OVERVIEW This module allows controlling the height the plasma torch head relative to work piece during plasma CNC operation, it supports either raw torch head voltage or an input of 0-10VDC, the ARC OK, UP and DOWN outputs are isolated. FEATURES •...
TERMINAL BOARD POWER Requires a 10 to 30VDC at 100mA Power Supply, “This board is electrically isolated through a DC-DC converter.” WARNING: Check the polarity and voltage of the external power source and connect the 10VDC to 30VDC and GND. Overvoltage or reverse-polarity power applied to these terminals can cause damage to the board, and/or the power source.
TORCH VOLTAGE NOTE: It is preferable to use the divided voltage instead of the torch voltage. The Torch voltage can be very high and there could be many safety implications in wiring this to the controller. The high voltage could also be a possible source of noise.
CONFIGURE MENU • Push the knob to enter configuration mode. • Navigate through the configuration menu by pressing the knob. • Turn the knob to adjust the value. • Push the knob to set the value and navigate to the next parameter or until you reach the run mode.
DESCRIPTION SCREEN SET POINT (SP) SP is the target voltage to be achieved. NOTE: If auto_SetPoint is activated the knob it's disabled VOLTAGE ARC (ARC) Limit from 40 to 400VDC, True Voltage measured at the terminals or the voltage divider. HYSTERESIS (HYS) Is the tolerance or (+/-) voltage range used to generate an adjustment.
TEST MODE (TEST) • Press the knob three times to enter test mode. • Turn the knob up or down to make the spindle move. • To exit test mode, press the knob once. DIVIDED VOLTAGE CONFIGURATION • Press the knob three times to enter the setting mode •...
AUTO_SETPOINT Automatically establishes the SetPoint based on the cutting height that is set. ACTVATE DISABLE If auto_SetPoint is activated the knob it's disabled and the word Auto is displayed on the screen User’s Manual Page 8...
