RS422 Parameter Control
Controls how the Spirit communicates with the X/Y controller and height control system.
With the RS422 Parameter Control set to Automatic, the Inova is automatically updated
with the correct arc voltage, pierce (initial) height, and cutting (marking) height any time
a new condition is loaded, the process (cutting or marking) is changed, or when the arc
voltage, pierce (initial) height, or cutting (marking) height is changed on the Parameters
Screen.
With the value set to Manual, the parameters are transmitted using the Manual Transmit
button on the Parameters Screen. Choose Disable to prevent the system from sending
RS422 communications.
Cut/Mark Control
The Spirit system has the capability of plasma cutting and plasma marking with
the same set of consumables. The process (cutting or marking) can be set by
the RS-422 serial interface (COMM), by a hard signal (Hard Wire) on the CNC
interface plug, or locally (Local) through the plasma console.
Hydrogen Cutting (H17)
When hydrogen cutting is enabled, the H17 hydrogen mixture will automatically
be selected as the plasma gas for certain material types and thicknesses. To
prevent the use of H17, hydrogen cutting must be disabled.
