2 – Machine Setup
Z Home Switch: Indicates that the machine has traveled to its Z axis home position. If the Z axis Use Home Limit Switch
parameter is set to Yes and a homing function is performed, the Z axis moves in the specified home direction
at the fast home speed until the input is activated. The Z axis then decelerates to a stop and moves in the
opposite direction at the slow home speed until the switch is deactivated. After the switch is deactivated, the
Z axis decelerates to a stop or, if the Use Marker Pulse parameter is set to Yes, continues until the encoder
marker pulse is detected.
Digital Output Definitions
Abrasive Control: Used exclusively with waterjet cut logic to activate the abrasive control, adding abrasive to the cut
stream while cutting, or for charging the abrasive prior to cutting.
Assist Gas: Used exclusively with the laser cut logic to activate the assist gas.
Auto OHC 1 – 20: Instructs the Sensor OHC to operate the specified station in automatic mode
Bleed Off Gas: Used by the oxyfuel cut logic to send an output to the oxy torch to purge gases at the end of a cut. This
output is on for the duration of the Bleed Off time selected in setups.
Change Consumable: Activates when a consumable data value on the Change Consumable screen has reached its
preset maximum. Generally, this output is tied to an external indicator light or audible alarm to prompt the
system operator to change the appropriate consumable. The affected consumable data must be reset on the
Change Consumable screen to clear the output.
CNC/Tracer: Controls a CNC relay. The CNC relay determines whether the CNC, tracing system, or joystick is
commanding the amplifiers. This output is always active unless the CNC is off, in Teach Trace mode, or is
disabled.
Current Set BCD: Sets the current at the plasma power supply or marker supply. These outputs are tied to the BCD
inputs. Combinations of the current values are used to attain the desired current set point.
Cut Control: Enables the cutting oxygen in oxyfuel mode or starts the plasma system in plasma mode. This output can
also be used to activate a marking device.
Digital Beam: Used exclusively with the laser cut logic to activate the digital beam.
Drill Cycle: This output is activated with an M93 code in the part program. It activates an input on a PLC that is
controlling tool cycles.
Drive Enable: Used to enable the drives during normal functions and to disable the drives during fault conditions.
Fume Extraction Control: When you assign this output, a Fume Extraction Delay timer appears on the I/O screen. The
timer allows the fume extraction equipment to run for a period of time at the end of the part program when
the CNC displays the Main screen. This output turns on at the beginning of a cut, at the start of a rip cut, or
when resuming a cutting after pausing the program. The output turns off when the timer expires either at the
end of the part program or when the operator pauses the part program.
Gas Control Write: Used as part of the HD3070 automatic gas console communications to configure the unit for
operation.
Gas Flow Set 1 – 100: Used as part of the HD3070 automatic gas console communications (BCD) to set gas flow
rates.
