In ports & pins, inputs, set UP, DOWN & ON respectively to the inputs you wired - ON is ARC OK signal.

Looks like you want pin12 NOT 7 as com.



Pin 12 has a wire coming from my power supply, should I just combine them in the single input?

Hm. I have it all wired up like said. In my inputs and outputs I have THC ON , with port 1, input 3
THC UP is on, port 1, pin 1, THC DOWN is on, port 1, pin 2. Allow thc is on in mill options, no movement in test.

Hi,
those signals are inputs to Mach. Therefore you can only use the designated input pins of the parallel port, pins 10-13 and pin 15.

i think you are talking about PROMA THC.

on the PROMA Homepage:

http://proma-elektronika.com/index.php/en/products/thc-torch-height-control/compact-thc-150

are wiring digramms and Videos avalaiable as well.

i would start with tis stuff.

sorry that i repeat me.
wirring and configuration is all shown, on that link i have posted on page 1 of this thread.
anything is possible, just try to do it.
if you find some mistakes, in my bad bavarian english,they are yours.

Hi,
on the Machine Diagnostics page do your new limit switches light up when you activate them by hand?

These are not "limit' switches - they are just inputs to Mach via the BOB, they should show in diagnostics - do they??

With Proma in test mode, the Up/Down inputs in diagnostics should be flashing
