Operating the HMI
If your cutting machine does not include a CNC connected with Hypernet, the HMI is required so an operator can control
the ArcGlide THC. On the HMI, the operator can set parameters, read error and diagnostic messages, and manually
control the position of the torch.
If your system includes a CNC connected to Hypernet, most control and diagnostic activities will take place on the CNC.
In this case, the HMI is optional and can be used to display messages and status.
Figure 36
There are four sets of information that display in the HMI parameter window:
The Main screen provides actual information about the ArcGlide.
The Setup screen provides information about the process setup of the ArcGlide.
The Diagnostics screen shows the latest error message and control state of the system.
The Installation Data screen provides access to lifter hardware specifications and the values of parameters that are
used by the control module.
The screen displays 4 lines at a time. The selection knob below the parameter window allows you to scroll up and down
through each display.
To change the value of a parameter:
1. Turn the selection knob to scroll to the parameter and highlight it.
2. Push the knob to select the parameter.
3. Turn the knob to scroll through the value options.
4. Push the knob when you have selected the appropriate option.
If you do not select a new value in 5 seconds, the value reverts to the original entry.
All the information on the screens is described in the following sections.
