INTRODUCTION This manual is intended to guide a system integrator, when integrating ESAB equipment with an ABB robotic solution. Supported equipment Power source Power sources for Integrated system: Mig 5000i / Mig5000iw Power sources for Anybus system: Mig 5000i / 5000iw, Mig 4004i Pulse, Mig 4002c /...
INTEGRATED VERSION External CAN bus interface integrated in welding data board 24AP1. DeviceNet communication is used. External CAN bus connection to robot Internal CAN to Power Source integrated version DeviceNet (Integrated version) DeviceNet is used to control valves, sensors, I/O units and automation equipment in industrial automation.
DeviceNet network (Integrated version) Integrated version in the network Termination DeviceNet uses the CAN bus with terminating resistors at each end of the bus. The value of the terminating resistor should be 120 ohm. This should be connected between CAN_H and CAN_L on the bus. Midpoint is connected to 0V for the internal CAN bus (0V_CAN_ext for the external CAN bus) via a 47nF capacitor.
DeviceNet DeviceNet is used to control valves, sensors, I/O units and automation equipment in industrial automation. The DeviceNet communication link is based on a broadcast-oriented, communication protocol, the Controller Area Network (CAN). This protocol has I/O response and a high reliability even for demanding applications, for example control of brakes.
Tap for DeviceNet at Weld Data Unit Termination DeviceNet uses the CAN bus with terminating resistors at each end of the bus. The terminating resistor should be 120 ohm. This should be connected between CAN_H and CAN_L on the bus. Midpoint is connected to 0V for the internal CAN bus (0V_CAN_ext for the external CAN bus) via 47nF capacitors.
24AP4 Fieldbus board - DeviceNet Fieldbus connector 5-pin plug-able screw terminal fieldbus connector (Phoenix type) Connector pin Signal Description Negative supply voltage CAN_L CAN_L bus line SHIELD Cable shield CAN_H CAN_H bus line Positive supply voltage The bus interface shall be supplied with 24VDC, but will operate as intended as long as the supply voltage is within the DeviceNet-allowed 11 to 25V DC range.
Configuration A connection to the node is set up towards the assembly object with a bus configuration tool or directly from a master. Node address (Mac ID) and baud rate are configured with dip-switches (see picture of fieldbus board). The range for node address is between 0-63 and baud rate is between 0 and 2 (0 = 125 kbit/s, 1 = 250 kbit/s and 2 = 500 kbit/s).
LED indicators The fieldbus board is equipped with four bi-colour LED's at the front of the board showing the status. LED 1 and 4 are reserved for future use. LED 2 - Network status Colour Frequency Description Not powered / Not on line Green Steady on Link OK, On line, Connected...
INSTALLATION OF HARDWARE The installation chapter will describe how to connect the different components. The ESAB integrated software in the robot controller should be installed by ABB before delivery to the site. Regarding U8 The U8 is not supported together with the W8 integrated version.
