*This feature is not activated as default. It can be activated via the online configurator, available on Planet GYS /
Tools / Product configuration. To activate it, contact your distributor.
This welding management interface is designed to trace/record all the steps of the welding operation, bead by bead, during
manufacturing. This qualitative approach ensures a post-production welding quality that allows the analysis, evaluation, re-
porting and documentation of the recorded welding parameters. This feature allows for the accurate and fast collection and
storage of data required under EN ISO 3834. This data can be recovered and exported with a USB stick.
1- Start - Creation of traceability
• Customise the name of the job by pressing the thumbwheel.
• Sampling interval:
- Hold: No recording of current/voltage values (average along the wire) during welding.
- 250 ms, 500 ms, etc. : recording of current/voltage values (average along the wire) every «X»
milliseconds or seconds during welding.
Press «REC» to start traceability
Traceability display
At the top left of the main screen, a red symbol is displayed to indicate that a record is being made for traceability.
Stop - Stopping traceability
To end tracking during a welding operation, the user must return to the Traceability block and select «Stop».
Exporting
The recovery of this information is done by exporting the data to a USB stick (not supplied).
The CSV data can be processed with a spreadsheet program (Microsoft Excel®, Calc OpenOffice®, etc).
The file name is linked to the machine name and serial number.
2- Start - Traceability management
The screen lists previously created jobs.
Short presssing push-button no. 1 returns to the previous menu
Holding down on push-button no.1 ( ) deletes the active job or all jobs.
Holding down push-button no. 2 (
) creates a new traceability.
Short pressing push-button no. 2 ( ) allows you to see the details of each of the previously created jobs.
