1. 2 Particular safety information for MSG welding

Personal protection (rays, gases, vapours)
- When welding, dry protective clothing, apron, helmet and gloves as well as solid work
shoes should be worn.
- Use a protective shield or helmet with glass, with the marking DIN GS 0196 CE.
- Protect other persons in the vicinity of the welding area from UV rays and spatter by
suitable, non-flammable partition walls.
- Always wear safety glasses if you are in an area where welding takes place.
- Wear safety glasses with side protection when you are welding or when removing slag.
UV rays are released during welding.

Protect body and particularly the eyes. Keep eye drops available.
All metal vapours are toxic!

Be careful with alloys which contain lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, nickle, chrome,
berillium.
Chloric cleaning and degreasing agents cause the toxic gas phosgen to form in the
arc (risk of suffocation!!)
Caution! Risk of poisoning in narrow places!
If shielding gas hoses are not tight or the shielding gas valve gets caught unintentionally,
shielding gas may escape to such an extent that the oxygen content of the inhaled air
decreases; symptoms of poisoning appear which may lead to unconsciousness and
suffocation.
(Argon and CO2 are heavier than air)
Sufficient fresh air must be provided! Please check the gas supplying parts regularly.
Use fume extraction systems. Pay attention to the regulations of the corresponding employers
liability insurance association.
Railings must be fitted if the working place is on a platform (higher than 2.50 m). If necessary,
wear a safety belt.
Fire prevention (explosion)
Remove all flammable materials around the welding place or cover these with a non-
flammable material.
Hot slag or spatter might cause fires if in contact with flammable materials.
2
Only use shielding gases suitable for welding, such as argon, helium, CO2 and O2 and
0
mixtures of these gases.
Never use flammable gases like acetylene, propane or pure hydrogen.
Never weld on drums, tanks or similar containers unless they have been thoroughly cleaned
and you are sure that no toxic, flammable or explosive vapours can develop.
Ensure that fire fighting agents such as water, sand or a fire extinguisher are always available.
Confined spaces must have a free passage allowing escape in case of danger.
Please observe the weld area and its surroundings when welding has finished. Fire may
break out later due to smoldering.
Electrical danger (current, voltage), pacemakers
Wearers of pacemakers may potentially be in danger due to arc welding. When MSG welding
the risk is from magnetic fields and when MSG/TIG welding from high voltage pulses of the
arc ignition units.
As there are several versions of pacemakers, the situation must be clarified with the relevant
pacemaker manufacturers or their representatives (hospital etc.).
Switch off the welding machine when not in use to prevent any electrical risk.
Warning! The terminal voltage of the welding machine may be up to 113V= or 48V~!
Avoid contact with wet or conductive metal parts, wear dry clothing and safety shoes.
Always maintain correct insulation of cables, plugs and welding torches. Do not overload
these parts.
Repair immediately any faulty water cooling lines.
Welding machines may only be used if all covers are present and correctly installed.
Although the machine is marked S (approved for welding in environments with increased
electrical hazard), the power source itself may not be installed here (mains voltage of 400 V).
Only the welding torch and the wire drive unit are permitted at such places.
Before any work is carried out inside the power source, the mains switch must be switched
off via key "11" and completely switched off via mains switch N1. Now you can pull the mains
plug.

1.3 Information about the operation

Basic informaton
The arc burns between wire and workpiece under different shielding gases which are related
to the procedure. The following terms are used:
MSG = Metal Shielded Gas (generic term for this welding procedure)
MAG = Metal Active Gas
MIG = Metal Inert Gas.
The wire electrode continuously unwound off the reel until a reel is used up. The coil weight
is 15 kgs with steel and 4 ... 5 kgs with Aluminium.
The wire thickness and welding torches to be used depend on the welding task, material
thickness and seam shape.
Power source and wire feed are in separate housings connected by a cable assembly. The
complete system is mounted on four rubber tyred wheels.
The machine is connected to a three phase alternating current supply. Please observe the
mains voltages in your country. Direct current is available at the outlet (welding torch, + pole).
Transport
The machine must always be transported without gas cylinder. All cables must be wound up
and put on the machine before transport. The machine can be moved on its wheels. When
using a fork lift truck, the forks must be placed between the wheels. The machine must lie
diagonally to the moving direction and completely on the fork.
Transport by means of a crane is also possible. In this case use the handle at the front side
and the cylinder holder at the back side of the Quinto. It is also possible to pull two belts
crosswise under the machine inside the wheels.
Mounting area, floor requirement, environment
The mounting area should be free of dust and agressive agents.
The ground should be horizontal and flat.
The distance between power source and environment should at least be 0.50 m to ease
servicing and accessibilitiy in case of repair works.
The cool air inlets and outlets must not blocked by things just like weldor's aprons, tissues,
drawings, walls etc.
The ambient temperature may vary from -10°C to +40°C.
4
0
The machine is protected to IP 23 which does not permit use in the rain. If necessary, it must
be covered. In this case ensure that the cooling air flow is not affected!
Storage
The machine should be stored in a dry and clean room. The ambiant temperatures may not
exceed -10°C and +40°C. In case of a longer storage, the machine should be covered with
a suitable foil and the cooling system must be completely emptied (danger of corrosion).
The coolant must be disposed of professionally and must not enter the drains!
1.4 Assembly of the different components
A complete machine comprises:
1. MSG power source type GLC 403 / 603 Quinto
2. Wire drive unit type Typ CK 118 (different designs)
3. Cable assembly (VSP)
4. MSG welding torch
5. Standard accessories including:
- Tools
- Set of fuses for power source
6. Earth cable, reducing valve with l/min.-scale
The individual components such as welding machine, wire drive unit with cable assembly,
MSG welding torch, gas cylinder and reducing valve have to be assembled. The water
hoses must not be exchanged. The flow is marked blue!
5
Power supply
The power supply must be installed by qualified personnel only!
Please ensure that the mains voltage to be used is identical to the operating
voltage indicated on the machine type plate.
According to the connection regulations the machine has to be fused and connected by means
of a mains cable. After removal of the covering, the connection regulations are to be found
inside the power source on the back. To ensure good welding performance the cross section
of the connection cable must be adequate. The phases L1, L2, L3 and PE are connected. The
neutral wire (N) remains free. A correct conductor connection must be provided (VDE
regulations)!
Torch connection, earth cable
The welding torch is connected to the central connection, the water hoses to the connections.
They must not be exchanged (insufficient cooling of the welding torch). The flow is marked
blue. The control line is connected to the socket at the front of the wire drive.
The earth cable is connected to the current connection at the back side of the power source
and locked by turning right. Loose earth plugs have a considerable influence on the arc and
the welding behaviour of the power source.
The gas cylinder is placed on the base plate at the back side of the machine and is secured
by a chain.
Shielding gas, reducing valve
The reducing valve is screwed onto the gas cylinder and connected to the wire drive by means
of the gas hose. The gas quantity is adjusted at the reducing valve. For this purpose, the
machine must be switched on and the torch button or key gas manual must be actuated
at the wire drive unit.
The normal gas flow quantity depends on the wire diameter is is between 8 to 16 l / min. (rule
of thumb: 10 x wire diameter in litre / min = 1.2 mm wire = approx. 12 l/min.).
The flow quantities indicated on the reducing valve depend upon upon the choke setting in
front of the gas valve. This choke has a nominal diameter of 0.6 mm. The size is clearly
marked on the litre scale of the reducing valve with NW 0.6 Ø. For example, in the case of 4
bar, the flow quantity is 11.5 l/min.
In the case of ring mains which operate at less pressure, it is not possible to set a flow quantity
of 11.5 l/min. In this case the choke diameter has to be enlarged from 0.6 to 2.0 mm or the gas
retaining unit must be removed so that a greater flow is created at a lower pressure.
In practice there are many factors influencing the gas flow; therefore it should be measured
directly at the gas shroud of the welding torch. Messrs. CLOOS Schweisstechnik deliver a
suitable gas flow measuring tube under ref. No. 097 03 04 00.
6
Wire drive unit
0
Wire drive rollers, wire guide part and wire inlet nozzle are marked according to the wire size
to prevent wrong nozzle size being used by mistake. This also applies to the contact tips and
liners of the welding torch.
When changing the wire drive rolls and gear wheels, force must not be used to mount them
on the gear shafts, e.g. hammer or similar because this might cause damage. Prior to
installation, all parts must be cleaned and greased. The wire drive rollers must not be greased
because this can cause a reduced feeding capacity. Repeat cleaning and greasing of the
drive unit in certain intervals depending on the dirt accumulation.
The welding wire itself is threaded inside the wire drive unit throughout the wire guide spiral,
the wire drive rollers, the wire guide part and the wire inlet nozzle. The wire is transported to
the torch by actuating the torch button wire manual on the wire drive unit. To do this the machine
must be switched on.
The pressure arms must only be sufficiently pressed against the pressure units as is
necessary for the relevant wire type and size. The adjustment is reproducible due to a printed
scale. The pressure arms swing out for threading the wire or exchanging the wire drive rollers.
The two pressure units have to be adjusted equally. They must not be set at more than "3".
The brake of the wire coil holder can be adjusted with the tightening screw. The wire coil should
not move when the motor brakes to prevent wire windings falling off the coil and kinking or
short circuits occurring. If the brake no longer works, the brake disk must be replaced! The wire
coil must be secured on the wire coil holder with the locking button to prevent it falling off.
Coolant
As soon as the welding torch is connected, the coolant can be filled into the cooling system.
It is absolutely essential that distilled water is used! Do not use chlorinated water or water
with a high mineral content because of its electrical conductivity.
The cooling system cannot be completely emptied. Therefore, to avoid damage from frost,
an anti-freeze agent must always be added. Only use Glykorol EL which is adapted to the
CLOOS cooling units and lso protects against corrosion!
A five litre container of a ready-to-use mixture of two parts distilled water and one part Glykorol
EL in the ratio 2 : 1 (up to -20°C) is supplied with each water-cooled machine. CLOOS ref No.
000 01 01 31.
The water container is filled via the filler neck at the front of the Quinto. Control the level via the
window beside the filler neck. A certain vacuum must remain so that the cooling liquid can
return during water blow through without overflowing. The drain cock at the rear of the machine
must then be opened until the coolant flows out.
7
WARNING! Avoid dry-running of the pump, even for a short period! Otherwise
the shaft seal may be damaged.
It is important that the cooling liquid is absolutely clean. Impurities such as sand or scobs
as well as sticky residues, lubricating grease etc. may damage the pump.
Be careful after torch repairs!
Danger! Glykorol EL
is dangerous if swallowed and harmful to skin! Wash your hands carefully after filling!!
Safety precaution! Keep out of reach of children.
The water hoses are filled when the machine runs. When using very long cable assemblies
(> approx. 15 m), it may be that the cooling water container must be replenished. Please note
the max. coolant quantity!
The tank cap must always be screwed on the filler neck to avoid contamination of the cooling
liquid!
The welding machine must always be switched off when the torch cooling circuit is interrupted,
for example when the welding torch with cable assembly is removed. The water connections
then shut automatically to prevent the coolant running out. The pump produces a dynamic
pressure of 3.0 bar. If this pressure exists for a longer period, the pump and the coolant heat
up to such an extent that damage and leakages may occur.
Water cooling device (option)
When welding at high ambient temperature (> 40°C) with high capacity (> 500 A) the cooling
water for the torch must be cooled by a separate water cooling device, i.e. ST 157/2.
1.5 Commissioning
The machine is switched on with the mains switch (N1) at the back side of the power source.
Switch on the Quinto controller via key "10", ON on the operating panel. The yellow LED L1
on the left side of the operating panel is illuminated. At the same time the Quinto processor
boots and checks the software of the installed components. After approx. 10 sec. the display
shows the main menu and the power source is ready to use.
Interval switch off for pump and fan!
Pump and fan are only switched on when welding. After welding they run for approx. 5 more
min. in order to cool down accordingly. This avoids that in the case of longer downtimes dirty
cooling air is sucked into the machine. Furthermore, noises and current consumption are
reduced.
8
Special safety devices
0
Excess temperature protection
The main transformer, cooling air inlet and outlet, transistor cascade and cooling fan are
protected from overheating by thermal sensors which cut off the welding command. This is
indicated by a yellow LRD L3 on the left side of the operating panel. Do not switch off the
machine so that cooling fan can continue cooling.
When MSG welding the welding wire is charged with the potential positive welding current
whereas the power source minus pole is often connected to the mains protective conductor
via earth connection.
For this reason it is important that the welding wire in the wire drive unit, the wire drum and the
wire dereeler or in its transport section does not touch the mains earth conductor or the counter
potential negative welding current (welding compound).
This kind of short circuit increases the danger of accidents and fires. There is a risk of fire due
to the hot welding wire sections.
Information on the welding process
In case of aluminium, aluminium alloys and stainless steel wires the welding torch must be
equipped with a teflon liner containing 15% graphite. The a/m wire qualities have an oxide
surface which causes considerable wire feed problems for normal steel liners. The sliding
characteristics of plastic liners are much better for the dull oxide surfaces.
Shielded gases
Use the following shielded gases for MSG welding:
MIG = Argon and helium and mixtures of these gases
MAG = CO2, mixtures of argon / CO2 or Argon / CO2 / O2 .
Fuel or fire-enhancing gases causing chemical reactions are forbidden. These gases are for
example acetylene, propane, pure hydrogen or pure oxygen.
Explosion and fire hazard!!!

1.6 EN 50 199:1995
Appendix A (information)
Installation and use

The user is responsible for the installation and operation of the welding machine according to the manufacturer's
instructions. If there is electromagnetic interference, the user is responible for finding a solution with the aid
technically of the manufacturer of the welding machine, e.g. earthing of the weld current circuit, electromagnetic
screening and inlet filter.
A.1 Evaluation of the area

Before installing the welding machine, the user has to evaluate any possible electromagnetic problems in the
surrounding area. The following must be taken into consideration:
a) Other mains supply lines, control lines, signal and telecommunication lines above, below and next to the
welding machine.
b) Radio and TV broadcasting station and receiver.
c) Computer and other control units.
d) Safety devices, e.g. protection for commercial equipment.
e) Health of persons in vicinity, e.g. if using pacemakers and hearing aids.
f) Units for calibration or measement.
g) Resistance to interference of other equipment in the surrounding area. The user must ensure that other
equipment used in the vicinity is electromagnetically compatible. This may require additional safety measures.
h) The time of day when welding or other activities are being carried out.
The extent of the surrounding area to be considered depends on the construction of the building and other
activities which take place there and may exceed the boundaries of the property.
A.2 Procedure to reduce emissions
A.2.1 Mains supply

The manufacturer recommends that the welding equipment is connected to the mains supply. Where there is some
interference, additional safety precautions may be necessary, i.e. filter for the power supply.
A.2.2 Maintenance of the welding equipment

Regular maintenance intervals are recommended by the manufacturer.
A.2.3 Weld cables

Welding cables should be as short as possible and should be run close together on or near to the floor.
A.2.4 Potential equalization

The electric connection of all metal parts in and near a welding machine should be taken into account. The metal
parts connected to the workpiece may increase the risk of an electric shock if the welder touches these metal parts
and the electrode at the same time. The welder should be protected against all these connected metal parts.
A.2.5 Earth connection of workpiece

It must be ensured that earthing of the workpiece does not increase the risk of accident to the user or causes
damage to other electrical equipment.
A.2.6 Screening
Selective screening of other cables and equipment in the vicinity may reduce radiation. Screening of the complete
welding equipment may be considered in special situations.

3. OPERATION QUINTO
3.1 Switch on and off
The current supply of the Quinto is switched on by the mains switch N1 on the backside
1
of the power source, see fig. 1. When the mains switch is in position ON the LED L1
is illuminated on the operating panel. Then the Quinto controller can be switched on by
key "10" and switched off by key "11", see fig. 2.
To switch off the controller, you always have to keep the following order:
1. Push key "11" ( controller is switched off )

2. Mains switch N1 to position OFF.
If the Quinto is directly switched off by the mains switch N1, a data
loss can occur! Therefore, please keep the a/m order for switching
off the controller to avoid unintended data losses.
3.2 Log on, log off
According to the system configuration the setting possibilities and the access rights to
weld data and other settings are clearly defined. The lower bar of the display shows the
softkey functions "Log on", "Log off" and "User status" as highlighted text. After
selection of the softkey "Log on" a password in form of a 6-digit number combination
must be input. Confirm it by pushing the Enter key twice (detailed description in block
4, chapter 6.4 - Personal Access Key) .
A push on the softkey "User status" shows the access rights of the selected user on the
display. Go back to a defined machine state with the softkey "Log off". Log off can also
be executed automatically after a certain time. For this purpose the corresponding
settings have to be made in the menu configuration, PAK identification.
Optionally, the Quinto can be equipped with a user management system and the
respective access key (PAK = Personal Access Key). The PAK is an electronical key
which is placed upon the so-called PAK-Port "25" at the left side of the operating panel
for activation. You can find detailed information on the user management system and the
adaptation of the system to your requirements in chapters 6.4, 5.4.3 and 5.4.4.

Block 1
3.3 Basics for the work with the Quinto

The operation of the Quinto was designed for an easy and efficient entry of weld
parameters and other settings. Entry is made by means of various buttons and the
handwheel of the operating panel. The following chapter describes in detail the way
of entry and is valid for the complete operation of the Quinto.
After switching on the Quinto controller the display shows the current software versions
of the different computer modules. The so-called Software - Version - Management
(SVM) checks and displays the current state and version of every software module of the
Quinto and external components such as remote control and wire feed.
An error list appears if there are any software errors. When the SVM does not find an
error, the main menu will be automatically displayed. For more detailed information
about the SVM please see chapter 6 "Special operating modes", item 6.2.
3.4 Main menu and operating structure of the Quinto

The main menu is the first menu level of the Quinto, see fig. 4.
There are several submenu levels named 1st to 3rd submenu level. By pushing the
Enter key "18" or the handwheel "17" after selection of a certain function it is possible
to change to the next submenu level (e. g. 2nd submenu level).
The following example, see fig. 4, shows that the function "Monitoring" is selected. Via
Enter key or handwheel you reach the next level where the function "screen" can be
selected by turning the handwheel or actuating the cursor "13" or "15". Push again the
Enter key or the handwheel and you reach the next level etc. If the lower bar of the
display shows softkey functions, you can get more functions by actuating the corresponding
softkeys "19" to "23". It is always possible to jump back to the preceding level by means
of the key ESC "12".
The key Home "8" enables you to go back to the main menu from any submenu level,
see fig. 4.

3.5 Function of cursor and handwheel "17"
The active menu item is marked

with a white bar (cursor) on the
display, see fig. 5.
The cursor be moved up or down
by means of the arrow keys
"13" or "15" or by turning the
handwheel "17" to the right (+)
or to the left (-). Please note that
the up and down movement of
the cursors by means of the
handwheel "17" is possible in
the main menu and a few
submenus only if there is no
adjustment of data or values.
Fig. 5
Moving the cursor with the handwheel
The handwheel gets new functions when there are changings of the values, data or other
settings or adjustments.
Fig. 6 shows the change of the pulse height in the main parameter menu as example
for the adjustment of numerical values.
To adjust the pulse height actuate the following keys in the described order:
1. Key " 3 " - menu main parameter appears, see fig. 6 a
2. Key " 15 " - press it four times and the cursor (white bar) jumps to pulse height,
see fig. 6 b.
3. Turn the handwheel "17" to the right and the pulse height increases. Turn it to the
left and the pulse height reduces, see fig. 6 c

Block 1
Fig. 6 Changing the pulse height
Attention!
All adjustable parameter sets of the Quinto are instantly active, i. e. when you weld
with the Quinto and change a parameter set by handwheel, the new parameters are
immediately valid. There is a direct online access to the welding parameters.

Block 1
Attention !
There is no online access when working in offline mode, see chapter 4.8.
By means of the handwheel you can change the weld parameters and also the settings
like "ON" or "OFF". The example in fig. 4 demonstrates it:
Several parameters in the 2nd submenu level can be selected with the softkey channel
settings. Place the cursor on the menu item Wire and turn the handwheel "17" in + or -
direction thus selecting the setting "OFF", "Signal group 1", "Signal group 2", "Abort
group 1", "Abort group 2".
In the 2nd submenu level it is only possible to change the setting from Wire to e. g.
Current in the menu channel settings by means of the arrow keys "13" resp. "15". To
change these settings the user must be logged on with his password and has to dispose
of the necessary access rights
3.6 Softkeys
Each menu appearing in the display

"24" has five rectangular display fields
at the bottom of the display which are
allocated to the softkeys "19 " to "23".
According to the selected menu they
may have a function in this display. By
pressing the corresponding softkey
you can select the displayed function.
If there is no function in the display
field, the corresponding softkey does
not dispose of a function.
Fig. 7 Softkeys
Attention!
The softkeys on the real operating panel are not numbered !!.

Block 1
The texts within the display fields for the softkey function and other functions of the menu
can be highlighted or dark-traced. Highlighted functions can be executed, dark-traced
functions cannot be executed. Some menus make it necessary to increase the number
1
of softkeys because of the multitude of setting possibilities.
In these cases you can go to another menu page by means of the softkey "19" with the
function "Cont. ...1/2", as shown in fig. 8.
The softkeys "19" to "23" have then new functions. Return to the previous menu page by
softkey "19" "Cont. ...2/2".
Fig. 8, softkey "19" to go to the 2nd page of a menu.
3.7 Help
The operating panel of the Quinto II offers the key "?" (Help). You can call up the help menu
from every menu level via the key "9". For example: if you are in the menu "Secondary
parameters", key "5", and you call up the help menu by key "9", you get every
information available in regard of the secondary parameters. There is a help menu for
each menu. The help menus are allocated to numbered help files (e.g. 50.htx). It is
possible to write the information for the welder into the help menu, e.g. which data he
has to use for certain welding tasks or operations.

Block 1
The help menu can only be quit by pressing the ESC key. You have two possibilities to
update the help menu:
Help file already exists - you wish to optimise the existing text:
- Call up the help menu (key "?") and place a formatted disk into the floppy disk drive.
- Press softkey "Save file". The help text is saved with a corresponding help text
number onto the disk. ( *. htx)
- Change the text on a PC by means of an editor ( Editor, Word, etc.) and save again
(e.g. for the main menu, 11. htx).
The file name must have the extension *.htx ! !
- Insert the disk in the floppy disk drive of the Quinto and load the changed file into
the Quinto memory in the menu Configuration / load update.
The exact procedure of the function "Load update" is described in chapter

5.1.3. "Load update" can only be executed with the user status Configure.
The help file does not yet exist in the Quinto.
- You are in any menu of the Quinto and press the key "9" (help). The display shows
the message
" Help text must be added! ".
- Actuate the softkey "Save file". The message "Error when opening a file!"
appears and the upper third of the display shows the name of the appropriate help
file, e.g. 50.htx, 11.htx etc. Please write the file number down because it is the
allocation of the help text file to the currently called menu and thus very important.

Block 1
Following working steps on the PC
- The subdirectory Help is created on a disk and a subdirectory German (for the
German speaking countries) is created in the directory Help.
1
- Write a corresponding help text by means of the editor Wordpad or Editor
(Windows Standard). The font should be Courier new, type size 10.
- After completion of the text input save the file on the disk under Help / German as
text file.
(Attention! Use the file name you wrote down before!)
For example file name: 50.htx, file type: text document.
After actuation of the button "Save" there may be another demand for the file type.
Insert here also Text document. The file name must have the extension *. htx!
- The disk with the help text is now ready and can be transferred into the Quinto with
the function "Load update".
The exact procedure of the function "Load update" is described in chapter

5.1.3. "Load update" can only be executed with the user status Configure.

4. WELD PARAMETERS QUINTO

4.1 Input of weld parameters
The weld parameters are entered via the keys "1" to "5" of the operating panel, see
fig. 9. You can jump to the requested weld parameter function with the keys "1" to "5"
at any time from any menu level or any function. All data of the 5 menus can be saved. The
data are comprised in a weld parameter list. Chapter 4.5 describes in detail how to save
and load lists.
IMPORTANT, please consider the following:
2
Online access to weld parameters
If you are in the basic, start, main, end or secondary parameter menu, the menu item
resp. data set being marked by the cursor is active! If you change this value or parameter
during welding, the welding process is directly influenced. This means that there is a
direct online access to the selected weld parameters.
Basic parameters
Start parameters
Main parameters
End crater parameters
Secondary parameters
Fig. 9 , keys "1" to "5"
Example:
You are in the menu Main parameters, the cursor is on the menu item frequency. By
turning the handwheel "17" in + or - direction you can change the frequency value
during welding. The changed frequency becomes effective immediately in the welding
process. It is not necessary to confirm this correction by the enter key "18 " or the
handwheel" 17 ".

(OOE), see chapter 4.8.
4.2 Basic parameters (for the MSG welding)

Press key "1" to enter the menu "Basic parameters" where you can select the following
weld parameters:
1. Process
2. Kind of operation
3. Wire diameter
4. Material
5. Gas
6. Variant
4.2.1 Process
Here you select the weld process which are required for your tasks. The Quinto places
the following welding processes at disposal:
- MSG Normal
- MSG Pulse U / I
- MSG Pulse I / I
- MSG Brazing normal
- MSG Brazing Pulse U / I
- MSG Brazing Pulse I / I
- Electrode
- Strip Normal
- Strip Pulse U / I
- Strip Pulse I / I
Fig. 10 Basis parameters
Select the process via the handwheel "17". Depending on the selected weld process
the menu basic parameters can differ considerably from fig. 10 because the process
MSG Brazing Pulse U / I requires other parameters than the process MSG Normal.
(MSG = Metal Shield Gas welding)
When you first select a material-gas-variant combination and later a weld process
it is possible to select a combination with an incorrect welding technology.
Page 2 Operating manual QUINTO, V2.30

Block 2
In this case the display material-gas-variant blinks, the welding process cannot be
started. The blinking is due to an unusual combination of a process (MSG Brazing
Pulse U / I) with the material (Fe) and the gas (82% Ar, 18% C0 2).
The blinking can only be stopped by the correct selection of the process and material-
gas-variant combination.
After selection of a process and

a material-gas-variant
combination which already
2
disposes of a characteristic, the
word S Y N E R G Y
appears on the display, see fig.
10a. You can only work with the
Quinto in synergy mode when a
characteristic exists.
(VSM = Variable Synergic Mode,
chapter 4.6)
Fig. 10a Basic parameters with synergy
4.2.2 Operating modes

The following operating modes as per list 1 are available.
The applications depend on the welding task and the personal requirements of the
weldor.
2-cycles
2-cylces is the easiest operating mode, the arc is switched on by pushing and holding
the torch button. The arc is switched off after release of the button. If a time is indicated
in the end crater parameter, it is processed after the release of the button.
4-cycles
The operating mode 4-cycles is recommended to be used for longer weld seams.
The arc is switched on by pushing the torch button. Now release the button because the
arc is on. Push the button again and the arc is switched off. If a time is indicated in the
end crater parameter, it is processed after the release of the button.

Block 2
Super-4-cycles
In the operating mode Super-4-cycles a start program and an end crater program can be
called up. Push and hold the torch button and the start program runs. After release of the
torch button there is a change to the main parameter set. Push and hold again the torch
button and the end crater program is started. The release of the button switches off the
arc. This procedure takes place if no times are indicated in the start and end crater
program. If times are input, the upper time limit of the different functions can be
determined.
Program
At the moment the same as Super-4-cycles!
Spot welding
This operating mode works similar to the mode 4-cycles.
Start welding by pushing the torch button. The spot welding time starts with the signal "Arc
on". Normally the process is automatically stopped after the indicated time. The torch
button can be released at any time but this has no function. Welding can be stopped
premature by pressing the torch button again.
External
The operating mode External releases and controls the welding process via a separate
controller ( SPS ).

4.2.3 Wire diameter
The following wire diameters for solid or flux-cored wires are available:
0.6 mm; 0.8 mm; 0.9 mm ; 1.0 mm ; 1.2 mm ; 1.4 mm ; 1.6 mm ; 2.0 mm and
2.4 mm.
The wire geometries for strip wire electrodes are available in the following dimensions:
3.75 x 0.5 mm; 4.00 x 0.5 mm: 4.00 x 0.6 mm; 4.5 x 0.5 mm; 4.5 x 0.6 mm

Block 2
4.2.4 Material / gas / variant

Here you adjust the combination material (as standard Fe, AlSi, AlMg, CrNi) and
selected shielding gas (gas).
The most usual combinations of argon, CO2 or O2 can be selected as shielding gas.
It is not possible to select an incorrect combination of material and gas because this
combination is preset by the software.
The incorrect input of "process" and "material / gas / variant combination" is
possible under certain circumstances therefore the processor makes a plausibility
check.
If the selection of "material / gas / variant" was made first and the "process"
was changed next, it is possible to select an incorrect combination. In this case the menu
item "material / gas / variant" blinks as signal for an incorrect selection.
The blinking can only be stopped by selecting the menu items "process" and
"material / gas / variant" correctly.
If you select the "process" first and change then the menu item "material / gas /
variant", an incorrect selection is not possible because the Quinto only shows the
values of "material / gas / variant" which are permitted for the respective process.
4.2.5 Variant
A synergy characteristic is made for a certain combination of process / material and

gas, e. g. for MSG Pulse U / I, material Fe and the shielding gas 82 % Ar / 18 % CO2,
see fig. 11.
By means of the variant it is possible to save up to 36 different synergy characteristics
(variants) for the same combination of MSG Pulse U / I, material Fe and the shielding
gas 82 % Ar / 18 % CO2, see fig.11.
The variants can be created specifically for every customer using a PC and an
interface for a Compact-Flash-Card (e. g. PCMCIA interface at the laptop or separate
adapter card via USB interface on the PC).
The exact procedure is described in the special documentation
" CLOOS Innovation, Quinto - Creation of synergy characteristics on the PC ".
It is absolutely necessary to be familiar with the computer and the Windows operating
surface!

Block 2
Fig. 11 shows two different synergy characteristics (variants) for the process MSG
Pulse U / I, material Fe and gas 82 % Argon / 18 % CO2.
They only differ from the function variant.

Abb. 11, Variante
For example, variant a is provided for welding in normal position (here named as
standard).
Variant b shows a synergy characteristic for vertical-down weld.
More examples: variants (synergy characteristics) for different wire manufacturers, wire
qualities, special welding positions or other customer-related production conditions.

4.3 Start parameters, main parameters, end crater parameters
Go to the menus start, main and end crater parameters where you enter the changeable
welding parameters which directly influence the welding process via the keys "2", "3"
and "4".
The menu structures only differ from the selection of the menu item process in the menu
basic parameters, key "1".
The start parameter for the process "MSG Normal" has another structure than the start
parameter for the process "MSG Pulse U / I" or "MSG Pulse I / I".
When selecting the same process from the basic menu, the start, main and end crater
menus are identical.

The serious differences regarding the menu item process are described on the
following pages. The weld parameters are entered as follows:
- Move the cursor with the arrow keys "13" and "15".
- Enter the values and settings by turning (+ / -) the handwheel "17".
4.3.1 MSG Normal

Set the welding data of wire feed, welding
voltage and self in the start, main and
end crater menus, see fig. 12.
The self is only effective in the short arc
range. It restricts the rate of rise of forward
current in the arc. For the weldor the arc
becomes "harder" or "softer".
The slope of the characteristic curve

refers to V / 100 A. To improve the welding
characteristics it can be useful to select
a slightly dropping characteristic, for
example 3 V / 100 A.
Abb 12, MSG Normal
The power limitation is particularly useful for the spatter reduction in the transition and
the long arc under CO2.
Do not enter a power limitation value which is too low because a power reduction which
is too high can cause the extinction of the arc.
When welding steel in the short arc range with wire speeds between approx. 6 and 9 m/
min an appropriate power limitation can reduce the spatter formation. The optimum
setting depends on different technical influences and has to be determined in practice.
The functions time, ramp and set value carriage are described in chapter 4.3.4.

Block 2
4.3.2 MSG Pulse U / I , MSG Brazing Pulse U / I

and MSG Strip Pulse U / I
When selecting this process the pulse

parameters with U / I characteristic for
the menus start, main and end crater
parameter can be set. The following
parameters can be selected: wire
speed, frequency, base current, pulse
time, pulse voltage, pulse form, time,
ramp and set value carriage, see fig. 13.
2
A total of 10 different preprogrammed
pulse forms (geometries) are available:
very steep, steep, flat, very flat and special
1 to 6. The pulse forms are stored on the
flash card. Each pulse form can be
adapted to the respective welding
requirements, if necessary (see special
documentation "CLOOS Innovation,
Generation of pulse geometry on
the PC"). Abb 13, MSG Puls U / I , MSG Puls Löten
U / I und MSG Puls Band U / I
4.3.3 MSG Pulse I / I , MSG Brazing Pulse I / I

and MSG Strip Pulse U / I
When selecting this process the pulse

parameters with I / I characteristic for
the menus start, main and end crater
parameter can be set. The following
parameters can be selected: wire
speed, frequency, base current, pulse
time, pulse current, pulse form, arc length,
time, ramp and set value carriage. A total
of 10 different preprogrammed pulse
forms (geometries) are also available
but their courses differ from the U / I pulse
forms. An adaptation of the I / I pulse
forms is also possible. Contrary to the
U / I characteristic, the I / I characteristic
does not dispose of the so-called
"Internal self-balancing".
Abb 14, MSG Puls I / I , MSG Löten I / I ,

MSG Band Puls U / I

Block 2
Therefore the arc length is infinitely adjustable in this menu. The arc length control is
switched off at 0 %, 1% sets the "shortest arc", 100 % sets the "longest arc". Set the
arc length to approx. 50 - 60 % to obtain a realistic adjustment.
Time, ramp and set value carriage are described in the following chapters.
4.3.4 Time and ramp
The parameters time and ramp are closely linked to each other for the change-over from
start to main parameter and from main to end crater parameter. The functions time and
ramp are available in the following lists:
- Start parameter list

- Main parameter list
- End crater parameter list
The function time determines how quick you can change from one list to another. The
change from one list to another can be made via a jump function, i. e. the new list becomes
active without any delay. If the process requires a slower change from one parameter to
the other, you can go to the new parameter via a time-controlled ramp function, e.g. in

The time input for the function ramp must not exceed the time input for the function time!
If it is necessary during welding to change over to another main parameter list, the
processor recognises that no start or end crater parameters are required.

Block 2
Welding starts with the start parameters of list 1. The change-over to the main
parameters of list 1 is made by means of the ramp function. Another ramp function
enables the selection of the main parameters of list 2 by tipping on the torch button or
by digital program selection. Repeat this procedure and the main parameters of list 3
are activated via ramp function. After the expiry of a certain time the end crater
parameters of list 3 are called via ramp function and the welding process is stopped.
4.3.5 Set value carriage

The Quinto offers you the possibility to control an external carriage or a turntable. The set
2
value for the travel speed can be indicated from 0 -100 %. The percentage indication
corresponds to the output of 0 - 10 volt D.C. The start conditions are input in the menu
secondary parameters. A start command can be executed as follows:
- with welding start ----> Carriage starts immediately without delay.
- after ignition ----------> Carriage starts only after message Arc on.
- after delay -------------> Carriage starts only after expiry of a defined time.
Carriage and turntable can be configured and calibrated in the menu configuration /
dimensional units, see block 3, chapter 5.4.7 Dimensional units.
The electric control is made via the OMI module.

( OMI = Open Machine Interface )

Block 2
4.4 Secondary parameters
You can enter parameters which are not directly involved in the welding process in the
menu Secondary parameters. Fig. 15 shows the menu Secondary parameters and
the functions which can be set.
4.4.1 Gas preflow
You can set a gas preflow time for a safe

and correct arc ignition in case of MSG
welding. This is very useful when welding
high-alloy materials, aluminium and
aluminium alloys. The intention is to keep
the environmental air away from the
welding resp. ignition position because
oxygen (O2 ) can cause pore formation in
the seam and oxidation of the base
material. The good ionisation of argon
mixed shielding gases makes it easier
to start the arc ignition.
Fig. 15, Secondary parameters

4.4.2 Inching-in
This function also serves to improve the arc starting characteristics. The welding wire is
fed with a defined speed before igniting the arc. After the arc has been ignited, there is
a change-over to the higher wire feed speed.
4.4.3 Spatterfree ignition
The function "Spatterfree ignition" reduces the spatter formation in the arc during ignition.
The wire is fed with a lower inching-in speed until the wire tip touches the workpieces and
the power source recognises a short-circuit. The wire electrode is withdrawn resp.
fed into the opposite direction. A "mini-arc" is created with approx. 8 Amp current flow.
If the arc voltage of this mini-arc exceeds approx. 10 volt, there is a change-over to the
normal welding parameters. These processes are made in milliseconds.
4.4.4 Burnback
The wire burnback serves for the concerted wire melt-off at the weld seam end so that
the wire does not dip in the liquid end crater and stick. It also serves to the concerted
detachment of the last liquid metal drop after completion of the welding process so that
the wire tip remains sharp. The drop detachment and the burnback to the defined wire
length is made by specific current pulses which improves the restarting ability of the
welding process considerably.

Block 2
The lower the set percentage value is, the longer the free wire electrode end is after arc
extinction.
0 % = Wire sticks in the end crater, 100 % = Wire sticks in the contact tube. Realistic
value is approx. 60 - 80 %.
4.4.5 Gas postflow
The gas postflow allows for the protection of the welding spot against oxygen, similar to
the gas preflow. Depending on the arc power a more or less big weld pool arises. The
gas postflow protects the hot base material from the environmental air until the pool
solidifies thus increasing the weld seam quality.
2
4.4.6 Retraction distance
This function can be used for robot applications. The wire burnback is activated after the
command "Arc off". The wire burns back to a defined value as described in chapter 4.4.3.
If there is no additional drive (e.g. CLOOS Duo Drive) for the wire fixing, the movements
of the cable assembly and the mechanical slip can make it possible that too much wire
will be pressed out of the contact tube or that the wire disappears in the contact tube. Both
situations can cause considerable ignition problems which can be avoided by adapting
the wire to the required length with the aid of the function "Retraction distance". The
optimum retraction distance must be determined by tests.
4.4.7 Return carriage
This function moves a carriage back to its start position at a certain speed (control
voltage 0-10 volt), see chapter 4.3.5.
4.4.8 Start carriage / delay time
The Quinto offers the possibility to control an external carriage for the automated
guidance of the welding torch. You can execute a start command as follows:
- with welding start ---> Carriage starts immediately without delay.
- after ignition ----------> Carriage starts only after message Arc on.
- after delay -------------> Carriage starts only after expiry of a defined time.
See chapter 4.3.5.

4.5 Load and Save weld parameter lists
It is the philosophy of the Quinto series that the weld parameters are saved and
administered in so-called weld parameter lists. Every information of the menus Basic,
start, main, end crater and secondary parameters are saved in these lists. The
Quinto II is able to save and administer 20,000 ( ! ) weld parameter lists, i.e. the memory
capacity of the Quinto II is 80 times higher than that of the Quinto I (255 job memories).
2
4.5.1 Load list
Key "6" load, key "7" save, key "18" Enter
Keys "13" to "16"
Move the cursor - handwheel
Loading of weld parameter lists is

activated on the operating panel with key
"6". The menu "Load list" appears on
the display where all the weld parameter
lists (hereinafter referrred to as "lists")
being available in the Quinto are shown.
The current display only shows 10 weld
lists, see fig. 16. The lists are numbered
in ascending order (1 - 20,000). The
corresponding list name is placed behind
the list number. You can freely select the
name and insert it by means of an editing
function, see chapter 4.5.2. To select the
lists, move the cursor by handwheel "17"
or keys "13" and "15". When the cursor
is on the top or the bottom of the display, Abb.16, load parameter list
the lists are automatically scrolled up or
down. Use the softkey "20" and "21" to quickly find high list numbers. These softkeys
allow you to select the lists in steps of 100 ( + / - ).

Block 2
Example:
Your cursor is on list 1. When you actuate the softkey "List +100", the cursor jumps to
list 101, tipping on the softkey "List -100" takes you back to list 1.
The list which is highlighted by the cursor is loaded into the main memory of
the Quinto and becomes "active" by tipping on the handwheel "17" or by
pressing the Enter key "18".
Many lists display the active list additionally as Active: < List number > and
List name, e. g. in the weld parameter menus, the main menu etc.
As the Quinto offers you a total of 20,000 lists which can be displayed it is necessary to
quickly move the cursor to higher list numbers. This can be effected by quickly turning
the handwheel "17". By quickly turning the handwheel several times, the cursor
counts up or down the active list number. The screen mask is not built up until the cursor
stops. Then the screen mask will show the correct list numbers. This procedure
accelerates the access to high-numbered lists.
Lists without a name are shown in the menu "Load list" as No. < > " ..................". If you
load or activate such a list, e. g. list 10 in fig. 16, it appears on the display as Active : 10
under the name " ..............".
Delete an active list with softkey "22". Before deletion the inquiry appears: "Yes" -
softkey "23" or "No" - softkey "19".

Block 2
4.5.2 Save lists
Actuate key "7", Save to save weld

parameter lists (hereinafter referrred to
as "lists"). The menu "Save list"
appears, see fig. 17. The design and
structure is the same as with the menu
"Load list".
Lists without a name are shown in the

menu "Save list" as No. < > " ...............".
If you save such a list, e. g. list 9 in fig. 17,
2
it appears on the display as Active : 9
under the name " ..............".
Abb. 17, save " No Name "
In fig. 17a the list no. 4 named "Pulse

U / I 1,2 Fe 6m " is active. In the case
that you changed the weld parameters in
the active list 4 during welding, there are
the following 3 saving possibilities:
1. Save the changed list with the same

list name and the same list no.
This means that you wish to save the

new, changed weld parameters as list 4.
The old values of list 4 are overwritten
and updated.
- Place the cursor to list number 4.

Abb.17a, save list
- Then push key "18", Enter or the handwheel "17"
The old values in list 4 are overwritten with the new weld parameters, the list name
remains unchanged! After saving there is a jump back to the main menu!

Block 2
2. Save list under new list number (copy)
You wish to keep the original weld

parameters of list 4 and to save the
changed parameters under the same
list name at another list place.
- Place the cursor on an empty list

number which are marked as
" ............... " or "No Name ...........",
e.g. list 8.
- Then push key "18", Enter or the

handwheel "17". The data are saved
(copied) on list place no. 8 with the
a/m list name, see fig. 18.

Important:
The list to be copied (here list 4) must always be "active" before
starting copying.
3. Save list under new list number and new list name.
- Place the cursor on an empty list

number, e.g. list 10.
- Press softkey "23", Name, to input a

new list name.
- Then you actuate via the softkeys "20"

After selection of a character, move the active cursor to the right with the arrow key
"14" and to the left with key "16" and enter another character with the aid of the
handwheel. Repeat this procedure until the requested list name has been entered.
Then you can save list 8 by actuating the key "Enter" or tipping on the handwheel "17".
After saving there is an automatic jump back to the main menu where a new active list
no. 8 is displayed.
4.5.3 Delete list
An active list can be deleted with softkey "22".

Place the cursor (highlighted) on the list to be deleted by means of the arrow keys "13"
or "15" or the handwheel "17". Then actuate softkey "22", Delete list. Before deletion
the inquiry appears: "Yes" - softkey "23" or "No" - softkey "19".
4.6 Info
The softkey "Info" is available in the menus basic, start, main, end crater and secondary
parameters. In some menus it is to be found on the second softkey page (softkey "19",
cont. ... 1 / 2 ).
This menu allows you to store a text as information in regard of the activated list. The text
can be selected freely and can contain information on the welding list or special remarks
of the operator. 4 lines with 39 blanks are available. To enter an information in the
parameter list, proceed as follows:
- Change to the menu "Disk"
- Select the menu item "Save list".

Block 2
- Select the parameter list for which you wish to create an info-text by means of the
handwheel "17".
- Tip on key "18", Enter or handwheel "17".

The list is copied on the disk (*.LIS).
The following steps have to be effected on a PC
- Use the Windows program "Editor" (Programs/Accessories) to open the

corresponding parameter list (e.g. 100.LIS) on the disk in the submenu List.
- Now you can enter a text in the 4 lines. Pay attention that the line length between
the quotation marks "........" does not exceed 39 characters.
- Save the file with "Save file" (name.LIS) and quit the program "Editor".
- Insert the disk in the disk drive of the Quinto and select the function "Load list"
in the menu "Disk".
- Select your list from the table of contents of the disk and actuate key "18", Enter
or the handwheel "17". The display shows File already exists! Overwrite
Y / N. Confirm with softkey "23", Yes and the parameter list is transferred to the
memory of the Quinto.
- Change to the menu "Load list" by means of the key "6" and activate the
changed list again by tipping on key "18", Enter or handwheel "17".
Now your statements are available in the menus basic, start, main, end crater and
secondary parameters when the softkey "Info" is actuated.
This program function is available when you dispose of the access level
"Program" or "Configurate".

Illustration 5, Diagram synergy characteristics
The power of the MSG welding essentially depends on the wire feed speed. If you
increase this speed during welding, you actually increase the electrical arc power
(current x voltage). When you change the wire feed speed you have to adapt all other weld
parameters which directly influence the welding process, e. g. frequency, pulse height or
base current. If you do not adapt the parameters, the arc length changes which has a
direct effect on the seam quality.
The separate re-adjustment of the individual weld parameters is not necessary in the
synergy operating mode (so-called single-knop operation). You only change the wire
feed and the power source takes the other parameters from the synergy characterists for
frequency, base current etc. In synergy mode the wire feed is the command variable for
all other parameters. The course of the synergy characteristics mainly depends on
material and gas. When you have selected a corresponding "Process" and "Material-
Gas-Variant combination" in the "Basic parameters" and when the memory
contains a characteristic (Display "CHARACTERISTIC"), the menus start, main and
end crater parameters offer you the "Variable Synergie Mode" (VSM).

Block 2
You know that the synergy mode is active when the text in the field of softkey "23",
Synergy On/Off is highlighted. When VSM is not available because the power source
does not dispose of a suitable characteric, the text is dark-traced.
VSM allows you to set the weld parameters in synergy mode (single-knob operation) and
to optimise them in the single parameter mode.
To use the synergy mode switch it on by tipping on the softkey "23", Synergy ON. Then
place the cursor to menu item Wire speed and adjust the value for the wire speed via
handwheel "17", see fig. 20 a.
According to the synergy characteristic each other parameter, e.g. frequency, base
current, pulse time and pulse height, is adapted. The weld parameters refer to the
welding process which has been selected in the menu Basic parameters.
After having set the optimum value for the wire speed you can select each other
parameter set via the keys "15" and "13" and individually change it via handwheel "17",
see fig. 20 b. In this case only the selected parameter changes although the display
field of softkey "23" shows "Synergy ON".
When you place the cursor back to wire speed and change the value once more all weld
parameters change at the same time again. When the weld parameters shall be reset
to their original values, tip twice on the softkey "23", see fig. 20 c.
Switch off the synergy mode with a single tip, switch it ON again with another tip. The
original synergy values are reset automatically. Then you have again the possibility to
optimise the parameters individually.
The pure single parameter mode is "Synergy OFF". This mode only allows to change
the wire speed, each other weld parameter remains unchanged. The wire speed is no
longer the command variable for the other weld parameters. But you can change to the
synergy mode at any time. After pressing the softkey "23" the parameters immediately
adapt according to the synergy characteristic.
In the single parameter mode "Synergy OFF" the weld parameter windows (start, main,
end crater parameters) show the present welding voltage and the present welding
current during welding. When the arc is not on, both values are set to 0, see fig. 20 c left.
In synergy mode the display changes to Plate thickness (mm) and the expected
calculated welding current, fig. 20 c right. These values are approximations which can
slightly deviate from the real conditions.

VSM only functions when the curson is on WIRE SPEED!

Block 2
b) If the cursor is not placed on wire speed, each parameter (here frequency) can be
changed separately although VSM is switched on(single parameter mode).
c) If some parameters have been changed, you can reset the original synergy values
by tipping twice on softkey "23".
4.8 Online / Offline Editing ( OOE )
Online / Offline Editing (OOE) allows you to input new weld parameters or to change
them during welding without influencing the current welding process. The OOE mode
is available in all 5 main menus (Basic, start, main, end crater and secondary
parameters). Activate OOE via softkey "23" or "22", depending on the menu. The
purpose of this function is for example the change of weld parameters during automatic
operation on a robot system.
So you are able to set the current list to "Offline" during automatic operation and to
change parameters without influencing the robot user program which is processed in
the background. The same applies for a weldor during manual operation. The following
example shows this function:
a ) Fig.21, Online / Offline b)
You are in the main parameter menu, see fig, 21a . The weldor or the robot is just working
with a wire speed of 13.50 m / min. In mode "Online Edit ON" the parameters which
are valid at the moment and which concern the welding process are displayed. If you now
changed the wire speed to 10.30 m / min e. g., this change would immediately be
visible in the welding process.

Block 2
Actuate now softkey "22", Online Edit OFF and you can change the wire speed to
10.30 m / min without influence on the weld process, see fig. 21 b. The weldor or the
robot is still working with the original wire feed speed of 13.50 m / min. You can change
every parameter in Offline mode, also without influence on the current weld process.
Furthermore, it is also possible for the weldor via torch remote control or for the robot via
list selection to activate new lists and to continue welding with new data. This does not
affect the weld parameters being created in Offline mode or just processed. After
completion of the input in Offline mode you can save the data as new list via key "7".
When you go back to Online-Mode ON, the display shows the current parameter sets.
Attention !!

When the Online or Offline mode is selected, it is availabe in every menu!
4.9 Alu Plus
The AluPlus function is suitable for materials like aluminium or CrNi steel. The function
AluPlus can improve the root penetration, the weld ripples and the gap bridging and can
also control the energy input within certain limits. This requires the definition of a 2nd.
parameter set consisting of base current, pulse time, pulse height, pulse frequency and
duty factor. In practise, the two weld parameters oscillate between the set parameters
with a defined frequency. The duty factor determines the duration of the 1st. to the 2nd.
parameter set within a period (Hz). The frequency is adjustable from 0.1 to 10 Hz. The
duty factor is between 20 and 80 %.
The function principle is shown in illustration 6. The AluPlus parameters can be higher
or lower than the weld parameters from the menus start, main or end crater parameters
depending on the welding task.
The AluPlus menu is shown at the example of the main parameter menu. AluPlus is on
the 2nd. page and is set to "AluPlus active On" by turning the handwheel "17".
Fig. 22 shows the weld data sets. Base current, pulse time and pulse height resp. pulse
current are data sets from the main parameter menu and cannot be changed in the
AluPlus menu. Only the 2nd. parameter sets can be changed here.

Block 2
Activate the AluPlus functions in the start, main and end crater menu via softkey "21".
They are only available together with the processes MSG Pulse U / I or MSGPulse

4.10 Auto Save
The function "Auto. Save" is an automatic memory function for weld parameter lists and
is available in the start, main and end crater menu. You reach the softkey function
"Auto.Save ON / OFF" via softkey "19", " Cont...1/ 2".
The purpose of the function "AutoSave ON" is to save the currently changed weld
parameter list if there is a new list call for another weld parameter list. It does not matter
if the lists are changed by a robot controller or by the operator in case of manual welding.
In the case of "AutoSave OFF" the current list will not be saved. The weld parameters
which were changed during welding are lost when changing the list again!!

these values you find the measuring
values for wire feed, gas flow, water
flow, water temperature, motor
current CK and motor current CDD,
see fig. 35.
Fig. 35, Menu Measuring values
The values wire feed and gas flow are only displayed in the SD version of the Quinto (SD
= weld data monitoring). The normal Quinto design only shows 0 for these two values.
Water flow means the flow quantity of the torch cooling circuit and should be at least 1.5

5.3 Logbook
After selection of the menu item Logbook in the main menu you find two logbooks, the
system logbook and the SD logbook. These logbooks shall mainly record important
events during the operation of the Quinto.
5.3.1 System logbook
The system logbook records error

3
messages, failures of system parts and
the storage and deletion of weld
parameter lists. In connection with the
PAK user administration the log-on and
log-off of users with corresponding
access levels, date and time are
recorded. The date and time indications
refer to the internal Quinto clock, see
chapter 5.4.2. The logbook can become
very extensive after some time, therefore,
the softkeys "23", Beginning of file
and "22", End of file are available to
find entries more easily. Scroll through
the entries by means of the handwheel
"17", see fig. 38.
Fig. 38, System logbook

Block 3
Depending on the working intensity the system logbook can become very extensive
which influences the working speed of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor). Therefore it
is recommended to limit the maximum system logbook size (description see chapter 5.4,
Configuration). Delete the system logbook in the menu Logbook with softkey "23",
Delete system logbook. The execution of this function requires the PAK access level
Program or Configure, see chapter 5.4.4.
5.3.2 SD logbook
Error messages and documentation

entries are recorded in the SD logbook.
The entry quantity is determined in the
menu Monitoring, Global settings,
Seam documentation.
To easily differ error entries from
documentation entries the line of an error
message starts with one arrow and the
line of a documentation entry with two
arrows. The date and time indications
refer to the internal Quinto clock, see
chapter 5.4.2. The logbook can become
very extensive after some time, therefore,
the softkeys "23", Beginning of file
and "22", End of file are available to
find entries more easily.
Via softkey "21", All / Errors / Docu you canFig.39, SD -whether
determine Logbuchonly error entries or only
documentation entries are displayed. "All" shows both types of entry.
Depending on the quality requirement the SD logbook can become very extensive which
influences the working speed of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor). Therefore it is
recommended to limit the maximum SD logbook size (description see chapter 5.4,
Configuration). Delete the SD logbook in the menu Logbook with softkey "22",
Delete SD logbook. The execution of this function requires the PAK access level

5.4 Configuration
The basic settings of the Quinto II are made in the menu Configuration. To protect the
Quinto from unauthorised access some menu items are blocked according to access
level. In this case, the corresponding menu function keys are dark-traced. Only a log-on
with a certain access level can release them. When the corresponding menu items are
highlighted, you can use the respective functions.
All items of the menu Configure are only available with the highest access level
"Configure"!
You can select the following functions in the configuration menu of the Quinto:
Display
Clock, PAK identification
PAK user administration
Robot - Serial

The following chapters describe the menu functions in detail.
5.4.1Configuration Display
The contrast can be infinitely adjusted

from 0 to 100 % in the display menu via
handwheel "17". When the contrast has
been changed, the new setting must be
saved via softkey "23", Save. If you quit
the menu without saving by means of the
ESC key "12", the previous setting
remains unchanged! If there is no input
for 10 minutes, the screen saver switches
on automatically, see fig. 40.

5.4.2 Configuration Clock
Set the system time and date in the

menu Configuration Clock by means
of softkey "23", Set clock. After
actuating softkey "23" the cursor is
placed on the day of the date display
and the time is stopped.
Adjust the day with handwheel "17"
and move then the cursor to the next
place (month) via arrow keys "13" to
"16". Continue this procedure until date
and time are set and save these new
settings with softkey "22", Save.
Now the system clock is running
again. If you are not able to change the
settings of the mask "Clock" in menu
Configure, you do not dispose of the Fig. 41, Date and time
required access authorisation (at least

level after switch on
II
MÖGLICHKEITEN
Here you determine the operating mode in which the Quinto starts after switch on via key
"10". By means of the handwheel "17" you can set the following:
Automatic: The Quinto starts in automatic mode when it has been switched on without
log-on by PAK or password, i.e. you can call each list but you cannot change any weld
parameters.
Manual welding with correction: when the Quinto is switched on without log-on via
PAK or password, the manual welding with correction is allowed. This means: welding
with every list is possible but the weld parameters can only be changed within a defined
range of correction.
Program: when it has been switched on without log-on via PAK or password, it is
possible to program, i. e. you are able to change and create lists and weld parameters.
Configuration: when it has been switched on without log-on via PAK or password, there
is no restriction to correct the parameters and data that are available for the user.
5.4.3.2 Take-over of key data ( Option )
This menu item allows you to select the functions:
3
- permitted
- not permitted
The following example shows the function "Take-over of key data":
Your production department is equipped with two Quintos, Quinto 1 and Quinto 2.
The weldors A and B are entered in the PAK user administration of both Quintos. The
difference is that Take-over of key data is set to "Not permitted" in Quinto 1 and to
"Permitted" in Quinto 2.
Quinto 1 -----> Not permitted

Quinto 2 -----> Permitted
If now a third weldor C wishes to log on with his PAK key at Quinto 1, the display shows
the error message Access denied.
The reason is that weldor C is not entered in the PAK user administration and the Quinto
is set to not permitted in menu Take-over of key data.
The Quinto Nr. 2 permits to take over the key data. This means that the weldor C can
log on with his PAK key C on the Quinto 2 although he is not listed in the user
administration because the PAK key data can be transferred and stored in the user
administration via the PAK- Port.

Block 3
Now not only weldors A and B, but also weldor C exist in Quinto 2. When there are further
log-ons, e.g. PAK key D, E, F etc., they are also transferred to the user administration of
Quinto 2.
The menu item Take-over of key data allows for blocking or releasing the access rights
with the aid of PAK keys.
5.4.3.3 Release weld process
Here you can select the functions:
- always: the Quinto always releases the weld process even if no user is logged on.
- after log-on: the Quinto only releases the weld process after log-on with a password
or PAK key.
5.4.3.4 Release lists
This menu allows for selection of the following functions:

- permitted lists: when this menu item is selected the user can only use and process the
lists which are released by password or PAK.
- all lists: after log-on with PAK or password all the lists of the Quinto (1 - 20.000) are
accessible.
5.4.4 PAK user administration
The PAK user administration lists every

authorised user with a freely selectable
name (maximum 30 characters). The
user name quantity depends on the
memory capacity of the Compact-Flash
where these data are filed and
administered. Besides the user names
the following abbreviations of the access
level are displayed:
- A for Automatic
- P for Program
- H for Manual welding with
correction
- K for Configuration

The field Permitted list range allows for the release of all lists (1 - 20000), see fig. 45,
or of a certain list range for a certain user. The access level of the user must also be
defined. Enter the data via arrow keys "13" to "16", the corresponding softkeys
"20" to "23" and the handwheel "17".
The access rights for log-on with a password are the same as with a PAK.
5.4.4.3 Delete user
The softkey "22", Delete user allows for deletion of the user who is highlighted by the
cursor (white bar). Set the cursor on the user to be deleted via handwheel "17" or arrow
keys "13" or "15" and actuate softkey "22". The user is immediately deleted, there is
no inquiry "Delete Yes / No".
Ensure that at least one user with level "Configure" is logged on in the PAK user
administration before deleting a user. You recognise the level Configure by the
"K" in front of the user name in column Level. If there is no user with level
Configure in the Quinto memory, it may be that you loose the access rights to
the Quinto in the menu PAK identification! In this case you have to contact the

information, such as password, name, permitted list range and access level to a PAK.
To do this, proceed as follows:
Select the name of the PAK user, e.g. CLOOS, see fig. 43.
Actuate softkey "20", PAK Progr. The display shows the request PLUG IN PAK. Now
plug the PAK in the PAK port "25". When the PAK does not contain any data, the new
information about user "CLOOS" is transferred to the PAK and is then stored on the
PAK.
When the PAK already contains some data, the warning message appears "PAK
contains data! Overwrite YES / NO". Push softkey "23", Yes for overwriting, otherwise
softkey "19", NO. When the PAK was successfully overwritten and programmed, the
displays shows "PROGRAMMED, please remove PAK!". Remove the PAK from the
PAK port and you are automatically back in the PAK user administration.

5.4.5 Robot Serial
The Quinto is designed for operation

with CLOOS robots. You have to execute
some basic settings in the menu
"Serial-robot" to establish the
corresponding communication to the
robot.
Robot serial On / Off
This function switches on or off the serial

data transfer between Quinto and robot
controller by turning the handwheel
"17".
Fig. 46, Configuration Robot Serial

Machine number ( 1- 255 )
The robot controller can actuate several power sources during operation. The machine
number is used to identify a certain power source.

Block 3
Take over data from the robot list On / Off
When this function is"On" the Quinto uses the welding data of the robot weld parameter
list. Please take the exact parameter of the robot weld parameter list from the programming
manual ROTROL II, block 7. The settings in the Quinto menu Main parameters are partly
ignored and replaced by parameters of the robot list.
WPSPAR On / Off
( WPSPAR = WELDING POWER SOURCE PARAMETER )
The robot command (Carola command) WPSPAR allows for the transfer of many
welding adjustments from the robot controller to a computer-controlled CLOOS power
source. Certain basic settings such as basic or secondary parameters can be transmitted
from the robot controller to the Quinto. WPSPAR On / Off activates this possibility. You
can find a list of the WPSPAR commands in the programming manual of the robot
controller ROTROL II, block 7.
5.4.6 Languages
The Quinto allows for the selection of the

mostly required European languages.
Select the requested language in the
configuration menu Language via arrow

5.4.8 System monitoring
The menu System monitoring offers

you two important monitoring
possibilities. The first one is to measure
the water flow through the welding torch,
the second one is to measure the
temperature difference between cooling
air inlet and outlet. These two data can
help to recognise in advance errors that
may occur. It is possible to define the
minimum water flow through the torch.
The setting range is from 0.5 l / min to 9.9
l / min thus allowing an early recognition
of a cooling problem at the welding torch.
An insufficient cooling can cause the
thermal destruction of the torch and thus
Fig. 49, Menu System monitoring
a breakdown of the complete welding
installation. Determine the further treatment of this error in the menu item
"Water flow Announce / Abort".

Block 3
The second function is the temperature monitoring of the cooling air inlet and outlet. Use
the function Temperature difference to define the difference between the inlet and
outlet temperature.
A bigger temperature difference can suggest a pollution of the components in the air
current of the fan (transformer, rectifier, filter mats etc.). The setting range is from 1°C to
50°C. How big the difference must be in practice, depends on the local situation and has
to be determined empirically.
The function Air temperature Announce / Abort enables you to determine how the
error message is processed. A visual display is made in the menu "Diagnosis" where
the respective error is shown inverted.
Announce: The Quinto (OMI module) sends the error message to a superior SPS
where a customer related evaluation takes place.
Abort: the Quinto immediately stops welding when the limit value is exceeded.
5.4.9 Pulse synchronisation
Activate the option "Pulse synchronisation" by means of an Activation code. The

hardware for the pulse synchronisation is on the additional card "Tandem interface".
This function is very extensive and therefore described in detail in block 4, Options,

MÖGLICHKEITEN
Absolute time continuation
The time-controlled list continuation switches over to the next list after expiry of a defined
time. The switch-over time is indicated absolutely in relation to the seam start, i.e. the
different times are always calculated from the seam start (start LB) and not from the start
of the different lists.
The different times are added so that the elapsed times of the previous lists have to be
considered in the following list.
Relative time continuation
The time-controlled list continuation switches over to the next list after expiry of a defined
time. The switch-over time is indicated relatively to the list start, i.e. the different times
are always calculated from the list start . This function enables a switch-over from one list
to another which is defined in time. The relative setting allows for a return to the previous
list. A "pulsing" arc becomes possible with the relative time continuation and the
adjustment +1 -1 and the corresponding parameters. Contrary to the Aluplus function
it is possible to change all welding parameters. The time indications of the different lists
should be at least 500 ms during real welding.
Step size
3
In position +1 -1 the lists are switched upwards by 1 (in case of odd list numbers) resp.
downwards by 1 (in case of even list numbers). Thus it is possible to switch between
to lists (e.g. 1 and 2).
The position +1 +1 switches upwards only.
The configuration Step size is also valid for the external signal "List continuation".
Quit the mask after input with softkey "23", Save.

5.4.12 Multi wire drive operation
The Quinto is able to work with several wire drive units but this requires an additional
hardware coupling. The configuration mask Multi wire drive operation offers you the
following adjustments:
Multi wire drive operation: On / Off
The settings are made via handwheel "17".
In position "Off" the Quinto works with the wire drive unit which is found during booting
by the functions "Plug and Weld" (PAW) and "Software Versions Management"
(SVM). There is no further display in the state line.
In position "On" the Quinto checks during booting with the aid of the funtions "Plug and
Weld" (PAW) and "Software Versions Management" (SVM) the quantity and type of wire
drive units which are connected to the power source. The state line displays the active
wire drive unit in addition to the active list number.
E.g. active: 25 / CK: 1

list name...........
In case of robot application, the commutation of the wire drive units is made via serial
interface by means of the WPSPAR command 82, in case of automated application via
digital output of the OMI interface.
The multi wire drive operation is limited to the application Tandem welding at the
moment (4/2003).
5.4.13 Logbooks
Determine the memory capacity and deletion procedure of the system and the SD

Memory limit
The memory size of the system logbook is variable due to technical reasons. The upper
limit value can be configured from 100 to 5000 KByte.
The adjustment is possible in steps of 100 KByte. The factory programmation of the
memory limit is 100 KB.
The memory size of the SD logbook is variable due to technical reasons. The upper limit
value can be configured from 100 to 5000 KByte.
The adjustment is possible in steps of 100 KByte. The factory programmation of the
memory limit is 500 KB.
Memory limits of more than 1400 KByte result in the fact that the corresponding logbook
cannot be stored on a disk any more.
There are different configurations of the machine to react to a logbook overflow. The
following settings are possible:
The corresponding logbook is automatically deleted when reaching the upper memory
limit.
The welding machine does not start when reaching the upper memory limit. So the
3
operator is able to save the logbook and to delete it adjacently.
50 Kbyte before reaching the upper memory limit a warning appears on the machine
display signalising a forthcoming logbook overflow. Now the operator can take
measurements to avoid a malfunction of the power source, e.g. save or delete logbook.

Comfortable Machine Functions
6.1 Plug and Weld ( PAW )
When the Quinto is switched on by key "10", Switch on power source the machine
computer searches the connected hardware components, e. g. wire drive units, OMI
module, CDD etc. The hardware components dispose of a special electronic coding
system. All found components are shown in the display and are correspondingly
configurated within the power source by the computer. In the case that e.g. no OMI
module is connected, the computer does not poll the respective inputs. The often
necessary manual configuration of different components (plug jumpers, change resistors
etc.) is no longer applicable in many cases due to the Plug and Weld function.
6.2 Software Versions Management ( SVM )
The current software version of the found hardware components (see Plug and Weld) is
displayed. When the computer finds software versions which are not compatible, i.e.
software versions which cannot work together, there is a corresponding error message
on the display.
In that case the power source is not ready to work and remains on this menu level. It is
necessary to change the software.
The functions "Plug and Weld" and "Software Versions Management" automatically run
during booting of the power source. If the computer does not find an error, the power
source switches to the main menu and is then ready to operate.
6.3 Disk drive on Board ( DOB )

At the left side of the Quinto's operating panel is a disk drive for a normal 3.5" HD
disk. The disk format allows you to write and read the data with the Quinto drive and to
revise the data with a normal PC with Windows operating surface (Microsoft, Word,
Editor etc.). You can save weld parameter lists, synergy characteristics, help texts and
configurations on the disk. You can also process weld parameters (lists) on a PC and
enter them in the Quinto or transfer special lists from one Quinto to another. The exact
procedure is described in chapter 5.1 (disk).

6.4 Personal Access Key ( PAK )

The Quinto II has a user administration
as an option (not as standard) which
allows for the release or lock of the access
right to certain functions, settings and
weld parameters. The access rights are
called "Access levels" in the Quinto
menus.
There are 4 different access levels:
- Automatic
- Manual welding with correction
- Program Abb. 60, PAK
- Configuration Log-on via PAK on the Quinto.
The lowest access level is Automatic, the highest level with unrestricted rights is
Configuration, see fig. 60.
The Personal Access Key (PAK) is a personal electronic access key for the Quinto which
is allocated to a certain user. It consists of
a microprocessor which is located in a
cylindric metal enclosure that is
embedded in a plastic handle, see fig.
60 a.
Plug the PAK in the so-called PAK port
"25" and the display shows the access
data. In the example of fig. 60 the user
"CLOOS" has access to lists no. 1-
20,000 and disposes of the highest
access level Configure. The user can
select a lower access level by turning the
handwheel "17". Press the Enter key
"18" or the handwheel "17" to complete
the log-on. Now the access to the Quinto
is possible. The display automatically
switches to the main menu. Abb. 60 a, PAK - Schlüssel

Fig. 61, Main menu, softkey "Log on"

Enter it by means of the softkeys "19"
bis "23". The number input is displayed
with asterisks (*), see fig. 62. Enter your
6-digit password and confirm by tipping
on the Enter key "18" or the handwheel
"17". When the password was correct
the mask Access data is displayed.
When the password was incorrect the
message "Improper password"
appears. Press the ESC key "12" and
you are back again in the menu Password
where you can enter the correct one.
After the input of a valid password confirm
your requested access level by tipping
on the Enter key "18" or the handwheel
"17". The log-on is now finished and the Abb.62, Passwort
main menu appears automatically.

Important!!
Because you are logged on with your personal access rights you should log off via
softkey "22" when you finished your work at the Quinto.
Define the automatic user log-off in the menu "PAK identification". After a certain
time (from 10 to 60 min.) there is an automatic switch back to the defined access level.
Thus an improper use of other persons with a lower access level is excluded.

Block 4
Attention!!
If you are not able to log on via PAK or password, it is not possible to activate the power
source. In this case you have to contact the service department of Messrs. CLOOS
Schweisstechnik GmbH!

6.5 Variable Bus Connection ( VBC )
The Quinto II disposes of a so-called field bus coupling VBC for the exchange of digital
data. An Anybus module with an adapted socket is the connection to the common field
bus systems. A standard CAN bus system is used in the Quinto. The Anybus module,
however, allows for the coupling of other common bus systems to the Quinto, such as e.g.
INTERBUS, PROFI BUS, ControlNet, CANopen, ETHERNET etc. The exact
hardware and software coupling depends on the used bus system and must be adapted
to the particular requirements by Messrs. CLOOS Schweisstechnik.
6.6 Open Machine Interface ( OMI )
The OMI module is an I / O module (Input / Output-Modul) which can be freely configured
and serves for the hardware coupling of external robots, older CLOOS robots or special
welding systems to the Quinto II.
The OMI module allows for a downward compatibility to older Quinto Profi machines. It
is located in a separate housing and disposes of a processor of its own which
communicates with the Quinto computer via a CAN bus.

6.7 Blue Box Mode ( BBM )
All operating elements for the Blue Box Mode incl. pilot lamps, display and Actual Value
indications are arranged outside the power source in a separate 19" housing. The
housing is connected to the base machine with a 10 pole interface circuit being up to 20
m long. Now you can effect every operation from the separate operating panel, the power
source is only a "Blue Box" that can be mounted on a suitable place near a special
welding system or robot installation in the best position for the operator.
6.8 CLOOS Duo Drive ( CDD )
As standard, the Quinto is able to approach an additional wire drive (CDD = CLOOS Duo
Drive). An additional controller must be mounted to the wire drive unit as subprint. The
Quinto recognises the CDD connection via the Software Versions Management (SVM)
and the Plug and Weld function during booting, see chapter 6.1 / 6.2. The CDD is mainly
used for robot applications with thin or soft wires (aluminium and its alloys).
When the CDD is removed from a robot system or a welding machine working
with a GLC 403 / 603 Quinto the torch cable assembly must also be changed.
If the CDD is missing but a CDD cable assembly is connected, malfunctions
of the wire drive may occur!

For example: monitoring channels of one group can only send one message. Channels
of another group can immediately stop welding when the set value is reached. In both
cases, Message or Abort, the OMI module sets digital outputs which can be processed
by peripheral equipments (machines, carriages or SPS) or by a robot controller.
When the channels are set to "Abort Group 1 or 2", the Quinto immediately stops

active again only after setting the adjustment mode to Off.
This function is very useful for welding in components because the parameters can be
changed without releasing a warning or an error message which could cause a welding
stop.

6.11 Cost Calculation module (CCM)
6.11.1 Introduction
The Quinto allows for the creation of a cost analysis by means of the Cost Calculation
4
module CCM. The consumption data are based on the values determined by the
Quinto's computer and sensors. The operator (level Configure required!) has to enter
the following basic costs in the menu "Basic settings":
Production costs (/h)
Shielded gas costs ( / m3 )
Weight of wire (g/m)
Wire costs ( / kg )
Energy costs ( / KWh )
To start the cost analysis the operator has to set the softkey "23", Cost analysis On / Off
in the menu Consumption data or Consumption costs to "On".

Block 4
From this time on the Quinto computer determines the consumption of gas, wire, energy,
the welding time and the nonproductive time.
The data are displayed online in the menu "Consumption data - CCM" or "Costs -
CCM". When welding is finished the operator must tip on softkey "23" again to set the
cost analysis to "Off" and to stop the cost acquisition. Now both screen masks show the
complete times, consumption data and costs of the last analysis cycle (start/stop cycle).
A restart of the cost analysis sets the values back to zero.
CCM is available for the following welding processes:
MSG normal, MSG Pulse U / I, MSG Pulse I / I

MSG Brazing normal, MSG Brazing U / I, MSG Brazing I / I
MSG Strip normal, MSG Strip U / I, MSG Strip I / I
The consumption data of Master and Slave machines are acquired separately during
Tandem operation.
6.11.2 Sensors
The consumption data for gas and wire

are made available by the sensors in the
wire drive.
The wire consumption is calculated on
the basis of the motor speed of the wire
feed motor. A gas flow sensor is
necessary to measure the gas flow. The
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) gives
you the arithmetical average values of
welding current and welding voltage.
6.11.3 Restrictions
Fig. 64, Main menu with CCM
The use of the cost calculation module is restricted as follows:

6.12 Tandem mode
6.12.1 Introduction
Tandem welding is a variant of the MSG multiwire welding. Contrary to the double wire
welding two potentially separated welding wires are used for Tandem welding which are
led into one torch. Because these two wires are electrically separated you can run
different feeding speeds thus allowing the use of different welding parameters in pratice.
The depositing capacity of the Tandem welding is much higher than that of the single wire
welding and results in a high welding speed. The potential separation of the welding
wires allows for a very complex adjustment of the welding process.
The basis of the Quinto Tandem conception is not to use the external coupling module
KVM any longer. A higher control (robot or SPS) communicates with one or both power
sources by means of a single interface. This requires a communication between the two
power sources. Therefore their hardware and software obtain as an option a CAN bus
interface (Computer Area Network) which transfers the sensor signals for seam
tracking and pulse synchronisation.
The option Tandem is activated by an Activation code. You can see whether your
power sources are equipped for Tandem operation by tipping on softkey "23", Options
in the menu Diagnosis / System information.
6.12.2 Hardware requirements
Each power source needs the additional module "Tandem interface", Cloos reference
number 033 21 68 00. This interface is mounted in the Quinto as an additional board
and is linked to a connector at the back side of the housing. The interface has to convert
the signals of the CAN bus (TTL level) to voltave signals (0 or +5 V).
When the seam tracking shall be used, the module "Seam tracking", Cloos reference
number 033 21 67 00, must be mounted in the Quinto in addition. This interface is also
linked to the connector at the back side of the housing.
Please see the corresponding documentations for more information.

The Slave power source takes over the frequency of the Master machine. Therefore, the
pulse frequency is only set on the Master power source.

Tandem operation is activated in this position, too, but the SLAVE power source
manages the signals of the guiding wire. This is necessary during robot operation when
the direction on the component must be changed and there is no other torch position
possible for taking over the seam tracking signals due to spatial reasons.

6.12.6 Weld data monitoring in Tandem mode
Component counter, seam counter, component name, date and time are automatically
transferred from the Master to the Slave power sources and synchronised.
Each power source administers its own SD logbook in general. But the documentation
and error entries of the Slave power source are transferred and stored in the SD
logbook of the Master power source.

Block 4
4. PEZIELLE
MÖGLICHKEITEN
Therefore the SD logbook of the Master powr source can be looked upon as common
logbook of the two power sources working in Tandem mode. All the error messages and
documentation entries during the Tandem operation are chronologically filed in the SD
logbook of the Master power sources.
6.12.7 Function of the inputs and outputs
Inputs
The input signals Start external, Gas external, Wire external, Wire back and Blow
through are executed on both power sources in the operating mode "Tandem".
In operating mode "Single wire" only the active power source executes the input
signals Start external, Wire external, Wire back. This also applies to the input signals
Gas external and Air blast when you have selected the configuration "Standard".
In configuration "Tandem" the functions are always executed by both power sources.
Both power sources always come into action in the case of External program
selection, i.e. always the same list numbers are active.
The signals Program continuation and Program continuation - Reset are

executed from both power sources. When the start list differs due to a manual list
call, it may be that the used list numbers are not always identical!
The input signal Reset - Error is always executed by both power sources.
4
The input signals Increase component counter, Component counter Reset and
Seam counter Reset are evaluated by the Master power sources.
The Slave power source is synchronised by the Master power source and set to the
same counter state.
The analogue inputs are at present (as per 04/2003) without function.
Outputs
The outputs Arc on, End of welding program, Ready to weld, Current Yes, Wire
storage Yes and Gas Yes are AND-operated in the Tandem mode.
This means that the output signals must be at both power sources in the Tandem mode

Block 4
in order to be processed. In single wire mode the corresponding signal of the active
power source is output.
The outputs Group error without SD, Group error with SD, System error and
Temperature error are always OR-operated. This means that there must be only one
output signal of one of the two power sources in order to be processed.
All the error and warning messages in the machine configuration Weld data monitoring
(SD) are also OR-operated. This means that there must be only one output signal of one
of the two power sources.
6.12.8 Serial coupling
The robot controller and the power source only communicate via the Master power
source. This means in practise that the Master power source must receive, evaluate and
answer the commands for the Slave power source. For this purpose the two power
sources communicate via a CAN bus interface (Computer Area Network). An OMI
module is not necessary.
When the Tandem mode (incl. seam tracking orientation) or the pulse synchronisation
is configured to "External", you can set the operating mode at the robot with the code
80 via the WPSPAR command. WPSPAR = Welding Power Source Parameter
0: Off
1: Tandem - Seam tracking by Master
2: Tandem - Seam tracking by Slave
3: Single wire - Master
4: Single wire - Slave
The seam tracking orientation is switched over in the operating mode "Tandem" by
means of the WPSPAR command. In the case of adjustment "External" the switch-over
Tandem, Single wire Master or Single wire Slave is made by watching the two serial start
signals, i.e. the robot commands
SWITCH TANDEM,
SWITCH TANDEM 1
SWITCH TANDEM 2
are available in the operating mode "External"!
Note:
You find the list of all WPSPAR commands in the programming manual of the CLOOS
Rotrol robot controller in chapter Welding functions.

synchronisation QUINTO II
MÖGLICHKEITEN
6.13.1 Introduction
When operating pulsed arc power sources in Tandem mode, it is useful to change or
influence the pulse frequency of the individual power sources.
For example, some applications require a synchronisation of the pulse frequency,
others an alternating pulse of the two power sources. The alternating pulse normally
causes better results when welding aluminium materials.
Many steel welding processes do not need a pulse synchronisation. Determine the
optimum pulse sequence by practical tests.
Beside the hard machine configuration of the two power sources with Master (cycle
generator) or Slave (cycle receiver) it is also possible to select the pulse sequence via
external inputs or weld parameter list. The alternating operation allows for a pulse
phase shift from 10 % to 90 %.
Several slave power sources (cycle receivers) can be operated in synchronous or

alternating mode. The phase shift for all alternating machines is identical. Each power
source uses the same pulse frequency, the pulse widths are individually set at each
power source. This procedure avoids unwanted influences (magnetic blowing action)
among the power sources when you have to operate several machines in one welding
system at the same time.
The option "Pulse synchronisation" is activated by an Activation code. The hardware

for the pulse synchronisation is on the additional board "Tandem interface".

The Master power sources (cycle generator) sends a synchronous or alternating cycle.
The temporary pulse sequence of the different power sources is defined.
Slave synchronous:
The power source uses the external synchronous cycle of the Master power source.

6.13.3 Phase shift
The temporary order of the different pulse cycles can be shifted. There is a phase shift
of the pulses which is set between 10 % and 90 %. The purpose of this phase shift is to
keep the magnetic interaction of the two arcs as low as possible. Determine the best
setting value by tests, see list 14. The setting is only available in mode Master external
or List.
Example:
The alternating pulse is effected 3 ms after the Master's pulse in case of a pulse cycle
of 100 Hz (10 ms period) and a phase shift of 30 %. In case of a 10 % value and a pulse
time of 2.0 ms the two pulses would overlap.
Switch between the following functions via softkey "21", Pulse synchronisation when
"Selection via list" is set in the basic parameter menu: Asynchronous, Master,
Slave synchronous and Slave alternating.
This extends the weld parameter list by the parameter "Pulse synchronisation".

6.12.5 Functions
Master: ( pulse generator )
A power source working in Master mode continuously sends two cycles together with the
main parameter frequency, even during the welding pauses. The second cycle is delayed
according to the set phase shift.
Both power sources generally work asynchronously in the start and end crater
program resp. in the ramps (in case of transition from start parameter set to end crater
parameter set or list switch-over). The cycle frequency becomes synchronous or
alternating in the main program.
Slave: ( pulse receiver )
The slave also works asynchronously in the start and end crater program and during
the ram function. The switch-over to the selected external cycle is effected in the main
program (synchronous or alternating). Only the pulse frequency of the Master is used,
the pulse width is always set at the Slave. If there is no external cycle due to an error
in the cabling for example, the slave does not recognise it and is therefore not able to
execute it. A pulse frequency which was set on the slave is not executed in the main
program because this program normally uses the external cycle. However, special cases
require this setting, for example in the case of ramp function.
