    AUTO-CUT 300 XT APPENDIX 17: ADVANCED TROUBLESHOOTING System Overview The Auto-Cut 200 & 300 XT & Ultra-Cut 100, 200, 300 & 400 XT power supplies include one, two or three inverter mod- ules (IM). Each IM may have either 1 or 2 inverter sections designated A or B sections.
  • Page 119 AUTO-CUT 300 XT will only have ribbon cables in J31 & J32; a 200A will have J31-J33 filled with the others empty. 300A will have J34 missing with the others filled. Other boards in the system include the System Bias Supply, the Relay & Interface PCB, Display PCB, Pilot PCB and AC Suppression PCB.
  • Page 120 AUTO-CUT 300 XT The AC Suppression PCB has capacitors and other transient suppression components to protect the system from transients on the AC lines. It also provides power for the neon AC present indicators which illuminate when AC power is connected even with ON-OFF switch, CB1, off.
  • Page 121 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Status codes. The codes for the power supply are displayed on the Display PCB 4 digit numerical display. Some codes refer to the Gas Controls but more detailed Gas Control codes will be found on the individual gas controls. The gas con- trols used with the XT family of plasma supplies have not changed.
  • Page 122 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Power Supply Status Codes Group 1, Process Codes Plasma Enable Is Disabled Code 101 is activated by either an open circuit between TB1-1 & 2 on CCM I/O PCB or Plasma Enable switched off on the GCM 2010 or on the TSC 3000. TB1-1 & 2 comes from the factory with a jumper installed. An in- staller may remove the jumper and connect a separate Plasma Enable switch or use the Plasma Enable wires included in the 37 pin CNC cable used with the Ultra-Cut XT &...
  • Page 123 AUTO-CUT 300 XT If a TSC 3000 is not connected or unit is an Auto-Cut, K7 on the Relay PCB is de-energized and GND is con- nected through its normally closed contacts. If the TSC is connected, 24 VAC through a jumper in the TSC 3000 energizes K7, opening its NC contacts and now GND connects through the TDC 3000 Plasma Enable switch.
  • Page 124 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Pilot Ignition Failure Code 102 is activated when there is no pilot current after 15 seconds of firing the Arc Starter. Pilot ignition requires the Pilot board to be enabled, pilot switch (IGBT) turned on and high voltage pulses (HF) from the arc Starter (either the Remote Arc Starter RAS 1000 XT or GCM 1000 XT or the arc starter built in to the AC 200 XT) applied between the tip and the electrode of the torch.
  • Page 125 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Arc starter without Spark Gap (Ultra-Cut) 1. Check for power to the RAS 1000XT’s Ignition Module during the 15 seconds following preflow (ignition phase). Arc starter power comes through the rear panel circuit breaker CB4, make sure it isn’t tripped.
  • Page 126 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Reasons why RAS Control relay would not close: 6. Pilot current flowing. There actually is pilot current flowing somewhere. Unlikely as it would normally set the 208 fault but we have to rule it out. a. Disconnect J41 on the Pilot board, if HF still doesn’t fire and the Relay board Pilot LED, D11, is still on, it’s due to a fault in the detection circuits.
  • Page 127 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Troubleshooting Pilot Board problems. 1. The Pilot board is behind the CCM in the AC 300 XT and all Ultra-Cut XTs or on the upper section of the second inverter module in an AC 200 XT and has two LEDs. The first one, D11, a green LED, indicates the board has bias power and should be on all the time when the unit is turned on.
  • Page 128 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Transfer Lost Arc transferred to metal for at least 50 ms. then went out. Causes for 104 code: • Cut demand set much lower than recommended for torch parts, i.e. 100A consumables in torch but cut current set for 30 or 50A (or zero). Current may be too low to keep arc on.
  • Page 129 AUTO-CUT 300 XT • Cut current set too low for torch parts being used. Pilot current is set based on cut current. If cut current is too low pilot current will be lower and may not transfer at the height used for higher current consum- ables.
  • Page 130 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Part Process not Configured. This represents a status, not a fault. This is used with the DFC 3000 only. It means the operator hasn’t loaded the cutting process from either the TSC 3000 or from the program embedded in the cutting table CNC control- ler.
  • Page 131 AUTO-CUT 300 XT PWR Present • When power is first applied to the inverter (contactor closed) CCM checks for presence of the +12V bias on the Inverter Control and Fault board. If not present will set codes in the range of 265-270.
  • Page 132 AUTO-CUT 300 XT 202-204 Not used. Reserved codes from the earlier product. DC Output Low DC output (voltage) low means one or more inverter sections are enabled but the output voltage is below a preset voltage. Shortly after receiving the Start signal from the CNC, but before the end of preflow, both sections of IM#1 are enabled and CCM measures the power supply output voltage between negative (Torch) to positive (Work) at the output terminals.
  • Page 133 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Relay PCB • Relay board LED D12, Work Current Detected, will light if the current sensor signal exceeds 0.05V. If D12 is on, measure the sensor output signal at J1-3 with signal common on J1-1. This signal should be 0V +/- 0.04VDC.
  • Page 134 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Relay Board or CCM If D11 on the Relay PCB is still on after the previous tests, measure the output to the CCM on the 40 pin ribbon cable (Relay J4 to CCM J23) between pins 23 (-) and 25 (+). It should be less than 0.1V. If not, the Relay board is bad.
  • Page 135 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Possible cause for work current to low. • All the above plus a short to chassis caused by: o User installed equipment connect behind the current sensor that makes a connection to work or earth allowing current flow to bypass work sensor.
  • Page 136 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Inverter 1 not found. There must be an inverter connected in the 1st section, 1A, to be able to pilot. During the power up sequence, before power is connected to the inverters, the CCM does a continuity test to see if its section 1A ribbon cable (J31 on CCM) is connected.
  • Page 137 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Troubleshooting: 1. If System Bias board has either the wrong jumper or is defective it will call out the first inverter section, code 231, because all the inverters won’t match the incorrect signal and 1A is checked first.
  • Page 138 AUTO-CUT 300 XT System Bias voltage identification is invalid. At power up the System Bias board measures the input voltage and sends signals to the CCM indicating which range of voltage it has detected. See section 231-236 for details. If one of the 3 voltage ranges, 208-230V, 380- 415V or 480V isn’t identified then both ID signals are high resulting in an invalid signal.
  • Page 139 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Troubleshooting: 1. If the fault is L239 applying START will clear the fault unless it becomes active again. An occasional prob- lem may be due to incoming voltage swells (voltage increases lasting from ½ cycle to as much as a minute).
  • Page 140 AUTO-CUT 300 XT 4. If the incoming voltage is OK and the problem persists it may be System Bias, CCM or connection between J62 and J27. a. If the incoming voltage is OK and D14, ACV LOW, is on or the signal “AC V LOW b” on J62-10 is “high”...
  • Page 141 AUTO-CUT 300 XT 253-258 Inverter Over Temperature. Each inverter section (IS) contains one or more temperature sensors. If any of these detect an over temperature condition it activates the signal “OVERTEMP_FLT going to the CCM over the inverter sections ribbon cable.
  • Page 142 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Troubleshooting: 1. If room temperature exceeds 40 deg C, cool the room, or operate the unit at reduced duty cycle or lower current. 2. Confirm that air is exhausting from opening in the right side panel. As the fan(s) are behind the radiator it’s hard to see them to confirm they are turning but perhaps you can use an inspection mirror.
  • Page 143 AUTO-CUT 300 XT 3. On the Relay board D22, CONTACTOR ON LED (green) next to relay K1 lights if K1 is being told to energize. a. If it’s on check for 120 VAC between J8-1 and J8-9. If present the relay board is OK.
  • Page 144 Gas pressure faults only show up when you try to start the torch, not during purging or setting flows . With the Auto-Cut 200 XT and the Auto-Cut 300 XT (GCM 1000 XT), the gas pressure sensor is only on the plasma gas and is in series with Run/Set switch.
  • Page 145 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Gas Control returns wrong command sequence. Firmware incompatibility. Consult factory for latest firmware update. Possible electromagnetic interference from the Arc Starter; inspect grounding; bonding; and isolation. Mismatch between the CCM and gas control type. The Auto-Cut XT CCM is designed to work with the GCM 1000 (AC 300 XT) or the built in gas control of the AC 200 XT.
  • Page 146 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Coolant Level Low The coolant reservoir (tank) has a normally open (tank dry) float type level switch, LS1. When the coolant level in the tank is below about ½ full this fault will signal the need to add coolant. It will not stop the process dur- ing a cut but will instead show the 405 fault as a warning.
  • Page 147 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Troubleshooting: 1. First note whether the fault is an “E” meaning it’s currently low or an “L” meaning it was low but isn’t now. Flow that remains low could indicate a failed component or a blockage such as clogged filter or pinched hose.
  • Page 148 AUTO-CUT 300 XT 2. Fans are powered by 230 VAC. The 230 VAC for the fan(s) is switched by the MC2 control relay (except the AC 200 XT where the fan(s) is powered directly from the T1 transformer at J13).
  • Page 149 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Reasons for 404 faults (Coolant not flowing): • In new installation, coolant has not circulated all the way through the leads. Add more coolant if neces- sary and recycle the power to restart the pump and 4 minute timer.
  • Page 150 AUTO-CUT 300 XT d. If jumping TP3 to TP1 does not turn the fans on then the Relay board or the 40 pin ribbon cable pin 13 is at fault. CCM I/O PCB 230 VAC from T1 To test Pump relay jump TP3 to TP1.
  • Page 151 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Coolant flow is correct but system doesn’t detect it due to defective components: • Defective or disconnected FS1 flow switch. • Relay board. • CCM. Flow Switch FS1 disconnected – FS1 comes with wire about 1 ft. long and a connector that connects to a 3 wire harness.
  • Page 152 AUTO-CUT 300 XT Troubleshooting: 1. GCM 1000XT (also called a Basic Gas Control) does not use CANBUS (fiber-optic) communication. A jumper in the gas control connector J56 pins 8 & 9, gives the signal “Basic ID” telling the CCM not to expect any CANBUS.
  • Page 153 AUTO-CUT 300 XT The black end of the fiber cable is inserted into the transmitter which is the gray housing on the PCB. The other end of the transmitting fiber is blue and goes into the receiver with the black housing.
  • Page 154 AUTO-CUT 300 XT USB Log File Creation Fault When updating the CCM, DMC and DPC programs from a flash drive, a log file called CCM_LOG.TXT is cre- ated on the flash which reports on the results of the update including any problems. If that log file can’t be created you get 613.
