Phoenix parameter Description
Height Control*
Description: In Manual Mode, the torch only moves in response to manual UP/DOWN commands from
the Raise and Lower softkeys in Phoenix software on the CNC, an operator console, the
HMI, or the lifter, no other torch height motion occurs.
In Automatic Mode, the torch moves through its programmed sequence, based on values
set on the ArcGlide Operation screen.
Setting: Manual / Automatic
Voltage Control*
Description: The Height Control must be in Automatic Mode. If Voltage Control is ON, the torch height
is controlled by the measured arc voltage.
If Voltage Control is OFF, the torch maintains a constant position during the cut that is
independent of the Arc Voltage.
Setting: OFF / oN
Sample Voltage*
Description: The Height Control must be in Automatic Mode and the Voltage Control must be ON.
When Sample Voltage is ON, the THC measures the voltage at the end of the AVC Delay
and uses it as a set point for the remainder of the cut.
When Sample Voltage is OFF the Set Arc Voltage is used as the set point for torch height
control.
Setting: OFF / oN
Set Arc Voltage
Description: The Height Control must be in Automatic Mode, the Voltage Control must be ON, and the
Sample Voltage must be OFF.
When Sample Voltage is OFF, the Set Arc Voltage is used as the set point for torch height
control.
Setting: 50 to 300 VDC
