1.0 Overview
This document describes the DeviceNet Interface to Lincoln Electric welding equipment and is organized as
follows:
• Brief background on the welding equipment features.
• Basic explanation of how those features are organized in the interface.
• A detailed description of the DeviceNet profile.
2.0 Welding Features

This section provides a brief background on the available features of the Power Wave.
2.1 Welding Modes

The power source contains a library of resident welding procedures or “weld modes”. Each weld mode is actually a
program that determines how the power source will create an output welding waveform by controlling things like
Peak current, Background current, Ramp Rates, etc. A Weld Mode may be generalized for a broad range of
materials or may be tuned to a specific electrode type, electrode diameter, gas type or application (i.e. Open Root).
2.2 Control Parameters

Lincoln welding equipment incorporates a synergic design that simplifies welding operation. The term synergic
refers to the ability of the machine maintain an arc characteristic using only a single primary control parameter: wire
feed speed. This is the first analog reference of the Produced I/O Assembly. A synergic weld mode tunes a given
welding wave-shape to a particular wire type, wire size and gas type. In synergic operation there are two secondary
parameters that act as fine tune “trims”. The effects of these two adjustments vary with process: CV, Pulse and
STT:
First trim (second analog reference):

CV- Affects Arc Voltage
Pulse- Affects the arc length
STT- Affects the Background Current level and the Tailout time
Second trim (third analog reference):

CV- Affects the apparent inductance of the arc
Pulse- Affects the ratio of the Background to Peak current time
STT- Affects the Peak current level
Generally once the characteristics have been tuned for a single wire feed speed, those same arc characteristics are
maintained for the entire range of wire feed speeds.
In a non-synergic weld mode there are two primary control parameters: wire feed speed (first analog reference) and
arc voltage (second analog reference). Changes to one setting may require the changes to the other in order to
maintain the same arc characteristics. Non-synergic modes are generalized so that the can be used with any wire
type, wire size, or gas type.
2.3 Welding Sequencer

The welding sequencer is a logical engine included in the Power Source. The welding sequencer controls time and
event related sequences of the welding process, operation of standard peripheral objects, and the active trigger mode.
The Welding Sequencer in the Lincoln Electric system is actually a very flexible programmable object. For the
purpose of standardizing application descriptions and communicating cause and effect relationships, a generalized
model (shown below) was chosen for the sequencer.

2.4 State Memory

Each welding state possesses its own set of attributes for Workpoint, Trim, Waves 1-4 and state timer. As the state
machine enters a state, that state’s attributes take effect and remain in effect until the state is exited; at which
time the next state’s settings are used. The Welding Schedule object class 101 represents sequencer state
memory. The following table lists the class 101 attribute numbers by state.

2.4.1. Disabling States

Sequence states can be disabled. To disable a state, clear it’s corresponding bit in the State Enable (Class 101,
Attribute 7). Typically a user will disable those states which either:
• Don’t apply to their application, or,
• Aren’t required by their application, or,
• Are being controlled explicitly through updates to the Produced I/O Assembly. For example, a PLC may ramp
up Workpoint (Produced I/O Assembly, Analog 1) from the Strike settings to the Weld1 settings.
While disabled, entry into a state is prohibited (it is skipped) and the welding sequencer proceeds to the next enabled
state; generally the next higher numbered state. The welder is unaffected by that state’s attributes. There is no need
to set the attributes (of class 101) for those states which are disabled; any new values will be stored in memory
but will not affect the weld.

Faulted
To enable a state, set it’s corresponding bit in the State Enable (Class 101, Attribute 7).
2.5 State Timers

Each state possesses a timer that, when enabled, may act as a cause to exit that state (see figure 2). Upon entry into
a state, the State Timer (Class 101, Attributes 93 –106) is loaded into a count down timer. The timer is considered
“expired” when the count reaches 0.
To disable a state timer, clear it’s corresponding bit in the State Timer Enable (Class 101, Attribute 8); to enable, set
it’s corresponding bit. Note that a State can be enabled but the State Timer disabled; the reverse is NOT possible.
2.6 Schedule Memory

A “schedule” is a complete group of settings including procedure selection (weld mode) and sequence state memory.
The contents of schedule memory can be changed at any time before or during welding. The one exception is weld
mode which can NOT be changed (in schedule memory) while welding.
Schedule memory is represented as a vendor specific object class. There are two pages of schedule memory each
represented as a distinct instance of that class. The schedule select bits of the Produced I/O assembly select between
the schedules; before or during welding.

3.1 DeviceNet Object Model
DeviceNet is an object-oriented protocol. As such, an object class is defined by the services and attributes that it
possesses. For example, a common DeviceNet object class is the Parameter Class. The Parameter Class provides
services such “Read Attribute Single” and “Write Attribute Single” as well as attributes such as “Parameter Name
String”, “Minimum Value”, and “Maximum Value”. Keep in mind that an object class is only a list of services and
attributes. An ‘instance’ is the instantiation of an object class’s services and attributes. i.e. it is impossible to read
the “Parameter Name String” attribute of the parameter class object. However, it is possible to read the “Parameter
Name String” attribute of an instance of a parameter class object.
Lincoln Electric has defined two vendor specific object classes that are used to configure/control the welding power
source. These objects are the “Welding Object Class” and the “Weld Schedule Object Class”. The “Parameter
Object Class” that is defined by the DeviceNet specification also plays a crucial in Power Wave
configuration/control.
3.1.1. Welding Object Class

The Power Wave allocates a single instance of the “Welding Object Class” (Vendor Defined Class 100). The
“Welding Object Class” is composed of those services and attributes that are global (schedule independent) for the
welding power source. An example of such a global attribute is the output current (ActualI). A complete list of
“Welding Object Class” attributes and services can be found in section 8.1.
3.1.2. Weld Schedule Object Class

The Power Wave allocates an instance of the Weld Schedule Object Class (Vendor Defined Class 101) for each
schedule that it supports. Currently the Power Wave supports 2 unique welding schedules, so it allocates two
instances of the “Weld Schedule Object Class”. The Weld Schedule Object Class contains those attributes that are
unique to a given welding application (schedule dependent). An example of an attribute that is schedule dependent
is the “Weld Mode”. The value of the “Weld Mode” attribute determines the welding waveform that will be applied
when the trigger is asserted. A complete list of “Welding Object Class” attributes and services can be found in
section 8.2.

Machine R&D
3.2 I/O Assemblies
As with most DeviceNet products, the I/O Assembly class is the primary mechanism for controlling the device.
The Produced I/O assembly instance is used to trigger the weld and control the output level. The Consumed I/O
assembly instance provides arc status an feedback signals such as arc current, voltage and wire feed speed. See
section 7.0 for details on the I/O assemblies.
3.2.1. Produced I/O Assembly Analog Fan Out

The interface provides a means of distributing a single Produced I/O Assembly analog among more than one
sequencer state (see section 2.4). Fan out provides an efficient method for adjusting multiple (enabled) welding
states using the Produced I/O assembly versus explicit messaging. The figure below illustrates the relationship
between the analog input reference and those attributes of class 101 that are “connected” by fan out. Class 100
attributes 21 to 23 configure fan out from analog references 1 to 3 respectively.

Figure 4 Analog Reference Fan Out Example

In this example analog reference 1 is fanned out to the Strike, Weld1, Burnback and Restrike states. Whatever value
analog reference 1 is set to will appear in attributes: 12, 15, 19 and 21.
Analog reference 2 is fanned out to the Weld1 state. Whatever value analog reference 2 is set to will appear in
attribute: 29.
Analog reference 3 is fanned out to the Weld1 state. Whatever value analog reference 3 is set to will appear in
attribute: 43.
12
Machine R&D
Explicit message Sets should NOT be made directly to attributes that are fed (by fan out) from the Produced I/O
Assembly analog references. For instance, In the proceeding example Class 101, Attribute 21 should NOT be
explicitly set since it is being fed by analog reference 1.
3.3 Explicit Messaging

Accessing the features described in the previous section requires the use of DeviceNet’s explicit messaging services.
The most detailed description of object modeling and explicit messaging services can be found in the DeviceNet
protocol specification that is published by ODVA (www.odva.org).
3.4 Parameter Object Class

The “Parameter Object Class” is defined by the DeviceNet specification (Class 15). The Parameter Class is a
special object class that acts as an attribute descriptor. In the case of the Power Wave, this class is used to describe
the attributes in the vendor defined classes of 100 and 101. Each instance in the Parameter Object Class "points" to a
specific attribute in one of the vendor defined class and is used to provides additional information about that
attribute. Every instance in the Parameter Object Class contains an attribute called the “Link Path”. This attribute is
what is used to point the attribute in one of the vendor defined classes. A list of supported Parameter Class attributes
can be found in section 6.2. A complete list of “Parameter Object Class” attributes and services can be found in the
DeviceNet specification (Volume II, Section 6-14 “Parameter Object”).

3.4.4. Using Parameter Instances when using Two Schedules
If more than one Schedule is being used, then as the active Schedule is changed, then the item that an Poll I/O
analog channel controls could change. Follow the below steps in order to use the Parameter Instances to find out
more details about the Analog channels for a given Schedule. This method can be used even when the Schedule is
not active. Note: The Parameter Object Instances associated with the Digital items, 127 to 142 and 146 to 161, are
fixed, they always point to the same Vendor Defined object and attribute, so the Parameter Instances associated with
these items can be used directly.
1. Set the Weld Mode for Parameter Object 4. Now change the Link Path for the

Data Component Description
Trigger Trigger is level sensitive.
The trigger is used to enable/disable welding. See Figure 2 Welding Sequence State
Diagram.
All analog references of the Produced I/O Assembly should be set prior to asserting
the trigger!
This bit should not be set while touch sesnsing (Touch Sense Cmd of Produced I/O
Assembly = true).
Gas Purge Gas can be controlled by the machine’s sequencer logic (see figure) by enabling the
preflow and/or postflow states and configuring those state timers.
• Set bits 2 and 11 in the State Enable (Class 101, Attribute 7) true to enable preflow and
postflow.
• Set bits 2 and 11 in the State Timer Enable (Class 101, Attribute 8) true to enable preflow and
postflow timers.
• Set preflow time (Class 101, Attrubute 95) and postflow time (Class 101, Attrubute 104).
Gas will come on and go off according to the sequencer’s state machine; regardless of
this bit in the Produced I/O Assembly.
Alternatively, gas can be controlled explicitly by the DeviceNet master using this bit. If
this is desirable then the preflow and postflow states should be disabled.
• Clear bits 2 and 11 in the State Enable (Class 101, Attribute 7) true to disable preflow and
postflow.
Touch Sense Cmd Touch Sense command is level sensitive.
While in the touch sensing mode the power supply will emit only a low current low
voltage output used to detect a short or zero voltage condition indicating that the wire has
touched the work piece. The Touch Sensed indicator (bit 1 of the Consumed I/O
Assembly) is true when touching; false otherwise.
THIS BIT SHOULD NOT BE SET WHILE WELDING (TRIGGER OF

PRODUCED I/O ASSEMBLY = TRUE).
Weld Output Disable When true this will prevent any welding and will stop any current welds in progress.
Note: This is the only bit that is active while the DeviceNet Interface is in passive mode.
Cold Inch Fwd Cold Inch Forward/Reverse are level sensitive.
Cold Inch Rev
Wire will inch without the output enabled (i.e. “cold”). The direction is determined by
which bit is true (the second bit set true is ignored). The wire feed speed is determined by
the value of the Cold Inch Speed (Class 100, Attribute 31).
Note that the inch command inputs are ignored while welding (Trigger of Produced I/O
Assembly = true).

Fault Reset This bit is not used in the standard DeviceNet interface, it is only used when there is an
Arc Object in the system. Bringing this bit high will reset the Arc Object Faults latched.
Attribute Request This bit is used to put the polled IO into a special mode that enables access to DeviceNet
class attributes, see below. Normally this should be kept low.
Prod Mon Fault Reset This bit is not used in the standard DeviceNet interface. This bit is used when Production
Monitoring is used. This bit is used to clear a production monitoring fault or alarm.
Analog Reference 1 Typically wire feed speed in inches/minute (see 2.2). This is a mode dependent value.

the correct parameter object instance to find more details about value.

Analog Reference 2 Typically a trim (see 2.2). This is a mode dependent value. Use reference class 101
attribute #108 “Analog In Parameter Instance Reference 2”to get the correct parameter

Analog Reference 3 Typically a trim (see 2.2). This is a mode dependent value. Use reference class 101
attribute #109 “Analog In Parameter Instance Reference 3”to get the correct parameter
object instance to find more details about value.
PM SN Request This bit is used to put the polled IO into a special mode that enables access the user to set
the Production Monitoring Part Serial number, see below. Normally this should be kept
low.
Note: For the Analog Reference Inputs 1 to 3, if the input is in engineering units and the value is out of limit, the
interface will reject this value and stay with the last within range value that was sent. Also the interface will signal
a Limit Error (see below) when an Analog Reference value is out of limits.

Data Description
Component
Arc Detect A True value indicates sufficient arc voltage and arc current have been detected. Arc Voltage
and Arc Current levels are mode dependent. When there is no longer sufficient Arc Current
and Arc Voltage this will go to False.
Touch Sensed A True value indicates that the TOUCHSENSE_CMD detected a short between the work
piece and the electrode.
Gas Fault A True value indicates there is a failure in the gas controller. This is reserved for future use
of a gas flow check. If fault occurs the weld Power Wave will turn the output off and will not
weld until the problem is corrected and the fault is cleared.
Wire Fault Asserted when there is a fault in the Wire Drive. To determine fault refer to WDFSTATUS
#12. If fault occurs the weld Power Wave will turn the output off and will not weld until the
problem is corrected and the fault is cleared.
Water Fault True when Shutdown 1 input is open on the external I/O connector Ref. Power Wave / Power
Feed Wire Feeder Interconnections section describing External I/O Connector in the
Operator’s Manual. If fault occurs the weld Power Wave will turn the output off and will not
Inverter Fault True when there is a power source fault. Refer to “Troubleshooting” in the Operator’s
Manual for a list of possible errors. If fault occurs the weld Power Wave will turn the output
off and will not weld until the problem is corrected and the fault is cleared.
Wire Stick A true value indicates that after the welding output is turned off there is a short between the
electrode and the work piece. This will stay true until the welding output is turned on and the
error is cleared or if a TOUCHSENSE_CMD is asserted and the short has been cleared. This
check can be disabled using Class 100 Attribute # 38 “Wire Stick Disable”.
DN Fault At True value indicates that there is a fault in the DeviceNet I/O. See Class 100 Attribute #
32 “DN Fault Error Code” to determine fault. When using an Arc Object, this bit will
indicate that there is a latched fault in the system.
Process Select See section 7.4.
Acknowledge
Limit Error Indicates that one of the Analog reference values is out of limits. See Class 100 Attribute #
32 “DN Fault Error Code” to determine which value was written out of range.
Weld Complete Indicates that the weld has completed (subsequent to the trigger going false) including any
downslope, crater, burnback and postflow times. See section 2.3
Goes false as the next weld begins (trigger going true).
Busy Response Indicates that Power Wave DeviceNet interface is busy processing another message and this
Poll response data contains "old" values. It just a repeat of the last Poll data that was sent out.
In DeviceNet Revision 1.009 this was taken out and no longer is used.
PM Fault This bit is used to indicate that the Production Monitoring object detected a Fault or an Alarm
Gas Purge On Indicates that the Gas Purge is On
Active Head Used only in systems with 2 wire drives. A 0 indicates that the first wire drive is active or the
last one that was active. A 1 indicates that the second wire drive is active or was the last one
that was active.
Toggle Bit This bit is not used in the standard DeviceNet interface, it is only used when there is an Arc
Object in the system. This bit just toggles with every other polled IO packets. It used to
know if the DeviceNet interface is "alive" or not.
Attribute This bit is used to indicate that the Polled IO is now in a special mode that enables access to
Response DeviceNet class attributes, see below. Note, when ever this bit is high, the returned IO is in
this special format, it is not in the above IO format. Also the Power Wave IO interface is also
expecting data to it to be in the special IO format.

7.4 Selecting Multi-Processes (Schedules) using the DN IO Interface
This provides a method for selecting which schedule is run by the Weld Sequencer in Power Wave. Each schedule
can use a different Weld Mode, each with different work points. At this time the Weld Sequencer supports 2
schedules. The below table lists what incoming DeviceNet Polled IO bits to the Power Wave that needs to be select
which Weld Sequencer schedule.
Process vs. Schedule Select Bits

Process Schedule Sch. Sel. Bit 0 Sch. Sel. Bit 1 Sch. Sel. Bit 3
1 A 0 0 0
2 B 1 0 0
But in order to select a schedule, the DeviceNet Master must perform a certain handshaking sequence with the
Power Wave. The DeviceNet Master's Process Select Ready and Schedule Select bits and the Power Waves Process
Select Acknowledge output bit is needed for this handshaking sequencer.
The basic handshaking sequence is as follows. Note: At the beginning of this sequence, both the Master's Process
Select Ready and the Power Wave's Process Select Acknowledge should be high.–
1. The DeviceNet Master drops its Process Select Ready bit.

2. The Power Wave then will de-assert it’s Process Select Acknowledge signal and ignore any new Analog
Command Signals.
3. When the DeviceNet Master detects that the Process Select Acknowledge has dropped, it should now should select
the new schedule using the 3 Schedule Select (see above table) lines and set any new Analog Command Inputs.
4. After the new schedule is selected, the DeviceNet master should raise it's Process Select Ready line.
5. When the Power Wave detects the rise in the Process Select Ready signal, it will then read the Schedules Select
Bits, and switch to the appropriate schedule.
6. After the new schedule is switched to, monitoring of the analog input command signals will begin again.
7. The PW455 will then re-assert it's Process Select Acknowledge signaling that the schedule change is done.
The follow items apply during a Schedule switch:
• In the case of an error, the PW455 will assert the DN Fault bit in its output assembly.
• The Process Select Acknowledge signal will always be reasserted after detecting a rise in the Master's Process
Select Ready signal, even after an error has occurred.
• The digital command signals in the DN I/O connection are valid at all times.
• After the Process Select Ready line goes low, a timer will be started, which has a default value of 500 ms.
The PW455 expects to see the Process Select Ready asserted again before this timer expires. If not, it will
signal an error and will start using the analog commands again.

Figure 5 Schedule Select I/O Timing Diagram
* Represents all I/O lines except for the both Process Select lines & Schedule Select lines.
T1 - Time it takes Power Wave to drop it's Acknowledge Line after seeing the Ready line drop. Typically times are
around 6 MS, with maximum times usually around 15 MS.
T2 - Time it takes the DeviceNet Master to complete it's schedule switch. This time must be less than the Gateway
Attribute #538, the Process Select Time. The schedule switch should occur within the default time that is 500MS.
T3 - Time it takes the DeviceNet Gateway to process the schedule switch. This time is typically around 100MS.

7.6 Accessing DeviceNet Class Attributes over the Polled IO Connection
This capability has been added to support those DeviceNet Masters that can not communicate via the explicit
message connection. This is NOT a preferred method of operation, but should be considered only as a “last resort”.
If used improperly, utilizing the polled connection for messaging can negatively impact control determinism which

Notes on using the Polled IO attribute format.
1. Do not send any DeviceNet explicit messages when trying to access an attribute over the Polled IO connection,
could get a DeviceNet Resource Unavailable error.
2. Can only write 2 bytes of data and read up to four bytes of data.
3. Any time the Attribute Response bit is set, the returned IO data is in the Attribute Request format, not in the
standard Polled IO format.
4. When waiting for a handshaking line to come On or go Off, this could take some time. This means that the
Power Wave might return many IO scans before the appropriate IO bit gets set in the Polled IO return data.
5. When the Attribute Request bit comes On, the Trigger, Gas Purge, Touch Sense, Cold Inch Fwd/Rev, and Fault
Reset bits must all be Off and the Weld Output Disable and Process Select Ready must be On. If this is not the
case, then the Power Wave will ignore the Attribute Request bit and continue with normal polled operations. If
these bits are set correctly when the Attribute Request bit comes On, then the Power Wave will set the Attribute
Response bit to On, usually within 20 milliseconds. But if the Power Wave is already processing a request this
could take much longer. If after 500 milliseconds of setting the Attribute Request bit to On and the Attribute
Response bit has not gone On, then assume there was a problem with one of the IO digital bits and retry setting
the Attribute Request bit.
6. If the Trigger, Gas Purge, Touch Sense, Cold Inch Fwd/Rev Fault Reset, or Weld Output Disable change state
while the Attribute Request bit is on, the Power Wave will then start to ignore the Polled IO, it will not process
any requests or I/O bits until the Attribute Request bit goes off. In this case the Attribute Request Error bit will
be set to On.
Example: Setting the Weld Mode over the Polled IO Connection.
1. Set the Trigger, Gas Purge, Touch Sense Cmd, Cold Inch Fwd, Cold Inch Rev, and Fault Reset bits to Off and
the Process Select Ready and Weld Output Disable to On. The 8 bytes of IO going to the Power Wave in
hexadecimal should look like - 20 08 00 00 00 00 00 00. Assuming there are no current faults, the Power Wave
will be sending back something like - 00 05 00 00 00 00 00 00.
2. Set the Attribute Request bit to On. The 8 bytes of IO going to the Power Wave in hexadecimal should look like
- 20 18 00 00 00 00 00 00.
3. Wait until the Attribute Response bit comes On. Must wait for at least 500 milliseconds for this. When the
Attribute Response bit comes on, the IO coming from the Power Wave should look like something like - 00 85
00 00 00 00 00 00.
4. If after 500 milliseconds the Attribute Response bit has not come On, then can assume there was a problem with
one of the bits in step 1. Set the Attribute Request bit to Off and go back to step 1 and try again.
5. If the Attribute Response bit did come on, then the Power Wave is now ready to receive in attribute requests.
At this point the Power Wave is now interpreting the incoming IO in the format for Attribute Requests instead
of the standard Polled IO format. Also since the Attribute Response bit is now On, the IO format that the Power
Wave is sending out is now in the Attribute Request format as well.
6. Set the Process Select Ready to Off. The 8 bytes of IO going to the Power Wave in hexadecimal should look
like - 20 10 00 00 00 00 00 00.
7. Wait until the Process Select Ack goes Off. When this bit goes Off, the Power Wave IO data will look like - 00
84 00 00 00 00 00 00.
8. Set the Request Data. Set the Class, Instance, and Attribute bytes and the Data Size field. For example, if want
to set the Weld Mode to 10 for the first schedule, then must do a write to DeviceNet Class 100 (0x65), Instance
1, Attribute 1, and the data length is 2 bytes. The IO bytes going to the Power Wave should look like - 20 10 02
65 01 01 0A 00. Note that the low byte is first for the data bytes.
9. After the request data is set, now set the Process Select Ready to On. The IO bytes going to the Power Wave
should look like - 20 18 02 65 01 01 0A 00.
10. Now wait until the Process Select Ack comes On. This can take a few hundred milliseconds depending on the
request.
11. After the Process Select Ack bit has come on, check the Error Code byte to see if the request was OK or not.
The Polled IO data coming from the Power Wave should look something like - 00 85 00 00 00 00 00 00 when
the Process Select Ack bit comes on and there are no errors. If the request failed for some reason, then the Error
Code byte will be set and the IO data might look something like - 00 85 00 09 00 00 00 00. The Error Code is a
DeviceNet error code, in this case a 9 is a Invalid Attribute Value.
33
Machine R&D
12. Now another attribute request can be started or the attribute request mode can be exited. To start another
request, basically just go back to step 6.
13. To exit the attribute request mode and go back to the standard Polled IO format, drop the Attribute Request bit.
The 8 bytes of IO going to the Power Wave should look like - 20 08 00 00 00 00 00 00.
14. Wait for the Attribute Response bit to go Off. When this bit goes Off, the Power Wave IO data will look
something like - 00 05 00 00 00 00 00 00.
15. Now set the Analog Inputs to the Power Wave back their values and bring the Weld Output Disable bit to off to
return to normal operations and be able to trigger on and off.
Example: Read the Workpoint Limits over the Polled IO Connection.
1. Follow steps 1 to 7 in the above example.

2. Set the Request Data. Set the Class, Instance, and Attribute bytes and the Read Request bit. For example, if
want to read the Workpoint high limit, then must do a read of DeviceNet Class 15 (0x0F), Instance 14 (0x0E),
Attribute 11 (0x0B). The IO bytes going to the Power Wave should look like - 20 10 80 0F 0E 0B 00 00.
should look like - 20 18 80 0F 0E 0B 00 00.
request.
The Polled IO data coming from the Power Wave should look something like - 00 85 02 00 B0 04 00 00 when
the Process Select Ack bit comes on and there are no errors. Note that the data size length of the return data is 2
and the returned data is 0x04B0 (1200). Note that the low byte is put first in the returned data. If the request
failed for some reason, then the Error Code byte will be non-zero.
6. Now another attribute request can be done to get the Workpoint's low limit.
like - 20 10 00 00 00 00 00 00.
84 00 00 00 00 00 00.
9. Set the Request Data. Set the Class, Instance, and Attribute bytes and the Read Request bit. To read the
Workpoint's low limit, then must do a read of DeviceNet Class 15 (0x0F), Instance 14 (0x0E), Attribute 10
(0x0A). The IO going to the Power Wave should look like- 20 10 80 0F 0E 0A 00 00.
should look like - 20 18 80 0F 0E 0A 00 00.
11. Now wait until the Process Select Ack comes On.
and the returned data is 0x0032 (50).
14. To exit the attribute request mode and go back to the standard Polled IO format, drop the Attribute Request bit.
The 8 bytes of IO going to the Power Wave should look like - 20 08 00 00 00 00 00 00.
15. Wait for the Attribute Response bit to go Off. When this bit goes Off, the Power Wave IO data will look
something like - 00 05 00 00 00 00 00 00.
16. Now set the Analog Inputs to the Power Wave back their values and bring the Weld Output Disable bit to off to
return to normal operations and be able to trigger on and off.

7.6.1 Accessing DeviceNet Class Attributes over the Polled IO Connection, Version 2
. This feature is for those DeviceNet Masters that can not communicate via the explicit message connection. This is
NOT a preferred method of operation, but should be considered only as a “last resort”. If used improperly, utilizing
the polled connection for messaging can negatively impact control determinism which can in turn degrade welding
performance.
This version replaces the method as described in 7.6. The main difference between the two methods is that setting
and reading attributes now can be done over the polled IO while welding. This feature is available starting with the

Notes on setting the Production Monitoring Part Serial Number using the Polled IO.
1. Do not send any DeviceNet explicit messages when trying to access an attribute over the Polled IO
connection, could get a DeviceNet Resource Unavailable error.
2. Send serial number data using ASCII characters, for example for a 1 send 0x31. ASCII characters between
0x20 and 0x7A can be used.
3. Up to 16 characters can be inputted for the Production Monitoring Part Serial number. But only 5 bytes
can be written at a time, so multiple requests usually will have to be made. If the data does not fill up the
whole block, fill these characters with 0x20.
4. The first block that is sent over “blanks” out the current serial number.
5. The last block that is written, must set the Write Done bit.
6. If the Attribute Response bit is set, the returned IO data is in the new format, not in the standard Polled IO
format.
8. When the PM SN Request bit comes On, the Trigger, Gas Purge, Touch Sense, Cold Inch Fwd/Rev, and
Fault Reset bits must all be Off and the Weld Output Disable and Process Select Ready must be On. If this
is not the case, then the Power Wave will ignore the PM SN Request bit and continue with normal polled
operations. If these bits are set correctly when the Attribute Request bit comes On, then the Power Wave
will set the Attribute Response bit to On, usually within 20 milliseconds. But if the Power Wave is already
processing a request this could take much longer. If after 500 milliseconds of setting the PM SN Request
bit to On and the Attribute Response bit has not gone On, then assume there was a problem with one of the
IO digital bits and retry setting the Attribute Request bit.
9. If the Trigger, Gas Purge, Touch Sense, Cold Inch Fwd/Rev Fault Reset, or Weld Output Disable change
state while the PM SN Request bit is on, the Power Wave will then start to ignore the Polled IO, it will not
process any requests or I/O bits until the Attribute Request bit goes off. In this case the Attribute Request
Error bit will be set to On.
10. The error bit will be set if a request failed. In this case restart the process from the beginning.
Example: Setting the Serial Number over the Polled IO Connection.
1. Set the Trigger, Gas Purge, Touch Sense Cmd, Cold Inch Fwd, Cold Inch Rev, and Fault Reset bits to Off
and the Process Select Ready and Weld Output Disable to On. The 8 bytes of IO going to the Power Wave
in hexadecimal should look like - 20 08 00 00 00 00 00 00. Assuming there are no current faults, the
Power Wave will be sending back something like - 00 05 00 00 00 00 00 00.
2. Set the PM SN Request bit to On. The 8 bytes of IO going to the Power Wave in hexadecimal should look
like - 20 48 00 00 00 00 00 00.
Attribute Response bit comes on, the IO coming from the Power Wave should look like something like - 00
85 00 00 00 00 00 00.
1. If after 500 milliseconds the Attribute Response bit has not come On, then can assume there was a problem
with one of the bits in step 1. Set the Attribute Request bit to Off and go back to step 1 and try again.
2. If the Attribute Response bit did come on, then the Power Wave is now ready to receive in attribute
requests. At this point the Power Wave is now interpreting the incoming IO in the format for Attribute
Requests instead of the standard Polled IO format. Also since the Attribute Response bit is now On, the IO
format that the Power Wave is sending out is now in the Attribute Request format as well.
3. Set the Process Select Ready to Off. The 8 bytes of IO going to the Power Wave in hexadecimal should
look like - 20 40 00 00 00 00 00 00.
4. Wait until the Process Select Ack goes Off. When this bit goes Off, the Power Wave IO data will look like
- 00 84 00 00 00 00 00 00.
5. Set the SN Data. Set the block number. If this the last block, set the write done bit. For example, if want
to set a serial number “A1234567”. The IO bytes going to the Power Wave for the first block should look
like - 20 40 01 41 31 32 33 34.
6. After the request data is set, now set the Process Select Ready to On. The IO bytes going to the Power
Wave should look like - 20 48 01 41 31 32 33 34.
7. Now wait until the Process Select Ack comes On. This can take a few hundred milliseconds depending on
the request.
43
Machine R&D
8. After the Process Select Ack bit has come on, check the Error Bit, bit 0x80 of the third byte. If it is set,
there was an error. In this case the operation should be aborted and restarted. Else another block can be
sent out or the operation can be exited.
9. To send another block of data out. Set the Process Select Ready to Off. The 8 bytes of IO going to the
Power Wave in hexadecimal should look like - 20 40 00 00 00 00 00 00.
10. Wait until the Process Select Ack goes Off. When this bit goes Off, the Power Wave IO data will look like
- 00 84 00 00 00 00 00 00.
11. Set the second block SN Data. Set the block number. Since this is the last block in our example, set the
write done bit. The IO bytes going to the Power Wave for the first block should look like - 20 40 12 35 36
37 20 20.
12. After the sn data is set, now set the Process Select Ready to On. The IO bytes going to the Power Wave
should look like - 20 48 12 35 36 37 20 20.
13. Now wait until the Process Select Ack comes On. This can take a few hundred milliseconds depending on
the request.
14. Check the error bit if the request was OK.
15. If it was, then the serial number should be set in our example. Exit and go back to standard polling mode.
16. To exit the attribute request mode and go back to the standard Polled IO format, drop the PM SN Request
bit. The 8 bytes of IO going to the Power Wave should look like - 20 08 00 00 00 00 00 00.
17. Now set the Analog Inputs to the Power Wave back their values and bring the Weld Output Disable bit to
off to return to normal operations and be able to trigger on and off.
8.0 Connection Object – Class 5
Now three connection instances are supported. Instance 1 is the Explicit Message connection, instance 2 is the Polled IO
connection, and instance 3 is the Bit-Strobed IO connection. Instance 4 is the will be used for COS/Cyclic IO connection which
is not yet implemented.

and 0=WFS.
27 GSF Reserved
28 METER_FREQ Sets how often the Analog I/O will be updated. This includes the
Average Current, Average Voltage and the Actual WFS. This value
should not be set below 20ms for Versions 1.03 and older. For
Versions 1.04 and later the min value should be no less than 10ms.
29 METER_FILTER Sets the averaging time for the Arc Current and the Arc Voltage. The
default value for this attribute is 75ms. The lower this value is set the
more instantaneous analog feedback changes will be reported. It is
not recommended to set this value below METER_FREQ. If the
system is used for correcting welding variables such as stick out a
time of 100 ms or greater should be considered to avoid anomalies in
the feedback.

Wave 1control will range from 0 to 200. When turned off it will be
from –100 to 100.
40 Weld Complete See section 7.3
41 Use Workpoint Eng When using Engineering Units, then the limits are Weld Mode
Units dependent for any DeviceNet Workpoint inputs. When not using
Engineering Units, then the limits for Workpoint are usually from 0 to
+32767.
If the Engineering Units for Workpoint was negative, then the
non engineering units, will be from +32767 to -32768 with a nominal
value of 0.
42 Use Trims Eng Units When using Engineering Units, then the limits are Weld Mode
dependent for any DeviceNet Trim and Wave inputs. When not using
Engineering Units, then the limits for Trim and the Waves are always
from +32767 to -32768 with a nominal value of 0.
43 Param Inst. Schedule This item sets the Instance of the link-path of all the Parameter Object
Slct Instances with settable link-paths to the inputted number.
44 Param Inst State Select This item sets the attribute of the link-path of all the Parameter Object
Instances with settable link-paths of those instances that are used to
point to items in the Weld Schedule Class that have state memory.
The inputted number is the sequencer state that is desired to point to.
45 Analog Scans between Sets how often to look at the DeviceNet Analog inputs. Ex. If set to
Updates 50, the gateway will look at every 50th DeviceNet Poll IO input, if one
of the Analog channels has changed, the gateway will then update the
sequencer with this new value if triggered on.
46 DN Can Msgs Lost Displays the approximate number of DeviceNet Messages that were
missed.
47 Busy Response See Section 7.3
48 Weld Output Disable See Section 7.2
49 Restore Memory If true, will have the DeviceNet Gateway restore certain weld
attributes on powerup.
50 Require Poll Connection If true, then if there is no DeviceNet Poll Connection established, the
DeviceNet Gateway board will go not ready and prevent any welding.
Note: Even if set to false, once a connection is established, if the
connection goes away, the gateway board will go not ready.
51 Passive Mode If true, then the DeviceNet Gateway Polled IO inputs will have no
effect on the system except for the Weld Output Disable bit.
52 Gas Purge On This is TRUE if the gas purge is on in the wire drive, else it is
FALSE.
53 Active Head This is used for systems with dual feeders. If FALSE, then the first
feeder was the last active feeder, else if TRUE, then the second feeder
was the last active feeder.
54 Use Wave Outer Limits Used for setting how the wave (trim) limits are returned when
accessing them through the Parameter Instance Class. When set to
TRUE the returned limits are the absolute limits. When set to
FALSE, the limits are based on the current workpoint and mode for
the given sequencer state.
52
Machine R&D
55 DeviceNet Analog In This sets what DeviceNet analog inputs are read in on the Polled IO
Mask connection. Example:A value of 0 will have no inputs read in, a
value of 1 will have the 1st analog input (workpoint) read in, a value
of 3 will have the first 2 analog inputs read in, etc. The default value
is 7 which has all three inputs read in.
61 IO Attribute Request Bit This bit indicates that the DeviceNet master is requesting to put the
polled IO into a special mode that enables access to DeviceNet class
attributes over the Polled IO connection.
62 IO Attribute Response This bit indicates that the Power Wave is in a special mode that

14.0 Special DeviceNet Vendor Classes
This section describes special implementations of Lincoln Electric's DeviceNet Interface that is used with Power
Wave ACDC machines or the System Interface box that is used with ACDC systems. If you are not using Power
Wave ACDC machines or a System Interface box with DeviceNet, please ignore this section.
14.1 Arc Object, DeviceNet Vendor Classes 100 & 101
The Arc Object uses DeviceNet Vendor Classes 100 and 101, note these are the same classes that the standard
Lincoln Electric DeviceNet interface uses. But when there is an Arc Object in the system, instead of DeviceNet
attributes accessing Weld Object and Weld Sequencer attributes, they access Arc Object attributes. When the Arc
Object is present, DeviceNet Class 102, the Phase Generator Class is also present, see that class for more
information.

4 Analog Feedback 2 Low Byte (Actual Current)
5 Analog Feedback 2 High Byte (Actual Current)
6 Analog Feedback 3 Low Byte (Actual or Commanded WFS)
7 Analog Feedback 3 High Byte (Actual or Commanded WFS)
The main difference between the Arc Object IO format and the standard format is that the Arc Object does not
support multiple schedules, so the Schedule Select bits are not active in the incoming IO assembly to the Power
Wave.

14.2 Phase Generator, DeviceNet Vendor Classes 102 & 103
The Phase Generator class is assigned to DeviceNet vendor defined classes 102 and 103. Both of these classes
access the exact same attributes, this was done in order to keep backwards compatibility with existing products.
When trying to access Phase Generator attributes over DeviceNet in a Power Wave ACDC machine when the Arc
Object is present, Class 102 must be used. In this case, the Parameter Instances for the Phase Generator range from
165 to 176. When trying to access Phase Generator attributes over DeviceNet when it is located in a System
Interface box, DeviceNet Classes 102 or 103 can be used and the Parameter Instances range from 3 to 14. Always
use DeviceNet instance 1 when accessing this class.

Phase 5 items are only available on the New ACDC Power Wave.
14.3 System Interface, DeviceNet Vendor Class 104
The System Interface uses DeviceNet Vendor class 104. When the System Interface is present, DeviceNet Class
102, the Phase Generator Class is also present, see that class for more information.
14.3.1. System Interface DeviceNet Polled IO Assembly Formats
The System Interface uses two different DeviceNet Polled IO formats. The Parameter File is used to specify which
format is used. The Parameter File attribute, IO Format, sets which format is used. A 0 will have the System use
the standard DeviceNet Polled IO format and a 1 will have use a special format.
14.3.1.1. DeviceNet IO Format 0.
Note that this format support changing attributes over the Polled IO connection, see the section, Accessing
DeviceNet Class Attributes over the Polled IO Connection, for more information. Note: Some of the digital IO bits
in this format do not actual function like they do in the stand Power Wave DeviceNet Interface. The Weld Output
Disable does not stop welding and the Weld Complete does mean the welder is done welder. Since the System
Interface does not control any welder, these do not function. They are provide in order to keep the DeviceNet the
interface the same as the standard Power Wave DeviceNet interface when change attributes over the Polled IO
connection.
