3.2 Speed Regulation

3.2.1 Normal Speed Regulation


In automatic operation, or when the system is suspended, in the cutting interface the system can
regulate speed.
The operation panel, press 【F5】 or 【PRE】, increasing at a rate per click rate of 1%.Hold the 【F5】
or 【PRE】, then the rate will continuously increase to 100%.Increased to 100%, the speed is "common
parameters" in the "cutting speed."
The operation panel, press【F4】 or 【NEXT】, each click rate of speed reduced by 1%.Hold the【F4】
or 【NEXT】, then the rate will be continuously reduced to1%. Reduced to a very slow speed when
running in order to ensure the accuracy requirements, the system may auto-adjust the speed based on
the size of "horizontal pulses" and "vertical pulses", actual speed may not be the "cutting speed" of 1% is
greater than 1%.
3.2.2 Quick Speed Regulation
In automatic operation, or when the system is suspended, in the cutting interface the system can
carry out quick speed regulation.
In the cutting interface, on the operation panel, press the number keys 【1】 - 【9】, the speed will
quickly adjust to the corresponding percentage figures 10 times, for example press 【3】, adjust to 30% of
the speed limit you have set, press 【8】, adjust to 80% of the speed limit you have set.

3.3 Forward

In the automatic function interface, press key【F1】 ,the machine start to move without real cutting.
The process does not include any ignition, perforation and any other I/O working. The machine just
moves the torch according to the graphic figure.
The function can be used to check the trail and code before you start the real cutting process, or can
also be used when the process needs through the gun. Press the red “STOP” key to stop the null cutting
process if you want.

3.4 Backward

During the running process, if you want to go backward according to the origin trail to (maybe the
iron board was not cut through), you can follow the following direction:
● First, press “STOP” key to set the machine at pause status.
● In the automatic function interface, press key【F3】(Back) to make the machine go backward along
with the original trail. When the torch reaches the position you need, press “STOP” key to stop it. You
may press key 【F2】 to go forward if the machine just went back too much.
Notice: Go backward or forward function can be used repeatedly to make the machine reach an
ideal position.
● When the torch reaches the position you need, press “START” key again, if the current cutting
code is G01, G02 or G03, system will automatically perforate before performing these procedures, and
then continue the current program, if the current row is not G01, G02 or G03, the system will directly
continue the current line program.

ig. 3.2 edge perforation
There are two reasons led to this situation:
(1) When the common parameter "edge perforation" selects "Yes" and the next processing line
G-code 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 "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 work piece, 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 discovery cutting torch malfunction, or other issues, need to move the cutting tip out
of cutting region to overhaul. After the maintenance, this key can be pressed. Then return to the paused
point, press the "start" button, the system automatically continues to cutting.

During the return process, the user can press the "Stop" button to stop the operation, and can
continue to return operation after pressing of 【F3】. Number of back to reference and stop has no limit.

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 after null cutting, 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 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.
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.

After the breakpoint is recovered, if the position is off from the original one, you could move the
torch to the original point manually, or realizing it through choosing rows or numbers. (Please refer to
chapter 4.5 Row and number Selection). The method is : choose stopping incising, move the torch to the
original point manually, choose the nearest row through choosing the row selection(or number selection),
press “START”, then the system will show in Fig 5.3:

up when it needs to move to another place after the current cutting is over; while the Pierce
Up Time means the time that the torch needs to lift up after preheating in the fixed cycle of
perforation.
 Pierce Down Time: Time for the torch to put down in the perforation. The difference between
Torch Down Time and Pierce Down Time is that: Torch Down Time means the time that the
torch needs to put down before preheating; while the Pierce Down Time means the time that
the torch needs to put down after finishing Torch Up Time and opening cutting oxygen in the
fixed cycle of perforation.
 THC Adjustment: According to the user device configuration, choose whether or not to use

 Pierce time: Perforation time. Enter any positive number, unit is s.
 Torch Up Time: When arc press is turned off, the time for the torch to lift up. Enter any
positive number, unit is s.
 Arcing Check Time: Enter any positive number, unit is s. If not detected any feedback signal of
success arc starting within the detection time, the system prompts an error message and
terminates the current work of cutting, according memory breakpoints to withdraw from the
program.
 Position check Time: Enter any positive number, unit is s. Delay time of the success of position
check.
 Position up Time: Enter any positive number, unit is s. Before positioning check, the time for
the torch to lift up.
 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.
 Watch arc enable: Real-time detection of arc voltage signal in cutting process.

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 terminates the current work of cutting, according
memory breakpoints to withdraw from the program.
If installing a "No", then in the cutting process does not detect arc voltage feedback signal.

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-collator transistor output, with the default active low signal. When the
height-adjusting device is not of appropriate type, it needs to be converted by the delay.
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. When the height-adjusting device is not of appropriate type, it needs

71
FangLing F2100B CNC Control System Manual, Version 20130408
For CNC Plasma Cutter Options, Specs and Prices, visit http://am.co.za/plasma

to be converted by the delay. Meanwhile, it needs to change the type of corner low speed from
normally-open to normally-closed in the output configuration interface (Section 10.2.2), i.e. from "●" to "
〇".
 Using height-adjusting device locating
When using the locating function of the height-adjusting device, the locating 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 configuration interface (Section 10.1.3), i.e. from "●" to "〇". 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 arc starting success back to CNC after starting
arc successfully. 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 7.4 of 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 adjust device, transfer to the interface of plasma parameters (refer to section 7.4 of plasma
parameters),set the plasma detecting time to the same as the time of location of cutting touch.
 Using CNC system locating
When using the location function of digital control system, first entering the input configuration
interface, set the input type of successful location from normally closed to normally open type, i.e., from
"〇" to "●". At the same time, return the signal of successful location to the input of the successful
location of the digital controller.

10.2.2 Output configuration

The number and type of the output could be configured, for example, the igniting output number
could be 3, also it could be configured to 07, and the output type could be normally open or normally
closed. The detailed methods are shown in figure 10.9.
Press F5 (Diagnosis) in the main interface, F8 (Systemdef), F3 (Define), enter the password "1396"
and press ENTER, F2 (output).

Chapter11 Installation and Debugging

11.1 Horizontal / vertical pulses number setting

 Horizontal / vertical pulses number setting


It’s easy to set the horizontal (vertical) pulses number. 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),
A
XPls •
then we can calculate the horizontal pulses number. The equation is B . After calculating,
replace the outcome with the assumptive Xpls(take three decimal places at most). Similarly, move C mm
C
YPls •
vertically, the actual length is D mm, then the vertical pulses number is D.
 requirement of pulses number:
The maximum frequency of output pulses from the system is 200 KHz. It is not possible to work
properly according to the order if the pulse frequency is higher than 200KHz. Assume the pulse number
is x, the highest speed is Mv (mm/min), then (Mv*x/60) should be less than 200000.
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>200000, the speed of 12000(mm/min) is not reachable. If we set x
to be 1000, then Mv*x/60 = 12000*1000/60 = 200000, this time it can just to reach the operating speed
of 12,000. While in principle the number of pulses can be set to a large value, in fact it should follow
these two settings. Because the frequency is too high, some drives can’t work very well, the motor 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.
