USER MANUAL
Features
The Neuron.THC comes standard with the following features:
• Works with ALL plasma cutters
• Connect via 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface to UCCNC CNC and controls Z axis directly
(Internal motion controller, Software DSP (digital signal processing) control loop, 500 uSec
cycle)
• Unlimited number of cut profiles for different metal thicknesses. Quickly switch between
profiles and the ability to quick edit them
• Set point resolution - 0.25V
• Set point range - 25 - 250V (set just by clicking the mouse button and wheel on the
Target Arc Voltage textbox on Control Panel or turning the encoder knob on the operator
panel)
• Maximum control accuracy - +/- 0.25V
• Height control accuracy +/-0.125 mm (.005") using a properly configured Z-axis.
• Voltage feedback (divider) - 1:20 (for Hypertherm), 1:10 (internal) of Arc Voltage
• 100 kHz maximum step frequency (50% Duty cycle)
• Automatic or manual control of the cutting sequence
• Sample voltage mode - THC measures the voltage at the end of the AVC Delay and uses it
as a set point for the remainder of the cut.
• Programmable THC OFF (Hold signal) control to help prevent torch crashing when end of
cut, circle of small radius - enable/disable, mm.
• Programmable arc voltage limiter to help prevent torch crashing when crossing a kerf -
enable/disable, level, voltage
• Programmable arc voltage control loop proportional gain (system response)
• Skip IHS mode - If the next starting point is within this distance of the end of the previous
cut, the THC skips the IHS.
• Improved Jog - the lifter initially jogs 0.25 mm. After 0.5 second, it begins continuous
motion at the IHS Speed. After 1.5 seconds, the lifter increases the speed to the
programmed Manual Speed
Jog just by clicking the mouse button and wheel on the Position textbox or by pressing the
up / down button on Operator Panel
• Automatic Collision Avoidance. This safety feature allows the control to automatically
adjust the torch height during a cut to help prevent torch crashes.
• Retract height selectable between full or programmed partial raise height
• Programmable automatic positioner speed
• Programmable manual positioner speed
• Programmable maximum Z axis stroke (Soft Limit function)
• Programmable arc transfer height
• Programmable pierce height
• Programmable pierce time
• Programmable cutting height
• Programmable AVC (automatic voltage control) delay time
• Programmable torch retract height
• Programmable Jump height above the workpiece that the torch is raised to clear the top
dross puddle that can form during the pierce.
• Programmable IHS (initial height sensing) touch speed
• Programmable crossover height (high-to-low speed transition point)
• Buffered Step & Direction for direct interface to Motor Drive
• All inputs (include arc voltage) are isolated and Simple wiring (RJ45 connectors)
• Built-in pierce and cut time counter to control consumables
• Integrated diagnostic system informs the operator of the errors that occurred
• Ability to tune arc voltage converter
• Plotting the arc voltage and save to file for diagnostics
• Easy Software update using the utility Neuron Flasher
