Connect for Communication
- Communication methods for XPR® cutting systems
  There are multiple communication methods to fully operate the plasma cutting system.
- Requirements for EtherCAT®
  This information prepares you to connect the plasma power supply to the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) with EtherCAT® cables.
- Requirements for serial RS-422
  This information prepares you to connect the plasma power supply to the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) with serial RS-422 cables.
- Requirements for discrete
  This information prepares you to connect the plasma power supply to the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) with discrete cables.
- Requirements for the XPR® web interface
  You can connect to the XPR® web interface through Wi-Fi® with Access Point (AP) mode or with network mode.
  - Web interface support information
  - Use AP mode to connect
    In Access Point (AP) mode, each plasma power supply has its own connection. You can only connect to and control one plasma power supply at a time.
  - Use network mode to connect
    Use network mode to connect multiple plasma power supplies to a network. You can connect to and control multiple plasma power supplies at the same time.
  - Reset the wireless module
    It is possible to make mistakes when you set up the wireless module. Use this procedure to set your wireless module to its default settings.
  - Disable the wireless connection temporarily
    If you want to disable the wireless connection temporarily, use this procedure.
  - Disable the wireless connection permanently
    If you want to disable the wireless connection permanently, use this procedure.
  - Web interface screen information
    If you replace the control Printed Circuit Board (PCB), the information on the PCB changes. This includes the Media Access Control (MAC) address, System ID, passwords, and network information.
    - Plasma power supply screen
      On this screen you can monitor the status of the plasma power supply. This screen also shows a list of inputs and outputs. When an input or output is active, the screen shows it as red or gray.
    - Gas system screen
      On this screen you can monitor the status of the TorchConnect™ console and the gas connect console. You can also see which valves are active when the gas is flowing.
    - Log screen
      On this screen you can monitor active diagnostic codes and see diagnostic code history.
    - Operate screen
      On this screen, if you have the device that is in control of the plasma power supply, you can select a process ID that aligns with the material, thickness, and process type.
    - Other screen
      On this screen you can see the software versions and monitor the status of the wireless connection. You can also select the Configure, Connect, and Update commands.
- Change the device that has control
  Use these steps to make sure that the correct device has control of the plasma power supply.
- Use ohmic contact sense
  You can use internal or external ohmic contact sense. No action is necessary for internal ohmic contact sense. To use external ohmic contact sense, make the following modification to the ohmic wiring inside of the TorchConnect™ console.
- Install a remote on-off switch
  As an alternative to using the main power supply, do these steps to install your own remote on-off switch so that you can control power to the gas connect console, TorchConnect™ console, and other parts.
- Install a redundant remote on-off switch
  Do these steps if you want to use the redundant remote on-off switch.

Operate screen

On this screen, if you have the device that is in control of the plasma power supply, you can select a process ID that aligns with the material, thickness, and process type.

You can customize some parameters by choosing the + to open the menu. The plasma power supply keeps this customization until the remote on-off switch is set to OFF or the power is removed from the plasma power supply. The customization is also reset when you select a new process.
