Plasma – Additional Functions For Plasma Cutters - CS-Lab CSMIO IP-S User Manual

10.9.4 Plasma – additional functions for plasma cutters
In current software version, we have one op-
tion available – torch high control via analog
input.
Configuration is only about to enable the func-
tion, select polarization, and to select analog
input.
The function, with normal polarization, works
the way that for 0V on analog input there is
correction entered in THC min, and for 10V -
THC max configured in Mach3 screen. With
reversed polarization – for 0V there is THC
max, and for 10V - THC min.

Attention! – Plasma generators are dangerous because of high voltage on electrodes. To analog in-
puts of CSMIO/IP you should connect only galvanically isolated signal and well filtered (it is good to
place RC filter in the connector). Incompetent connection of signals of a plasma generator to
CSMIO/IP controller may cause its damage.
10.9.5 Misc IO – Special functions related to I/O
10.9.5.1 Servo drive RESET
Any CSMIO/IP controller output can be as-
signed as a RESET signal for servo drives. On
the output, there will be a short pulse every
time when in Mach3 the RESET function will
be called.
10.9.5.2 HV Enable
In this place you can – for any CSMIO/IP con-
troller output – assign a function of main voltage activation (e.g. for servo drives). In many alarm
situations like e.g. E-STOP signal activation, additionally main supply disconnection it may increase
security level.
Output defined as „HV Enable" will be active during normal work of CSMIO/IP controller, in case of
any alarm situations such as limit switch or E-Stop touch, the signal will become inactive.
10.9.5.3 Input signals filter
Sometimes happens that on a large machine tool, electromagnetic noises level is so high that stand-
ard hardware limits, mounted in CSMIO/IP are not enough and so there appear false signals e.g.
LIMIT, E-STOP etc., causing machine work brake.
