Output Definitions
Output Description
Spare
Activated through the part program. If a spare output is
located in the part program, the CNC turns on the output as
directed. The Spare outputs can be implemented with
specific EIA “W” and “M” codes that indicate the output
number and function. Refer to Appendix A for a complete
description of these commands.
Torch Up
Raises the cutting torch. It is activated for the “Primary
Torch Up Time” and the “Pierce Torch Up Time” in oxy
fuel mode. It is activated for the “Torch Up Time” in
plasma mode.
Torch Down
Lowers the cutting torch. It is activated for the “Primary
Torch Down Time” and the “Pierce Torch Down Time” in
oxy fuel mode. It is activated for the “Torch Down Time”
in plasma mode.
Ignition Control
Turns on the igniters in oxy fuel mode or ignites the plasma
system in plasma mode.
Torch Height Disable
/Dual Grid Control
Disables the automatic torch height controller in plasma
mode. It is activated whenever the current axis position is
within the “Plasma Distance To Corner” or the “Plasma
Distance From Corner” parameters while cutting a part. It
is also active whenever the current cutting speed drops
below the result of (Programmed Cut Speed x (Plasma
High/Lo Speed/100)).
This output also reduces the plasma current in a switchable
current plasma system when the machine speed is less than
the Plasma Hi/Lo speed percentage.
Reduce Current Used with the HD4070 to switch the plasma to low current
mode.
CNC/Tracer
Controls a CNC relay. The CNC relay determines whether
the control, tracing system, or joystick is commanding the
amplifiers. This output is always active unless the CNC is
off, in Teach Trace mode, or is disabled.
Marker / Marker Enable
Activates an external marking device. It can only be
activated by the appropriate “M” code in the part program.
