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

10
 F2100B Digital Control Incise Machine System Manual

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.

3.5 Edge Cutting / Offset Cutting / Return

When the torch is not on the actual path of the current work piece, it will prompt as follows:

Fig. 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 workpiece, 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
11
 F2100B Digital Control Incise Machine System Manual

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.

3.6 Back to Reference Function

Pause in the processing, if press the 【F3】, then the system will prompt:

Fig. 3.3 return reference prompt

Press the Enter key, the system will automatically return to the starting point of the work
piece, and then the system automatically switches to processing the main interface, and waits for
further user action.

12
 F2100B Digital Control Incise Machine System Manual

Fig. 3.4 main process interface

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.
13
 F2100B Digital Control Incise Machine System Manual

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.

3.8 Perforation Point Selection

Before you start cutting or cutting is paused, the function key prompt F8 is "select new
pierce", then press F8, the system will prompt:

Fig. 3.5 select new pierce

If you press ESC, the system will then return the cutting interface. If you press ENTER, the
system will again prompt:

Fig. 3.6 pierce prompt

pierce point can be input manually at this time. You can also press ESC to exit without
manual input perforation point, and then press the left and right arrow keys to select the
perforation point.

3.9 Dynamic Amplification

After the start of cutting, the F8 in the cutting interface will become "dynamic amplification",
then press the F8 key, full-screen amplify the processing graphic , and dynamically tracking.

● Press the F8 key continuously, the system will progressively amplify graphic.
● Press ESC to exit the amplified display, back to the cutting interface.

3.10 Cutting Exit

When the cutting operation does not get finished, and the cutting machine also being in the
pause condition, if press 【 】
Esc , the system will query whether quit the cutting operation. If
【 】 【 】
pressing Enter , the system will exit, and if pressing Esc the system will not exit, get into the
automatically interface and go on with the cutting operation at the current place.

G00 Move Speed: the cutting torch speed when G00 is executed or the cutting torch go
back to the reference or some other occasion, unit is mm/m.
Kerf: According to the cutting gap width, users set Kerf Gap compensation(the value should
be half of the cutting gap ) to ensure the dimensional precision, the system will generate a
new path automatically to make compensation to work piece. Before cutting a work piece,
you can modify kerf gap value, once begin to cut, you are not permitted to modify the value.
Corner speed: Plate thickness affect the cutting tip’s ac/dc rate when it moving. The angle
36
 F2100B Digital Control Incise Machine System Manual

between the end of a cut-point line’s tangential direction and the direction of the tangent line
of the beginning of next cutting point, and the thickness of plate determines cutting tip speed
at the transition.
If the normal cutting speed is V, angle is α, plate thickness is h, then cutting tip speed in at
the time of intersection is Vx
αh
Vx = V
50π
Notice: The unit is mm. The max thickness of plate is 100 mm, if more than 100mm also
are considered to be 100mm
Cutting Type: There are two cutting types : Oxygen fuel gas and Plasma parameters. You

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-colletor 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.

67
 F2100B Digital Control Incise Machine System Manual

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 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
● 〇
(Section 10.2.2), i.e from " " to " ".
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 "
● 〇
" to " ". 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 declinging 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 heigh 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 controll system, first entering the input
configuration interface, set the input type of successful location from normally closed to normally
〇 ●
open type, ie, from " " 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, 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).

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), then we can calculate the horizontal pulses number. The equation is

A
XPls •
B . After calculating , replace the outcome with the assumptive Xpls(take three decimal
places at most). Similarly, move C mm vertically, the actual length is D mm, then the vertical

C
YPls •
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.
