Qtplasmac Control cutting current Ampers plasma cutter was created by Plasmanfm
I have a Lorch plasma cutter with 0 to 10 V. I can adjust the cutting current Ampers.
The voltage m 190 cs voltisch transferred during by the cutting process to the voltic display.Is this possible from the material list m190 ca ˋampersˋ to Input the pwm ?
king regarde and thankˋs

Moved to "PlasmaC" section.
What card/controller are you using?
Mesa 7i96S/7i76/7i76E/7i77 should be able to do that easily.

Mesa 7i96S has a 0-10V output for controlling spindles, and if you are sure your plasma takes 0-10V control, then consider it a spindle and control it like one. Plasma uses M3 to start the torch, so adding some S value corresponding to the current in amps should do exactly that.
Set the scaling for the spindle to correspond to amps your power source can do, say for 100A you would set the scaling to 100, then issue a M3 S65 if you want to cut at 65A.

Remember 7I96S spindle output works as a digital potentiometer, so you need 10V power source conected to TB2:
Positive to TB2 pin 24
Gnd to TB2 pin 22
Then the output value will be TB2 Pin 23.
Positive to TB2 pin 24
Gnd to TB2 pin 22
Then the output value will be TB2 Pin 23.

Thanks, I understand that, but how do I get the value from the material list m190 ca into the pwm?
What do I have to write where?

The cut amps from the materials parameter appears on two hal pins:
A float pin named qtplasmac.cut_amps-f
A s32 pin named qtplasmac.cut_amps-s
A float pin named qtplasmac.cut_amps-f
A s32 pin named qtplasmac.cut_amps-s

OK, I don't understand it all yet. Is there an example for this?

If you use the spindle speed as Tommy suggests, the S command will set the amps eg S 65 = 65 amps...
You might also be able to use M67/M68
The exciting thing you could experiment with is when current velocity is less then commanded velocity, eg in a velocity anti dive situation, would be to lock the height and reduce current to keep the voltage constant. (instead of alter height to keep voltage constant)

No sure if the plasma response will be fast enoug, but for sure this would be an interesting test to do.
related to this it has been in my mind for long time if we can make a sort of plasma controller that emulate the Hyperterm modbus, then we can use the PMX485 component to talk to it, may be using a arduino.
