DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
13AP1 Control board
Sections 13AP1:1 to 13AP1:13 below refer to the diagrams in chapter "WIRING DIAGRAM".
From serial no. 410-xxx-xxxx a new version of the control board (0487 162 88X) is fitted to
the ESABFeed 30-2 M11. The new and old versions of the control board are fully
interchangeable.
13AP1:1 Power supply
Feed 302
The feeder obtains a 42 V supply from the power source. Its power demand at maximum
load is 3.5 A.
42 V AC is used for the welding torch trigger switch and as the power supply to the gas
solenoid valve and the main contactor.
Rectifier BR1 rectifies the 42 V supply to 60 V. Capacitor C28 smooths the voltage, which
then supplies the wire feeder motor.
Transistor Q8 is a pre-regulator which reduces the voltage from 60 V to 20 V.
Q8 is current-limited to about 200 mA. If the 20 V supply drops below 13 V, the wire feed
unit stops.
VR1 and VR2 are 5 V and 15 V voltage regulators respectively.

YardFeed 200
13AP1:2 2-stroke / 4-stroke
2-stroke
When the switch is open, the unit operates in 2-stroke mode. Operating the trigger on the
welding torch starts the motor, opens the gas valve and energises the power source
contactor.
Releasing the trigger stops the motor, de-energises the contactor and closes the gas valve.
If burn-back is in operation, welding ceases when the burn-back time has elapsed.
4-stroke
When the switch is closed, the unit operates in 4-stroke mode. Operating the trigger on the
welding torch opens the gas valve: releasing the trigger then starts the motor and energises
the power source contactor.
Operating the trigger switch for a second time stops the motor and de-energises the
contactor in the power source: releasing the switch then closes the gas solenoid valve.
If burn-back is in operation, welding ceases when the burn-back time has elapsed.

13AP1:3 Start / Stop
The welding torch switch is supplied with 42 V AC. Closing the switch activates optocoupler
IC1, causing the voltage across C35 to go low.
The new version of the control board, 0487 162 88X:
When wire feed starts, the power source generates welding voltage. If this is not followed by
a flow of welding current within three seconds, the power source shuts down the welding
power supply, although wire feed continues until the welding torch switch is released.
The first version of the control board, 0486 991 880:
When wire feed starts, the power source generates welding voltage.
13AP1:4 Current relay, Creep start / Normal start
The new version of the control board, 0487 162 88X
The first version of the control board, 0486 991 880
Current relay
The current relay operates if the welding current exceeds 20 A.
Creep Start
The creep start function is activated when switch 13SA2 is open. Creep start means that the
motor runs at a speed of 1.9 m/minute until the current relay is activated. When the relay
operates, the speed increases to the set speed.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
0740 800 148
- 16 -
© ESAB AB 2018
The new version of the control board, 0487 162 88X:
If the current relay does not operate within three seconds after starting, the motor speed
increases to the set speed in any case.
The first version of the control board, 0486 991 880:
If the current relay does not operate within one second after starting, the motor speed
increases to the set speed in any case.
YardFeed 200
The creep start function is always activated.
13AP1:5 Motor driving / braking
Driving
The motor is powered from the smoothed +60 V supply. Motor speed is controlled by pulse
width modulation of transistor Q1. The pulse frequency is 39 kHz, the old version of the
board has a pulse frequency of 12 kHz. The maximum conducting time of the pulses is 99%
of the pulse cycle time. During the pulse spaces, the motor current freewheels through diode
D8.
At 24 V motor supply voltage, the wire feed rollers' speed is 160 r/min. A wire feed speed of
20 m/min. requires a roller speed of 217 r/min.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
0740 800 148
- 17 -
© ESAB AB 2018
Current limit
Resistor R19 produces a voltage drop proportional to the motor current. If the current
exceeds the current limit, IC5 turns off the gate pulses to Q1. When the current falls, Q1
conducts again at the next gate pulse.
The new version of the control board (0487 162 88X) has a dynamic current limit controlled
by the processor. The current limit is 11 A on starting. When the set speed is achieved, this
is reduced to 7 A.
The first version of the control board (0486 991 880) has a fixed current limit at 7 A.
Braking
When the motor starts, capacitor C43 charges up via diode D28: the voltage is limited to 15
V by zener diodes D10 and D21. When the motor is to brake, the LED in optocoupler IC8
lights, causing the transistor in IC8 to conduct and discharge capacitor C43 (15 V) to the
gate of transistor Q3. The transistor conducts and short-circuits the motor voltage through
resistors R51 and R64, which limit the current to about 20 A.
13AP1:6 Tachometer input
Tachometer 13G1 is fitted in the motor casing.
Comparator IC4/IC11:2 converts the sine wave signal from the tachometer to a square wave
at the same frequency.
The new version of the control board, 0487 162 88X: The tachometer frequency is 814 Hz
for a wire feed speed of 20 metres per minute.
The first version of the control board, 0486 991 880: The tachometer frequency is 796 Hz for
a wire feed speed of 20 metres per minute.
Pulse generator input
Valid for Feed 302 from serial number 917-xxx-xxx-xxxx.
The pulse generator (encoder), 13G1, is fitted to drive motor 13M1. It generates 60 pulses
per revolution.
At a wire feed speed of 20 m/min, the pulse generator produces a pulse frequency of 8145
Hz.
Valid for Yardfeed 200 from serial number 810-xxx-xxxx
The pulse generator (encoder), 13G1, is fitted to the drive motor 13M1. It generates 60
pulses per revolution. At a wire feed speed of 20 m/min, the pulse generator produces a
pulse frequency of 5123 Hz.

13AP1:7 Burn-back time
The burn-back time is the time from when motor braking starts until the main contactor in the
power source opens. It can be adjusted between 0 and 0.5 seconds by potentiometer
13RP3.
13AP1:8 Wire feed speed
The wire feed speed range is from 1.9 to 20 metres per minute for the Feed 302 and 1.9 to
25 metres per minute for the YardFeed.
A 5 V reference voltage signal at connection A02 represents a speed of 20 metres per
minute.
The processor monitors the wire feed speed. If the wire speed deviates from the set value
by more than 1.5 m/min for more than five seconds, wire feed will be stopped.
13AP1:9 Gas valve
The gas valve is connected to board contacts G04 and G05. The valve is energised via triac
TC1.

13AP1:10 Activation, contactor
The start signal to the power source is connected to board contact G03. The contactor is
energised via triac TC102.
13AP1:11 Gas purge / Inching
Gas purging, flushes gas without voltage or wire feed starting.
Wire inching is used to feed wire without welding voltage being applied.
The gas purge and inching functions are only used by the YardFeed 200.
13AP1:12 Processor, Starting sequence
Processor
The processor stores the equipment program. It monitors the power supply voltages: if the
voltages drop to too low a level, wire feed is stopped, as described in section 13AP1:1
above.
Starting sequence, circuit board 0487 162 88X
The circuit board displays the starting sequence from power-up.
1. LED1 lights red during 5 seconds. The software is in the boot mode.
2. LED1, LED2 and LED3 lights green. The software has started the application
mode.
3. LED1 flashes continuously with a green light. The board is initiated, and the wire
feed unit is in the application program.
The starting sequence above applies to boards with software version 2.00A and later.
Boards with software version 0.27A have LED indication as described in paragraphs 2 and 3
above.
Boards with software version prior to 0.27A have no LED indication.
The software version is indicated by a label on the processor, IC6.
