G28.1 not hunting far enough
«

Hello, I am having some issues with my plasma. The machine has a floating torch holder, it references the z axis, moves the switch offset, then moves to my set pierce height. It works as it should, except if the material warps. Example, the torch is cutting and references at a higher warped point. When the torch moves to a part that is lower, it calls the g28.1 and goes to reference the z. It hunts for the switch and doesnt go far enough down, (like a parameter is stopping it) then goes up adding for the switch offset amount and to the pierce height. Thus being way above the part. Is there a way to make it go further?
Heres a sample file.

I don't know of any parameter that would stop the G28.1 from going UNTIL it hit the switch and then back off.
Perhaps the G28.1 is stoping at the Midpoint value (Z0.12) Do you have the homed true without switches option checked by chance?
GenConfig/Mill options
Just a thought, (;-) TP

im looking in my diagnostics and at random times, the zhome light in the input section turns on and off rapidly, Maybe I have a bad cable that is shorting somehow? This is happening when I am not running a program just sitting there.
