Screen 9 – Inputs from the plasma system

Plasma Inputs: Shows the selected input type based on the settings of the input switches on the THC processor board

(141091). DRY/SOURCED

Motion: Indicates that the torch has transferred to the workpiece and that cutting motion can begin. On/Off

Error: Indicates that there is a plasma system error. Look for plasma errors on the CNC or plasma system. On/Off

Rampdown Err: Indicates that there is an error during the plasma system rampdown. On/Off

Not Ready: Indicates that the plasma system is ready to fire the torch. This turns ON during a change in process while

the torch is purging and not ready to fire. On/Off

CNC-RS422: Indicates whether RS-422 communication is enabled. On/Off

RS422 R and T: If CNC-RS422 is On, this value indicates whether the plasma system is receiving (R On/Off) or

transmitting (T On/Off) serial communication with the CNC.

Screen 10 – Outputs to the plasma system

Corner: Indicates whether corner processing (Corner Current Percent) has been set at the CNC or HMI. This value

should be the same as the value for the CNC input Corner hold (
