Input Description
Spare
Spare inputs are activated through the part program. If a Spare input is
located in the part program, the control will pause the process until the
input state is detected. The Spare inputs may be used by use of specific
EIA “O” and “M” codes indicating the input number and function. Refer to
Appendix A in the operator’s manual for a complete description of these
commands.
Torch Up Sense
Confirmation signal indicating that the torch is in the full up position.
Torch Down Sense
Confirmation signal indicating that the torch is in the full down position.
Preheat Sense
Confirmation signal indicating that the Preheat Input from the torch is
active.
Cut Sense
Activation of this input indicates that the plasma arc has transferred to
the work piece. If the “Arc On Feedback” setup parameter is ON, then
machine motion will begin at the activation of this input. Type “M” and
“P” controls.
Tracer on Path
Tracer On Path is used with the Teach Trace feature and indicates that
the tracing system has detected the template line.
Drive Disabled
If the Drive Disabled input is activated, the control will stop all motion and
generate a fault message. Position information will be lost.
Remote Pause
A Remote Pause input, when activated, will stop all control motion and
display the Pause screen. No motion will be allowed until this input is
deactivated.
Remote Start
When a Remote Start input is detected, it will begin the selected program
cycle as if the Start button on the control had been pressed.
Program Inhibit
The Program Inhibit input will force the control to command the motion
output to a zero (0) speed. This is generally used as a dwell to pause
motion during a tool change or as a pause from a PLC interface.
Raise/ Lower Torch
The type “V” control has the ability to operate multiple Sensor™ THCs
which are commanded by the control, as separate axes. The Sensor™
THC Torch Raise and Torch Lower commands may be made through the
software softkeys or through the use of these external inputs to the
control.
Station Select Input
The type “V” control system has the ability to operate multiple Sensor™
THCs which are commanded by the control as separate axes. The
control requires an input to indicate which Sensor™ THCs are active. Is
Input is also used for tracking of consumable data for the specified
Plasma or Oxy Torch. Station 1-8 are designated for Plasma and
stations 9-20 are designated for Oxy Fuel.
