Mixed communication
In a mixed configuration, Hypernet communication is used between the ArcGlide control module and CNC or plasma
system and discrete communication is used for the alternate connection from the ArcGlide control module. When the
HMI is included, it must be connected to the ArcGlide control module with a Hypernet connection. See
Figure 9 and
Figure 10 for details.
