10.9.4 Plasma – additional functions for plasma cutters
In current software version we have one option
available – torch high control via analog input.
Configuration is only about to enable the func-
tion, select polarization, and to select analog
input.
The function, with normal polarization, works the
way that for 0V on analog input there is correc-
tion entered in THC min, and for 10V - THC max
configured in Mach3 screen. With reversed polar-
ization – for 0V there is THC max, and for 10V -
THC min.
Attention! – Plasma generators are dangerous because of high voltage on electrodes. To analog inputs of
CSMIO/IP you should connect only galvanically isolated signal and also well filtered (it’s good to place RC
filter in the connector). Incompetent connection of signals of a plasma generator to CSMIO/IP controller
may cause its damage.
10.9.5 Misc IO – Special functions related to I/O
10.9.5.1 Servo drive RESET
Any CSMIO/IP controller output can be assigned
as a RESET signal for servo drives. On the output
there will be a short pulse every time when in
Mach3 the RESET function will be called.
10.9.5.2 HV Enable
In this place you can – for any CSMIO/IP control-
ler output – assign a function of main voltage
activation (e.g. for servo drives). In many alarm situations like e.g. E-STOP signal activation, additionally
main supply disconnection it may increase security level.
Output defined as „HV Enable” will be active during normal work of CSMIO/IP controller, in case of any
alarm situations, such as limit switch or E-Stop touch, the signal will become inactive.
