Ĭonnected from a breakout board output to the scribe-on circuit. This signal is used to place the scribe into position on the work piece. This signal is used to control the Z axis in a downward motion and make necessary corrections to maintain the torch distance from the work piece during cutting.Ĭonnected from a breakout board output to the scribe arming circuit. This signal is used to control the Z axis in an upward motion and make necessary corrections to maintain the torch distance from the work piece during cutting.Ĭonnected from the down output of the external THC control to a break out board input. This signal is used to control the plasma power supply and start the arc.Ĭonnected from the up output of the external THC control to a break out board input. This signal senses if the torch has broken away from its cradle.Ĭonnected from a breakout board output to the torch-on input of the plasma power supply. If an ohmic probe fails to locate the work piece, and there is no float switch is present, probing will continue until the torch breaks away or the minimum Z limit is reached.ĭigital output optional, see info below table:Ĭonnected from a breakout board output to an input to control the ohmic probe’s power.Ĭonnected from a breakout board input to a torch breakaway detection switch. If used, this is the primary probing method. This signal is used to probe electronically by completing a circuit using the work piece and the torch consumables and set Z zero at the top of the work piece. If used and an ohmic probe is configured, this is the fallback probing method.Ĭonnected from to the ohmic probe’s output to a breakout board input. If used and no ohmic probe is configured, this is the primary probing method. This signal is used to mechanically probe the work piece with the torch and set Z zero at the top of the work piece.

This signal is used to determine if the cutting arc has been established and it is ok for the machine to move (sometimes called arc transfer).ĭigital input optional, see info below table:Ĭonnected from a breakout board input to a switch on the floating head.

This signal is used to read the arc voltage to determine the necessary corrections to maintain the torch distance from the work piece during cutting.Ĭonnected from the Arc OK output of the plasma power source to an input on the breakout board. Connected to the velocity output of an encoder equipped breakout board.
