2 – Machine Setup
Remote Air Plasma: Used as part of the HD3070 automatic gas console communications to signal the Air Plasma
output.
Remote H35/ N
2
Plasma: Used as part of the HD3070 automatic gas console communications to signal the H35/N
2
output.
Remote O2 Plasma: Used as part of the HD3070 automatic gas console communications to signal the O2 Output.
Remote Test Operate: Used as part of the HD3070 automatic gas console communications to initiate the remote test.
Remote Test Preflow: Used as part of the HD3070 automatic gas console communications to test operation of preflow
gases.
Shutter Open: Used exclusively with the laser cut logic to open the laser shutter for use.
Spare: Activated through the part program. If a spare output is located in the part program, the CNC turns on the output
as directed. The Spare outputs can be implemented with specific EIA “W” and “M” codes that indicate the
output number and function. For more information, refer to the
Programmer’s Reference.
Staged Pierce 1 – 4: Control oxygen regulators to increase the flow of oxygen to the flame in the torch and speed
piercing. The timing of each output is determined by the values in the Staged Pierce Time 1-3 parameters on
the Oxyfuel Process screen.
Station Clamp 1 – 19: Used as part of the Automated Torch Spacing feature. The Station Clamp is used to clamp the
selected torch station to the transverse axis for standard cutting.
Station Enable 1 – 20: Activates any function specific to a torch station and are controlled through M37T and M38T
codes within a part program. These codes generally enable a torch station for use. Usually, stations 1-8 are
configured with plasma and stations 9-20 are configured with oxyfuel or other types of fuel. However,
plasma can only be configured on stations 1-8.
Station Lock 1 – 19: Is part of the Automated Torch Spacing feature. The station lock locks the unused torch station to
the gantry or beam when the torch is not in use.
Station Mirror 1 – 19: Used as part of the Automated Torch Spacing feature. The station mirror is used to clamp the
selected torch station to the transverse axis for mirrored cutting.
Tap Cycle: This output is activated with an M95 code in the part program. It activates an input on a PLC that is
controlling a tool cycle.
Tool Change: This output is activated with an M96 code in the part program. It activates an input on a PLC that is
controlling a tool change.
Torch Down: Lowers the cutting torch. It is activated for the “Primary Torch Down Time” and the “Pierce Torch Down
Time” in oxyfuel mode. It is activated for the “Torch Down Time” in plasma mode.
Torch Height Disable/Dual Grid Control: Disables the automatic torch height control in plasma mode. It is activated
whenever the current axis position is within the “Plasma Distance To Corner” or the “Plasma Distance From
Corner” parameters while cutting a part. It is also active whenever the current cutting speed drops below the
result of (Programmed Cut Speed x (Plasma High/Lo Speed/100)).This output also reduces the plasma
current in a switchable current plasma system when the machine speed is less than the Plasma Hi/Lo speed
percentage.
