To select a welding program from the robotic control, use <Series designation and spot
number>. By programming the BOS-5000, each spot number has been assigned a pro-
gram number (0 through 255) and an electrode number (0 through 31).
<Series> range of values: 0 through 15 (4-bit selection: 0 through hex F)
<Spot number> range of values: 0 through 1048576 (20-bit selection: 0 through hex
FFFFF)
<Program number> range of values: 0 through 255
The <Spot selection> function basically has three different effects:
-
When <Start_1> becomes active in connection with the specified <Spot selec-
tion>, the welding program (0 through 255) assigned to the selected spot starts to
weld this spot.
-
When - in connection with the specified <Spot selection> (now electrode no. 0
through 31 assigned by the least significant bits of <Spot selection>) -
-
the <Tip dressed> signal becomes active, this will have an effect on the
wear and tipdress counters of either all electrodes (if <Spot selection> = 0)
or just one specific electrode (if <Spot selection> = electrode no. 1 through
31). The wear counters will be reset and the tip dress counters will be in-
cremented by 1.
-
the <Acknowledge Tip change> signal becomes active, this will have an
effect on the wear and tip dress counters of either all electrodes (if <Spot
selection> = 0) or just one specific electrode (if <Spot selection> = elec-
trode no. 1 through 31). The wear and tip dress counters will be reset to 0.
-
When the <Request electrode condition> signal becomes active in connection
with the specified <Spot selection> (now electrode no. 0 through 31 assigned by
the least significant bits of <Spot selection>), the <Initial (Start) tipdress re-
quest>, <Tipdress request>, <Prewarning> and <End of Stepper> electrode
signals are output, see p. 7-45
NOTE
Before you can make a <Spot selection> from the coordinating control, <Spot refer-
ence> must be downloaded into the WT.
Create <Spot reference>

Before you can work with the timer, you must enter a spot number in the Spot Designation
field in <Spot reference>.
Spot number entries are limited to 48 freely selectable characters as a maximum. The
first sequence of digits is interpreted as the ident code (indicating the series designation)
while the second sequence of digits is taken to be the spot number. These sequences of
digits must be separated by a character other than a digit.
