Power Source for Arc welding - communication with robot

    Grettings!

    Im learning robot programming for welding purposes.

    Our company uses a yaskawa robot with the yrc1000 controller. As a power source, we are using Binzel iROB 500 which isnt integrated with yaskawa robots - welding parameters have to be "called" ( i assume with the Call instruction) was explained to me.

    So my questions are, how do i Call theese parameters when creating a program and then use them with the ARC ON / OFF instructions.

    Any tips / advice how to go about creating a Library for our power source so it wont become a jungle with future additions of welding parameters.


    Thank you for your time and help

    Hey sorry for not replying for such a long time.

    So ive tried to do arc welding like you mentioned and it works !


    i now have some follow up questions.

    Is the Call Job:Weld1Parameters needed or it can be ommited when i set the ARCON parameters manually?

    Today i tried using this:

    ARCON ASF#(1) ---> I set the parameters i want in the Arc start file and the robot does the weld.

    I didnt include the Call Job: Parameters and the robot used the welding parameters set in the ASF.


    IF i understand correctly, the Call JOB: WELD1PARAMETERS will call the parameters set in our powersource and then its enough to only use ARCON ?

    If for example i would want to " fine tune" the welding parameters i would then use the ASF command or add additional setting parameters to the ARCON instruction ?
