Read the Start and Motion signal status of the plasma power supply
To read the status of the plasma power supply, the CNC reads the following coils:
0x3100 (coil: Start switch signal status)
0x3101 (coil: Motion switch signal status)
0x3100 (coil: Start switch signal status)
0x3101 (coil: Motion switch signal status)
Description: Reads the hexadecimal value of the Start switch signal status coil.
Convert the hexadecimal value to binary, as follows:
• 0x00 = 0 (binary) = OFF (Start input is OFF)
• 0x01 = 1 (binary) = ON (Start input is ON)
When the Start input is OFF, the plasma power supply is idle.
When the Start input is ON, there is a pilot arc or the arc has transferred.

Description: Reads the hexadecimal value of the Motion switch signal status coil.
Convert the hexadecimal value to binary, as follows:
• 0x00 = 0 (binary) = OFF (Motion output is OFF)
• 0x01 = 1 (binary) = ON (Motion output is ON)
When the Motion output is OFF, there is no motion.
When the Motion output is ON, there is motion.
