Machine Setup
Overview
Phoenix provides several screens that you use to define your cutting system. The screens are accessed with the Machine
Setups password provided to you by your table manufacturer. This section describes setting up your cutting system
including:
 Defining axis orientation and positive motion
 Identifying all axes on the cutting system
 Setting machine speeds
 Assigning I/O points
 Setting up serial ports
Axis orientation and positive motion
Gantry-table cutting systems are based on the Cartesian coordinate system. Phoenix requires you to define the X axis
and positive motion relative to the table’s 0,0, or absolute home, position. In the Cartesian coordinate system, the X+ and
Y+ motion is represented like this:
Y+
X+ X-
Y-
