Description

Used to smelt a variety of ores into their ingot form to be used in crafting.

Used to create

Each ore requires a different wattage to smelt. The current values as of 2017-12-28 are as follows

Arc Furnace Output	Wattage Required	Time to Smelt One Ore	Gas Byproduct
Silicon Ingot	100W	3 seconds	N2 33% / CO2 33% / X 33% / O2 0%
Iron Ingot	200W	1 second	N2 0% / CO2 20% / X 80% / O2 0%
Copper Ingot	500W	3 seconds	N2 0% / CO2 0% / X 0% / O2 0%
Lead Ingot	1000W	5 seconds	N2 31% / CO2 3% / X 63% / O2 3%
Nickel Ingot	1000W	5 seconds	N2 20% / CO2 40% / X 40% / O2 0%
Silver Ingot	1000W	5 seconds	N2 17% / CO2 42% / X 42% / O2 0%
Gold Ingot	2000W	6 Seconds	N2 17% / CO2 7% / X 69% / O2 7%

Logic Properties

These are all logic properties of this device.

Logic Parameters

These are all parameters, that can be written to with a Logic Writer or a Batch Writer. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Writer's "VAR" setting cycles through them.

Parameter Name	Data Type	Description
Activate	Boolean	Activates the furnace, when set to 1. Deactivates it, when set to 0. Note: Deactivating the furnace currently has a bug. (See #Bugs)
Lock	Boolean	Locks the Arc Furnace, when set to 1. Unlocks it, when set to 0.
On	Boolean	Turns the Arc Furnace on, when set to 1. Turns it off, when set to 0.

Logic Outputs

These are all parameters, that can be read with a Logic Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Logic Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them.

Output Name	Data Type	Description
Power	Boolean	Returns whether the Arc Furnace is turned on. (0 is off, 1 is on) (Identical to "On" output. This might be intended to output whether the furnace is receiving power or not.)
Error	Boolean	Returns whether the Arc Furnace is flashing an error. (0 is no error, 1 is flashing an error)
Activate	Boolean	Returns whether the Arc Furnace is activated. (0 is deactivated, 1 is activated)
Lock	Boolean	Returns whether the Arc Furnace is locked. (0 is not locked, 1 is locked)
Reagents	(Unknown)	(Unknown)
On	Boolean	Returns whether the Arc Furnace is turned on. (0 is off, 1 is on)
ImportQuantity	Integer	Returns the size of the current stack inside the Arc Furnace's input slot. It is updated, when the furnace is smelting.
ImportSlotOccupant	Boolean	Returns whether the import slot holds an item. (0 if not, 1 if it holds an item)
ExportQuantity	(Unknown)	(Unknown)
ExportSlotOccupant	Boolean	Returns whether the export slot currently holds an item. (0 if not, 1 if it holds an item) This only turns to 1 for a short moment after smelting is finished, before the smelted bar is dropped out.
RequiredPower	Integer	Returns the current amount of power, required by the Arc Furnace, in Watts. Note: This output currently has a bug. (See #Bugs)
Idle	Boolean	Returns whether the Arc Furnace is currently idle. This is the negation of the "Activate" output. (0 is not idle, 1 is idle)

Bugs

• Deactivating the Arc Furnace via it's "Activate" logic parameter causes the visual smelting effects to turn off, the input slot to open, but the smelting to still continue. Once the item in the input slot is used up, the smelting result is still dropped from the output. Taking out the item in that state, causes the "smelting" to be stopped and the already smelted amount to be dropped from the output. While in the false "smelting" state, the "Activate" output is 0.
• The "RequiredPower" output does not update while smelting. It only returns 5 when on, and 0 otherwise.
