Pierce Complete Input When active, the system will use shield preflow gases during
piercing. When the signal is removed, it will switch to shield cutflow
gases
Corner Current Input When active, the system will switch to user specified corner current.
Remote Power Input Used to turn the power on or off
Not Ready for Start Output When on, this signal indicates that the plasma system is not ready for
a plasma start signal. This could be because the system is purging or
in test gas mode.
Ramp-down Error Output Indicates the arc did not ramp-down properly. Consumable life is
shortened.
