Progress is always music.......
So 1 byte is being used for Job no. using output range of 8 signals from 65 - 72.
- Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) where output 65 only would be equivalent of 1, output 66 only would be equivalent of 2, outputs 65 and 66 only would be equivalent 3 and so on........
- Max amount available would be 255.
Interface Panel Page(s) Configuration is done in Aux 0509.
- Pages are in matrix of 7x4 and can contain switches/lamps/messages variable inputs/bcd switch
- E Controller has 4 as default, but can be increased upto 8 by Aux 0808 if required.
Selecting Interface Panel Pages can be via main teach screen, interface panel buttons on teach pendant - attached screenshot.
Also, in program, you can turn on/off interface panel page by including AS Commands:
IFPDISP 1; will turn interface panel page 1 on.
IFPDISP 2; will turn interface panel page 2 on.
MAINDISP; will turn on Teach Screen.
From looking at backup2, it looks like you enter job no. via Interface Panel Page 2 which sends outputs 65-72 (1Byte) to Welder for selection.
Press 'Welding Number' button and enter job no. request for welder......REAL variable will change and it looks like control of this is done by PC Program called autostart.pc always running in PC Area.
As for simplifying the process, this would depend on how you would like to send the job no. to the welder.
- The above method is directed towards manually inputting it.....which is as simple as it gets.....
