Hi,

I’m trying to set up the weld settings for a project, but I can’t find a description of what the various arguments mean.  
Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Have a read through the manual Application Manual - Arc and Arc Sensor in RS. They will give you some idea of what each argument mean.

Yep, I ended up finding it on a Czech ABB website on google. I feel like ABBs download library is useless, I’ve gone through about 50 pages worth of manuals and documentation on the search term “Arc and Arc Sensor” (along with various variations) and found nothing.

Thank you.

Sometimes the best to do is to play around with the settings and figure out what they do. For instance on my system I do not use all of the arguments so I have hidden them from the instructions.I know the manual does not always give clear details.
