Valve states during operation

During each stage of cutting system operation, different valves are active (ON) or inactive (OFF). The type of gas connect console and the type and timing of the active process changes the valves that are active or inactive.

Refer to the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) or XPR® web interface to see the most current information about the state (ON-OFF) of each valve:
  • For information about how to view valve states on the CNC, refer to the instruction manual that came with your CNC.
  • To view valve states on the XPR web interface:
    1. Use the XPR web interface to select the process you want to view.
    2. Go to the Gas System screen.
      Note:

      Refer to Gas system screen. On this screen you can see which valves are active when the gas is flowing. Active valves are indicated with a gray highlight.

    3. On the Gas System screen, enable the desired mode (Test Preflow, Test Pierceflow, or Test Cutflow) for the process you want to view.
