The manufacturers say very little (but I'm sure you knew that
) This is simply a voltage comparator THC, it outputs three signals - up, down and arc ok, there are no inputs apart from torch voltage.
By the way Mach is working with it, I am guessing that the up and down signals will affect the z-axis regardless of THC on or off settings. I am not using arc-ok as I have no more inputs on my board.
I can see the z motor turning slightly as it cuts when the THC button in mach is off, if I turn this on, the torch will pierce but then do nothing presumably as it is waiting for arc-ok?
The only way I can see to use the arc ok signal is to move the e-stop button to the limit inputs, I think that will do a similar job, then I can use the unused e-stop input for arc-ok.
