Miniature circuit breaker (MCB) CB1 - 3 A (4)
Switch for 115 VAC to CNC unit.
5.2 Operate modes
In cutting mode, the outgoing current on the power source can be regulated
steplessly from 30 to 200 A using the current potentiometer on the control panel or
with a remote reference signal connected to J1.
When remote reference signals are used, 1 V corresponds to 36 A and 200
corresponds to signal voltage of 5.55 VDC.
The power source has cutting as standard setting. To switch to marking m ode, the
control signal for this m ust be supplied from a remote control unit.
The switch is set to marking mode with an external, isolated relay or external,
isolated switch that connects J1-R (115 VAC) with J1-C. The electrical circuit
diagram is in the inside of the rear panel. Contact closure for m arking mode must
occur at least 50 m s before command for start or contact on is given.
In CNC marking mode, the outgoing current can b e regulated steplessly from 0 to 36
A using a remote reference signal connected to J1. In local operated marking mode,
the outgoing current can be regulated steplessly from 0 to 18 A using the current
potentiometer on the control panel (standard setting upon delivery). If SW1-1, which
is open on the control panel, closes, the range becomes 0 to 18 A.
When remote reference signals are used, 1 V corresponds to 3.6 A and 36 A
corresponds to signal voltage of 10.00 VDC.
5.2.1 Powe r source in single operati on (us ed with CNC, there a re tw o basi c
operating modes)
1. Local operation from control panel (switch on the power source) Switch for
local/remote operation in local control mode, PANEL. Used with limited CNC
unit, which only provides start/stop signals to the power source. The
micro-control unit in the power source uses the control panel potentiometer's
analogue setting as setpoint signal for cutting current. From these values, the
micro control unit calculates initial current, pilot arc current and ramp up time.
The current values for cutting and pilot arc can be displayed before cutting, by
moving the return sprung switch to the position for display of the setpoint value
for cutting current respectively pilot arc current. If the pilot arc current seems to
be insufficient the CNC unit can increase it by sending out output signals on
inputs PA0 and PA1. The current increases as follows.
PAO PA1
no signal no signal no change
signal no signal the current increases by 12.5 %
no signal signal the current increases by 2,5 %
signal signal the current increases by 37,5 %

See diagram on page24.
The table below, which is used to calculate starting current, pilot arc current and
ramp up time, is stored in the micro control unit.
Cutting current
(A)
Start current
(A)
Pilot arc current
(A)
Ramp up time

30 20 15 200
50 25 20 250
100 50 25 500
200 100 30 800
If other values than the table values used for the cutting current, the corresponding
values are calculated assuming a linear ramp for all required parameters.
2. Remote control mode
a. Partial CNC operation (CNC cable pin V open, open for internal control).
The switch for local/remote operation must be in the REMOTE mode. T he
CNC unit must supply setpoint values for cutting current and start/stop
signals to the power source. The micro-control unit in the power source
calculates initial current, pilot arc current and ramp up time from the setpoint
value for cutting current.
b. Remote control mode with full CNC operation (CNC cable pin V closed,
closed for internal control). The switch for local/remote operation must be in
the REMOTE mode. The CNC unit m ust activate the input for full CNC
control on pin V in the connection cable. In this mode, all parameters are
controlled by the CNC unit, including initial current, pilot arc current and
ramp times. T he pilot arc current can be controlled using a digital logic input
signals or analogue input signals. If the analogue input signal is less than 0.5
V, the power source uses the digital logic signals on the inputs PA0 and PA1
to supply the required pilot arc current, based on the following combination.
PAO PA1 Pilot arc current (A)
no signal no signal 10
signal no signal 20
no signal signal 30
signal signal 40
If analogue reference signals are used, 10 VDC gives 45 A and 1 VDC 4.5 A.
Marking Can be carried out in local operating mode remote control mode. The
input for marking mode must be closed in the CNC unit. In local operating mode,
the marking current is set using the potentiometer on the control panel.
Maximum marking current is 36 A. If SW1-1, which is open on the control panel,
closes, the range becomes max. 0 to 18 A. In remote control mode, the marking
current is regulated by a remote reference signal, 10 VDC gives 36 A and 1 VDC
gives 3.6 A marking current.

5.2.2 Several power so u rces
1. Parallel connected operation Connect the power sources according to section
3.6. Set the switch for local/remote operation in REMOTE mode, on both power
sources. If the units are used for cutting and both power sources are to supply
cutting current, activate the logic input HI CURRENT (pin T) in the CNC cable.
With this setting, the maximum current is 400 A at analogue input signal 10 VDC
from CNC. If the input HI CURRENT is deactivated, the auxiliary source's current
outout switches off, despite it being connected to the main power source. Only
the main power source produces current in marking mode. If marking and cutting
are carried alternately the input HI CURRENT can be left active, whereupon the
input for marking is controlled if both the power sources' current outputs or only
the main power source' s is to be active. The current range when marking is 10 to
36 A and when cutting 30 to 400 A.
5.3 Starting cutting and marking
1. Power the equipment by switching on the switch at the power socket ( the power
source does not have its own mains power switch). When the current source is
powered, the display window briefly shows EPP-201 and then Pr x.xx, (the
program version number) and then 0 A and 0 V.
2. Set the switch for local/remote operation in the desired m ode, depending on
whether the CNC unit can be remotely controlled.
a. During local operation (PANEL mode) you can display the set setpoint value
for cutting current by keeping the switch on the control panel in the position
for display of setpoint for cutting current. In PANEL mode, the power source
calculates pilot arc current, initial current and ramp up time from the set
cutting current setpoint value. You can display the set setpoint value for pilot
arc current by keeping the switch on the control panel in the position for
display of setpoint for pilot arc current. See section 5.1.2 Control panel.
b. In remote control mode, there are two possible operating modes.
1 The standard mode is similar to local operating mode, but the cutting
current signal comes from the CNC unit instead of from the control
panel's potentiometer. The scale for the current signal during remote
control operation is 1.0 VDC = 36 A. This mode can be used if the CNC
unit does not have functions for controlling initial current and ramp times.
Connections for remote control are based on the schedule for the CNC
interface.
2 If the CNC unit has functions for controlling the initial current and ramp
times, set the switch for local/remote control in REMOTE m ode, and
connects the pins R and V in the CNC contact. In this mode, the CNC
unit supplies analogue signals for controlling the values for initial current,
ramp up time and cutting current. The scale is the same as in the
standard mode. The pilot arc current is regulated by another analogue
signal, 010 VDC, if applicable, or using a binary signal according to the
schedule for the CNC unit's interface. The scale for the pilot arc current
signal is 10 VDC = 45 A.
3. Start plasma cutting. Variables such as gas pressure, flow, torch height etc. may
need to be set.
4. If cutting/marking, for any reason, cannot be initiated, the power source displays
a fault code that indicates the cause o f the fault, see Fault codes in the fault
tracing section.
