Password Setups

Power Supply OK Used for the optional Automated Process Controller (APC). It
confirms a ready condition from the plasma power supply
before beginning the cut process.
Fast Stop Used as an urgent stop input command to the control. When
the Fast Stop input becomes active, the CNC decelerates
motion using a special Fast Stop Decel parameter, and forces
the operator to the Pause Screen. One second after the input
becomes active, the Drive Enable output from the CNC turns
off and disables motion. Position information and I/O points
are maintained while the input is active. This allows the
operator to recover the last position after the input has been
cleared.
Note: The Fast Stop Decel parameter is located on the
password protected Speeds setup screen.
Torch Collision
Used on torch systems with breakaway mounts. If a torch
makes contact with the plate or an obstacle that causes the
breakaway mount to release, an input for the mount is sent to
the CNC indicating that a torch collision has occurred. The
operator is forced to the Pause screen. While the input is
active, the Cut output is turned off and manual motion is
enabled, allowing the operator to raise, lower and move the
torch position to clear the fault.
Note: Position information, motion command, and I/O points
are maintained and allow the operator to return to the cut path
and resume cutting. This feature uses the Fast Stop
Deceleration rate. Manual raise inputs can be used.
Joystick (Direction)
Command manual motion (up, down, left, and right) when
using an external joystick.
Fume Extraction Sense
If selected, this input confirms that an external Fume
Extraction system on the cutting table is operational before
beginning the cut. An option to override is displayed if the
input has not been satisfied at the time of the cut.
Cut/Mark Sense 1& 2
Verifies that the plasma torch or marker tool has established
the arc for the selected process. This indicates to the CNC
that motion can begin. (Type “V” controls).
THC Cut Sense
Verifies that the plasma torch or marker tool has established
the arc for the selected Sensor THC and indicates to the CNC
that motion can begin. (Type “V” controls).
