Hi Dave,

i had the same Thing a couple of years ago, well without the self Fixing after 45 minutes.

the only Thing i noticed, when i watched my M3 macro with a HEX Editor was,
that the EOF() was directly behind the ")" of the DoSpinCW().

All i did was to put a couple of 'empty' lines (CRLF) after the DoSpinCW().

The Problem never came up again.

i really can't tel you wether it was

-coincidence
-woodoo
-or just luck.

My G540 board crashed and I’m working on getting that fixed.

when i read this, an the other "strange" things witch are Happening,
have you thought about noise , grounding , shielding ?

just a thinking.

back to the actually Problem,
sounds like a wiring Problem.

do you probably have a sketch ?

i dont think it matters with this card what the pin settings are for each axis bc they have dedicated pins on the card. see page 3

i never trust this chinese stuff

yes it does

if i look at the screenshot of this reply
step pin is 1 for all axis. that cannot be ok.

Manual says it it 2,4,6,8     X,Y,Z,A

here:
http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,35183.0.html

i found a thread, witch sounds like the same Problem.

i have read the proma Manual again, i am a Little bit stuck
at this:

"H - U" (High Voltage) - value of the off load voltage detection
in the plasma cutter - used to detect the main (cutting) arc: 50-
300V by default: 200V

Parameter.My question is what does Proma if cutting voltage is below this Parameter ?
for my understanding this Parameter should be below cutting voltage, but i don't really know.


on the Plasma Programm run Screen is a dro called Curr:
this should be zeroed after each M3 call (Torch ON) ?

what does the DOWN LED on Proma in the Situation when the torch goes into material ?

sorry that can't provide the real solution.

Thomas

may i ask you to post your Profile XML

C:\Mach3\your profilename.xml

maybe i can find something there, but i think it will be tomorrow,
it late here in Bavaria  .

i think we are Close.
