Write operating settings and put the plasma power supply into remote control mode
This write request is not necessary if you let the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC automatically set the operating settings.
Hypertherm strongly recommends that you let the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC set the operating settings. Refer to
Programming recommendations on page 19.
To override automatic settings and put the Powermax65/85/105 SYNC into remote control mode,
the CNC must write values to the following registers:
0x3080 (operating mode setting)
0x3081 (output current (A) setting)
0x3082 (gas pressure setting)
To avoid 0-11-n faults, make sure to write to all 3 registers in 1 request.
0x3080 (operating mode setting)
0x3081 (output current (A) setting)
Description: Sets the operating mode. The following values are permitted:
• 0x0001 (cut)
• 0x0002 (expanded metal)
• 0x0003 (gouge)
Encoding or scaling: 16-bit, fixed-point binary with 1-bit sign at MSB and 0-bit decimal at LSB
Unit: N/A
Functions (hex): 10 (Write Multiple Registers) (recommended)
Also supported:
06 (Write Single Register)
Description: Sets the output current (A).
To specify the output current (A) that you want: Multiply the output current (A) that
you want by 64, and convert the product to its hexadecimal value.
For example, to set the output current (A) to 65 A: 65 x 64 = 4160 = 0x1040
Encoding or scaling: 16-bit, fixed-point binary with 1-bit sign at MSB and 6 bit decimal at LSB
Unit: Amperes
Function (hex): 10 (Write Multiple Registers) (recommended)
Also supported:
06 Write Single Register
