7 – Plasma Setup
The cut sequence begins when you press Cycle Start. At Cycle Start, the CNC begins reading and executing the part
program.
State and Status message: Lowering Torch
Initiated when: The CNC reads the M07 code in the part program.
 The torch height control performs its initial height sense (IHS).
 Torch Height Disable output turns on and remains on until the cutting system reaches cutting speed.
 Cut Control and Hold Ignition turn on if Preflow During IHS is on in the Process screen.
State and Status Message: Waiting for Arc On
Initiated when: IHS completes.
 Cut Control output turns on. Cut Control activates the Plasma Start input to the plasma supply.
 Cut Control remains on until the CNC reads the M08 code (Cut Off) in the part program.
 The Pierce Control output turns on for an HPR plasma supply.
State and status message: Piercing
Initiated when: The plasma supply ignites an arc.
 The plasma supply turns on the Motion output.
 The Cut Sense input at the CNC turns on.
 The CNC delays motion until the Pierce Time set in the Process screen elapses.
 The Pierce Control output turns on until the Pierce Time elapses.
State and status message: Creeping
Initiated when: Creep motion begins.
 Creep motion continues until the Creep Time elapses. If Creep Time is not set in the Process screen, no creep
motion will be used. Creep speed is a percentage of Cut Speed set on the Setups > Password > Machine Setups >
Speeds screen.
State and status message: Cutting
Initiated when: Cutting system accelerates to Cut Speed.
 Torch Height Disable turns off after the cutting system reaches cutting speed.
 Torch Height Disable toggles on and off while cutting whenever the actual cut speed drops to a percentage below the
set cut speed (the Torch Height Disable Speed that is set in the Speeds screen).
State and status message: Raising Torch
Initiated when: The CNC reads the M08 code (Cut Off) in the part program.
 Cut Control turns off, which turns off the Start input at the plasma supply.
 The Motion output at the plasma supply turns off, which turns off the Cut Sense input at the CNC.
 For a non-HPR plasma supply, when Cut/Mark Sense input at the CNC turns off, it starts a retract delay timer
and waits before retracting the torch because the arc may still be present.
