• Start with Hypertherm-supplied ArcGlide CNC interface cable and terminate the Picopath end.
• This example uses CNC outputs 10, 11, 12, and inputs 11 and 12. Map I/O in Phoenix software accordingly.
• Multiple wires are the same color. Verify pin-to-pin connections before plugging cables into equipment.
• Incorrect wiring can cause permanent damage to Picopath or ArcGlide circuits.
• Set ArcGlide CNC inputs to dry with the slide switch on the control module.
• ArcGlide interlock must be satisfied (closed) to enable ArcGlide motion.
