Centroid Acorn Plasma Users Manual Beta CNC12 v4.65 rev6
Restart Mode:
Restart mode can be invoked by several actions.
By default, Restart mode is invoked automatically when the job is interrupted. This interruption can be
instigated by: a Torch unexpected flame out while cutting, pressing Restart Mode, pressing Feed Hold,
pressing Tool Check, Pressing Cycle Cancel* while running a job. When restart mode is started
automatically the LED will light up indicating that the backward and forward buttons are active.
Restart mode allows the operator to move the torch along the path of the part program to “pick up” a
restart point using the backward and forward buttons. The operator chosen restart point can be anywhere
on the part cutting path and/or the user can jog off to the side of the part cutting path to add a lead-in line
and location for the restart to touch off and pierce at. To exit restart mode press cycle cancel and the LED
will go off to indicate that restart mode is off and the backward and forward buttons will no longer be active.
Move Backwards: Press to jog backwards along the part cutting path
Move Forward: Press to jog forward along the part cutting path
Restart Notes:
1.) Restart mode will automatically start when an unexpected collision occurs while running a job. To
cancel this restart, press ESC.
2.) If you are running a job and desire to enter restart mode the preferred methods are pressing any one of
these buttons. Reason is these buttons do a controlled stop that does not lose position.
3.) *If any of these buttons: ESC, Cycle Cancel, E stop, or Reset are pressed during a Job when using
OPEN LOOP stepper motors the operator should re-home the machine. Open loop steppers will lose
