Thermal Dynamics A-Series Automation PCB
The Automation Interface PCB provides ohmic sensing (separate cable to ohmic clip), tip sensing (exposed consumables),
multiple arc voltage divisions and plasma I/O signals to the CNC.
Connections:
Contact rating
30VAC/VDC, 1 A max.
Minimum signals required
Start / Stop and OK to Move.
Arc Voltage Selection (DIV1) Only 1 dip switch can be active at a time, measuring range 250V.
Arc Voltage Polarity
Isolated from plasma power supply ground, change polarity by swapping wires on SIG
(J1-6) and COM (J1-5) Either pin can be grounded.
Arc Voltage Output
Isolated from plasma power supply ground, both signal and com needs to be connected!
Ohmic Sensing
With wire connected to J1-13 from shield cup.
Tip Sensing for Ign. Height
If switch SW2 is ON Tip Sensing will trigger Plate Contact out when tip comes to contact
with Work. This only works with exposed parts.
Tip Sensing During Cutting
If switch SW3 is ON tip sensing will trigger plate contact out when tip comes to contatc
with work while cutting. This only works with exposed parts.
