Read the total cut counts for this plasma power supply
To read the total cut counts for this plasma power supply, the CNC reads the values in the following
registers:
0x3028 (total number of torch starts – bytes 1 and 0)
0x3029 (total number of torch starts – bytes 3 and 2)
0x302A (cumulative pilot arc time – bytes 1 and 0)
0x302B (cumulative pilot arc time – bytes 3 and 2)
0x302C (total number of arc transfers – bytes 1 and 0)
0x302D (total number of arc transfers – bytes 3 and 2)
0x302E (cumulative arc transfer time – bytes 1 and 0)
0x302F (cumulative arc transfer time – bytes 3 and 2)
0x3028 (total number of torch starts – bytes 1 and 0)
Value Description
: Start of message
01 Plasma power supply node address (confirmed)
04 Read Registers (confirmed)
04 Quantity of bytes in the Data segment (0x04 = 4)
1040 0x1040 = 4160/64 = 65 A
23DD 0x23DD = 9181/128 = 72 psi
A7 LRC
<CR><LF> End
Description: Reads the hexadecimal value of the low word (bytes 1 and 0) for the total number
of torch starts that the plasma power supply has done in its life.
Refer to 0x3029 (total number of starts – bytes 3 and 2).
Encoding or scaling: 32-bit unsigned binary number
Unit: Number
