Basic Characteristics RAPID

Component group: End
cool_time (cooling time) Data type: num
The time (in seconds) during which the process is closed before other terminating
activities (filling) take place.
fill_time Data type: num
The crater-filling time (in seconds) at the end phase of the weld.
bback_time (burnback time) Data type: num
The time (in seconds) during which the weld electrode is burnt back when electrode
feeding has stopped. This to prevent the electrode getting stuck to the hardening
weld when a MIG/MAG process is switched off.
Burnback time is used twice in the end phase; first when the weld phase is being
finished, the second time after crater-filling.
rback_time (rollback time) Data type: num
The time (in seconds) during which a cold wire is rolled back after the power
source has been switched off. This to prevent the wire getting stuck to the hardening
weld when a TIG process is switched off.
The functions burnback and rollback are mutually exclusive.
postflow_time Data type: num
The time (in seconds) required for purging with protective gas after the end of a
process. The purpose of gas postflow is to prevent the weld electrode and the
seam from oxidizing during cooling.
fill_sched (finish schedule) Data type: num
The identity (expressed as a number) of a weld program in connected welding
equipment. It is sent to the welding equipment when the weld phase is completed
and is used when crater-filling.
See System Parameter Arc Welding - Equipment - schedport_type.
fill_voltage (crater-filling voltage) Data type: num
The welding voltage (in volts) during crater-filling at the end phase of a process.
The value specified is scaled and sent to the corresponding analog output, in
accordance with the setting in the system parameters for analog signals.
fill_wirefeed (crater-filling wirefeed) Data type: num
The feed speed of the weld electrode when crater-filling.
