Voyager III
562
Voyager III incorporates a unique machine interface designed by Hypertherm
Automation to convert SERCOS (Serial Real Time Communication) to a traditional
analog interface. For those not familiar with SERCOS, it is a fiber optic communication
ring for commanding motion and controlling I/O that is available from many drive
suppliers.
This new interface approach allows Voyager III to offer three styles of machine interface,
increasing system flexibility for wiring and features.
Interface options:
1) The standard configuration of Voyager III uses SERCOS internally but provides a
traditional and familiar analog machine interface on the back of the CNC.
2) Standard SERCOS interface with a fiber optic cable connected to SERCOS amplifiers
and I/O.
3) The new SERCOS to Analog conversion card (part # ASSY-0191) is mounted
externally using fiber optic communications to the card. The card then provides a
traditional analog interface output to motion amplifiers and I/O.
Each interface card offers two axes of motion, thirty-two (16/16) 24VDC positive logic
inputs and outputs, plus two analog inputs for Speedpot and Sensor THCs.
The information contained in this section is intended to provide the basic information for
connection of the Voyager III™ Shape Cutting Control to the cutting table. Each
machine interface will vary slightly based on the cutting table configuration and features.
Additionally, I/O pinout information may vary slightly based on the configuration of the
selected I/O and their locations. Changes to the I/O configuration may be made in the
password protected I/O screen. All controls are shipped with the default selection of
Inputs and interface locations for the selected control Interface (I/O) configuration.
Installation and service should only be performed by a qualified service technician. For
more information regarding the I/O process definitions, please refer to the Setups section
of this guide.
