Setups 46
Marker Down Time
(Torch Down Output) Specifies the length of time to lower the marker at the beginning of each
marking cycle.
Set Arc Current
The Set Arc Current feature allows the user to set the arc current at the Plasma Marking supply. This
feature uses the “Set Current BCD” output from the control to activate the BCD inputs at the Plasma
Marking supply. EIA RS-274D part program code G59 Vvalue Fvalue for setting current is supported.
Corner Current Percent
The Corner Current Percent feature allows the operator to select a reduced current setting to be
executed when cutting corners to improve marking quality. This value is a percentage of the Set
Current (above) and is active when the Torch Height Disable Output is on.
Ignition
(Ignition Output Enable) The Ignition Off/On selection allows the operator to use the Ignition Output
when marking if set to On.
Cut Control Used for Marking
This parameter is used to determine if the Cut Control output is to be used for activating the Marking
tool. If set to no, the Marking Output would be used.
Marker Down/Up With Each Marker On/Off
The Marker Down/Up With Each Marker On/Off will command the send the appropriate Up/Down
Output commands at each Mark On/ Off.
Arc On Feedback
Specifies whether an arc-on signal from a plasma marking system to the control is used. With Arc On
Feedback ON, the control waits for Cut/Mark Sense input to activate before initiating machine motion.
Partial Raise
Enabling the Partial Raise feature will execute a tool raise at the end of the Mark within a nest for the
time specified in the Partial Up Time parameter. Full raise will be executed at the end of the final
Mark segment.
Down On During Mark
Turning on the Down On During Mark feature forces the torch down output to remain on throughout
the Marking process. This is advantageous for pneumatic style torch lifters that require a constant
output.
Down On Between Marks
Turning on the Down On Between Marks feature forces the Torch Down Output to remain on while
traversing between marking segments.
Note: Please refer to the Program Codes section of this guide for information on the Marker Font
Generator feature.
