The timing problems are probably due to combining a ebay no-name torch with a aliexpress no-name inverter, and then unplugging the HF start from the inverter as it caused too much interference. But it runs good enough for our use when the torch gets its needed recovery time between starts.
I'll consider modifying the post, but I'll also take a look at the plasmac component to see if I can tweak it to do it like our MACH3 M3 macro does.

Main thing is that MACH3 seems to have some problems blending moves together.
Our table is multi function and currently it is setup with a LED laser cutter head and at the speeds needed for that we could better see the lack of blending.

The second part is that it would be nice to have all the cut-recover features from plasmac.

debug is described in the hm2_modbus manual page.

Yes the second work perfect but when i want to add W_REGISTERS more then 2 byte i get hm2_modbus.0: error: Build data frame failed in write_flush for command 15, disabling

Idont know how to use debug

Agreed, OP all you need to do is do a find/replace for m3 and replace it with g4 p15000 m3 (15 sec in millisecond)

G4 and m3 may need to be on different lines.

If that works then edit your post to include that.

This is different from your first example:

<command device="mrje70a" function="W_REGISTERS" address="0x6099" >
<pin name= "hnumentries" modbustype="U_ABCD" haltype="HAL_U32" resend="1"/>

Do you have the same error?

Have you tried setting hm2_modbus's debug value to get a more detailed error? 

The loaded tool impacts the feed rate?

It will prompt later in the flow to load the correct tool. Based on the settings.

Why does it say 0 feed rate?

Lastly, how do I tell what version of PB I have installed?

This is my complete code

as you see when i m using W_REGISTERS white registers 2 bytes (U_AB) it s work but i dont know how to us it with registers have 4 bytes or more
