CNC
A computerized numeric control (CNC) controls cutting system operation. The CNC has the
following functions:
 Executes part programs from computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided
manufacturing (CAM) software.
 Sends commands to the cutting system through a CNC interface cable (or wireless
connection) between the CNC (or wireless device) and the plasma power supply.
 Reacts to feedback signals it receives from the cutting system and (or) operator.
Multiple cutting system commands, settings, and displays are visible and controllable from different
CNC screens.
CNC screens can include the following:
 Main (control) screen
 Process setup screen
 Diagnostic screen
 Test screen
 Cut chart screen

See the instruction manual that came with your CNC for descriptions of
CNC screens.

Wireless device
A wireless device can be used to setup and monitor the XPR cutting system. A wireless device with
the XPR web interface sends commands to the XPR cutting system through a wireless connection
between the wireless device and the plasma power supply.
Multiple cutting system commands, settings, and displays are visible and controllable from different
XPR web interface screens. For information on these screens, refer to Web interface screen
information on page 184.
For information about how to set up a wireless device with the XPR web interface, refer to How to
connect to the plasma power supply with the XPR web interface on page 166.
