conditions, it is possible to get the best results when you use the default settings that come with a process
ID.
1. Go to the process selection screen on the CNC or to the Operate screen on the XPR web interface.
2. Select the process ID:
a. Examine the list of available processes.
b. Identify the process that best aligns with your cutting application.
For example, select process ID 1153 to start the settings for 170 A, 12 mm (0.5 inch), mild
steel, O
2
/Air.
Process selection must occur during the Initial Checks state.
3. If none of the processes are satisfactory:
a. Select an available process that is almost the same.
b. Send the necessary offset command or commands to adjust the setting or settings as
necessary.
What to do next: If an unusual cutting process is necessary, speak to your cutting machine supplier or
regional Hypertherm Technical Service team.
Process ID offsets / overrides
You can adjust some preprogrammed settings with an offset or override command.
An offset/override command is a type of serial RS-422, EtherCAT, or wireless (XPR web interface through
Wi-Fi) signal that lets you change the default value of a setting within a permitted limit.
For example, if a preprogrammed plasma pressure value is 65, and you want to change it to 70, send an
offset command of 5 (65 + 5 = 70). You can also use the XPR web interface to send the plasma pressure
value that you want (70).
Offset settings stay on until you send a new process ID to the cutting system or until power is removed
from the cutting system.
For descriptions of offset commands and the permitted limits for each adjustable setting, refer to the CNC
Communication Protocol for the XPR Cutting System (809810).
Cut charts
A cut chart contains parameters that are necessary to get optimal results for your cutting process with
special materials and thicknesses.
