5 – Station Setup

Note: Oxyfuel systems DO NOT require a selection in the Station Configuration screen. Oxyfuel cut charts
become available after you select Oxyfuel as a Tool Installed in the Special Setups screen (Setups > Password
> Special Setups).

For some plasma supplies, such as the HPR or Powermax, selecting the system enables serial communications to
the plasma supply. Use Setups > Password > Machine Setups > Ports to set up serial communication.

Note: Before the Sensor THC and ArcGlide THC become available in the Station Configuration screen, you need
to select the torch height control in the Machine Setups screen (Setups > Password > Machine Setups). You also
need to assign the Sensor THC to an axis.

Use the soft keys to open the Station Configuration screen for Stations 1 – 2, 3 – 4, 5 – 6, 7 - 8.

Use the Reset All soft key to return all settings for all stations to None.

Note: See

Plasma Setup on page 151 for more information on using the Station Configuration screen for a cutting

system with multiple stations.

Conflicting process

A conflicting process is an error condition that pauses a program or prevents a program from loading. A conflicting
process occurs when the cut mode does not match the process (or processes) available for an active cutting station. The
conflicting process routine in Phoenix compares the selected cut mode to the processes assigned to each active station
and looks for a match. This happens automatically after you press Start on the controller. A station is active when the
Station Enable LED output associated with it is active.

For example, if the cut mode is Plasma 1, then all active cutting stations require a Plasma 1 process or the program will
pause with a conflicting process error message.

The check for conflicting process was added to ensure that dissimilar tools cannot operate if both of their stations are
accidently left on by the operator. Conflicting process applies to all processes except Oxyfuel.
