Mach Screens / Re: Mach 3 Main screen Diagnostics
« on: February 23, 2015, 02:22:07 PM »
No One ever responded, It has been so long that I gave up as My Health has went down hill and looking to sell the whole system, I built a nice table and was getting the electronics all wired with Limit Switches and THC added. Then I come down with Metastatic Bone Cancer.

This is a 4x4 Viper Plasma System with a Gecko G540 set-up. Have a Brand New Hypertherm Powermax 80 that has only cut about 15 minutes of hand torch Aluminum stuff for my Son since I bought it, Have a Brand New Machine Torch for it also, Never been fired.

General Mach Discussion / Re: help

HI Guy's,
My name is Dave in Wentzville, Mo. USA. I am 63, an old retired/disability engineer (telephone) and been playing with a 4x4 CNC Plasma Cutter set-up I bought off E-Bay and it was Supposed to be READY TO RUN. Well I can't get any help from the S*B I bought it from. I don't know a lot about this stuff but have run a Water Jet (CALYPSO HAMMERHEAD) and have some Idea of what goes on. My problems are with the Mach3, The computer that came with the Plasma set-up was a Refurb Unit and it does not boot up right all the time and I lost all of the Settings that was in Mach before I could figure out what all needed to be saved. Like I said before I can't get any help out of the Jerk I bought it from. I have a Dell Optiplex GX620 that I was going to try and build up as a good computer as the Lenovo that came with the plasma is Junk. When I load all of the PINOUT INFORMATION and add the Torch Hieght Controls I don't get the First 3 Port PINOUT State lights to light up like they do on the Lenovo. I don't understand all of this stuff and have went through the Manual page by page to set-up things and I have the computer set as ECP I think is what Mach wanted the BIOS set at. After I get that part figured out WITH SOMEONES HELP, I need to move on to the Table Limits set-up as I have added Home/Limit switches and got them to work, But can not get a PROGRAM TO RUN. HELP PLEASE, I have fought this for 5-6 month's now and would just like to get it working. I can be called anytime as I am on Disability and home all the time at 636-262-4260. THANKS GUY'S, I know there is someone out there that can get me going. A call is better than the Forum as I don't know how to navigate through them either.

Mach Screens / Mach 3 Main screen Diagnostics
« on: December 03, 2012, 09:20:51 PM »
I need some help, I had a computer (Lenovo) that had my Mach 3 for a Plasma Cutter on it and there was something wrong with the Computer that it would not Boot up right all the time. So i got a Dell and COPIED My WHOLE PROGRAM off the Lenovo onto the Dell. When I went to check all the settings I found in the Diagnostics Screen that PINS 1,2 and 3 were not lit up on the INPUT LINE. I checked all of the Pin and Port settings and they are the same on both computers, But the Dell does not show them as ACTIVE??. Can anyone tell me what is not set up right. I basically GHOSTED the whole program and it runs my Home/Limit fine but they are not lite up as active . Thanks for any help.
