The THC voltage is raw cutting voltage. a THCAD can use this with the right scaling resistors. I would expect there are some resistors between these terminals and the cutting terminals to avoid lethal current! Check with a multimeter.

here the thcad manual is your friend. 200 V full scale will be best but 300v is also Ok

Its here, just add a negative sign, minus-sign, like below
 refClockSyncCycles="-5">
 

 Is synchronisation something that has to be set up on the PI or is it configured within the .xml file ?

So im trying to understand how to fix this operation. im use to mach3's behavior of soft limits. mach3 keeps the machine coordinates and my part offset, so if i shut down and fire it right back up, i can move the the extents of the soft limits, it slows the stepper shortly before reaching the soft limit and slows it down in speed slower until it hits the limit.

Currently in LCNC, unless i home all first, there is no soft limit, only the hard limit switch i have one side. ignore limits is not selected in the gmoccapy gui. programmed hard limits work on both sides after homing.

I would like it to atleast use the soft limits without having to home first; if i can get the steppers to slow as the limit is reached that would be a bonus. thanks in advance! space waves

I’ve noticed the same difference between Mach3 and LCNC. A soft-limit slowdown before homing would be super useful.

I can assist you remotely

Show ethercat-conf.xml, please.
You probably need to add synchronization with DC clock.

Current Setup:

• Raspberry Pi 5
  • 3 × Leadshine EL8 Servo Drives and 400W Motors
    
    Problem:
    I’ve recently set up LinuxCNC on a Raspberry Pi 5 and configured it to use the Probe Basic user interface.I’m experiencing an issue where the servo drives occasionally disconnect. The main symptom is that the motors sometimes make a “clonking” sound while running, as if there’s a mechanical fault and judder under movement . Power-cycling the system (turning it off and back on) sometimes clears the issue, and the motors then run normally.
    Could this problem be caused by poor latency on the Raspberry Pi 5, or possibly by the EtherCAT network going out of sync?Any advice or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    
    

LCNC 2.9.6
tool_touch_0ff 6.0.0
ProbeBasic neuste Version

Werzeugtab nur 1 Werkzeug neu angelegt
tool_touch_0ff ich habe es auch mit der Version 0.3 Von Cris und Dir

Happy to hear that!
And to get feedback that the dkms driver really helps.

I haven't had a chance, honestly I don't think I could justify one ATM. The old tech budget has taken a beating already this year.
The Intel NICs sounds like a good idea.

If it's this one www.stahlwerk-schweissgeraete.de/plasmas...t70-pilotzuendung-en 
I would look at one that doesn't use HF start. You don't want HF start in cnc table.
Generally, blowback start is what you want.

I got pretty reasonable results on the RPi5 even with Wayland and LXDE.
Enough that software step generation might be an option for a mill. I was surprised by that.
I've had to go back to the basics with pi-gen, was having issues with it deciding to switch from the graphical target to multiuser.
I've got a bunch of images to test, so stay tuned.
But I think once this is nailed it will be easier to get reproducible results. You've convinced me regarding the kernels. So much easier. Thanks

Ok cool, git gets a bit over my head. I ain't real smart, but I used to lift heavy things .

Hi,I'm currently on my journey to build a CNC Plasma Cutter. For the plasma source I'm looking into the Stahlwerk Line-Up of Plasma Cutters (Cut70 or Cut100). All Stahlwerk Cutters have a build in THC Connector. What I can't figure out is if this connector is already divided. Or if an external divider circuit is needed. The Manual just says that it is used to connect the cutter to a CNC controller. Does anyone have detailed information? Or own such a device at has already checked the voltage levels? Greetings
