Controls

CNC

A computerized numeric control (CNC) controls cutting system operation. The CNC has the 
following functions:

Executes part programs from computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided 
manufacturing (CAM) software.

Sends commands to the cutting system through a CNC interface cable (or wireless 
connection) between the CNC (or wireless device) and the plasma power supply.

Reacts to feedback signals it receives from the cutting system and (or) operator.

Multiple cutting system commands, settings, and displays are visible and controllable from different 
CNC screens.

CNC screens can include the following:

Main (control) screen

Process setup screen

Diagnostic screen

Test screen

Cut chart screen

See the instruction manual that came with your CNC for descriptions of 
CNC screens.

For information about how to use the Hypertherm CNC to control cutting system operation, see:

The instruction manual that came with your CNC

CNC Communication Protocol for the XPR Cutting System

 (809810)

Wireless device

A wireless device can be used to setup and monitor the XPR cutting system. A wireless device with 
the XPR web interface sends commands to the XPR cutting system through a wireless connection 
between the wireless device and the plasma power supply.

Multiple cutting system commands, settings, and displays are visible and controllable from different 
XPR web interface screens. For information on these screens, refer to 

Web interface screen 

information

 on page 184.

For information about how to set up a wireless device with the XPR web interface, refer to 

How to 

connect to the plasma power supply with the XPR web interface
