Hello,

I am trying to figure out which signals to activate/deactivate in order to achieve arc establishment and inhibition on the fly. I am using a Lincoln welding source.  
I have not found any documentation so far, which gives a list of such signals, neither on ABB side nor on the Lincoln side.

Does anyone have a clue ?

I feel like I have to deal with the different topics of Configuration - PROC like “Lincoln Equipment IO” / “Lincoln Arc Equipment Properties” / “Arc Robot Properties” but I am not sure how

For those who may have the same problem, in the Application Manual Arc and Arc Sensor, the flystartdata seems to be the solution
