Set Arc Current
The Set Arc Current feature allows the user to set the arc current at the Plasma Marking
supply. This feature uses the “Set Current BCD” output from the control to activate the
BCD inputs at the Plasma Marking supply. EIA RS-274D part program code G59 Vvalue
Fvalue for setting current is supported.
Corner Current Percent
The Corner Current Percent feature allows the operator to select a reduced current setting
to be executed when cutting corners to improve marking quality. This value is a
percentage of the Set Current (above) and is active when the Torch Height Disable
Output is on.
Ignition
(Ignition Output Enable) The Ignition Off/On selection allows the operator to use the
Ignition Output when marking if set to On.
Cut Control Used for Marking
This parameter is used to determine if the Cut Control output is to be used for activating
the Marking tool. If set to no, the Marking Output would be used.
Marker Down/Up With Each Marker On/Off
The Marker Down/Up With Each Marker On/Off will command the send the appropriate
Up/Down Output commands at each Mark On/ Off.
Arc On Feedback
Specifies whether an arc-on signal from a plasma marking system to the control is used.
With Arc On Feedback ON, the control waits for Cut/Mark Sense input to activate before
initiating machine motion.
Partial Raise
Enabling the Partial Raise feature will execute a tool raise at the end of the Mark within a
nest for the time specified in the Partial Up Time parameter. Full raise will be executed
at the end of the final Mark segment.
Down On During Mark
Turning on the Down On During Mark feature forces the torch down output to remain on
throughout the marking process. This is advantageous for pneumatic style torch lifters
that require a constant output.
Down On Between Marks
Turn on the Down On Between Marks feature to force the Torch Down Output to remain
on while traversing between marking segments.
Note: Please refer to the Program Codes section of this guide for information on the
Marker Font Generator feature.
