Fig. 3.3 edge perforation

There are two reasons led to this situation:


1) When the common parameter "edge perforation" selects "Yes" and if G-code of
the next processing line is M07, the system will be automatically suspended. At
this time, the torch can be manually moved to any edge of the plate, press the

20
F2000 Series Shape Cutting Control System Operation and Installation Manual

"start" button, the system will prompt as above


2) When the processing is paused, due to mechanical failure or other reasons, it
needs to move the torch out of the actual path of the workpiece, the above prompt
will appear.
 If press【G】, the system cutting returns back to the paused point, continue to cut
it. This feature is particularly useful for thick steel plate, it can reduce the preheat
time and increase cutting efficiency. This function is the commonly-used edge
perforation function.
 If press 【X】, the system considers current point is the paused point, it will
continue cutting it. That is, the system offsets the cutting point. When the cutting
machine paused or a power outage, if the cutting tip or steel plate with the pan
has been offset, or the user would like to think that is offset cutting, you can press
this button.
 If press【Y】, The system only return to the paused point quickly, and then break
off. During the cutting process, if discovering cutting torch malfunction or other
issues, system needs to move the cutting tip out of cutting region to overhaul.
When return to breakpoint after the maintenance, this key can be pressed. Then
return to the paused point, press the【start】 button, the system automatically
continues to cutting.

3.7 Oxygen Gas Preheat Time Regulation

 In the preheat process, press the START (F9) key to skip the process of preheat
and perforation delay, and immediately open the perforation signal then begin to
cut.
 In the preheat process, press the stop (F10) key to stop preheat, waiting for the F9
key is pressed again.
 In the preheat process, press the F6 key then the preheat time will be reduced to
the current preheat time spent, and skip the process of preheat and perforation
delay, and open the perforation signal then begin to cut..
For example: the original system sets the preheat time of 60 seconds, when
preheat needed, the interface will count down, under normal circumstances, till 0, the
system begins the next step of cutting, but if the system has the remaining 10 seconds

22
F2000 Series Shape Cutting Control System Operation and Installation Manual

of countdown time, press 【F6】, then the system immediately stops preheat to begin
the next step of cutting, and records the preheat time of 50 seconds, the system
automatically thinks that users need preheat time of 50 seconds, the next preheat after
the null cutting when the preheat time becomes 50 seconds.
 In the preheat process, each press the F7 key, preheat time increases by 15
seconds and the preheat time maintains the increased value till incision ending of
this time.
For example: The original system sets the preheat time of 60 seconds after the
null cutting, during the system countdown, each press F7, on the interface the
countdown increases by 15 seconds, and the next time you need to preheat, the initial
preheat time be 75 seconds.

 Cutting Speed: the maximum cutting speed, unit is mm/m.


 Manual Move Speed: the moving speed of cutting torch in manual, unit is mm/m.
 G00 Move Speed: the cutting torch speed when G00 is executed or the cutting torch
go back to the reference or some other occasion, unit is mm/m.
 Kerf: According to the cutting gap width, users set Kerf Gap compensation(the value
should be half of the cutting gap ) to ensure the dimensional precision, the system will
generate a new path automatically to make compensation to work piece. Before
cutting a work piece, you can modify kerf gap value, once begin to cut, you are not
permitted to modify the value.
 Corner speed: Plate thickness affect the cutting tip’s ac/dc rate when it moving. The
angle between the end of a cut-point line’s tangential direction and the direction of the
tangent line of the beginning of next cutting point, and the thickness of plate
determines cutting tip speed at the transition.
If the normal cutting speed is V, angle is α, the proportion of corner speed is h, then
cutting tip speed in at the time of intersection is Vx.

suspend point, it will continue to cut. This should be the function of edge cutting hole.

This function will be especially useful when cut the thick steel plate. Thick steel plate is

hard to be punched holes and the punched hole will be also larger. If directly punch hole in the

cutting path, it will maybe affect the final production quality. Using edge cutting can may

accelerate the efficiency of punch holes, save cutting time and improve production quality.

Of course, don’t use edge cutting, punch hole with lead-in is also a more effective method.

 Close arc: In setting the rate of X%, open the output port, close the arc press signal,
to prevent the steel melting under low-speed cutting tip due to temperature is too high.
 Distance to close arc: in the minimum distance of the cutting line of the initial
segment or end segment, close the arc voltage increases.
 Lose arc delay: detect the delay time of the feedback of the broken arc, if there’s
still no arc voltage input, the situation is considered to be broken arc. This parameter
can effectively avoid the arc broken alert because of the sensitivity of the broken arc
detection in the cutting methods with lead, this guarantees the continuousness of the
cutting and avoid the interrupt of frequent alert.
 Time to Lock THC before M08: broken arc check delay is independent of auto
turning high, it’s normally default value. Unit: s.
 Watch arc enable: whether real-time detection of arc voltage signal in cutting
process or not.
If setting "yes", in the cutting process, the system detects he real-time arc voltage
feedback signal. If do not detect the signal, the system will stop the current work-piece
cutting and transmit alarm signal.
If installing a "No", then in the cutting process does not detect arc voltage feedback
signal.
 Set Arc:set the arc while cutting, the range of value is 50.00-300.00。Unit: V
 Arc Protection Value: When actual arc value ≥ (arc value setting + protection
value over arc), the system will give an alarm of breaking arc and stop cutting, the
range of the value is 5.00-100.00. Unit: V。
Notice: actual arc value is less than 30 V, system will also give the alarm of breaking

arc. This 30 V is fixed value and not modified.


 THC Sensitivity: This is sensitivity reflected by THC motor. It turns larger, reflection
of THC motor turns more sensitive, but could not exceed the range,otherwise in the
process of motor turning high, it occurs wave phenomenon, it is normally set as
30-50,the range of which is 0.00-100.00。Unit: %. In the actual using, according to

G01 Parameter: X/U Y/V Straight line cutting
G02 Parameter: X/U Y/V I J Clockwise arc cutting
G03 Parameter: X/U Y/V I J Anticlockwise arc cutting
1. G92 Reference point setting
Format:
G92 [Xn] [Yn]
Parameters meaning:
[Xn] [Yn] expresses absolute coordinate of setted reference point and is also absolute
coordinate of which machine tool goes back to. If no parameter after G92, the default
reference point coordinate is (0, 0). Generally, while machine tool is taking (0,0) as
reference point, this code can be ignored.
Note:

82
F2000 Series Shape Cutting Control System Operation and Installation Manual

After input this code, coordinate of reference point setted by G92 can be saved
automatically. Before new cutting code hasn’t been inputted, the coordinate of this
reference point is always available, whether system is power off or not. After input a new
cutting code, if new code has G92 instruction, the coordinate of this reference point is the
context after G92, if no G92, the reference point is default (0, 0). In one code file, G92
only appears once.
Example:
a. G92 X0 Y0
Take (0,0) as reference coordinate, when press “go back” function key, the machine
tool goes back to coordinate point (0, 0).
b. G92 X20 Y0
Take (20,0) as reference coordinate, when press “go back” function key, the machine
tool goes back to coordinate point (20,0).
2. G90/G91
Format:
G90/G91
G90: absolute coordinate. X/Y in the code means absolute coordinate value; U and V
mean relative coordinate value.
G91: relative coordinate. X/Y in the code means relative coordinate value; U and V
also mean relative coordinate value.
Example:
a. G90 usage

G 92 X0 Y0 // R eference point (0,0) (120, 100)


G 90 // A bsolute coordinate
G 00 X 20 Y 0 // Rapidly moving tool to (20,0)
M 07 // C utting device on
G 01 X 120 Y 100 //C utting to (120,100)
M 08 //Cutting device off
M 02 // End of program (20, 0)

G00 X20 Y0 //Rapidly moving gun to (20,0)
M07 //Cutting device on
G01 X120 Y100 //Cutting to(140,100)
M08 //Cutting device off
M02 // End of program (20,0)

Fig 10.3 G91 usage

3. G20/G21
Format:
G20/G21
G20: inches unit. All of X,Y,I,J,R,U,V after G20 are inches unit.
G21: metric unit. All of X,Y,I,J,R,U,V after G21 are metric unit.
Note:
If no G20/G21 in the code, take the metric as data’s unit.
The conversion formula of inches and metric: 1 inches ≈ 25.4mm。
4. G00 Traverse rapidly
This instruction expresses that rapidly traverse to specific location, which the system
will rapidly move to at the rate of “G00 move speed* time ratio” from start point.
Format:
G00 X/Un Y/Vn [Fn]

5. G01 Linear Interpolation(at cut speed)


This instruction expresses that linearly incise to specific location, which the system
will cut to at the rate of “incise speed* time ratio” from start point of current segment.
Format:
G01 X/Un Y/Vn [Fn]
Parameters meaning:
The same to the meaning of G00 code, the difference of them is only that G00
expresses linearly walking(meaning: output ports are all closed), but G01 expresses
linearly incising.
6. G02 Clockwise Circular Interpolation
This instruction expresses that incise clockwise arc (clockwise interpolation) to
specific location, which the system will cut to at the rate of “incise speed* time ratio”
from start point of current segment.

segment, unit(mm);
 Jn – displacement of circle centre’s Y coordinate relative to start point of current

85
F2000 Series Shape Cutting Control System Operation and Installation Manual

segment, unit(mm);
 R[-]n – the radius of arc, when the angle of arc <=180°, R is positive. Otherwise, it’s
negative, unit(mm);
(In the relative coordinate system):
 Xn – displacement of endpoint’s X coordinate relative to start point of current segment,
unit(mm);
 Yn – displacement of endpoint’s Y coordinate relative to start point of current segment,
unit(mm);
(In the absolute coordinate system):
 Xn – displacement of endpoint’s X coordinate relative to working start point,
unit(mm);
 Yn – displacement of endpoint’s Y coordinate relative to working start point,
unit(mm);
Example:
Example 1: B->A
G92 X0 Y0 // Reference point (0,0)
G91 // Relative coordinate
G00 X60 Y100 //Rapidly move tool to B B
G02 X-40 Y-40 I0 J-40 //The arc 1 100

M02

Fig 10.5 G02 usage

7. G03 Counterclockwise Circular Interpolation


The same to G02. The difference is that G02 is clockwise circular(clockwise arc), but
G03 is counterclockwise circular(counterclockwise arc).
8. G40/G41/G42 Kerf Compensation
These functions are used for kerf compensation. Because flame incision and plasma
incision both finally have the existence of kerf when incise route expressed by code is
only actual size of workpiece, the actual incision workpiece without regard to the effect of
kerf isn’t needed size. After set the kerf compensation, the system will automatically work
out the effect of kerf and incise workpiece with actual size.
G41/G42 must match with G40 to be used. If G41/G42 is ignored, the default kerf
compensation is zero; if G40 is ignored, kerf compensation is available.
Format:

G01 X-127 Y0 /* Linear Interpolation */
M08 /* Incision ending */
G40 /* Disable Right Kerf Compensation */
M02 /* End of program */
Note:
The value of Kerf Compensation should be half of actual kerf width.
9. G99 proportion、rotate、image
Format:
G99 Xn Yn In Jn
Parameters meaning:
 X – proportion factor, can be set from 0.001 to 1000.
 Y – rotate angle, can be set from -360° to 360°.

87
F2000 Series Shape Cutting Control System Operation and Installation Manual

 I – image of X axis, make image along X axis, 1 expresses that there is image, 0
expresses that there is no image.
 J –image of Y axis, make image along Y axis, 1 expresses that there is image, 0
expresses that there is no image.
Note:
A code can have G99, also cannot. If there is G99, the parameter X, Y, I, J after code
should not be ignored. Mirror image and rotation will take the origin (0, 0) of Descartes
coordinate as reference point.
10. Programme notice items
 The program must contain the instruction of G92 (reference point setting) and
M02(end of program).
 G41/G42 must match with G40 to be used. If G41/G42 is ignored, the default kerf
compensation is zero; if G40 is ignored, kerf compensation is available.
 If G20 / G21 is ignored, the system will execute G21 (metric unit).
 If G90 / G91 is ignored, the system will execute G91 (relative coordinate).
 M07 and M08 can’t be neglected.
 When there is one parameter in the code of G00、G01、G02、G03 is ignored, if this
parameter is absolute coordinate, the system will set it G code coordinate value of last
row; If it’s relative coordinate, the system will set it 0.
 G00、G01、G02、G03 can be simplified: G0、G1、G2、G3.
 If there is contiguous G00 (or G01、G02、G03) around, the following G00 (or G01、
G02、G03) can be ignored.

Instruction:
 Height-adjusting device wiring with corner low-speed
When the height-adjusting device takes corner low-speed input control signal, the
system's "corner low speed" output signal is used to control the height-adjusting device's
corner low-speed input. The system takes an open-collector transistor output, with the
default active low signal. Reference section 8.7.3, set the output port type of close THC
(corner signal) ”●”. CNC system needs to output low electrical lever signal with this

99
F2000 Series Shape Cutting Control System Operation and Installation Manual

THC during decreasing rate and this signal should be broken off at normal cutting time.
 Height-adjusting device wiring with automatic / manual
When the height-adjusting device takes automatic / manual control function instead
of corner low-speed input, the system needs to use the "corner low-speed" output to
control the height-adjusting device's automatic / manual signal. The system takes an
open-collector transistor output, with the default active low signal. Meanwhile, it needs to
change the type of corner low speed from normally-open to normally-closed in the output
port configuration interface (Section 8.7.3), i.e. from "●" to "●". CNC system needs to
break off this signal with this THC during decreasing rate and this signal should output
low electrical lever at normal cutting time.
 Using height-adjusting device locating
When using the locating function of the height-adjusting device, the locating function
of numerical control should be closed. The approach is to change the input type of
successful locating from normally-open to normally-closed in the input port configuration
interface (Section 8.7.2), i.e. from "●" to "●". There are two types of locating:
The first: locating controlled by the plasma arc starting. CNC emits the plasma arc
starting, the height-adjusting device starts arc after locating, and sends signal of arc
starting successful feedback to CNC after starting arc successfully. After CNC system has
received signal of arc starting successful feedback, it will begin to incise immediately.
Such devices available in the market include AngTai, HongYuDa, HaiSi and other brands.
Such devices can connect the "plasma arc starting" output of CNC system to the " starting
arc with locating" input of the height-adjusting devices, and at the same time in the plasma
parameters (refer to section 7.3 plasma parameters) set the arc detecting time to the value
that allows for completing the testing and starting arc.
The second: finish position from the decline of the cutting torch . Before issuing the
command of starting arc, first issue the command of declining the height adjust device,
then issue the command of starting arc. These kind of height adjust devices could be
SiDaTe, HongYuDa in markets. When using these kind of height adjusting device, transfer
to the interface of plasma parameters(refer to section 7.3 plasma parameters), set the
location detecting time as the time of location of touch.
 Using CNC system locating
When using the location function of digital control system, firstly enter into the input
configuration interface, set the input type of successful location from normally closed to
normally open type, i.e. from "●" to "●". At the same time, return the signal of
successful location to the input port of the successful location of the digital controller. In

100
F2000 Series Shape Cutting Control System Operation and Installation Manual

the plasma parameter interface (refer to section 7.3 plasma parameters), set the location
detecting time and locating up time to needed values.

13.1 Horizontal / Vertical Pulses Number Setting

 Horizontal / vertical pulses number setting


Here, horizontal / vertical pulses number is also introduced in the section of 7.5
system parameter. It’s easy to set the number of horizontal (vertical) pulses. Before
drawing a line, assume one value of horizontal pulses XPls and one value of vertical
pulses YPls, set these two parameters and then save the settings. Enter the manual
interface, choose fixed moving function. Assume the fixed distance is Amm. Move A
mm horizontally, and the actual length of the line is B mm (which is generally not
equal to A), then we can calculate the horizontal pulses number. The equation is
A
XPls 
B . After calculating , replace the outcome with the assumptive Xpls(take three

decimal places at most). Similarly, move C mm vertically, the actual length is D mm,
C
YPls 
then the vertical pulses number is D.

 Requirement of pulses number:


The maximum frequency of output pulses from the system is 160 KHz. It is not
possible to work properly according to the order if the pulse frequency is higher than
160KHz. Assume the pulse number is x, the highest speed is Mv (mm/min), then
(Mv*x/60) should be less than 160000.
For example, the pulse number is x=2000, the highest speed is
Mv=12000(mm/min).Because of Mv*x/60=12000*2000/60=400000>160000, the
speed of 12000(mm/min) is not reachable. If we set x to be 500, then Mv*x/60 =
12000*500/60 = 100000<160000, at this time it can operate at the maximum rate of
12000mm/m.
While in principle the number of pulses can be set to a large value, in fact it
should be set between 150 and 1200. Because the frequency is too high, some drives
can’t work very well, the motor sometimes will be out of synchronism. On the other
hand, the performance of anti-jamming is of foreign interference is poor and the
external interference is strong.

114
F2000 Series Shape Cutting Control System Operation and Installation Manual

Note: The most reasonable number of pulses is between 150 and 1200. The
number of pulses exceeds this range, please refer to the interpretation of driver and
modify subdivision number of stepper driver and denominator of Servo driver.

Note:Receiver will pull down the IO ports which are relative of Out1-Out8
according to code value of different button which is transmitted by sender. Specific
corresponding relationships of sender and receiver reference the content of the 14.4
section.

Fig 14.3 Jumper switch

1. Address segment
The first seven bits of jumper switch (No.1 -7) are address codes; the status of
this seven bits requires that sender and receiver must be same. If they are different,
receiver cannot reply.
Note:if open the sender, there is also a 8-bit jumper switch inside. Therefore in
the same time, 128 pairs of sender and receiver can simultaneously work at most.
2. Function select segment
The first bit of jumper switch is function select segment. When it is set to short
circuit, select 8421 code receive mode. When it isn’t set to short circuit, select
independent IO port(P2P) receive mode.
