Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Introduction

Hypertherm’s CE-marked equipment is built in compliance with standard EN60974-10. The equipment should be installed and used in accordance with the information below to achieve electromagnetic compatibility.
The limits required by EN60974-10 may not be adequate to completely eliminate interference when the affected equipment is in close proximity or has a high degree of sensitivity. In such cases it may be necessary to use other measures to further reduce interference.
This cutting equipment is designed for use only in an industrial environment.

Installation and use

The user is responsible for installing and using the plasma equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as earthing the cutting circuit, see Earthing of the workpiece. In other cases, it could involve constructing an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work complete with associated input filters. In all cases, electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where they are no longer troublesome.

Methods of reducing emissions

Mains supply

Cutting equipment must be connected to the mains supply according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering of the mains supply.
Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed cutting equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its length. The shielding should be connected to the cutting mains supply so that good electrical contact is maintained between the conduit and the cutting power source enclosure.

Maintenance of cutting equipment

The cutting equipment must be routinely maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. All access and service doors and covers should be closed and properly fastened when the cutting equipment is in operation. The cutting equipment should not be modified in any way, except as set forth in and in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions. For example, the spark gaps of arc striking and stabilizing devices should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Cutting cables

Assessment of area

Before installing the equipment, the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:
a. Other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone
cables; above, below and adjacent to the cutting equipment.
b. Radio and television transmitters and receivers. c. Computer and other control equipment. d. Safety critical equipment, for example guarding of industrial
equipment.
e. Health of the people around, for example the use of
pacemakers and hearing aids.
f. Equipment used for calibration or measurement.
g. Immunity of other equipment in the environment. User sha
ensure that other equipment being used in the environment is
ble. This may require additional protection measures.
compati
h. Time of day that cutting or other activities are to be carried
out.
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the building and other activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.
The cutting cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at or close to the floor level.

Equipotential bonding

Bonding of all metallic components in the cutting installation and adjacent to it should be considered.
However, metallic components bonded to the workpiece will increase the risk that the operator could receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode (nozzle for laser heads) at the same time.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Earthing of the workpiece

Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, nor connected to earth because of its size and position, for example, ship’s hull or building steel work, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capacitances selected according to national regulations.
Note: The cutting circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons. Changing the earthing arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is competent to assess whether the changes will increase the risk of injury, for example, by allowing parallel cutting current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equipment. Further guidance is provided in IEC 60974-9, Arc Welding Equipment, Part 9: Installation and Use.

Screening and shielding

Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the entire plasma cutting installation may be considered for special applications.

Recommended grounding and shielding

Introduction

This section describes practices for grounding and shielding a plasma cutting system to minimize its susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI) (also known as noise). It also describes the service ground, protective earth (PE) ground, and DC power ground. The diagram at the end of this section shows these types of grounds in a plasma cutting system.
Specifications and Installation

Types of grounding

Service ground (also known as safety ground) is the grounding system that applies to the incoming line voltage. It prevents a shock hazard to any personnel from any of the equipment or the cutting table. It includes the service ground coming into the plasma system and other systems, such as the CNC and the motor drives, as well as the supplemental ground rod connected to the cutting table. In the plasma circuits, the ground is carried from the plasma system chassis to the chassis of each separate console through the interconnecting cables.
Protective earth (PE) ground is the grounding system inside the electrical equipment. The PE ground, which connects to the service ground, provides electrical continuity between the equipment and the AC service.
The grounding practices in this section have been used on many installations with excellent results, and Hypertherm recommends that these practices be a routine part of the installation process. The actual methods used to implement these practices may vary from system to system, but should remain as consistent as possible. However, due to the variation in equipment and installations, these grounding practices may not succeed in every case to eliminate EMI problems. Hypertherm recommends that you consult your local and national electrical codes to make sure that the grounding and shielding practices that you use satisfy the requirements for your location.
DC power ground (also known as cutting current ground or work) is the grounding system that completes the path of the cutting current from the torch back to the plasma system. It requires that the positive lead from the plasma system be firmly connected to the cutting table ground bus with a properly sized cable. It also requires that the slats, on which the workpiece rests, make firm contact with the table and the workpiece.
EMI grounding and shielding is the grounding system that limits the amount of EMI emitted by the plasma and motor drive systems. It also limits the amount of EMI that is received by the CNC and other control and measurement circuits. The grounding practices described in this section mainly target EMI grounding and shielding.

Grounding practices

1. Unless noted, for HPR or MAXPRO200 cutting systems, use cables with a minimum gauge of
13.3 mm diagram with an HPR or MAXPRO200 cutting system on page 60. Unless noted, for XPR cutting systems, use cables with a minimum gauge of 21.2 mm ground cables shown in the Example grounding diagram with an XPR cutting system on page 61.
2. The cutting table is used for the common, or star, EMI ground point and should have threaded studs welded to the table with a copper bus bar mounted on them. A separate bus bar should be mounted on the gantry as close to each motor as possible. If there are motors at each end of the gantry, run a separate EMI ground cable from the far motor to the gantry bus bar. The gantry bus bar should have a separate, heavy EMI ground cable 21.2 mm table bus bar. The EMI ground cables for the torch lifter and the RHF or combined ignition/gas connect console must each run separately to the table ground bus.
3. Inadequate grounding not only exposes operators to dangerous voltages, but inadequate grounding also increases the risk of equipment failure and unnecessary downtime. Ideally a ground should be zero ohms resistance, but field experience indicates under 1 ohm resistance is satisfactory for most applications. Hypertherm recommends that you consult your local and national electrical codes to make sure that the grounding and shielding practices that you use satisfy the requirements for your location.

(4 AWG; 047031) to the
4. A ground rod (a PE ground) that meets all applicable local and national electric codes must be installed within 6 m (20 ft) of the cutting table. For HPR or MAXPRO200 cutting systems, the PE ground must be connected to the cutting table ground bus bar using a minimum 13.3 mm
2
(6 AWG) green and yellow grounding cable (047121). For XPR cutting systems, the PE ground must be connected to the cutting table ground bus bar using a minimum 21.2 mm
2
(4 AWG) grounding cable (047031). Consult an electrician in your location to make sure that your grounding meets all local and national electric codes.
5. For the most effective shielding, use the Hypertherm CNC interface cables for I/O signals, serial communication signals, between plasma systems in multi-drop connections, and for interconnections between all parts of the Hypertherm system.
6. All hardware used in the ground system must be brass or copper. While you can use steel studs welded to the cutting table for mounting the ground bus, no other aluminum or steel hardware can be used in the ground system.
7. AC power, PE, and service grounds must be connected to all equipment according to local and national codes.
8. For a system with a remote high frequency (RHF) console or combined ignition/gas connect console, the positive, negative, and pilot arc leads should be bundled together for as long a distance as possible. The torch lead, work lead, and the pilot arc (nozzle) leads may be run parallel to other wires or cables only if they are separated by at least 150 mm (6 inches). If possible, run power and signal cables in separate cable tracks.

Specifications and Installation

9. For a system with a RHF console or combined ignition/gas connect console, Hypertherm recommends that you mount this console as close as possible to the torch. This console also must have a separate ground cable that connects directly to the cutting table ground bus bar.
10. Each Hypertherm component, as well as any other CNC or motor drive cabinet or enclosure, must have a separate ground cable to the common (star) ground on the table. This includes the ignition/gas connect console, whether it is bolted to the plasma system or to the cutting table.
11 . For HPR or MAXPRO200 cutting systems, the metal braided shield on the torch lead must be
connected firmly to the ignition/gas connect console and to the torch. It is recommended to be electrically insulated from any metal and from any contact with the floor or building. The torch lead can be run in a plastic cable tray or track, or covered with a plastic or leather sheath.
12. For XPR cutting systems, the coupler on the pilot arc and coolant hose set assembly must be connected firmly to the gas connect console and torch connect console collars. Make sure to tighten the clamp. The collar on the torch lead must be connected firmly to the torch sleeve. Make sure to tighten the clamp. Connect a ground lead (10 AWG) to the flat terminal on the torch mounting sleeve.
13. The torch holder and the torch breakaway mechanism – the part mounted to the lifter, not the part mounted to the torch – must be connected to the stationary part of the lifter with copper braid at least 12.7 mm (0.5 inches) wide. A separate cable must run from the lifter to the gantry ground bus bar. The valve assembly should also have a separate ground connection to the gantry ground bus bar.
14. If the gantry runs on rails that are not welded to the table, then each rail must be connected with a ground cable from the end of the rail to the table. The rail ground cables connect directly to the table and do not need to connect to the table ground bus bar.
15. If you are installing a voltage divider board, mount it as closely as possible to where the arc voltage is sampled. One recommended location is inside the plasma system enclosure. If a Hypertherm voltage divider board is used, the output signal is isolated from all other circuits. The processed signal should be run in twisted shielded cable (Belden 1800F or equivalent). Use a cable with a braided shield, not a foil shield. Connect the shield to the chassis of the plasma system and leave it unconnected at the other end.
16. All other signals (analog, digital, serial, and encoder) should run in twisted pairs inside a shielded cable. Connectors on these cables should have a metal housing. The shield, not the drain, should be connected to the metal housing of the connector at each end of the cable. Never run the shield or the drain through the connector on any of the pins.

The EDGE Connect supports a touchscreen. The EDGE Connect TC comes with a touchscreen. Touch the window controls and fields to enter data into the software. Any field that requires data input automatically shows an on-screen keypad when you tap it twice.

Touchscreens, drops of water, and unintended motion

Drops of water can be a safety concern if you install the EDGE Connect on a water table. If water gets onto the touchscreen, the drops can activate a jog key and cause unintended motion on the table. Unintended motion can cause dangerous conditions for the operator and other people, damage to machinery, or faults in cutting. To prevent unintended motion:
Dry your hands completely before you use the touchscreen. Install the CNC so that the touchscreen has protection from water splashes. If water could get on the touchscreen, do not display the jog keys in the Watch Window or
the software operator console (Soft Op Con).
Hypertherm recommends enabling the Ready to Move? dialog if there are any concerns that water could get onto the EDGE Connect touchscreen. The Ready to Move? dialog can be enabled on the Special Setups screen (Setups > Password > Special Setups).

Machine Stop Strategies and Table Hardware

Machine stop strategies

Phoenix provides several options to ramp down motion to stop the cutting system in the case of a fault or error condition or an emergency. The option you choose depends on the mechanical design of the cutting system and your national and local electrical and safety codes. Consult your regulatory authority to make sure that your cutting system meets all codes.
Use the following information to implement the machine stop strategies that meet the needs of your cutting system and the electrical and safety codes for your location.

How the CNC stops motion

Program pause/stop (non-urgent stop)

A non-urgent stop is used to pause or stop cutting or trialing. The CNC brings the machine to a stop using the acceleration rate set for the program speed or manual move speed at which the cutting system is moving.

Fast stop/fast deceleration (urgent stop)

Fast stop brings all drives to an abrupt stop when a fault occurs and then disables the drives. A fast stop occurs when an operator activates the fast stop input or under these fault conditions:
Torch Collision (if Fast Decel is selected on the I/O setup screen)
X and Y overtravel inputs are activated Software overtravel limits are activated (if Fast Decel is selected)
Fast stop should be used when safety is not a factor. The deceleration rate is entered on the Speeds screen in the Fast Deceleration field. The table’s home position (if homing is used) and program position information are retained.
Figure 13 – Fast stop/fast deceleration

Fault ramp

Fault Ramp brings all drives to an abrupt stop and then disables the drives when one of these faults occur:

Time

Fault Ramp Time
0.1 – 2 seconds
The deceleration rate uses the Fault Ramp Time entered on the Axis screens and disables the drives when the Fault Ramp time expires. The table’s home position (if homing is used) is not retained and the table will need to be homed. An exception is a torch collision, which does not require homing again.
To meet immediate-disable safety standards, the Fault Ramp Time must be set to 0 seconds. When the Front Panel E-Stop input is activated, the drives will be disabled immediately. With no resistance from the motors, there is a potential for the table gantry to coast or move uncontrollably. How far the cutting machine coasts depends on the gantry weight, mechanics, the speed of the gantry when the Front Panel E-Stop input is activated, and the amount of friction present.
If a coasting gantry is a concern, adjust the Fault Ramp Time value to bring the gantry to a controlled stop before the drives are disabled. The available range for Fault Ramp Time is between 0.1 and 2 seconds.
In general, larger gantries require a longer Fault Ramp Time to stop the cutting system safely. Shorter Fault Ramp Times result in faster, or immediate, stop times which can cause damage to the cutting machine and the drive mechanics. Controlling the gantry to a stop may not meet certain safety regulations and may not meet other local codes or standards. Consult local safety regulations for a complete understanding of the requirements for your system.
The CNC is capable of running with software overtravel limits that are based on position. When enabled, this feature lets you select Fault or Fast Decel when active. Fault operates as hardware switches with immediate fault. Fast Decel uses the fast deceleration value to ramp down motion.

Emergency stop (E-stop) and Fast Stop compared

Fast Stop
Use the Fast Stop input when you want an urgent stop. DO NOT use the Fast Stop input for an E-stop. Connect the Fast Stop input to a separate switch on the operator console. When this input activates, the CNC decelerates motion for 1 second using the Fast Deceleration Rate on the Speeds screen, then turns off the individual drive enable signals and the Drive Enable output. The CNC retains position information so that you can restart the cutting job after clearing the condition that caused you to stop the system.
If the Fast Stop input is removed in less than 1 second, the drives may remain enabled.
Emergency stop
An emergency stop, or E-stop, is a physical switch on the cutting system or on a CNC custom operator console. The design and implementation of an E-stop switch and circuit depends on national and local electrical and safety codes.
The EDGE Connect/EDGE Connect TC CNC provides an input called Front Panel E-Stop for use when designing an E-stop circuit. When this input activates, the CNC turns off the individual drive enable signals and the Drive Enable output. The CNC also erases all position information from memory and requires that you re-home the cutting system. The CNC displays the status message Emergency Stop Active when the Front Panel E-stop input activates.
In Phoenix, you can enter a fault ramp time for each axis. The Fault Ramp Time delays the CNC from turning off the Drive Enable output so that power is maintained to the drives briefly (0.1 to 2 seconds) to stop the gantry without damage to the mechanics.
Normally local safety codes require AC power to be removed immediately from the drives. In this case, enter 0 for the fault ramp time for each axis.
CAUTION
Using a 0-second Fault Ramp Time could result in the gantry coasting, which can damage the cutting machine and the drive mechanics. Controlling the gantry to a stop may not meet certain safety codes and may not meet other local codes or standards. Consult local safety regulations for a complete understanding of the requirements for your system.

Enable the cutting machine after a power cycle or stop

After you turn ON the cutting machine and after an emergency or urgent stop, one or more error messages like the following appears.
These error messages are remaining from the interruption in EtherCAT network communications when the CNC was turned off or motion stopped. You need to re-enable the drives. Choose Manual to close each message. Phoenix continues to start the EtherCAT network.
If the error messages continue to appear, another method may be necessary. This is because how you re-enable the cutting machine depends on the wiring of the drives, the machine’s safety circuit, the machine’s reset mechanisms, the disable input assigned in the CNC, and the timing of the CNC’s enable logic.
The following is another example sequence of re-enabling the drives. (The state of the machine is: E-stop depressed, no AC power to the drives, and the disable input is active to the CNC.) Turn ON the CNC and wait for the network to establish communications.
Deactivate the disable input to the CNC (Drive Disabled, Front Panel E-stop, or Fast Stop). Often this is accomplished by a reset mechanism or push-button, depending on the operator console and the drive box safety circuit.
After the input is deactivated, the CNC attempts to re-enable the drives for up to 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, the CNC stops trying. The drives must be in stand-by mode or the attempt fails after 2 seconds. If the CNC doesn’t succeed in re-enabling the drives automatically, you can re-enable the drives manually by choosing the Setups > Enable Control soft key.

Safety circuit example

The following drawing shows a simplified example of the components and I/O of a cutting system safety circuit.
The drawing is an example only. There are other ways to create a safety circuit. For instance, this example does not use the Safe Torque Off (STO) that is available on certain drives.
The CNC follows this sequence of operations:
Power to the drives requires:
Front Panel E-stop input or Fast Stop input must be OFF, and
Drive Enable output must be ON, then
AC power can flow to the drives through the main contactor. A switch connects the
main contactor to the safety circuit.
Figure 15 – Safety circuit logic example
When the E-stop push button is engaged, the Drive Disabled input turns ON and the Drive Enable output turns OFF. As long as Drive Disabled is ON, AC power is removed from the drives and no motion can occur. Use both of these inputs.
The Front Panel E-stop input indicates the E-stop switch is engaged. Drive Disabled indicates the safety circuit has not been reset. You have to re-enable with a push-button reset that turns off the Drive Disable input and maintains that status until the Drive Enable output becomes active.
After the stop condition is cleared, the Power On/Reset switch is used to restore the I/O and power to the drives.
84 809340 Installation and Setup Manual EDGE Connect

Drive enable signals

When the CNC turns ON, with no safety inputs active (Drive Disabled, Fast Stop, or Front Panel E-stop), it immediately enables the drives.
Each axis has an axis enable signal. Phoenix activates this signal when it turns ON the Drive Enable # status signal where the # is the axis number. When the drives are wired in series, these signals activate or deactivate at the same time. When the drives are wired in parallel, the signals activate and deactivate in succession. After the Drive Enable bit is activated for each axis in the cutting system, the CNC turns ON the Drive Enable output.
In the Setups > I/O screen, select whether the drive enable signals should be activated in series or independently. If a fault or error occurs, drives in series all complete their ramp times before the drives are disabled. Drives that are wired in parallel or independently each disable at the end of the Fault Ramp Time.

Drive Enable output

A Drive Enable output must be assigned in the CNC and wired into the cutting system safety circuit. This output turns off after the individual drive enable signals turn off. When you require a controlled stop to the cutting system where motion ramps down before the drives are disabled, you want to include the Drive Enable output as part of your safety circuit logic and drive wiring scheme.
Machine Stop Strategies and Table Hardware
A 2-second delay is required before the Drive Enable output turns on. The operator may need to press and hold the reset switch for 2 seconds.

Drive Disabled input

Wire this input to the drive box safety circuit. The CNC doesn’t know if a drive is disabled unless the Drive Disabled input is wired into the safety circuit. If a safety condition occurs, the Drive Disabled input opens (it is Normally Closed) and the CNC cannot enable the drives until the Drive Disabled input is closed again.
In a cutting system using an EDGE Connect CNC, messaging on the network tells the CNC whether or not the drives are enabled. If one or more drives are not enabled then the CNC changes to Control Disabled state. When the issue is resolved, the operator can toggle the Enable Control soft key in the Setups screen. This allows the CNC to re-enable the drives.

Hardware overtravel limits

Select whether the cutting system will be using hardware overtravel switches. If hardware overtravel switches are used, the CNC will disable feedback and display an error message if the inputs become active. It is recommended that hardware overtravel switches be installed.

Software travel limits

If Software Overtravels are enabled, the user is prompted for the minimum and maximum travel of the cutting machine.
A software travel limit (also called a software overtravel) is a position on the axis that can be reached before the system contacts a hardware limit switch or hard stop. Figure 16 on page 86 shows measurements from an example system with a gantry that has 154 inches (3,912 mm) of travel on the Transverse axis between the overtravel switches.
The gantry travel distance of 154 inches (3,912 mm) also equals the Table Size X dimension on the Machine Setups screen (Setups > Password > Machine Setups).
For software travel limits to work correctly, the cutting system must first be homed so that the CNC can determine the absolute home position.

(76 mm) to stop motion before contact with the hardware overtravel switch.
5 Software maximum travel limit at 151 inches
(3,835 mm) to stop motion before contact with the hardware overtravel switch.
The Home parameter is used to activate use of the Home feature. Depending on configuration, the table may be Homed to either a designated Home Switch or an Overtravel Switch.
The Home feature is used to set a known absolute physical position location on the cutting table. This is used for referencing future manual Go to Home and other motion commands. This is generally performed through activation of a home switch positioned on the appropriate axis, giving it a known physical location.
Machine Stop Strategies and Table Hardware
When you enter a homing command, the CNC moves the axis toward the home switches at the Fast Home Speed until the switches activate. Once the switches activate, motion stops and then the axis moves in the opposite direction of the switch at the Slow Home Speed. The moment that the switch deactivates, the CNC resets the axis position to the absolute home position. Motion then continues for the Home Offset distance. When motion stops, the position is saved as the Home reference.
The Absolute Home Position defines the position of the axis when the Home Limit Switch
turns off or Marker Pulse is detected.
The Home Offset Distance allows the user to set an offset distance from the Home Limit
Switch.
Home Direction determines which direction the axes will travel during phase one of the
homing sequence.
The Axes Home Position is the position of the axes when homing is complete. Use Marker Pulse, when enabled, assigns the absolute home position at the instant the
marker pulse is detected. It is recommended that the Marker Pulse be used for optimal
homing repeatability.
The Dual Gantry Home switch offset value needs to change when the home switch is moved
or replaced. Phoenix aligns the Rail and Dual Gantry axis based on the old Dual Gantry
Home switch offset value. When you zero the switch offset value to measure the new switch
offset value, Phoenix returns the wrong measured value because the original switch offset
value is still being applied. There are 2 ways to fix this issue.
EDGE Connect Installation and Setup Manual 809340 87
Zero the switch offset value and shutdown and re-start Phoenix.
Zero the switch offset value, disable and re-enable the control and then measure and
enter the new switch offset value. A simple solution in Phoenix is to disable and then re-enable the axis each time the Dual Gantry Home switch offset value changes.

General recommendations

Follow these recommendations for ease of setup and best performance:
Dedicate a single drive to each axis in the cutting system. Do not mix EtherCAT CoE and SoE drives on the same EtherCAT network. Connect the axis limit switches (also called overtravel switches) to the drive I/O, not to an
inline I/O module. The drive and the CNC together provide the capabilities for the best
possible machine deceleration in the event of a machine stop.
When you choose Go to Home or attempt motion, a Ready to Move? message prompts you
to confirm that you are ready to start motion. You can disable the Ready to Move? message
in Special Setups.
