FineLine Overview
The “Type V” control offers the additional option of interfacing directly to InnerLogic’s
FineLine Power Supply for setup via a user selected RS-422 serial port. This advanced
feature transmits all necessary power supply settings from the control directly to the
FineLine power supply configuring it for use.
The power supply setup is performed through the use of a Cut Chart (cut process
parameter database) which is based on eight process variables. The combination of these
eight process variables are tied to the settings for the cut process parameters (e.g. arc
voltage, pierce delay, etc.) that are transmitted to the supply. For additional convenience,
consumable part numbers for the FineLine are displayed at the Change Consumable
screen.
This database allows the user to select factory recommended settings or amend the
database for personalized settings. The Cut Chart information may be saved or loaded
via the hard drive or floppy drive. Specialized Cut Chart files containing the factory
recommended settings are available from the control vendor.
The Power Supply parameter must first be enabled in the password protected Station
Configuration setups to allow the Cut Chart Information for the feature to be enabled for
use. Once selected at the Station Configurations screen, the port must then be selected
for communications on the Ports setup screen and the selected port must then be
configured as RS-422. For more information on configuration of the port, refer to the
Ports information section of this guide.
