Input Definitions
Input Definition
Spare
Activated through the part program. If a spare input is located
in the part program, the CNC pauses the process until the input
state is detected. The spare inputs can be implemented with
specific EIA “O” and “M” codes that indicate the input number
and function. Refer to Appendix A for a complete description
of these commands.
Torch Up Sense
Indicates that the torch is in the full up position.
Torch Down Sense
Indicates that the torch is in the full down position.
Preheat Sense
Indicates that the preheat input from the torch is active.
Cut Sense
Indicates that the plasma arc has transferred to the work piece.
If the Arc On Feedback setup parameter is ON, machine
motion begins at the activation of this input. Type “M” and
“P” controls.
Tracer on Path
Used with the Teach Trace feature and indicates that the
tracing system has detected the template line.
Drive Disabled
Causes the CNC to stop all motion and generate a fault
message. Position information is lost.
Remote Pause
Stops all CNC motion and displays the Pause screen. No
motion is allowed until this input is deactivated.
Remote Start
Begins the selected program cycle as if the Start button on the
CNC had been pressed.
Program Inhibit
Forces the CNC to command the motion output to a zero (0)
speed. This is generally used as a dwell to pause motion
during a tool change or as a pause from a PLC interface.
Raise/ Lower Torch
Operates multiple Sensor THCs when multiple Sensor THCs
are commanded by the CNC as separate axes. The Torch Raise
and Torch Lower commands can be issued with soft keys or
through these external inputs to the control. Type V control.
Station Select Input
Indicates which Sensor THCs is active when multiple Sensor
THCs are commanded by the CNC as separate axes. Also
tracks consumable data for the specified plasma or oxy torch.
