position after the input has been cleared. Note: The Fast Stop Decel
parameter is located on the password protected Speeds setup screen.
Torch Collision
The Torch collision input is used on torch systems with “break away”
style mounts. In the event that a torch should make contact with the
plate or any obstacle which causes the break away mount to release, an
input for the mount would be tied back to the control indicating a torch
collision has occurred. The operator will then be forced to the Pause
Screen. While the input is active, the Cut output will be turned off and
manual motion will be 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 allowing the operator to
return to the cut path and resume cutting.
Output Logic
The control comes standard with eight discrete outputs. The Output Logic parameter is used as a
mask to determine whether or not the output is to be treated as a normally open contact or normally
closed contact.
Logic Selection Box
The Logic Selection box allows the user to select the Logic state for each input to be either normally
open or normally closed. The logic state for the inputs may be switched by selecting the desired
Output and pressing the space key.
Output Selection
The Output Selection box feature is used to define which inputs will be used by the control and their
physical location on the control interface. All controls are shipped with the default selection of
Outputs and interface locations for the selected control Interface ( I/O ) configuration.
Output Definitions
Output Description
Spare
Spare outputs are activated through the part program. If a Spare
output is located in the part, the control will turn on the out put as
directed. The Spare outputs may be used by use of specific EIA “O”
and “M” codes indicating the output number and function. Refer to
Appendix A in the operator’s manual for a complete description of
these commands.
Oxygen Enable
The Oxygen Enable Output is used to enable the oxygen circuit prior
to the Oxygen Start Output to begin the cut.
Oxygen Start
This output is used to enable the cutting oxygen in oxy fuel mode
This output can also be used to activate a marking device.
Preheat
This output is used to enable the high preheat gas when cutting in
oxy fuel mode. It is activated for the “High Preheat Time” when
initiating a cut.
Plasma Enable
The Plasma Enable Output is used to enable the oxygen circuit prior
to the Plasma Start Output to begin the cut.
