New Project with Mesa 7I96 and THCAD-05

So I rebuilt and started all over and finally got it. Me changing the stepper scale on the ini files was not working so started all over and did it correct and finally got it thanks Phill. I have a question so how does the thcad work as far imputing the voltage? Do I put the voltage that my manual says intro he config panel for the material I am cutting or am I putting another voltage since I am getting divided voltage out of my plasma?

If you enable "Use Auto Volts" it will use the voltage measured itself after getting up to speed. This way the Cut Volts are not used at all. You do need to ensure that you probed height is correct.

I you do want to use Cut Volts then you need to ensure that the voltage displayed in the GUI is correct and also that your Cut Volts for each material is correct.

Use Auto Volts is generally easier and very consistant.

Got it hopefully today or tomorrow I can start making some test cuts. I will try that

Ok I hooked up my machine and hooked up my interface cable as well and I started up the GUI and my arc ok lights is blinking on the bottom. Any reason why? I already switched the cables on my wiring to input to Mesa I flipped the polarity. Do I need to invert the input?

I just noticed that when I remove my ground clamp from table the arc ok led stops blinking. Not sure what that can be.

You got something wrong. ArcOK is on pins 12 & 14. Connect one of those pins to +24V field power and the other to an input pin for ArcOK. Use Plasmac mode 1.
