General remarks
Basic require- Note! The robot interface ROB 4000 / 5000 is only supported from software
ments version 2.55.001 upwards (power source). Older software versions will need to
be updated.
Before starting to use the welding system, you must find out the welding-circuit resis-
tance (see the section headed “Determining the welding-circuit resistance” in the opera-
ting instructions for the power source).
Safety
Warning! Operating the equipment incorrectly and work that is not carried out
correctly can cause serious injury and damage. Do not use the functions
described here until you have read and completely understood all of the follo-
wing documents:
- this “Operating Instructions“ manual
- the instruction manual of the power source being used, especially the
“Safety rules“
Machine concept The robot interface ROB 4000 / 5000 is an automatic-welder interface and robot inter-
face with analogue and digital inputs and outputs. The ROB 4000 / 5000 is designed to
be installed in an automatic-welder or robot control cubicle (can also be retrofitted).
Advantages:
- Linked up to power source via standardised LocalNet interface
- No need for any modifications to the power source
- In addition to the digital inputs and outputs:
Analogue inputs and outputs for transmitting process variables
(= independence from the bit-width of data processing in the existing robot control)
- Power source can easily be changed
- Simple plug-in connections
- Limited amount of wiring and cabling needed
- Assembled using DIN top-hat rail
- Housing dimensions (L x W x H) = 160 x 90 x 58 mm
- High degree of interference immunity during data transmission
For linking up the robot control with the robot interface, a pre-assembled, 1.5m long
cable harness is available (4,100,260: ROB 5000 cable harness; 4,100,274: ROB 4000
cable harness).
3
Machine concept The ROB 4000 / 5000 end of the cable harness is pre-assembled complete with Molex
(continued) plugs, ready for connection. At the control-unit end, the cable harness can be individually
tailored to the connection requirements of the robot power source. The detailed labelling
on the cable harness, with each designation being printed several times over along the
entire length of the cable, makes the job of connecting up the cables much easier.
In order to prevent any malfunctions, the cables between the robot interface and the
control unit should not be more than 1.5 m long.

Additional remark As long as the robot interface is connected to the LocalNet, the “2-step mode”
automatically remains selected (display: 2-step mode).
For more information on the “Special 2-step mode for robot interface”, please see the
sections headed “MIG/MAG welding” and “Parameter mode” in the power-source opera-
ting instructions.
The “Arc ON” signal starts the welding process. As long as the “Arc ON” signal is pre-
sent, the welding process will remain active.
Exception:
- The digital input signal “Robot ready” is absent
- The digital output signal “Power source ready” is absent
“Quick-Stop” is LOW-active
- 24V absent: “Quick-Stop” is initialised

Standard program
The welding parameters are selected by means of:
- analogue command values (welding power, arc-length correction, ...)
- the number of the desired standard program (for material, shielding gas, wire
diameter) from the welding-program databank
Internal parameter selection can also be performed during welding. The signals needed
for the present welding process are still specified by the robot control.
In all other modes, the values for the “Wirefeed speed” and “Welding voltage” parame-
ters are computed from the analogue input signal for the “Welding power command
value”.
In the “Manual” mode, the “Wirefeed speed” and “Welding voltage” parameters are
adjusted as follows:
- The “Wirefeed speed” parameter is addressed via the analogue input signal for the
“Welding power command value”
(“Welding Power” ... X2/1 + and X2/8 -)
- The “Welding voltage” parameter is addressed via the analogue input signal for the
“Arc-length correction command value”
(“Arc length correction” ... X2/2 + and X2/9 -)
6
Operating bit 0 - Note! In the “Manual” mode, the input signal “Arc-length correction command
2 (Mode 0 - 2) value” (0 - 10 V) has the following welding-voltage setting range available to it:
(continued) - TPS 4000 / 5000 ..... 0- 10 V corresponds to 10 - 40 V welding voltage
- TPS 2700 ................ 0 - 10 V corresponds to 10 - 34 V welding voltage
- The “Arc force” parameter is addressed via the analogue input signal for the “Pulse /
Arc-force correction”
(“Pulse correction” ... X14/3 + and X14/11 -)
System requirements:
- Software-Version 2.85.1 (power source)
- Software-Version 1.50.38 (wire feeder)
It is possible to operate the power source with a choice of constant welding voltage or
constant welding current.
Only the following parameters can be selected for the left hand display using the “Para-
meter selection button”:
- Welding current, wirespeed and F2 (wire drive current consumption)
Only the Welding Voltage parameter can be selected for the right hand display using the
“Parameter selection button”.
Note! The following input signals listed are available when the “CC / CV”
operating mode is selected. The input signals take over altered functions
compared with the remaining operating modes.
The following list contains the input signals and their functions:
- Analogue input signal “Welding power” ... specifies the welding current
- Analogue input signal “Arc length correction” ... specifies the welding voltage
- Analogue input signal “Pulse / Arc force correction” ... specifies the wirespeed
7
Operating bit 0 - - Digital input signal “Wire feed” ... start of wire feed with the specified wirespeed
2 (Mode 0 - 2) - The wire feed is active as long as the signal remains set
(continued)
- Digital input signal “Wire retract” ... start of a wire retract action at the specified
speed
- The wire retract action is active as long as the signal remains set
Note! Only the welding current is started using the input signal “Arc on” but not
wire feed.
The signal level for the analogue input signals remains at 0 to 10V even when the
oprating mode CC / CV is selected.
- Make the power source available for welding using the input signal “Robot ready”
- Specify welding current required using the input signal “Welding power command
value”
- Specify a value to which the welding voltage is to be limited using the input signal
“Arc-length correction”
Important! Set the largest possible welding voltage using the input signal “Arc- length
correction” if no special limit to the welding voltage is required.
If a welding voltage occured that is higher than that set, the selected welding current
would not be maintained.
- Set the required wirespeed using the “Pulse / Arc force correction” input signal
- Start the welding current using the “Arc on” input signal
- Start the wire feed using the “Wire feed” input signal
- Make the power source available for welding using the input signal “Robot ready”
- Specify welding voltage required using the input signal “Arc length correction”
- Specify a value to which the welding current is to be limited using the input signal
“Welding power”
Note! Set the largest possible welding current using the input signal “Welding
power” if no special limit to the welding current is required.
8
Operating bit 0 - If a welding current occured that is higher than that set, the selected welding voltage
2 (Mode 0 - 2) would not be maintained.
(continued)
- Set the required wirespeed using the “Pulse / Arc force correction” input signal
- Start the welding current using the “Arc on” input signal
- Start the wire feed using the “Wire feed” input signal
TIG
The TIG welding process with contact arc initiation has been selected. The default
welding current is based on the analog input signal “Welding power“.
Twin Master „Twin Master Bit 0“ „Twin Master Bit 1“ Plug X8/3 ............................. Signal 24 V,

Master Bit 0 and Plug X8/4 ............................. Signal 24 V,
Power source 2 0 1
1; ROB 5000) BIT 1
Plug X7/2 or X12/2 .............. GND
Depending on whether the Twin Master Bit 0 or the Twin Master Bit 1 is set, the Twin
Master Signal is either assigned to the Power source 1 or Power source 2. The frequen-
cy of the sychronized single arcs are based on the assigned Twin Master Signal.
The “Gas test” signal activates the “Gas test” function (as does the “Gas-test” button).
You can set the required gas-flow rate on the pressure regulator on the gas cylinder.
The gas test can also be used for an additional gas pre-flow during positioning.
Important! As long as the welding process is active, the gas pre-flow and post-flow
times are controlled by the power source. For this reason, it is not necessary to initialise
the "Gas test" signal during the welding process!
The “Wire inch” signal allows the wire to be fed into the torch hosepack with no flow of
gas or current (as does the “Inch-in” button).
The inching-in speed will depend upon the setting made for this in the Set-up Menu of
the power source.
9
Wire retract Plug X14/6 ........................... Signal 24 V
Plug X7/2 and X12/2 ........... GND
The “Wire retract” signal causes the wire to be retracted (pulled back). The wire retrac-
tion speed will depend upon the setting made for this in the Set-up Menu of the power
source.
Note! Only retract the wire by very short lengths, as the wire is not wound back
onto the spool when it is retracted.
Note! The error can only be acknowledged properly if the “Source error reset”
signal remains initialised for at least 10 ms.
If an error message occurs at the power source (“Source error”), the error is reset by the
“Source error reset” signal. Before this, however, the cause of the error must be found
and put right.
If the robot control does not have a digital signal for re-setting, the “Source error reset”
signal can always be linked to 24 VDC on the robot control. The error is then re-set as
soon as the cause of the error has been remedied.
Warning! Danger of injury and damage due to a welding process that starts
unexpectedly. If the “Source error reset” signal is always set to 24 V, the “Arc
on” signal must not be initialised while the error is being remedied, as the
welding process would begin again immediately after the remedying of the
error.
In the case of “Job / Program Select“ to “LOW“ the requested job is selected by means
of “Job/Program Bit 0 - 7“.
In the case of “Job / Program Select“ to “HIGH“ the requested welding program number
is selected by means of “Job/Program Bit 0 - 7“.
10
Program number Note! The assignment is identical to the “Job number” function (see following
(Job/Program Bit section). Selection as between the “Program number” and “Job number” func-
0 - 7) (ROB 5000) tions is effected with the operating bits 0 - 2.
The “Program number” function is available when “Standard program” or “Pulsed arc
program” has been selected with the operating bits 0 - 2.
Where the welding parameters are not selected with reference to the number of a job,
but to analogue command values (welding power, arc-length correction, ...), then the
respective program (for material, shielding gas, wire diameter, ...) is selected from the
welding-program databank by means of “Program number”.

Job number (Job/ Plug Signal Job-Bit Note! The assignment is identical

(ROB 5000) tion. Selection as between the

“Job number” and “Program
X11/3 24 V 2 number” functions is effected with
the operating bits 0 - 2.
X11/4 24 V 3
The “Welding simulation” signal makes it possible to “weld” along a programmed welding
path but without any arc, wirefeed or shielding gas. The digital output signals “Current
flow signal”, “Main current signal” and “Process active” are initialised in the same way as
during a real welding operation.
The “Touch sensing” signal tells the user when the welding wire or gas nozzle is touching
the workpiece (short circuit between workpiece and welding wire or gas nozzle).
When the “Touch sensing” signal is initialised, “Touch” appears on the operating panel of
the power source. A voltage of 30 V (current limited to 3A) is applied to the welding wire
or the gas nozzle, as the case may be .
The short circuit is reported to the robot control by the current-flow signal (see the
section headed “Digital output signals”).
Note! The current-flow signal is outputted for 0.2 s longer than the duration of
the short circuit current.
As long as the “Touch sensing” signal remains initialised, no welding can take place. If
the robot control initialises the “Touch sensing” signal during welding, the welding opera-
tion is aborted after the burn-back time has elapsed (this can be adjusted in the Set-up
Menu of the power source). It is now possible for position recognition (touch-sensing) to
be carried out.
Note! If position recognition to be carried out by touching the workpiece with the
gas nozzle (instead of with the welding wire), link the gas nozzle to the welding-
current cable via a resistor-capacitor (RC) element (see Fig.3).

Fig.3 RC element for linking the welding-current cable to the gas nozzle
If touch-sensing occurs via the gas nozzle, the short circuit current only flows for approx.
4 ms, until the capacitors of the RC element are recharged. In order to ensure reliable
touch-sensing by the robot control, the current-flow signal is applied for 0.5 s longer than
the short-circuit current.
13
Analogue Input signals (signals from the robot)
General The analogue difference-amplifier inputs on the robot interface ensure that the robot
interface is galvanically insulated from the analogue outputs of the robot control. Each of
the inputs on the robot interface has its own negative potential.
If the robot control only has one common GND for its analogue output signals, then the
negative potentials of the inputs on the robot interface must be linked to one another!
The analogue inputs described below are active with voltages of 0-10 V. If individual
analogue inputs remain unassigned (e.g. for “Pulse correction command value” or “Burn-
back time command value”), then the values set at the power source are accepted and
used.
On the basis of the welding power that has been selected, the power source determines
various values, including the appropriate values for welding voltage and wirefeed speed.
The parameters “Welding current”, “Sheet thickness” and “a-dimension” can also be
displayed on the operating panel of the power source as a measure of the actual welding
power.
The “Welding power command value” can only be defined if the “Standard program” or
“Pulsed-arc program” mode has been selected.

value (Arc length

voltage.
The “Arc-length correction command value” can only be defined if the “Standard pro-
gram” or “Pulsed-arc program” mode has been selected.
Note! The “Burn-back time correction command value” can only be defined if
the “Standard program” or “Pulsed-arc program” mode has been selected.

General Note! If the link between the power source and the robot interface has been
interrupted, all digital / analogue output signals will be set to “0” at the robot
interface.
The power-source supply voltage (24 V SECONDARY) is available in the robot interface.
On Plug X14/1, select which voltage will be switched to the digital outputs of the robot
interface.
- External voltage for robot control (24 V): Apply the external voltage of the robot-
control digital output card to Pin X14/1.
- Power-source supply voltage (24 V SECONDARY): Attach a jumper between
X14/1 and X14/7.
The current-flow signal is initialised as soon as there is a stable arc after the beginning
of arc ignition.
From the beginning of the gas pre-flow until the end of the gas post flow, the power
source initialises the “Process active” signal (Fig.4).
16
Main current Plug X8/9 ............................. Signal 24 V
signal (ROB Plug X7/2 or X12/2 .............. GND
5000)
Note! As long as the robot interface is connected to the LocalNet, the “2-step
mode” automatically remains selected. (Display shows: 2-step mode).
Between the starting-current and final-current phase, the main-current signal is initialised
(Fig.4).
Important! For more detailed information on the “Special 2-step mode for robot inter-
face”, please see the sections headed “MIG/MAG welding” and “Parameter mode” in the
Operating Instructions for the power source.

In most cases, the robot-torch has a cut-out box. In the event of a collision, the contact
in the cut-out box opens and triggers the LOW-active signal “Collision protection”.
The robot control must initiate an immediate robot standstill and interrupt the welding
process via the LOW-active input signal “Quick stop”.
17
Power source Plug X2/14 ........................... Signal 24 V
ready Plug X7/2 or X12/2 .............. GND
The “Power source ready” signal remains initialised for as long as the power source is
ready for welding.
As soon as an error message occurs at the power source, or the “Quick stop” signal is
initialised by the robot control, the “Power source ready” signal will cease to be applied.
This means that the “Power source ready” signal can detect both internal power-source
errors and robot errors.
General Note! If the link between the power source and the robot interface has been
interrupted, all digital / analogue output signals will be set to “0” at the robot
interface.
The analogue outputs at the robot interface are for setting up the robot and for displaying
and documenting process parameters.
Note! When the power source is idle, the “Welding voltage command value” is
transmitted. Immediately after welding, the “HOLD value” is transmitted.
In the job correction menu of the power source it is possible to specify the correction
limits for the arc length. Based on the direct connection between arc length and welding
efficiency, the correction limits also apply to the welding voltage default on the ROB 4000
/ 5000.
Important! If the arc length was specified in the job correction menu by means of the
“AL.c“ parameter, the welding voltage default can only be carried out within these limits.
The “Welding current actual value” is transmitted to the analogue output with a voltage of
0 - 10 V
- 1 V at the analogue output corresponds to 100 A welding current
- Range for “Welding current actual value”.... 0 - 1000 A
Note! When the power source is idle, the “Welding current command value” is
transmitted. Immediately after welding, the “HOLD value” is transmitted.
18
Welding current In the job correction menu of the power source it is possible to specify the correction
actual value limits for the welding efficiency. Based on the direct connection between welding efficien-
(continued) cy and welding current, the correction limits also apply to the welding current default on
the ROB 4000 / 5000.
Important! If the correction limits for the welding efficiency were specified in the job
correction menu by means of the “PcH“ and “PcL“ parameters, the welding current
default can only be carried out within these limits.
Important! The “Motor current actual value” gives an indication of the status of the
wirefeed system.
Note! When the power source is idle, the “Wirefeed speed” is transmitted.
Immediately after welding, the “HOLD value” is transmitted.
Important! The wirefeed speed is determined from the motor speed of the wire drive.
The transmitted wirefeed speed may deviate from the real wirefeed speed
- due to possible slippage on the feeder rollers of the wire drive
19
Application examples
General Depending on the requirements made by the robot application, it may not be necessary
to use all the input and output signals (commands) that the robot interface makes
available. The following examples of how to link the robot interface with the robot control
will illustrate the various different scopes of commands that are possible with the ROB
4000 / 5000.
Basic Version Example of the most important analogue and digital commands where the power source
(analogue) - ROB is addressed via analogue command values
4000 - 0 - 10 V for welding power and arc-length correction
- welding programs are selected via the power-source operating panel
Warning! Danger of injury and damage due to a welding process that starts
unexpectedly. The “Arc on” signal must not be initialised while the error is being
remedied, as the welding process would then begin again immediately after the
remedying of the error.

High-End Version Example of utilisation of the full scope of Table for job selection via the robot:
(digital) - ROB commands available on the ROB 5000
„MODE 0“ „MODE 1“ „MODE 2“
5000 where the
- mode Standrad program 0 0 0
- welding program and Pulsed arc
- job program 1 0 0
are selected digitally via the robot Job mode 0 1 0
The following extra digital functions are available on the ROB 5000
- Error re-set
- “Touch sensing” function
- “Process active”
- “Gas test”, “Wire inch”, “Wire retract” and “Blow through” signals
- Signals „TWIN Master Bit 0“ and „TWIN Master Bit 1“
Warning! Danger of injury and damage due to a welding process that starts
unexpectedly. If the “Source error reset” signal is always set to 24 V, the “Arc
on” signal must not be initialised while the error is being remedied, as the
welding process would then begin again immediately after the remedying of the
error.

Fault diagnosis and rectification
Resetting error Error messages from the power source are re-set via the “Source error reset” signal
messages - ROB („Source error reset“; is not figured at this page). The cause of the error must be reme-
5000 died first, however.
Warning! Danger of injury and damage due to a welding process that starts
unexpectedly. If the “Source error reset” signal is always set to 24 V, the “Arc
on” signal must not be initialised while the error is being remedied, as the
welding process would then begin again immediately after the remedying of the
error.
Resetting error Unlike the ROB 5000, the ROB 4000 robot interface does not permit error acknowledge-
messages - ROB ment by means of the “Source error reset” signal. Error messages at the power source
4000 are re-set automatically as soon as the error has been remedied.
Warning! Danger of injury and damage due to a welding process that starts
unexpectedly. The “Arc on” signal must not be initialised while the error is being
remedied, as the welding process would then begin again immediately after the
remedying of the error.
