A

B

B

Picture 1 Picture 2

As picture 1, the outer is square steel plate and the inside rectangle is the workpiece to be cut. Assuming that it is to cut the work piece from point A and the steel plate is of thick materials; then, it will cost a lot of time to perforate. However, if it is to cut from the edge of steel plate (point B), the time of preheating perforating may be saved. Detailed operations are as follows: c In automatic processing → d Press [STOP] → e Press the corresponding X, and Y keys to move the cutting gun to the edge of the steel plate →f Press [Start] again →g Select the relevant item in the popped up dialogue box → h Press [ENTER], the coordinate will be moved to the current break point automatically and proceed the processing of selected item.

Picture 1 Picture 2

To save the steels during the processing, you can move the tracks of work piece to a certain place for processing when cutting some kinds of figures. As shown in above pictures, the out frame is the steel plate, and the inside frame is the figure to be cut. For example, it may waste many materials if you cut the “work piece 2” directly after having cut the “work piece 1”, because they are a certain distance away. Therefore, you can move the track of work piece to a proper place as Picture 2 before cutting, which can save many materials.

Detailed operations are as follows:

Press [STOP] key after you have cut the “work piece 1” → Press [X+], [X-], [Y+], and [Y-] to move the cutting gun to the proper position.

15. Line and point selection

This function allows you to select any line of G code of the figure for processing.

In main menu, press [F1] (Auto) → [F4] (Grap) → [F4] (Pro) → [F2] (ChoG) to enter the interface of positioning mode as follows:

24

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

Picture 2.17.1 Before X mirroring

Picture 2.17.2 After X mirroring

18. Rotation

Sometimes, the position and angle of the steel plate are required to meet the XY axis of the cutting machine during the cutting. However, in the actual processing, it is hard to avoid the XY axes on steel plate deviating from the XY axes of cutting machine for an angle.

In virtue of rotation function, it is allowed to achieve the auto calibration of steel plate so that you do not have to move the steel plate or cutting machine. The operations are as: in main menu, press [F1] (Auto) →

[F4] (Figure) → [F4] (Process) → [F1] (Rotate) → [F4] (Rotate), and then input the rotation parameter to finish the figure rotation.

25

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

Picture 2.18 Rotation

19. Calibration

If rotation angle is uncertain when calibrating the steel plate, we can get a correct rotation angle by calibration function.

First, a reference axis is required, around which the figure is rotated at a certain angle when calibrating. To select the reference axis, press [F1] (Auto) in main interface → [F4] (Figure) → [F4]

(Process) → [F1] (Rotate) → [F5] (Calibrate), and a dialogue box will show up for selecting the reference axis

(HC4200 can only take X as the reference axis).

Picture 2.19.1 Selection of calibration reference

Reference axis X: the offset angle of steel plate is the angle formed by X axis of steel plate

26

and the X axis of reference coordinate.

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

Reference axis Y: the offset angle of steel plate is the angle formed by Y axis of steel plate and the Y axis of reference coordinate.

Press 【X+】【X-】【Y+】【Y-】to select the move cutting gun, at the same time, the system will calculate the angel automationly.

The following calibration takes X axis as the reference axis.

The principle of calibration taking X axis as reference axis is as follows:

A

Picture 1 Picture 2

1） In Picture 1, the large frame (Real line) is the steel plate, the small frame (Dashed line) is the figure to be cut, and point A is the start point of the cutting gun. If it is cut according to Picture 1, the figure outside may not be cut; and if it is cut when the start point is moved to the middle of the steel plate as Picture 2, obviously it will waste the steel plate.

2） At this point, without moving the steel plate, you just have to figure out the slope angle of the plate, and incline the figure to be processed at the corresponding angle before cutting effectively.

27

Way of calibrating the steel plate:

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

Original position Position after the move

1） As above picture, point A is the start point of cutting gun. You can figure out the slope angle of the steel plate by moving the cutting gun to any point of its base line. Press [X+] → [Y-], or [Y-]

→ [X+]; then, press [ENTER] to confirm.

2） Then, the figure displayed on the controller will be rotated at a certain degree. The position of figure to be processed and the steel plate is shown as follows:

3） If the steel plate is inclined as follows, then, the calibration method is as below:

2. Point B is (X50, Y50) relative to point A;

3. Point C is (X50, Y50) relative to point B;

4. Point D is Y-50 relative to point C;

5. Point D returns to point B, and the coordinate is X-50;

2.2 Absolute coordinate

In coordinate system, if the coordinate of current point is calculated from the origin, it is called absolute coordinate. As picture 2.1, if calculated by absolute coordinate, the coordinate of the points in picture are as follows

1. Point A is the origin, the coordinate is (X0, Y0);

2. Point B is (X50, Y50) relative to point A;

3. Point C is (X100, Y100) relative to point A;

4. Point D is (X100, Y50) relative to point A;

5. Point D returns to point B, and is (X50, Y50);

Explanation:

I and J are the increment of center at X and Y-axis direction relative to the origin. When you are writing processing files, if you want to write a circle with a diameter of 100MM, to make it simple you can enter :I50 directly. If the circle diameter is 150MM, you can just enter: I75.

3.6. G04 Pause/Delay instruction

This instruction is used to set the time delay. When the program performs this instruction, it will delay the stated time. The time unit is in second.

Format: G04 Ln

For example: G04 L3.6 (3.6s delay)

If G04 does not have Ln behind, the system will delay without time limit once G04 is performed until you press [Start] key.

3.7. G26, G27, G28 Back to reference point

This instruction allows the cutting torch to return to reference point automatically. It runs at travel speed, the maximum manual speed, which is not controlled by the percentage.

4. Common M instructions

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

1) Common M instructions:

Users only need to know the functions of M07, M08, and M02 instructions. M07 refers to fixed cycle of preheating and perforating. When the track is processed and come to perform M08, the system will close all related valves. In the end, perform M02 to finish the processing. Detailed functions of codes are as follows:

① M07 Fixed cycle of preheating and perforating, operating sequence is as follows:

Flame:

1. Open acetylene valve; M10

2. Ignition on; M20

3. Drop the cutting gun; M16

4. Open the preheating valve and start preheating; M24

5. Lift the perforating cutting gun; M14

6. Open cutting oxygen valve; M12

7. Drop the perforating cutting gun; M16

8. Perforation complete, and go to the next motion.

Plasma:

A). with height-adjusting system:

c Enable M22

d Arcing M12

e Waiting for arc voltage detection signal (IN0)

After arcing, the height-adjusting control starts performing initial location (With height adjustor for initial positioning, at this time the initial positioning in parameter is disabled), perforating and perforating delay automatically, and gives a signal of successful arc voltage detection to the controller. The control system begins the next motion when it detects the arc voltage signal.

B). without height-adjusting system and initial positioning:

1. Arcing, arcing delay M12

2. Perforating, perforating delay

3. Cutting gun falls

4. Start cutting

② M08 Close the cutting fixed cycle. The operating sequence is as follows:

Flame

84

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

1. Close the cutting oxygen valve;

2. Lift the cutting gun.

Connection mode of pulse output signal

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

‹ Differential mode:

For stepper motor driver with individual pulse and direction input, and most of servo motor driver, it is recommended to use this mode to get the better anti-interference performance.

Stepper motor driver

Servo motor driver

‹ Single-end mode:

It is applicable to the earlier stepper motor driver whose pulse and direction anodes are connected together.

Stepper motor driver

Note: It is not applicable to the some stepper motor drivers whose pulse and direction cathodes are connected together.

PU_COM and 5V- are especially set for adapting the stepper or servo driver control signal, not the differential signal, at this time the driver uses the common-anode or common-cathode connection. If the control signal of driver is of differential connection, the PU_COM and 5V- are not required to be connected.

Especially note that PU_COM is exclusively used in non-differential connection of motor pulse. It should not be used for other purposes, or it may damage the internal circuit of controller.

Note: Any two pins of PU+, PU-, DR+ and DR- cannot be connected together; otherwise, it may damage the pulse interface.

4.1

NCS’s Requirement on Impulse Equivalent Value

To improve the device precision, it is recommended to adjust the impulse equivalent value of NCS to be

0.004000—0.006000. Details are as follows:

1） If stepping motor is used, the required value can be achieved by adjusting the subdivision of driver.

The larger the value of driver subdivision is, the more precise of impulse equivalent value will be. For example, the impulse equivalent value is 0.008000 when the stepping driver is of 32 subdivisions, while it is of 64 subdivision, the impulse equivalent value will be doubled to as precise as 0.004000.

2） If servomotor is used, the required value can be achieved by adjusting the electric gear ratio of driver.

101

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

3） However, though the impulse equivalent value is adjusted as precise as 0.001000, the processing speed of the system will be slowed down. Therefore, too small an impulse equivalent value is not recommended.

4.2

Current adjustment of driver

Please adjust the current following the driver instructions of different factories. If you use equipped stepping driver Q2BYG404MA+56BYGH630C of ADTECH, please adjust the current of driver to be 1.2 times of motor current.

4.3

Test method of impulse equivalent

Please see Chapter II— Quick Start — 1 Parameter Settings— 1.5 Precision Settings (Page 18) in this user manual.

4.4

Anti-interference measures

Follow the following steps to carry out the anti-interference measures:

1） PE input port (Ground terminal) of NCS 24V power supply should be connected to the ground.

Connect the ground wire of the shell

102

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

2） A magnetic loop should be used in the input line of NCS 24V power supply. As shown below:

Picture 5.5.4

Note: Do not circle the PE port (Ground wire) inside the magnetic loop.

3） A magnetic loop should be used in the end of the X and Y signal output lines, as shown below:

103

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

Chapter VI Troubleshooting

1. Why the U-disk cannot be read?

Answer: If the controller cannot read the U-disk, you can change the “File system” of U-disk on the computer, and then format it. Detailed operations are as follows: Insert the U-disk to the computer → Open

“My Computer” → Find the removable U-disk → Right click the mouse → Click “Format (A)” → change the format of “File system” from “FAT32” to “FAT” → Click “Start” to start formatting. Copy the processed files to the U-disk to test again. Change for a new U-disk if it still cannot be read.

2. Why there is an error in the cutting?

Answer: 1. Check whether the impulse equivalent in the precision setup has been changed; or calibrate the impulse equivalent again.

2. Check the level of machine and check whether the cutting nozzle is vertical to the steel plate.

3. Why the cutting quality of the turning is poor?

Answer: Please check whether the start-up speed and the acceleration are set to be the reasonable values.

4. Why the cutting square is changed to rectangle?

Answer: please check whether the impulse equivalent is correct, and whether the actual precision of X or

Y movement is correct. If these two values are correct, check whether the roller and the slide rail of the machine are of no failures.

5. Why the cutting circle is changed to ellipse?

Answer: please check whether the impulse equivalent is correct, and whether the actual precision of X or

Y movement is correct. If these two values are correct, check whether the roller and the slide rail of the machine are of no failures.

6. Why there is wave shake in the opposite angles when cutting the circle?

Answer: Please adjust the backlash of the “Adjustment” in “Parameter”.

7. Why the motor does not work or is similar to death when it is in “Auto” state?

Answer: Please check the “Auto speed limit” to see whether it is a proper speed, and check whether percentage of manual processing is too low.

104

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

If the auto speed is set as 0, the system will have this problem.

8. Why the motor does not work or is similar to death when it is in “Manual” state?

Answer: Please check the “Manual speed limit” to see whether it is a proper speed, and check whether percentage of manual processing is too low.

If the manual speed is set as 0, the system will have this problem.

9. The processing code has the “Return” instructions. However, why the device does not return to the home position after having finished the track?

Answer: Please check the “Manual speed limit” to see whether it is a proper speed, and check whether percentage of manual processing is too low.

10. Why the right angle of the cutting square is not vertical?

Answer: Debug the start-up speed and the acceleration of “Speed” in “Parameter” again.

11. Why the anti-interference performance of plasma is poor?

Answer: Check whether all ground wires are connected well, or whether the external power filter is isolating the high frequency.

12. Why, one of the solenoid valves cannot work?

Answer: You can judge whether it is caused by the system damage or relay/solenoid valves damage in the following ways.

1) Change for a new solenoid valve of the same type to judge whether it is broken, or press [Ignition] in the “Auto” interface, and press [Preheat Oxygen], [Acetylene] and [Cutting Oxygen] to output a signal manually, then, use a multimeter to test the input end of the solenoid valve to see whether there is voltage signal.

2) If there is no voltage signal in the input end of the solenoid valve, then, open the case and use the same method as above to test the input end of the relay to see whether there is voltage signal, and to judge whether it is damaged or not.

3) If the relay has no voltage signal, that may be the damage of output end of NCS. Change for the backup output according to the following steps.

4) Open the case and the output port as the following picture:

105

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

5) Find out the corresponding backup output pin according to the following list:

Serial number Default Pin Backup Pin

Preheat oxygen 17 18

Turning speed ratio(Turn 4 8 up)

6) Weld the default pins of the plug shown in the following picture to the backup pins according to the above corresponding connection.

106

ADT-HC4500 CNC Flame/Plasma Controller

7) Connect to the power supply after the installation; in the start-up interface, press [F5] (Diagnose) →

[F2] (Define), use [Y↑] and [Y↓] to select upwards and downwards, and use [X→], [X←] to select the state, then, press “Save” to change the corresponding port to the backup state.
