Hello all! Im working on a program today that has two different welds, each requiring two different gas purge flow rates. It will be run in AUTO so i need to figure out a way to pause the program so that we may adjust our gas flow and then continue on.
I was hoping it would be as easy as adding a wait statement before the second weld that tells the robot to wait until the cycle start button is hit again. I have no prior training so the only wait statement I know how to use is the WAIT in sec. I would love to learn more about digital inputs and outputs and how to to use them in my programming. Whoever set up our robots made writing our weld programs simple and easy, which has been great to learn on, but I'd like to really understand everything behind the command work and the I/Os.
If anybody can point me in the right direction or teach me some more about these things, it would be much appreciated!
