PlasmaC torch starting problem (Solved with help from the famous three)

You would need to change PlasmaC to mode 1 in the in file and you would need to enable the following in your connections.hal file.Code:#net plasmac:arc-ok-in ***YOUR_PLASMA_ARC_OK*** => plasmac.arc-ok-in
Is this the correct file: plasma_machine_connections.hal I don't see any arc-ok-in

It wouldn't be in your original file because you had mode 0. You can just add the line in and put in your 7i96 pin that you connect the signal to.

I have changed the ini file with the mode from 0 to 1
.
I have made the coil with a reed switch in the plasma ground lead and it seems to stop closed when cutting
Q. Is this switch going to trigger the original relay. Or is it going to be connected to another input on the 7i96 ?
.
Is this the line I need to change net plasmac:torch-on => hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-00
.
Is this correct:-
net plasmac:arc-ok-in hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-00 => plasmac.arc-ok-in
.
You would need to change PlasmaC to mode 1 in the in file and you would need to enable the following in your connections.hal file.
#net plasmac:arc-ok-in ***YOUR_PLASMA_ARC_OK*** => plasmac.arc-ok-in

Well a very big thanks to all that have helped me with this problem Ie. Tom, Rod and the star Phil

The reed switch works as Tom predicted. photos.app.goo.gl/btkxisYHNujgkM1N6
The part is about 1mm over size so that could be a kerf param. greater of smaller ?
I think this topic can be marked as solved :woohoo:
.
Edit: Phil will using this method effect the THC ?

Ha. yes the piece was just a test cut and I want to measure the hole. so no reason apart from the extra cut.
Re the over size and under size is that a kerf param?. to change. the gantry travels the correct distance over 1200mm
