– Set the parity-check configuration and stop-bit configuration for this Powermax. Make
sure that the values in this field are the same as the values at the CNC.
Select one of the following values for parity checking:
Select one of the following values for stop bit:
– This is the Modbus node address for this Powermax. The default value is zero (0). Use
zero (0) for Hypertherm’s EDGE Pro CNC.
For cutting systems with 1 Powermax plasma power supply: Keep the default value
of zero (0).
A value of zero (0) lets the CNC set the node address for the Powermax automatically.
The node address is set by the first valid Modbus request message that the Powermax
receives from the CNC after the Powermax power switch is set to the ON (I) position.
This field continues to show a value of zero (0) during Modbus communication to
indicate that the node address is being controlled by the CNC.
For cutting systems with 2 or more Powermax plasma power supplies: Select a
unique number from 1 to 255 for each Powermax.
After you set the node address for this Powermax, do a cold restart.
Make sure that the CNC uses this node address when it communicates with each
Powermax.
E Even (default)
O Odd
N No parity checking
Notice: Use No parity checking for Hypertherm’s EDGE Pro CNC.
1 1 stop bit (default)
Notice: Use 1 for Hypertherm’s EDGE Pro CNCs.
2 2 stop bits
