For edge piercing method, it is important to move the cutting torch to the nearest edge of steel plate before piercing operation. 3) Preheat the system and press [START] key at the end of preheat. The cutting torch will cut the steel plate along a straight line to the piercing point at selected cutting speed and then go on machining. 4) When
MOVE HOLE option is taken, it needs to change the MOVE HOLE option to 1 in the parameter
control menu, thus to enables the option. In this way, whenever it is time for piercing operation, the system will prompt an option menu as shown below:

In the SETUP submenu, press [F1] key to enter speed parameters setting window, as shown in Fig. 7.2. Speed parameters include-Starting speed----The starting and stop speed of system in X axis and Y axis in mm/min or inch/min. Refer to Control Parameters for more. Adjustment time----The time required for the system to accelerate from starting speed to maximum speed limit, in seconds. Uniform acceleration time---- In the process of acceleration/deceleration, the time needed for linear acceleration, which is usually little bit smaller than the adjustment time by one tenth approximately. Maximum speed limit----The top speed of running system in manual control mode and in execution of G00 command, in mm/min. or inch/min. Machining speed limit-----The top machining speed in flame/plasma machining operation, in mm/min. or inch/min. Conversion angle of corner speed ----When the running direction changes between program segments and changing angle
exceeds this angle, the system will decelerate to the starting speed around the corner. This value is normally set smaller when the system is comparatively heavier. In addition, such considerations as machining speed and machine vibration should be taken as well, smaller value for worse vibration. Circular corner transitional option ----If this option is enabled(value:1), the system will not decelerate through a circular

7.4. Plasma Parameters Setting

In the SETUP submenu, press [F4] key to enter plasma parameters setting window, as shown in Fig. 7.5. Positioning delay of cutting torch-----When positioning the plasma torch, lower the torch until it hits the lower limit siwtch. Turn on the torch lifting switch. After count the positioning delay of cutting torch, the lifting torch will stop(M75), in second. M commands for arc ignition-----To set the output port of arc ignition, M12 by default M commands for arc breaking-----To set the output port of arc breaking, M13 by default Notes: When the M command for arc breaking is next higher than the M command for arc ignition, it implies they share an output port, even number for opening and even number for closing. In this case, the system uses level control to direct arc ignition switch. When the M command for arc breaking and the M command for arc ignition are both even number but unequal to each other, it implies there are two output ports separately control the opening and closing operations. In this case, the system uses pulse control with pulse width of 0.5 second. Arc voltage test option-----It is used to determine if arc voltage is tested or not in plasma cutting operation. To enable arc voltage test, take 1 for the option. User should test arc voltage feedback at arc ignition and monitor the feedback in operation. When arc voltage feedback is off, the system will pause the operation and prompt. As a general rule, arc voltage test is enabled for thick plate machining. To disable arc voltage test, take 0 for the option. After the arc ignition switch is turned on, the machining will start when the piercing delay is up. The system will not test arc voltage feedback in the cutting process. Generally, arc voltage test is disabled for thin sheet machining. Positioning test option-----In execution of M07 command, it is used to determine torch positioning operation or not. If the option is taken 1, torch positioning operation will be enabled. Piercing delay-----If arc ignition is successful, the system will start normal cutting operation after the piercing delay. Height control disabling distance at corner ----- At the transition or corner of two program segments, speed and arc voltage might change, causing unexpected nozzle knock; therefore, the system will automatically disable the height control in such a distance from the endpoint of program segment, in mm. Arc voltage disabling distance near end point ----- The machining path is usually a closed curve. At the end of machining, the origin point and the end point will repeat, which often cause overburn and affect the smoothness. If this distance option is enabled, the system
will automatically disable the arc voltage and the height control in such a distance from the endpoint , in mm.

Arc voltage/height control option This option is editable only when plasma arc voltage control is used along with the height controller manufactured by Microstep. Take 1 to enable this option. Fine tuning of control speed The default value is 100. If the control response is found too slow, reduce the value appropriately; otherwise, increase this value. Height controller sensitivity(0-40) This value is used to adjust the sensitivity of height controller in the range of 0 to 40. If vertical vibration is detected, it implies the sensitivity is too high and reducing this value is recommended; if it is found slow in response, it implies the sensitivity is too low and increasing this value is recommended. Arc-voltage height control(30-255V)It is equivalent to the height knob of height controller. Larger value will make the cutting torch higher; vice versa. Speed regulation range D ----It is often set to 100.
Positioning height B ---- The height to raise the cutting torch when the torch hits steel plate in the process of initial location. Upper/lower limit value ----To adjust the upper and lower limits of height controller

Chapter X. Connections of Input/output Ports

The system ports include input ports(DB25 pin), output ports(DB25 pin), motor(15 pin) and RS232 serial port(15 pin) to connect the height controller manufactured by Microstep.
10.1. System Input Principle

Generally, mechanical switch is used for travel limit/start/pause. To shield the system from interference, normally-closed contact is usually used for mechanical switch, which is connected with the way described below. Internal CNC Syst em +24 Load COM(+24V) Intermedia
24VGN +5 System output 25-pin sock et
Control 24V
Notes:
l The logic for emergency stop, pause and travel limit of the system is the same, i.e., they are all connected to normally-opened contact(NO contact) or normally-closed contact(NC contact). l l After powered on, the system will automatically check the level of activation bit as control reference. Therefore, if external start switch is not connected, the corresponding activation bit should be connected to
24V ground (similar to connection to NC contact) or nothing(similar to connection to NO contact).
