Rampdown State (13)
Rampdown State (13) begins when the CNC removes the Plasma Start command.
End of cycle State (14)
* After the successful completion of an operator-selected process, the cutting system returns to the Wait for
start State (5) on page 210 to wait for the next command.
High-voltage relay stages (closed or opened) in the ohmic circuit
During a wet process (specifically, N
2
/H
2
O), water can act as a current path for the ohmic-sense
circuit. To prevent any passage of current to the ohmic board, the cutting system automatically
opens the high-voltage relay and disables the ohmic-sense circuit.
Ohmic sensing for the N
2
/H
2
O process is available in cutting systems with firmware that is
revision L or later. Stall force is required when the N
2
/H
2
O process is used underwater.
During a dry process, the cutting system closes the high-voltage relay and enables the ohmic-sense
circuit (except during high-frequency starts).
Decrease current to the final setpoint.
Decrease gas flow to the final setpoint.
Is Rampdown State (13) complete and
successful?
No
Diagnose and troubleshoot the problem. Refer to
