Diagnostics 295
Part Larger than Plate
This message will be displayed if the part program that has been loaded is larger than the plate size
information in Setups. The operator may choose to ignore and continue the cut or return to Setups to
correct the plate size.
Kerf too Large, Arc/Line has Disappeared. Abort Cut?
This message is displayed when the Kerf size selected is too large and will affect the shape of the
part. The operator can continue to cut the part, abort the cut to review the Kerf information selected
or abort the cut to review the part program for any errors. Electing to continue cutting of a part
program which prompts the display of this error, may lead to unexpected results.
Cut Sense Lost
This message is displayed if the Arc ON Feedback setup parameter is enabled and the Cut Sense
input is deactivated by the plasma unit while cutting. When this condition occurs, the control displays
the Pause screen, which allows use of the Cut Recovery features to finish cutting the piece.
Communications Time Out
This message is displayed whenever the Host system does not respond within the Link Time Out
setup parameter for either a Host Upload or Download. To correct this problem, increase the Link
Time Out setup parameter and check the communications setup parameters on the Host system and
the control.
Host Not Responding
This message is displayed whenever the communications is lost to the Host system after the initial
communication was established. To correct this problem, try exiting and re-entering the Upload or
Download to Host screens to re-establish communications and/ or check the communications setup
parameters on the Host system and the control.
Scale Factor must be between .001 and 1000
This message is displayed whenever a value less than .001 or greater than 1000 is entered for a
Scaling Factor. To correct this problem, enter a value between .001 and 1000 for the Scaling Factor.
Radius at Arc Beginning and Radius at Arc End are not within the Arc Radial Error Tolerance
This message is displayed whenever the radius beginning-arc and the radius-ending arc of a part
program are not within the Arc Radial Error setup parameter in the Main Setup screen. To correct this
problem, either increase the Arc Radial Error Tolerance setup parameter or correct the part program
itself.
Transverse Position Error Exceeded
This message is displayed whenever the current Transverse position error exceeds the Servo Error
Tolerance Setup parameter in the machine setups screen. It also may appear if the position feedback
loops are not operating properly, or the machine is being commanded to move or accelerate faster
than it is capable. To correct this problem, either increase the Servo Error Tolerance Setup parameter
in the machine setups screen, re-tune the system, decrease the Maximum machine speed setup
parameter or the acceleration rate setup parameter. Generally, this error is displayed when the
setting for Incremental or Absolute EIA I and J codes is set to the wrong state for the active part
program.
