ArcGlide THC Instruction Manual 3-9
OPERATION
Operating the HMI
If your plasma cutting system does not include a CNC connected with Hypernet, the HMI is required so an operator
can control the ArcGlide THC. On the HMI, the operator can set parameters, read error and diagnostic messages, and
manually control the position of the torch.
If your system includes a CNC connected to Hypernet, most control and diagnostic activities will take place on the
CNC. In this case, the HMI is optional and can be used to display messages and status.

There are four sets of information that display in the HMI parameter window:
• The Main display provides actual information about the ArcGlide.
• The Setup parameters display provides information about the process setup of the ArcGlide.
• The Diagnostics display shows the latest error message and control state of the system.
• The Installation display provides access to lifter hardware specifications and the values of parameters that are used
by the control module.
The screen displays four lines at a time. The large knob below the parameter window allows you to scroll up and down
through each display.
To change the value of a parameter:
1. Use the selection knob to scroll to the parameter and highlight it.
2. Press the knob to select the parameter.
3. Rotate the knob to scroll through the value options.
4. Press the knob when you have selected the appropriate option.
Note: If you do not select a new value in 5 seconds, the value reverts to the original entry.
All the information on the displays is described in the following sections.
For more information about the LEDs, switches, and other controls, see the Specifications section.
