4.2.3 Entering or Changing the Joint Number

From Display 3 or after the commission number was entered, the ma-
chine requests the input of the welding number, or joint number, if it
was enabled in the Configuration Menu.
The joint number, or welding number, is in correlation with the job/
commission number. This means that it increments by 1 for every
welding operation performed in the scope of the current commission
(identified previously by entering the appropriate job number). In
the example in Display 3, the next welding operation will be saved to
welding report number 72 while the joint itself is joint number 2 of
the current job/commission.
The first joint of a commission for which no joint has been
saved to memory so far, always receives no. 1. If the memory
already holds joints for a commission, the machine finds the
highest number of the joints existing for that commission
Info
and uses this number plus 1. The user is shown the number
thus found on the screen and can apply or change it. If the
user changes the joint number, it is his responsibility to make
sure that no number is assigned twice in one commission. If
a joint number appears twice in a commission, this will not
affect the welding process and the logging of its data in
any way. However, in that commission two joints will not be
distinguished by a unique number.
If user inputs leave some joint numbers unused (for instance,
for a given commission no. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9), the gaps do not
get filled, and the automatically found number proposed for
the next welding operation will still be the highest existing
number plus 1 (that is, 10 in this example).
The joint number can also be entered after simultaneously pressing
the cursor keys ï and ð when Display 3 is showing on the screen.

4.2.4 Entering oder Changing Further Data on Component Traceability

In the same way as welder identification code, commission and weld-
ing number, other data relating to the components can be entered if
they were enabled in the Configuration Menu. They are requested in
the following order (not all of them in both welding processes that
can be used): length of the 1
2 pipe, code of the 2
nd
additional data (as defined by the user).
If pipe codes for the two pipes are entered and if those pipe
codes state different sizes and/or Standard Dimension Ratios
(SDR) for the pipes, then a code error is triggered since these
Info
welding parameters must be identical for both pipes.
All data can be entered by using alphanumeric keys and confirming
them by pressing the START/SET key or can be scanned from a bar code
or a RFID card, if available, with the scanner or transponder reader.
One exception is the weather (see Display 13). This option is presented
as a list in which the applicable conditions can be selected by pressing
ñ or ò and confirmed by pressing the START/SET key.

Butt Welding in the WeldControl Mode

The welding process can be performed fully manu-
ally (Manual Mode) or with the support of the hy-
draulic, control, and data logging/report generation
unit (WeldControl Mode), which displays all steps
