I have an issue with Hicon Integra controlling plasma cutter. Everything has been upgraded to latest versions- Integra FW. FPGA bitstream, Mach4, Hicon plugin for Mach4.

After torch ON/M3 command torch probes the material, ignites arc, gets arc ok signal. So far, as expected. However, after this XY motors do not move until I disarm system manually.

I'm seeing the following errors in logs (not sure if those are related, but it looks so:

This looks like a bug in the newest version. I just downgraded Hicon firmware and plugin to Mach4_Integra_103116.zip from October 31, 2016 and everything seems to be normal.

Hello,

Sorry for the delayed response. It was the holiday season.

Did some testing and saw the bug. I've made an upload for a Mach4 plugin fix, and a slight fix to the ArcPro screen.

Please let me know if there are any issues.
