The THC1 set is designed for cutting height automatic control of CNC plasma cutting devices. The set consists of two devices: control module THC1-M and voltage divider module THC1-DV1. The both devices are powered by mains voltage ~220 V. It allows to install the divider module in close proximity to plasma source and to preclude the use of any additional power supply sources.
Control program with UP/DOWN protocol support Insulation resistance 500 MOhm Overall dimensions of THC1-M (W х H х D) 120 х 112 х 67 mm Overall dimensions of THC1-DV1 (W х H х D) 120 х 107 х 67 mm...

The THC1-M module is installed in a CNC cabinet and connected to PC via a network switch (in case the PLCM controller is used) or directly to the PC network card (if the PLCM is unavailable).
L AN. Set 10 Mbit/Full Duplex connection mode in the network card settings. 2. When Ethernet cable is connected to THC1-M the «Link» LED blinks, but the 192.168.10.12 address device is not pinged. Possible causes: 1) The controller’s IP address is not the default setting.
Warr aNT y 3. The Ethernet PLCM is pinged, but is not available from the configuration window. Possible causes: a firewall or some other program blocks traffic between a PLCM controller and a computer. Explanations: to detect all PLCM devices in L AN, the UDP broadcast queries are used. Some programs in OS Windows, for example, a firewall or anti-virus software, can block such network queries.
