Steady state (12)
During the Steady state (12), the system does a check for correct coolant flow rate, gas pressures,
temperatures, and chopper currents. It also does a check for the Plasma Start signal to be removed for the
selected process.
The Steady state (12) uses the process that was sent by the operator (piercing, marking, or cutting).
Does the coolant flow rate stay
in the permitted range?
Do the gas pressures stay in
the permitted range?
Continue to Ramp-down state (13).
Continue troubleshooting
steps to identify
the problem.
Does the current for the choppers
stay in the permitted range?
Do the temperatures stay in
the permitted range?
Is the Plasma Start signal removed?

If the process is less ≤ 50 A, only
Chopper 1 is ON. If the operator-
selected process is ≥ 50 A, monitor all
of the choppers.
