Setting up a plasma cutter and looking for some help.

Ok. FINALLY!!! Got to the point where I am running the plasmac configurator.

I am confused by one thing though. It lists Ohmic probe enable HAL pin as bit in and Ohmic probe HAL pin as bit out. However I was under the impression from the ohmic probe diagram that it was the other way around and the enable should be an output and the ohmic probe should be an input.

1drv.ms/u/s!Anw0aD8CF6Z_huJmsRidTnIu4XHoGQ?e=A9hV0b is a sreenshot.

I think that is written from Plasmac's perspective where it needs in input to receive your output

Well I gave it what is asked for and it crashed on start up. Swapped the 2 pins in the connections file and it now loads.* But hitting ohmic test does nothing. No movement or anything. (Hitting probe test does but as I don't have a float switch it just pushes into the table.)

Got the breakaway working. Ended up using a not instead cause I was not understanding your code at the time although I am fairly sure I know where I messed up and could make it work now. but its working so im not gonna mess with it.
1drv.ms/u/s!Anw0aD8CF6Z_huJsgwNfyZmV8594Gg?e=RgZjNG is my files. Maybe y'all can see why my ohmic refuses to do anything.

*90% sure thats true. Small chance the error was for the messed up encoder but I think I had that error after the pin swap. (Got the encoder fixed other than the fact I need to get it reading volts rather than freq but I assume thats in the setup instructions somewhere.) But the power is off to the machine now so ill have to check in the morning.

Do you have Ohmic Probe Enable checked on the Run Panel?

HaHA, so it does. That just goes to show that not too many folk take notice of what is in front of them.
I will fix that...

In my other reply I should have said that Ohmic Test does not cause any motion, all it does is turn on Ohmic Enable and test if the is a signal on Ohmic Probe.

That makes sense. I will give it a check tomorrow.

As for paying attention to that part it has been one of the bigger headaches of this ordeal. For being an electronics tech and doing this sort of stuff for 10+ years now wiring stuff like this up is still not all that mentally easy.

At some point i will post a video of what all I have done on this for y'all to laugh at. Gotta get it working first though.

1drv.ms/u/s!Anw0aD8CF6Z_huJutaFU_u7f0dOkLw?e=JLSKH3 Incase y'all are interested this is my breakaway/home switch. Ill glue it later but for now magnets work well enough for testing. It comes out of the slot switch for just a little bit to allow it to home at the very top of the travel but stays in it the rest of the time so as to be a breakaway switch. (Just realized this might not work as planned. Hopefully the plasma arc does not trigger it.)
