Read the ID of the SYNC torch, torch lead, and plasma power supply
To identify the SYNC torch, torch lead, and plasma power supply, the CNC reads the value in the
following register:
0x3000 (torch and plasma power supply identification)
0x3000 (torch and plasma power supply identification)
Value Description
: Start of message
01 Plasma power supply node address (confirmed)
2B0E Read Device Identification (confirmed)

Description: Reads the binary value of the installed torch type and lead length, and the binary
value of the plasma power supply type.
• High byte: the high byte identifies the torch type and lead length. Refer to
Table 3.
• Low byte: the low byte identifies the plasma power supply. Refer to Table 4.
For example, a response that contains a value of 0508 identifies the following:
High byte = 05 = 0x05 (machine torch with 35-foot – 50-foot lead)
Low byte = 08 = 0x08 (Powermax105 SYNC CSA 200 V – 600 V)
