How to connect Hypertherm PMX 65

with CNC cutting machine

1 When CNC cutting machine is equipped with automatic THC, 6 wires of the
cable need to be connected between the CNC cutting machine and the plasma
power source.

DIV ARC+

Input

Receive the signal of raw arc

voltage from plasma. Can receive
the arc voltage from 50VDC to

DIV ARC-

300VDC.
DIV FINISH

Input

Normal open: dry contact closure;

Receive the signal of OK TO
MOVE from plasma; it is the
signal sent by plasma source to

machine,

to

give

the

feedback that the torch is well

ignited and ready to move.

Note
1. The portable CNC cutting machine must be well grounded separately and the
grounding resistance should be less than 3.
2. The arc voltage of the plasma shall be processed by the secondary rectification,
normally, its value should be 50VDC~300VDC.
3. Any false connection by user may cause machine itself damage or even cause
injury to persons.
4. Any damage to the machine due to users false connection shall not be included
in its warranty. Any injury to persons due to users false connection shall not be
the responsibility of our side.
