Operation
Process selection
All of the cutting processes have a process ID that is a unique identification number. Each process ID aligns with a set of preprogrammed values in the cut chart database in the plasma power supply control Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
Use process IDs for optimal settings
To automatically get recommended settings, select the process ID for the process that aligns with your cutting application.
Process ID offsets / overrides
You can adjust some preprogrammed settings with an offset or override command.

Operation
- CNC controls and display
  A Computer Numerical Control (CNC) controls cutting system operation.
- Wireless device controls
  You can use a wireless device to set up and monitor the plasma cutting system.
- Power-indicator LEDs
  An Light Emitting Diode (LED) illuminates to show the power status on the plasma power supply and on other system components.
- Sequence of operation
  A set of flowchart images shows the sequence of operation for the plasma cutting system.
- Process selection
  All of the cutting processes have a process ID that is a unique identification number. Each process ID aligns with a set of preprogrammed values in the cut chart database in the plasma power supply control Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
  - Use process IDs for optimal settings
    To automatically get recommended settings, select the process ID for the process that aligns with your cutting application.
    - Process ID offsets / overrides
      You can adjust some preprogrammed settings with an offset or override command.
- Cut charts
  A cut chart contains parameters that are necessary to get optimal results for your cutting process with special materials and thicknesses.
- Torch consumables
  The plasma cutting system uses the same consumable parts for perpendicular-position processes (90° angle) and bevel-cutting processes.
- Example configurations for consumables
  Consumables that are worn or have damage can have a bad effect on cut quality.
- Recommendations for maximum consumable life
  Consumables are the parts of the torch that wear as they are used. Consumables that are near end-of-life can have a bad effect on cut quality and performance.
- Arc Response Technology
  Arc Response Technology™ lets the plasma cutting system adapt to problems at the torch that can cause decreased consumable life or possible torch damage.

Process ID offsets / overrides

You can adjust some preprogrammed settings with an offset or override command.

An offset/override command is a type of serial RS-422, EtherCAT®, or wireless (XPR® web interface through Wi-Fi®) signal that lets you change the default value of a setting within a permitted limit.

For example, if a preprogrammed plasma pressure value is 65, and you want to change it to 70, send an offset command of 5 (65 + 5 = 70). You can also use the XPR web interface to send the plasma pressure value that you want (70).

Offset settings stay on until you send a new process ID to the cutting system or until power is removed from the cutting system.

For descriptions of offset commands and the permitted limits for each adjustable setting, refer to the CNC Communication Protocol for the XPR Cutting System (809810).
