Connect discrete cables
In a discrete configuration, the communication links are made from the control module to the HMI, CNC, plasma system,
and optional operator console. In this type of configuration, the control module and HMI communicate over a single
span of Hypernet. This is the only configuration that does not require an Ethernet switch. See
System description for a
discrete configuration
, in this section.
It is also possible to have a mixed Hypernet and discrete configuration in which the ArcGlide THC communicates with
the CNC, the plasma system, or both over discrete connections and uses Hypernet communication for the remaining
link. In configurations where there is more than one span of Hypernet, an industrial-grade Ethernet switch is required for
the Hypernet connections.
Use the portions of the following instructions that apply to your configuration.
Note: Each port on the front of the control module is color-coded to match the connector on the interface cable
that connects to it, as shown in the illustrations for each cable later in this section.
1. Connect the HMI to the control module:
a. Insert one end of the HMI cable into the Hypernet
connector on the front of the control module.
b. Insert the other end of the cable into the Hypernet port
on the back of the HMI.
2. Connect the CNC to the control module:
a. Insert the end of the CNC I/O cable with the yellow band
into the CNC I/O connector on the front of the control
module.
b. Connect the wires on the other end of the cable to the
I/O signals on the CNC.
For more information, see the description of the CNC I/O
cable, later in this section.
Discrete connection to the CNC
Connection between the HMI and
the control module
Ground all cables with circular connectors:
1. Remove the top nut and washer of the grounding assembly.
2. Fit the ground wire terminal on the cable over the grounding post.
3. Replace the top nut and the washer on the ground post and finger-tighten it so the
ground terminal is in contact with the washer and bottom nut.
