output from the plasma
system.
The torch did not produce
an arc.
In a discrete system,
there was a faulty input
(Transfer) to the control
module.
Check the transfer time setting in the CNC (Hypernet
only). The transfer time needs to be long enough to
allow the plasma system to purge gases. In an HPR,
this could be up to 10 seconds.
Check the plasma system for an error.
Make sure the plasma system is firing over metal.
Check the plasma interface cable for damage.
Check the Plasma Start input to the plasma system. If
plasma system torch fires:
• Verify the Plasma Start wiring at the plasma
interface PCB.
• Check that the torch consumables and cutting
process are correct.
• Check the Plasma interface cable for damage.
In a discrete system:
Check the Plasma Start input to the control module.
Check the Transfer (or motion) output from the
plasma system.
