TP
I tried to start the torch without doing all this work but I had nothing but problems. I tried looking for setup instructions but only found bits and pieces without any clear explanation of how things are setup and what happens on the forum or in any documentation. I've spent many many hours to get these machines running and this is what I've ended up with.
If you know of any instructions on how to setup the plasma torch to startup as described above in my M4 macro I would love to hear it. The system is very simple:
1, an air cylinder to raise and lower the head, Output 3
2, a relay to turn the torch on and off, Output 1
3, a relay to turn a rotary cutter on and off, Output 2
4, a set of contacts in the torch to signal Arc OK, Input 1 /THC On
That's it, it should be simple. Instead i have had to create this monster code. It works and right now that is all I care about.
If you know of anything that describes how to set up starting up a plasma torch, I would LOVE to hear where I can find it.
