Get data from the plasma power supply
Read the plasma power supply settings
To read the plasma power supply settings, the CNC reads the values in the following registers:
0x3010 (operating mode setting)
0x3011 (output current (A) setting)
0x3012 (gas pressure setting)
0x3010 (operating mode)
0x3011 (output current (A) setting)
Description: Reads the operating mode setting. Valid values are as follows:
• 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
Function (hex): 04 (Read Registers)
Description: Reads the hexadecimal value for the output current (A) setting.
Convert the hexadecimal value to decimal, and then divide that decimal value by 64
to get the output current (A).
Encoding or scaling: 16-bit, fixed-point binary with 1-bit sign at MSB and 6 bit decimal at LSB
Unit: Amperes
