Error Messages
The control displays error messages when programming, machine, or internal errors are
detected. A list of the common error messages are explained below in the following
sections.
SERCOS Errors
A number of different errors can be posted from the SERCOS Interface for both motor
and I/O performance. The error messages are specific to the drive and I/O modules in
use. Refer to information supplied by the drive and I/O hardware supplier for the
appropriate actions.
SERCOS Ring Not Running
This error indicates that communication with the SERCOS ring has been lost. Generally,
this is caused by a fault condition on the ring. Check SERCOS hardware and cycle
power.
No Part Loaded
This message displays if the control does not contain a valid part program in memory. To
clear this error message, load a valid part program from either the Shape Library, hard
drive, diskette USB memory, or from a host system.
Part Larger than Plate
This message displays if the part program that has been loaded is larger than the plate
size information in Setups. The operator can ignore the message and continue the cut or
return to Setups to correct the plate size.
Kerf too Large, Arc/Line has Disappeared. Abort Cut?
This message displays if the kerf size selected is too large and will affect the shape of the
part. The operator can continue to cut the part, abort the cut to review the kerf that was
selected, or abort the cut to review the part program for errors. If the operator chooses to
continue cutting the part program that prompted this error, unexpected results can result.
Cut Sense Lost
This message displays if the Arc ON Feedback setup parameter is enabled and the Cut
Sense input is deactivated by the plasma unit while cutting. When this condition occurs,
the control displays the Pause screen. The operator can then use the Cut Recovery
feature to finish cutting the piece.
Communications Time Out
This message displays if the host system does not respond within the time set in the Link
Time Out field for either a Host Upload or Download.
