the system will extend the preheating time without limit; and if the preheating time is long enough, you can press to

stop the preheating. If you press key in the middle of direction keys, the system will save the current preheating time
automatically as the future standards.

Clear: It is to set the current position as the reference origin, and you can then see the cursor position of preview
window. It is used to get back the coordinate origin and clear the memory position of current processing.
Back to origin: It allows the cutting torch line to get back origin. It can be used to quickly get back to the relative

origin. You can press this key if you want to return to origin during the processing, or press key if you want to stop.
Back along route: Back to origin relative to the straight line. It is a function for the cutting torch to return to the origin

along cutting track. It is usually used if you want to return to cut again when the materials are not completely cut, or to
get back to origin.
Forward along route: Travel forward along the processing route without performing cutting. It is usually used to skip
the current track or preview.

Choose perforating point: It is used to skip one or several perforating points to cut directly.

Start: When the cutting torch is on moving track, you can press key to start cutting along the track. If the cutting

torch is out of track, press key and a prompt box will be shown as follows:

Press key and the cursor will be moved to option as indicated in picture such as “Idle stroke back and

cut”, which means the cutting torch will return to the cutting track automatically and start perforating and cutting.
“Cut directly and return” means to perforate at the current position and cut. “Idle stroke back and stop” means the

cutting torch will stop when idling traveling to part track. “Continue from the current point” means to cut the
next figure from the track you are moving, but the reference point is no longer the original reference point.

Ø Manual

Interface of Manual Operation

Interface explanation

Apart from function keys on the bottom and the manual speed, the interface of manual mode is similar to that of

auto mode.

Travel distance
The interface is as follows:

Interface of Travel Distance
This function is to set the proper moving distance for the cutting torch. Use the number key to set the distance, and

press key to confirm, the cutting torch will then travel the corresponding distance.

Speed shift: It is used to change the speed of manual travel quickly, which is divided into three grades,

high, medium and low. These grades are defined in the speed settings, ranging at 30%, 60% and 90% of the

limited manual speed. You can press key to quickly switch among these three grades.

Note: Because travel speed and the up/down/left/right moving speed in auto mode also use this speed, you have to

31

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

set the speed percentage in manual mode interface apart from setting the processing speed in auto mode interface.
Generally, the travel speed is faster than the processing speed.

Manual options: It offers options for opening all output ports manually. For example, the corresponding

output of cutting control will be opened if you press key (cutting control), or closed if you press it again. The
interface of manual options is shown as follows:

Manual options

Back to origin: Press in the main interface of manual mode, and the cutting torch will return to reference

origin of parts. It is used to get back to origin in auto mode.

Set breakpoint: When you pause in auto processing, enter the manual mode and press key, the system will

save the current track (the current position of cutting torch) as a breakpoint automatically. This breakpoint is saved
permanently no matter the machine is on or off. When you start the machine or enter the auto mode again, you can

press key in manual mode to restore the breakpoint as long as the current program has not changed. Once you found
the breakpoint, the system will prompt “Breakpoint memory function is enabled”, you can then switch to main interface

and press key to go on processing from the breakpoint. This function is similar to the breakpoint function in auto

mode.

Clear coordinate: When you press key, the X and Y coordinates will be cleared, that is, the current

coordinate will be used as the origin. This function is similar to clear function in auto mode.

Basic operations

1. You can press or key to increase or decrease the cutting speed. The speed will be increased or

decreased without stop if you press and hold the key in standby mode. If you press these keys during the
processing, the speed will be increased or decreased by 1% each time.

2. Press or key, the cutting nozzle will be traveled upwards or downwards. It will stop if you release

the key.

3. You can press to operate the cutting torch in eight directions.

Ø Graphic management

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Main interface of Graphic macro library

In main interface, you can press F2 key to enter graphic library interface, where there are 35 part figures and

one testing figures. You can press to select the figures. When you have selected the figure, you can

press key to set the graphic library.

Here we take a figure as an example as follows:

34

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Convex polygon with hole

This figure can be regarded as consisting of half rectangle, an isosceles trapezoid, a section of circular arc, and a

circle. Users can get different processing figure by setting different parameters. The radius of the circular hole can be
set as zero if the hole is not demanded. If needed, the height of the bottom rectangle can also be set as zero. The radius

of the top circle and the height to the center of the circular hole should be larger than the radius of the circular hole.

Press to preview when you have set the parameter. The system will pop out error information at the right bottom if

the parameter is not correct, and reset the parameter. Press to save the setup if there is no mistake, and save the set

processing file in the drive. This processing file can be used directly in the auto interface. If you press or key,

the processing files in the system would not be changed. Press key in this interface, you will enter the part options

interface where you can rotate the array, rotate or zoom in the figure. If you press key, you can view the code of

this part, and the default file is the current file, on which you can edit, test, and preview figure, etc.

Plate & hole Cutting

Some simply graphs like Rectangular, Triangular, you will find an option “Parts” after you enter to the

graph. There are two types cutting way: Plate & hole parts cutting. You can cut a rectangular hole in the big
steel plate parts. (Punching inside of Rectangular); you also can cut a rectangular plate in the steel plate

(Punching outside of Rectangular); Press changed to “Parts” option, press key is representative you

choose it. Then, you will find the behind of parameters of graphic guide is changed, you can press key to

confirm or key to preview, if you need preview the effect of parameter graph.

Operation skills

The parameter setup in graphic library is based on features of parts, and has a certain restriction. The radius of the

circular hole should not be larger than the radius of the circular arc, and the height from the center of circular hole to
the base line of the trapezoid. The length of the bottom line of trapezoid should not be smaller than twice of top arc

radius. That is because these figures cannot form a correct figure combination if the parameter exceeds the set range.

36

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Press key to preview when you have set the parameter. The system will pop out error information if the parameter

is out of range, and reset the parameter

In case of “Convex polygon with hole” setup, we set the radius of the circular hole to be 00100.000 and press ,

then, the system pops out a dialogue box indicating “Radius of circular arc is too big”, and the parameter is restored to
the original value.

“Radius of inlet arc” is added to prevent the perforating from affecting the processing quality at the edge. Some of
the figures are inlet line. This is to consider the convenience of operations without affecting the cutting quality. “Idle

move X” and “Idle move Y” are available for each figure to make it convenience for the users to set the original
position of the cutting gun.

You can press to delete the last digital number of the current parameter, and press number key to continue to set

the parameter. Press key to clear the parameter, and press and to select the setup parameter.

Grid-Cut

Grid-cut is a special type of cutting, also called grid edge-sharing cut, which can save board to the largest extend and

the cutting time. Different from other parts, it is usually used to load the square board. The parameter setup and

compensation manner are different from normal figure, similar to part array but have some differences with array. You

can press key in graphic management interface to enter grid-cut interface as follows:

37

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

As the picture shows:

Grid line—the numbers of rectangle in every column of the grid

Grid column—the numbers of rectangle in every line of the grid

Grid width—Net width of grid (size of rectangle without gap compensation)

Lead wire length—the length of lead-in and lead-out wires; they should be the same.

Gap compensation—Grid is a special figure that needs special process, so its compensation is different from that

set in the system parameters. Here you we should set the parameters of gap compensation. The compensation in the

system parameters is invalid that if you add it with force, the system will report the error. Therefore, users could
neglect it if the system shields the compensation parameters automatically.

After the setup, press [Load figure] and the system will return to the main processing interface automatically. You
can also press [View code] to view the processing code of current figure. It is the same as figures in graphic library.

Ø Part options

This section is to process the machining parts.

Figure rolling
Figuring rolling functions enable you to Rotate, Mirror, and Zoom in/out the figure at the same time. Here

we are going to introduce their functions respectively.

X Mirror is to make a copy in the symmetrical direction based on Y-axis. In a similar way, Y Mirror is to

make a copy in the symmetrical direction based on X-axis, and XY Mirror is to make a copy in the symmetrical
direction based on the line 45˚ to X or Y. Rotation: It is to rotate the process figure to a certain degree
clockwise or anti-clockwise. The system default positive angle is anti-clockwise, while the negative angle is
clockwise. Zoom in/out: It is to zoom in or out the figure basing on the actual size. It is to zoom in if the value
is larger than 1, and zoom out if the value is larger than 0 but smaller than 1. Other values are invalid. For
overall interface, see picture below:

49

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Figuring rolling

When you have entered all parameters, press key with no mirror option selected, the figure will be mirrored,
zoomed in/out, and rotated according to the parameters. If the parameters entered are wrong or invalid, the

system will give a prompt in preview interface or restore the parts.

Figure array

Press key to enter the figure array interface. There are two types of array, collinear array and stagger array.
For collinear array, every figure is arranged in text-align way. For stagger array, figures are arrayed in a certain

way to satisfy the demand of different processes. Array can only make some simple arrangements for figures,
which could not satisfy all requirements of customers. In this way, professional nest software is demanded.
Once you have entered the number of line, column, space, and offset according to the prompt, press [CONFIRM]
and the interface will be shown as follows:

50

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Interface of Figure Array

Basic operation

You have to select one of the array methods, and then enter the numbers of line and column. The limited
numbers for line and column of the software are both 9999. You can set the numbers combining your actual

processing demand and the size of part you are processing. This number is the limit value, and cannot be
achieved in practical situation.

X Off-set: It is the off-set distance between two lateral figures. If you do not input any off-set value (that

is, the off-set value is 0), the system will calculate the off-set value as the figure width (unit in MM)

automatically. If you have entered an off-set value, even 0.01MM, the system will calculate according to this
value instead of default figure width. In this situation, you have to calculate the lateral off-set value carefully to

satisfy the processing requirement of lateral distance between two figures.

Y Off-set: It is the off-set distance between two longitudinal figures. If you do not input any off-set value

(that is, the off-set value is 0), the system will calculate the off-set value as the figure height (unit in MM)
automatically. If you have entered an off-set value, even 0.01MM, the system will calculate according to this

51

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

value instead of default figure height. In this situation, you have to calculate the longitudinal off-set value

carefully to satisfy the processing requirement of longitudinal distance between two figures.

Waste boundary value: As the name implies, it refers to the width of board you would waste during the

processing. For example during the normal processing, perforating, boundary perforating and lead-wire
operations would waste some steel boards, which is called waste boundary value. During the arraying, you

should calculate and input the value carefully to save the board to the largest extend.

We should note that figure rotating and array functions cannot be used at the same time. Array should be

done before the rotating. This operation could only be done once when you are using the resume function.

Calibration

Calibration function is to calibrate the position of figure and the steel plate to make them in a reasonable

relative position. The calibration interface is as picture below.

Calibration Interface

52

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

A B

Calibration Principle:

A

Picture 1 Picture 2

1） In Picture 1, the large frame (Real line) is the steel plate, the small frame (Dashed line) is the figure to be

cut, and point A is the start point of the cutting gun. If it is cut according to Picture 1, the figure outside

may not be cut; and if it is cut when the start point is moved to the middle of the steel plate as Picture 2,
obviously it will waste the steel plate.

2） At this point, without moving the steel plate, you just have to figure out the slope angle of the plate, and

incline the figure to be processed at the corresponding angle before cutting effectively.

Method 1: Calibrate the reference side to X Axis

1） As above picture, point A is the start point of cutting gun. You can figure out the slope angle of the steel

plate by moving the cutting gun to any point of its base line. Press → , or → ; then, press

to confirm.

2） Then, the figure displayed on the controller will be rotated at a certain degree. The position of figure to be

processed and the steel plate is shown as follows:

3） If the steel plate is inclined as follows, then, the calibration method is as below:

A

54

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Press → , or → , then, press [OK] to confirm. The position of figure to be processed and the steel

plate is shown as follows:

Method 2: Calibrate the reference side to Y Axis

The principle is same as the method 1，only calibrate the difference axis, sometimes the steel plate is too

short for A axis, So, we can choose the Y axis to calibrate, press before you ready to calibrating, it will be

show “ Y” in the inner border. Then Make the cut gun move from A to B point same as the Method 1, press

key can be finished.

Restore

Press key to enter the restore function, and restore the current figure to original state. In this way, all

figures changed by the array or rotation will be restored to the original shape.

Note: Pay attention to the operating sequence of figure array and rotation. You cannot array the figure after

the rotation, but you can array the figure before rotation.

Ø Setup options

In main interface of parameter setup, the main system parameters are set as follows:

55

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Main interface of parameter setup

Ø Cutting setup

Size: It is the size of board being processed, used to check whether the board is on worktable and whether the

figure is larger than the board. This function does not work if the option is not set.

Mode: Cutting mode, M07 and M08 modes are available. Cutting mode refers to the cutting process of machine,

including flame, plasma, and preview cutting. MO7 and M08 modes are usually used by cutting torch. User-defined or

system default modes are provided. Usually, the default mode is used. For special condition, users can use their own
mode.

Note: All process parameters are saved separately according to the cutting mode to avoid mixing up. Except the
system parameters, all parameters you seen are parameters in the current cutting mode, and they do not interfere with

each other.

Speed: It is the limit speed of processing. The practical processing speed is slower than this speed, which should

multiply the speed percentage. The speed percentage can be adjusted by pressing and key in the auto interface,

56

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

ranging between 0 and 1.

Compensation: You can set the value of cutting gap compensation and mark compensation (Not available for the

moment).

When all parameters are set, you have to save the settings. Press key, and the system will prompt “Parameters

are saved, press any key to return”, you can then press any key to save the parameters and exit.

Ø Cutting type

Two cutting processes are available at the moment, flame cutting and plasma cutting.

Flame cutting

Flame cutting

1. Ignition time: It is the effective time of this output signal for each ignition.

2. Low pre-heating time: For machine with low preheating function, this is to set the time of exporting

low preheating signal before the high pre-heating.

3. High pre-heating time: Set the time of exporting high pre-heating signal before each time of

57

perforating. During the high pre-heating, you can press key to extend the time of pre-heating, and

press key to stop pre-heating and start processing.

4. Perforating time: set the delay time during the period after the cutting oxygen is opened and before

the cutting torch is lowered to the cutting height.

5. Creep time: set the running time of machine at creep speed after the perforating. The creep speed is

set in speed parameter interface, and displayed in the percentage of cutting speed. After the creep
time, the machine will accelerate to the set cutting speed. During the creeping, cutting surface can be
heated so that the perforating would be thorough.

6. Cutting torch rising time: set the effective time of cutting torch rising signal after each cutting

7. Cutting torch falling time: set the effective time of cutting torch falling signal before each cutting

8. Perforating cutting torch rising time: set the effective time of cutting torch rising signal during the

perforating

9. Perforating cutting torch falling time: set the effective time of cutting torch falling signal during the

perforating

10. Cutting close time: set the effective time of cutting control signal after each cutting. It is usually set

as 0.

11. Air-blowing time: set the time of sending out air-blowing signal when the cutting torch paused after

each cutting

12. Multilevel perforating: set whether the perforating mode uses the multilevel perforating mode. This

function is usually used when cutting the thick board and the system is equipped with low preheating
device. Common perforating is proper for cutting thin materials. Do not use this option if you do not
have low preheating device.

1. Time of air-blowing: If arc feedback signal is not used, use this parameter to set the time between the

ignition of cutting torch and the operating of machine. If arc feedback signal is used, this parameter
should be set as 0.

2. Perforating time: set the time from the finish of cutting torch falling to the operating of machine,

ensuring the perforating is done perfectly

3. Creep time: set the running time of machine at creep speed after the perforating. The creep speed is set

in speed parameter interface, and displayed in the percentage of cutting speed. After the creep time,
the machine will accelerate to the set cutting speed.

4. Cutting close time: set the effective of cutting control time after each cutting, expressed in negative

number. The time for cutting control signal closed before the cutting can be set at most -1s. After the
cutting, the machine will keep cutting the arc due to the lag stop of cutting gas, which makes the
cutting route wider. In this way, this parameter is used to compensate this problem, and is usually set
as 0.

5. Cutting torch locating and rising time: set the locating and rising time during the initial locating

6. Cutting torch rising time: It is used to confirm the rising time of cutting torch. If auto height control

system is used, this parameter should be set as 0.

7. Cutting torch falling time: It is used to confirm the falling time of cutting torch. If auto height control

system is used, this parameter should be set as 0.

8. Rising time of perforating cutting torch (Not available at the moment)

9. Arcing time: set the time from the delivery of arcing signal to the end of arcing. If auto height control

system is used, this parameter should be set as 0.

10. Distance for closing height adjustment in advance: It refers to the distance for closing height

adjustment in advance when cutting a part.

11. Arc voltage detection: whether to allow the arc feedback signal symbol

12. Cutting torch height allow: For control system with auto height control, it should be set as “On”. If

there is no auto height control system or if you do not want to use it, you can set this option as “Off”.

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Interface after you have entered the correct password

Machine setup

1. Worktable size: Set the worktable size of the machine, so that the system will prompt whether the board

or figure exceeds the allowable size of worktable. For system without worktable, it can be set as 0.

2. Scriber distance: Set the distance between scriber and cutting gun. (This function is not available for the

moment)

3. Backlash: Set the backlash compensation of X axis and Y axis.

4. Pulse impulse equivalent: Set the pulse equivalent. The pulse equivalent is a bridge for the system to

communicate with outside. It should be tested for several times to ensure the accuracy. To set the pulse
equivalent, manual and wizard methods are available

1. Manual setup

1) Set the X and Y pulse equivalent as 0.010000 (The control system sends out a pulse, and the motor

moves 0.01MM), then press to save and exit to the main interface.

2) Press to enter the interface of manual mode, and press key to set the moving distance of X axis,

and input your desired inching length. Suppose the unit of inching is 1000MM.

62

Pulse equivalent of
current system

5) Back to the main interface, press and key to move the cursor to set the accuracy.

Input 0.009780 as the pulse equivalent of X and Y axes.

Note: Usually, there will be a minor error between the pulse equivalent of X and Y of the same device;

therefore, they should be set respectively during the test. (It is recommended to set the pulse equivalent as the
same value.)

2. Setup wizard of system pulse equivalent

The application and operations of pulse equivalent setup wizard are as follows:

Press key in parameter interface to move the cursor to pulse equivalent setup wizard, and press ,

an interface is shown:

In this interface, you can press key to set the pulse equivalent of X and Y axes respectively. Here we take

“X-axis pulse equivalent setup” as an example. When the cursor is on “X-axis pulse equivalent setup”, if you

press key, the setup will be cancelled. Press to continue and then press , an interface as follows pops up:

63

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 ÿ www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Here we take the default value. However, “Set the moving distance of X axis” should be set matching the practical
worktable. The cutting torch should not be shifted out the worktable or touch other parts. If you do not use the default
1000mm, you can set the proper length as you like by just pressing the number keys. To delete, you can just press the

Delete key directly. After the setup, press key and the system will start processing as the following picture shown:

At this point, you can press to cancel and reserve the original pulse equivalent.

When the test is complete, you can press key to lift the cutting torch and press to move it away for
the convenience of measuring the moving distance with calipers. Then, Input the measured data into the prompt box

and press key, the system will prompt the pulse equivalent setup is complete. As the picture shown:

64

PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.com.cn

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Press confirm key to complete, and the value of pulse equivalent will be displayed in the pulse equivalent column

automatically. You can set the pulse equivalent of Y axis with the same method.

Note: Usually, there will be a minor error between the impulse equivalent of X and Y of the same device; therefore,

they should be set respectively during the test. (It is recommended to set the pulse equivalent as the same value.)

Speed parameter

1. Start-up speed: Set the speed of cutting torch at the beginning of start-up.

2. Acceleration of 1st section: Acceleration of the 1st section usually set when linear acceleration is adopted.

3. Speed of 1st section: Set to accelerate to the 1st speed point, usually set with the acceleration of 1st section

(Not available at the moment)

4. Acceleration of 2nd section: Set the acceleration of 2nd section, and the speed of 1st section is taken as the

start-up speed of 2nd section. (Not available at the moment)

5. Processing speed limit: Set the maximum speed during the processing. The practical speed equals to the

result of this speed limit multiplying the speed percentage.

6. Manual speed limit: Set the maximum speed of machine in manual operation. The practical speed equals

to the result of this speed limit multiplying the speed percentage.

7. High/Medium/Low speed: You can select different speed when you press (Shift speed) in the

interface of manual operation.

8. Minimum corner speed: It is usually set as 0.

9. Fast/Slow back-to-zero speed: Return back to zero in fast speed first until it stops when touching the

switch, and then leave in reverse direction in slow back-to-zero speed until the signal disappears. This is
different from back to origin.

10. Creep speed: The machine needs to move forward slowly when perforating, which is called creep. The

speed, expressed in speed percentage and determined by this parameter, is used in this situation.

11. Plasma HI/LO speed: This parameter is to define a speed limit. When the cutting speed is reduced to be

lower than this limit speed, an inhibiting signal on the height of cutting torch is exported. When the
cutting speed is higher than this limit speed, a permit signal is exported.

12. Plasma in/out-corner distance: It defines a distance range, in which, when you are not using cutting gap,

the machine will export height prohibit and height permit signal. Just set it as default 0.

Interface of speed parameter is shown as follows:

Note:

In practical cutting, you need to perform acceleration/deceleration operations at the corner. Too fast an
acceleration/deceleration at the corner would lead to halfway cutting or flame-out, and too slow the speed may
not form a right angle at the corner or lead to circular arc. In this way, the “start-up speed” and “acceleration”
in “ Speed” setup should be set for several times according to the current pulse equivalent to the optimum state.

Note: In auto cutting, the processing speed is allowed to be slower than the start-up speed. However, in auto mode, if
the processing speed is slower than start-up speed, the system will be run at start-up speed.

System setup

Other settings, including the settings on system control, are as follows:

Interface of other settings

1. On-axis setup: Set the on-axis function of the motor. This function can be enabled when using two motors to

Chapter IV Instruction System

Ø Explanation of programming symbol

Every motion of the CNC processing is done following the due process, every processing program is composed
by several instruction segments, each instruction segment is composed by several function words, and each function
word should be started with a letter following by the parameter value.

Definition of function word:

G Preparatory function
M M-function
L Cycle index or delay time
X Coordinate of X axis: It is relative coordinate in G91 (default), and absolute coordinate in G90.
Y Coordinate of Y axis: It is relative coordinate in G91 (default), and absolute coordinate in G90.
I during the circular arc processing, the center coordinate value minus the original value of X axis
J during the circular arc processing, the center coordinate value minus the original value of Y axis
R Specify the radius of circular arc

Ø Coordinate explanation

Ø Relative coordinate

In coordinate system, if the coordinate of current point is calculated from the previous coordinate, it is called
relative coordinate. As the picture shows:

Picture 2.1

As the above picture, if calculated by relative coordinate, the coordinate of the points in picture are as follows:

1. Point A is the origin, the coordinate is (X0, Y0);

2. Point B is (X50, Y50) relative to point A;

3. Point C is (X50, Y50) relative to point B;

4. Point D is Y-50 relative to point C;

5. Point D returns to point B, and the coordinate is X-50;

85

ADT-HC6500 Flame/Plasma/Fluid Controller

Ø Absolute coordinate

In coordinate system, if the coordinate of current point is calculated from the origin, it is called absolute
coordinate. As picture 2.1, if calculated by absolute coordinate, the coordinate of the points in picture are as follows

1. Point A is the origin, the coordinate is (X0, Y0);

2. Point B is (X50, Y50) relative to point A;

3. Point C is (X100, Y100) relative to point A;

4. Point D is (X100, Y50) relative to point A;

5. Point D returns to point B, and is (X50, Y50);

Ø G instruction explanation

Ø G92 reference point setup

Set the coordinate of processing origin (reference point) of program. It should be put at the beginning of program.

Format: G92 X0 Y0

If G92 is not followed with X/Y coordinate, the current coordinate (X, Y) is taken as the reference point. Usually,
when locating using the machine origin, G92 would not have X and Y content.

Ø G00 idle motion

This instruction enables you to travel to the appointed position quickly. During the travel, the system moves from

the starting point to end point in rectilinear motion at the manual limiting speed. G00 motion would not be influenced
by the speed rate.

Format: G00 Xn Yn
For example: G92 X0 Y0

G00 X75 Y75

● Current position of cutting gun
○ Expected position of cutting gun

Ø G01 linear cutting

This instruction enables you to feed the cutting gun to the appointed position in linear way. As the cutting motion
instruction, single-axis or dual-axis linear interpolation is available.

Format: G01 Xn Yn
For example:

G92 X0 Y0

Ø G02/G03 circular arc cutting

This instruction is used to cut a circle or circular arc. The circle is divided into G02 (clockwise) and G03
(anti-clockwise).

Format: G02[03] Xn Yn In Jn

Foe example (G02):

G92 X0 Y0

Note: Cut a section of circular

For example (G03):

G92 X0 Y0

G00 X55 Y55
G03 X75 Y10 I35 J35

M02

●Current position of cutting gun

○Expected position of cutting gun

Explanation:

I and J are the increment of center at X and Y-axis direction relative to the origin. When you are writing

processing files, if you want to write a circle with a diameter of 100MM, to make it simple you can enter I50 J0

directly. If the circle diameter is 150MM, you can just enter I75 J0.

Ø G04 Pause/Delay instruction

This instruction is used to set the time delay. When the program performs this instruction, it will delay the stated

time. The time unit is in second.

Format: G04 Ln

For example: G04 L3.6 (3.6s delay)

If G04 does not have Ln behind, the system will delay without time limit once G04 is performed until you press
[Start] key.

Ø Common M instructions

1) Common M instructions:

Users only need to know the functions of M07, M08, and M02 instructions. M07 refers to fixed cycle of

preheating and perforating. When the track is processed and come to perform M08, the system will close all related
valves. In the end, perform M02 to finish the processing. Detailed functions of codes are as follows:

Flame:

M07 ① Fixed cycle of preheating and perforating, operating sequence is as follows:

1. Open acetylene valve;

2. Ignition on;

3. Drop the cutting gun;

4. Open the preheating valve and start preheating;

5. Lift the perforating cutting gun;

6. Open cutting oxygen valve;

7. Drop the perforating cutting gun;

8. Perforation complete, and go to the next motion.

M08 ② Close the cutting fixed cycle. The operating sequence is as follows:

Plasma:

①

1. Close the cutting oxygen valve;

2. Lift the cutting gun.

A). with height-adjusting system:

• Enable M22
‚ Arcing M12
ƒ Waiting for arc voltage detection signal (IN0)

After arcing, the height-adjusting control starts performing initial location (With initial location
function), perforating and perforating delay automatically, and gives a signal of successful arc
voltage detection to the controller.

B). without height-adjusting system:

• Arcing, arcing delay M12
‚ Perforating, perforating delay

C). Start the following actions

②

1. Close striking arc M13

Annex I. Illustration of edition and processing

Press key in main interface to enter the edition option interface, where you can press key to create a new

processing file. Then, you can enter a file name and press key to enter the file edition interface. In this chapter, we

take cutting the following figure as an example. (Dashed line and arrow refer to the direction of motion, solid line
refers to the track of cutting, and “●” is the starting point of cutting.)

Remark: Because absolute coordinate is not used often, we do not introduce it in this chapter. In this chapter,
we use the relative coordinate.
