Using an active front panel, Pinnacle Remote Active
Panel, or a serial (Host) port, you can enable arc
handling functions. Select a voltage arc trip level. Then
choose between preprogrammed arc controls or custom
arc controls. By selecting a target type (metal or
nonmetal), you preprogram your Pinnacle unit to use
target-specific arc shutdown times and arc detect delay
times during your normal process cycle and your target
conditioning cycle (TCC). By selecting the "custom"
arc handling option, you can program the arc shutdown
time and arc detect delay time for your process. Please
refer to the "I/O Communication and Control" chapter
for defaults and additional information.
Using an active front panel, a Pinnacle Active Front
Panel, or a serial (Host) port, you can monitor arc
density (the number of hard arcs and micro arcs during
the previous run). In addition, you can set a window of
time for arc density monitoring so that the unit counts
the number of arcs that occur during this window.
< 10 mJ per 10 kW inverter standard
Air-cooled only
Ramping recipes let you program the Pinnacle unit to
ramp up in incremental steps. From the active front
panel, Pinnacle Remote Active Panel, or serial (Host)
port, select between 1 and 8 steps, then select ramp
time, setpoint, and run time for each step.
Several fault conditions will either cause the Pinnacle
supply to shut off output or prevent output from being
turned on. These conditions include open interlock
loops, input power failure, and over-temperature.
