Retry On Transfer Fail
The Retry On Transfer Fail feature is used to specify the number of times the control will
attempt to fire the torch in the event that the torch fails to ignite.
Transfer Time
The Transfer Time parameter specifies the amount of time used to attempt ignition of the
torch. The ignition is confirmed by the Arc Sense Input (Arc on Feedback) to the control.
Arc on Feedback
Specifies whether an arc-on (also called Plasma Go, Current Sense, Arc Transferred)
signal from the plasma system to the control is used. With Arc On Feedback on, the
control waits for Cut Sense input to activate before initiating machine motion.
Ignition
Enables use of the Ignition output for use in igniting the plasma torch. If your plasma
system requires a separate ignition signal, toggle Ignition to ON. If not, leave Ignition
OFF.
Dual Grid/THC
The Dual Grid parameter enables use of the Torch Height Disable output. This output is
used to disable an automatic torch height sensor or reduce the plasma current in a
switchable current plasma system when machine speed is less than Plasma Hi/Lo Speed.
Dual Grid/THC Start
If Dual Grid is ON, the start mode can be configured to start (HI) or (LOW) at ignition
time. For switchable plasma systems, this usually means that in low mode the plasma
system will only deliver 50% of the maximum output power.
Partial Raise
Enabling the Partial Raise feature will execute a tool raise at the end of the cut segment
within a nest for the time specified in the Partial Up Time parameter. Full raise will be
executed at the end of the final cut segment.
Torch Down During Cut
Turning on the Torch Down During Cut feature forces the torch down output to remain
on throughout the cut process. This is advantageous for pneumatic style torch lifters that
require a constant output.
Torch Down Between Cuts
Turning on the Torch Down Between Cuts feature forces the Torch Down Output to
remain on while traversing between cut segments.
