2. Connecting The Automation Interface
254 912-A
Set switch DIP1 inside the Automation In-
terface box prior to connecting to the weld-
ing system (PipeWorx 400 System
shown).
1 Automation Interface To Welding
Power Source
Connect 14−pin plug (male) on end of
cable directly to the back of the power
source (front of power source for PipePro
XC model).
2 Automation Interface To Wire Feeder
Connect 14−socket plug (female) on end of
cable to the back of the wire feeder using
a Feeder Control Cable (see Parts List).
3 Automation Interface To PLC
Connect a PLC to the RS−485 MODBUS
RTU port on the front of the interface box
using a shielded RJ45 network cable. See
Table 2-1 for pin out information.
NOTICE − The RJ45 network cable is not
an Ethernet connection. It is not designed
for connection to an IP network.
NOTICE − Connecting a crossed cable to
a 2-wire MODBUS system may cause
damage.

3. Basic Automation Interface Operation
1. To enable welding control from the Automation Interface, set the “Automation Enable” bit (0x2000) in the Command Flags register (MODBUS
Holding Register 101).
2. Select a Process
Write the desired process to Holding Register 102 using the appropriate table in Section 5.
S Not all values are used for all processes. For example, STICK processes do not use Registers 103 or 104.
S If the process or output selected is not available, the process will not be changed. Read Input Register 102 for verification of process change.
3. Obtain Minimum and Maximum values
Read from the Minimum and Maximum values section of Table 4-4.
4. Set Weld Output Parameters
Set ALL parameters (Holding Registers 103−108) to their desired values. They must be within the minimum and maximum values in Step 2.
S Preflow and Postflow can be set to their minimum value for default operation (see Table 4-2).
S ALL parameters must be initialized after each process selection.
5. Enable Output
Enable weld output by setting the Output Enable Flag to 1 in the Command Flags Holding Register (see Table 4-2 and Table 4-3). This will enable
the weld output of the power source.
6. Read Feedback Values
Read from the System Feedback Values section of Table 4-4.
7. Disable Output
To disable weld output, clear the Output Enable Flag to 0 in the Command Flags Holding Register (see Table 4-2 and Table 4-3).
S While controlled by the MODBUS Master, the PipeWorx operator interface buttons and knobs are disabled. However, the interfaces will still
display parameters and feedback values.
S When there is NO communication from the MODBUS Master to the Automation Interface the power source will operate as if there is NO
Automation Interface connected. The Automation Interface must receive a valid request at least every second, otherwise control will return to
the operator interface.
