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

I can fire plasma and manually jog, THC runs great. But when I run gcdoe, it dives into material

can you pls post your GCode , maybe something is wrong there.

Torch/code freezes after M03....


That is correct behaviour - the the torch is firing on the M03 signal BUT mach3 is NOT seeing an Arc-Ok signal so it will NOT move at all.

The Proma is either not sending or not seeing the arc-ok.

As a test, go ports&pins and disable Arc-Ok IIRC this should let it move without seeing the signal.

he did this allready see one or two sides before

one more idea:

pls doublecheck that the port and pin you have configured is nowhere else used in Input configuration.

i have tested this Little GCode:

F50
S0
G1 X0 Y0
M3
G1 X10 Y0

here:

i have two situations tested

1. run Programm without THC ON Signal -> machine waits after M3 until THC ON is high.
2. run Programm with THC ON allready high -> Machine start's M3 immediately (after CW Delay Spin Up time)

so i am a little bit out off ideas now.

BTW Config ->Ports&Pins -> Spindle Setup -> Special Option's are all disabled ?

ok your M3 macro is Standard, should be no Problem.

what are your Settings in

Config -> Ports&Pins -> Spindle Setup ->CW Delay Spin Up ?
