Hi, Luis

Pin 1 is an output pin, You can use it to turn on your plasma cutter, Ports&Pins, Output Signals, Output#2, ("Check" Port#1, Pin #1, set Act/Low/High as Needed).

M3 will turn it on, M5 will turn it off, Need to use a small 5 volt relay(reed, miniature or Best a solid state relay}.

Hope this Helps, Chip

Ok, then I conect a wire to the pin #1, its only one wire? any other to ground or not? check disable spindle relays or uncheck? M3 and M5 in engine config relay control?
 Certainly it helps... a lot, I have been all day looking for this...
 Thanks
