Setups 62
Input/Output
Allows current state of selected Input, Outputs or Status information to be displayed during cutting.
This can be especially useful in debugging gas control sequencing problems. To add or delete a
desired Input, Output or Status point to the Input/Output list box, Double click the disired item or
highlight the desired item and + (add) or – (delete) keys on the alpha-numeric keypad.
Position
Allows the position for the selected axis to be displayed. Only two axes may be displayed at the
Upper or Middle locations. The Lower location will allow up to four axes to be displayed.
Following Error
Allows the Following Error to be displayed. Following Error is the distance between the position the
control has calculated and the actual position of the torch. A large Following Error may indicate that
the cut speed selected may be beyond the capability of the cutting system. Only two axes may be
displayed at the Upper or Middle locations. The Lower location will allow up to four axes to be
displayed.
Command Voltage
Allows the user to view directional motion command voltage being sent to the amplifier for velocity
type drives. This displayed voltage also equates to current being commanded for motion in current
type drives. Peak voltage can be displayed for a specified amount of time.
Temperature
Selecting to add the Temperature information to the Watch window will display the current
temperature inside the control in Fahrenheit or Celsius (selected at the Special Setups screen).
Note: Specific control hardware required.
Speedometer
Allows cut speed, maximum machine speed and current machine speed to be graphically displayed
while cutting.
Oxy Fuel Torch Tip
Allows the selected oxy fuel torch tip (1- 12) consumable life to be graphically displayed while cutting.
This is especially useful in helping to determine when the torch tip should be replaced and keeping
track of torch tip data for statistical process control (SPC).
Plasma Torch Tip
Allows the selected plasma torch tip (1- 8) consumable life to be graphically displayed while cutting.
This is especially useful in helping to determine when the torch tip should be replaced and keeping
track of torch tip data for statistical process control (SPC).
Plasma Electrode
Allows the selected plasma electrode (1- 8) consumable life to be graphically displayed while cutting.
This is especially useful in helping to determine when the electrode should be replaced and keeping
track of electrode data for statistical process control (SPC).
