are normally updated every 30ms.
A higher data rate is required for reliable seam tracking. This is supported by BUSINTX11 with a fast,
optional actual value recording device for welding voltage and welding current, which needs to be
purchased separately.
6.12 Welding simulation
Simulation is usually used for the setup of traversing devices. The process signals simulated are "I > 0",
"Ready for welding", "Process active" and "Main current". All signals are recreated with the exact time
sequence of the process chain, which means simulation can also be used to determine the production
cycle times.
This function can only be enabled when the system is switched off (no welding operation) using the
correct enable signal.
The simulation is enabled by activating the "welding simulation" actuation signal.
Process actual values are not simulated.
6.13 Process fast shut-down
In some circumstances, an immediate shut-down of the process is desirable, which cannot be
implemented in the non-latched special operating mode, for example, with the program sequence
programmed for that mode, or by simply removing the start signal. The “Robot ready” actuation signal is
used to trigger a fast process shut-down via the software. The signal must always be set before the start
signal (otherwise there is no start). If the signal is shut down in the welding process, the process is ended
immediately with the wire burn-back of the wire electrode and the “Fast stop” error is issued on the field
bus. Before re-starting welding, “Robot ready” needs to be set first and then the error acknowledged.
6.14 Process safety shut-down
The BUSINTX11 is equipped with monitoring specific to the field bus, which is used to determine the
status of the module on the field bus. If the field bus communication is interrupted during the continuous
welding process, a safety shut-down of the welding process is carried out following a response time of
approx. 2s.
The user-defined output and the monitoring output are also reset in the process.
The welding process can be continued after restoring the field bus communication.

JOB safety switching

6.15 JOB safety switching


Power sources for mechanised MIG/MAG welding (PHOENIX) or mechanised TIG/PLASMA welding do
not normally use data records (JOBs) which are used for the electrode welding process.
However, if a data record of this type is contained in the JOB database and is selected accidentally, there
is an automatic system start (not by the interface), in which there is open circuit voltage on the torch
system (wire feeds are not activated). In this case, there is a risk of secondary accidents caused by direct
contact with live torch parts.
To prevent the risk of accidents, the BUSINTX11 automatically switches to a JOB suitable for the welding
system when an unsuitable JOB has been selected on the robot side (e.g. TIG or electrode with the
PHOENIX).
No switching is carried out if the user switches to an unsuitable JOB using the control unit (e.g. M310). In
this case, the system will switch back to a JOB selected by the robot when the next start signal is issued.
6.16 Support of welding circuit alignment
If the power source software supports this function, welding circuit alignment is possible. The alignment is
actuated using an existing control unit. BUSINT X11 supports alignment by allowing the alignment to be
activated using a set start or inching signal with the alignment mode being enabled. If this operation is
successful, the resulting welding circuit alignment is shown on the control unit. Unsuccessful
measurement is signalled as well. For the duration of the activated alignment the normal welding start is
blocked.
6.17 Advanced JOB selection
The power sources of the Multimatrix series and later enable the selection of up to 256 JOBs. Depending
on the power source type, not all JOBs can be selected. When attempting to select such a JOB, the JOB
is not selected and the interface issues a warning which is sent to the SPC and displayed on the machine
control.

7 The diagnostics interface


To support commissioning processes and the analysis of signal sequences, the BUSINTX11 has a
diagnostics interface that is connected to a PC USB port and can be evaluated using the EWM-Analyzer
software.
7.1 PC system requirements
The following requirements must be met to operate the PC software:
• Min. 1.7 GHz CPU
• 512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended for long-term recording)
• 300 MB free hard drive space
• Min. WIN XP with Service Pack 2
8 Commissioning
To commission the diagnostics interface, first connect the connection cable for the PC USB port
(consisting of filter boxes SECINTX10USB, item no. 090-008190-XXXXX and connection cable PCV5-I,
item no. 094-001205-XXXXX) to the PC and the required adapter cable for connection to the 6-pole
Minifit socket X10 on the BUSINTX11 using adapter cable item no. 094-013051-XXXXX. When using a
BUSINTX11 ATCASE, the adapter cable is not necessary as the connection cable can be inserted
directly into the casing.
Jumper 6 must be inserted in position 2-3 for operation!
Start the program, use the Windows device manager to identify and set the assigned COM port.
The diagnostics are now ready for operation!
8.1 Scope of diagnostics
Various information can be determined using the EWM Analyzer software. In profile view, the
BUSINTX11 is displayed with the preset data profile. The relevant status of the input or output can
therefore be read off immediately (system diagnostics). For expanded signal analysis based on time,
there is a diagnostics and monitor view of the recorded data available. The current software status of the
BUSINTX11 can also be easily determined.
For more information on the Analyzer, please also see the relevant operating instructions!

Data profiles

Interbus-S LWL (FSMA) and Interbus-S (Rugged Line) modules

9 Data profiles
The BUSINTX11 has a selection option for what are known as signal profiles which can be selected via a
selector switch with 16 settings.
The number of profiles available depends on the field bus standard being used and on the module
software version. The profiles described below therefore represent a minimum of the available
functionality in each case and are being updated on a continuous basis.
A newly selected profile is only applied once the module has been isolated from any supply voltage and
supplied with power again.
In cases where a switch position to which no profile is assigned is selected, the default profile is activated
for the module and an error message is displayed on the module (but not on the field bus). The module is
still ready for operation, however.
Depending on the profile, it may be that different signals in the description are not present or are not
used.

CAN DeviceNet

10 Special field bus features when setting up the field bus


modules
10.1 CAN DeviceNet
Field bus subscribers in the CAN DeviceNet are normally integrated using an EDS file (Electronic Data
Sheet). This configuration file permits access to the module configuration.
The BUSINTX11 DeviceNet is supplied together with the file BUSINTX11.EDS.
The module configuration is carried out as follows:
10.1.1 Connections
The module can be configured using what are known as connections. The number of useable
connections depends on the profile being used. Each usable connection has a defined quantity of input
data and output data. The data position of the profile always starts with the first byte of a relevant
connection.
Each connection can in theory be assigned to another connection type (Polled, COS, Strobed). However,
each connection type can only be assigned once (separated for input data and output data). The number
of data items available per connection can be read out using the “InputX length” and “OutputX length”
parameters via the configuration tool.
Here, “InputX length” stands for process status data and “OutputX length” for actuation data.
10.1.2 Example for I/O data

In the example above, the profile selected is offered for connection 1, 10 bytes of actuation data and 12
bytes of process data.

Special field bus features when setting up the field
bus modules
Profibus DP

10.1.3 Example of a connection assignment

In the example above, 12 bytes of connection 1 are assigned and configured as “Polled”.
10.2 Profibus DP
The Profibus node is integrated into the field bus using a GSD file. Here the data is structured in the form
of modules which can have different lengths.
It is advisable to distribute the modules according to the logical block size of the data. For example, word
capacity for nominal and actual values or by bytes for data with byte capacity.
10.2.1 The watchdog
Each DP node can be monitored using a watchdog to secure the data traffic.
It is essential that this function is activated as otherwise the targeted shut-down of the system will no
longer function in the event of an interruption to the field bus master.
10.2.2 DP features
Using watchdog monitoring, the system can be shut down in the event of interruption. In this process, all
I/Os are set to 0 and “FASTSTOP” is detected on the system.
The restart behaviour of the slave when restoring the connection can be configured in the DP features.
Caution is required with the following configuration:
Feature Setting
Re-start behaviour of the node Automatic re-start
Response from the master None
If the error that has occurred is reset on an operating panel before the field bus is re-started, the welding
process can be re-started if the start is still present.
Always ensure in an error situation of this type that all outputs of the node have been reset in the
application.

EtherCAT

10.3 EtherCAT
Machines are installed in the engineering system of the EtherCAT masters in the EtherCAT standard,
using XML-based configuration files called ESI (EtherCAT Slave Information).
In addition to the basic settings required for safe operation these configurations contain one special
feature.
Different machines with similar properties are defined as "devices".
Corresponding to the three machine variants Phoenix, Tetrix, and Tetrix Plasma there are three different
configuration files for BUSINT X11.
In these files, an individual machine is assigned to each data profile, which is detected when an automatic
search is carried out.

10.3.1 Machine installation


To install a machine, open the master install functionality and select the correct file depending on the
interface type (BUSINT X11 Phoenix, BUSINT X11 Tetrix or BUSINT X11 Plasma).

EtherCAT

10.3.2 Manual integration of a machine


Open the corresponding dialog in the engineering system and you will see that for each supported data
profile there is one device available.
Select the required data profile according to the reference and set the data profile control accordingly.

To ensure proper functioning the control setting and the selected entry have to match.

10.3.3 Search for a machine


Most engineering systems offer an automatic search function for EtherCAT machines.
The result will show the detected machine along with the data profile set.
If a non-existent data profile has been set at the data control, profile 0 will be selected automatically.

10.3.4 Process data view
Once the machine has been installed, its data image shows the data allocation in blocks to allow for a
general orientation.
