HD4070 Instruction Manual e-5
Comment – Not while cutting.
Command Data – (material) (thickness), blank delimited, e.g. “3 23” requests material 3, thickness 23
Response Data – process description(s) separated by linefeeds (see process description below)
GET_ACTIVE_PROC – request for process currently active on power supply.
Comment – Not while cutting.
Response Data – process description (see process description below) if there is no active process, the Response
Data will have a process number of zero
READ_CTR1, READ_CTR2 – read counter/timer number 1 or 2
Comment –
Only the counter for the active torch can be read while cutting.
Response Data – six fields of counter/timer data (see Counter_Timer_Text below) blank delimited
ZERO_CTR1, ZERO_CTR2 – clear specified counter/timer to zero
Comment – Will have no effect if cutting, due to EMI/disk-access concerns.
Response Data – (none)
LOAD_STD_PROC, LOAD_CUST_PROC – load specified process
Comment – Will be ignored if cutting.
Command Data – (material) (process number) blank delimited
Response Data – (process number loaded) Process number zero is reserved to indicate an error.
GET_DFLT_PROC – get the process number of the default process
Comment – Not while cutting due to EMI/disk-access concerns.
Response Data – (material) (process number) (0=standard or 1=custom) blank delimited e.g., “3 33 1” means the
default process is material=3, proc_number=33, custom
SAVE_PROC – save current settings to custom database; make this the active process
Comment – Not while cutting.
Response Data – (proc_number loaded) or zero on error
GET_CONFIG – request description of current hardware configuration
Command Data – (none)
Response Data – (torches installed)(THC installed)(slave installed) as for SET_CONFIG command data
SET_CONFIG – send description of current hardware configuration to PS setup mode
Comments – Configuration cannot be changed while cutting.
The present HD4070 does not allow a slave configuration.
Command Data – (torches installed)(THC installed)(slave installed)
as a single three-digit decimal number, i.e., no spaces
torches installed: 0=neither, 1=first, 2=second, 3=both
THC installed: 0=neither, 1=first, 2=second, 3=both
slave installed: 0=no, 1=yes
e.g., “110” means Torch #1 with a THC is installed
Response Data – (none)
GET_TORCH – determine currently selected torch
Response Data – (number of active torch)
number: 0=neither torch, 1=first torch, 2=second torch
SET_TORCH1, SET_TORCH2 – select specified torch
Comment – Power supply will not allow a torch change while cutting.
Response Data – (number of torch selected)
number: 0=neither torch, 1=first torch, 2=second torch
