Station Select Input
The type “V” control system has the ability to operate multiple Sensor™
THCs which are commanded by the control as separate axes. The
control requires an input to indicate which Sensor™ THCs are active.
This Input is also used for tracking of consumable data for the specified
Plasma or Oxy Torch. Stations 1-8 are designated for Plasma and
stations 9-20 are designated for Oxy Fuel.
X Home Switch
This input indicates that the machine has traveled to its X axis home
position. If the X axis “Use Home Limit Switch” parameter is set to YES
and a Homing function is performed, the X axis moves in the specified
home direction at the Fast Home Speed until the input is activated. The
X axis then decelerates to a stop and moves in the opposite direction at
the Slow Home Speed until the switch is deactivated. Once the switch is
deactivated, the X axis will either decel to a stop or continue on until the
encoder marker pulse is detected, if the “Use Marker Pulse” parameter is
set to YES.
Y Home Switch
This input indicates that the machine has traveled to its Y axis home
position. If the Y axis “Use Home Limit Switch” parameter is set to YES
and a Homing function is performed, the Y axis moves in the specified
home direction at the Fast Home Speed until the input is activated. The
Y axis then decelerates to a stop and moves in the opposite direction at
the Slow Home Speed until the switch is deactivated. Once the switch is
deactivated, the Y axis will either decel to a stop or continue on until the
encoder marker pulse is detected, if the “Use Marker Pulse” parameter is
set to YES.
Z Home Switch
Z Axis Home Limit Switch indicates that the machine has traveled to its Z
axis home position. If the Z axis “Use Home Limit Switch” parameter is
set to YES and a Homing function is performed, the Z axis moves in the
specified home direction at the Fast Home Speed until the input is
activated. The Z axis then decelerates to a stop and moves in the
opposite direction at the Slow Home Speed until the switch is
deactivated. Once the switch is deactivated, the Z axis will either decel to
a stop or continue on until the encoder marker pulse is detected, if the
“Use Marker Pulse” parameter is set to YES.
Y Overtravel Switch
This input indicates that the machine has traveled into its full positive
travel of a Y axis. If the hardware overtravels are enabled and this input
is activated, the control will stop all motion and generate a fault
message. Motion will not be re-enabled until the switch is deactivated.
X Overtravel Switch
This input indicates that the machine has traveled into its full positive
travel of a X axis. If the hardware overtravels are enabled and this input
is activated, the control will stop all motion and generate a fault
message. Motion will not be re-enabled until the switch is deactivated.
Limit Switch
This input indicates that the machine has traveled into its full positive
travel of an axis. If the hardware overtravels are enabled and this input is
activated, the control will stop all motion and generate a fault message.
Motion will not be re-
enabled until the switch is deactivated. (Type “M”
configuration only)
