I just add the RS-485 board to my Hypertherm 45XP and got a USB/RS-485 cable for the PC.

SheetCAM just doesn't give me the tools that I need so I was thinking ProNest or something similar. I do a lot of holes that need to be bolt ready so Hypertherm's True Hole is high on my list of "wants."

Now, the noob questions;

Is there a standard setup for the inputs and output I should follow in Mach4 with ModBus + Hypertherm RS-485?

I assume there will be a post processor for the Hypertherm software and a bunch of Mcodes that will be implemented. Has anyone else used Mach4 + ProNest (either LT or pro)?

Thanks for the help!
