ArcGlide communication
The diagrams on the next two pages illustrate discrete and Hypernet communication that the ArcGlide THC uses to
exchange signals with the CNC and the plasma system. Use the following table to distinguish between discrete and
Hypernet communication.
Communication style Data architecture Cabling configuration
Discrete
Discrete I/O and serial
data
A dedicated cable to each component from the ArcGlide control
module; within each cable, there is a dedicated wire for each signal
Hypernet Ethernet data packets
A standard, Cat-5e, shielded Ethernet cable from the Ethernet
switch to each component of the cutting system
Note that both communication styles transmit the same signals. The difference is in the way the signals are “packaged”
for transmission over the two cabling configurations.
Notes Do not use redundant (both discrete and Hypernet) communication between the same two components in
the same ArcGlide configuration.
