Torch Collision The Torch collision input is used on torch systems with “break away”
style mounts. In the event that a torch should make contact with the
plate or any obstacle which causes the break away mount to release, an
input for the mount would be tied back to the control indicating a torch
collision has occurred. The operator will then be forced to the Pause
screen. While the input is active, the Cut output will be turned off and
manual motion will be enabled, allowing the operator to raise, lower and
move the torch position to clear the fault. Note: Position information,
motion command and I/O points are maintained, allowing the operator to
return to the cut path and resume cutting. This feature uses the Fast
Stop Deceleration rate. Manual raise inputs may be used.
Joystick (Direction) The Joystick directional inputs (Up, Down, Left and Right) are used to
command manual motion when using and external joystick.
Fume Extraction Sense If selected, the Fume Extraction input is used to confirm that an
external Fume Extraction system on the cutting table is operational prior
to beginning the cut. An option to override is displayed if the input has
not been satisfied at the time of the cut.
Cut/Mark Sense 1& 2 Cut/Mark Sense (arc on feedback) is used to verify that the plasma
torch or marker tool has established the Arc for the selected process.
This indicates to the control that motion can begin. (Type “V” controls).
THC Cut Sense THC Cut Sense (arc on feedback) is used to verify that the plasma torch
or marker tool has established the Arc for the selected Sensor™ THC .

Plasma Select 1 & 2 The Plasma Select 1 & 2 are used to select which Plasma process logic
will be used by the control. These inputs are generally run by external
switches. (Type “V” controls).
Marker Select 1 & 2 The Marker Select 1 & 2 are used to select which Marker process logic
will be used by the control. These inputs are generally run by external
switches. (Type “V” controls).
Sensor THC Enable The type “V” control system has the ability to operate multiple Sensor™
THCs which are commanded by the control, as separate axes. The
control requires an input to indicate which Sensor™ THCs are active.
This input is now supported by the Station Select input.
THC Homing to Limit The THC Enable Input is used during Sensor™ THC Homing as the
Current Limit input if the “Home to Hard Stop Current Limited” option is
selected.
Nozzle Contact Sense The Nozzle Contact Sense Input is used during Sensor™ THC Initial
Height Sense to detect the location of the cut surface. This input is tied
back to the control through the external Voltage Divider Card.
THC Homing to Switch The Nozzle Contact Sense Input is used during Sensor™ THC Homing
as the Home Switch input, if the “Home to Switch” option is selected.
