Is there a reason (location?) why you are using half the relays on two boards rather than 3 on one board?

I would not use that type of relays for ohmic or anything to do with plasma torch, chances of arcing over are huge.
Big DIN rail mounted relays are much safer.

Maybe you are right. But i think or hope it will work for the a simple test run.
Later i can change it with other relay.
But again, about the wiring? Is this the right way?
I will try it.

Hi all,
i wired it up and want to test the config. When i start plasmac the THC Enable LED is green and Ohmic Probe is yellow. When i touch the torch with the table the yellow LED turns grey. I think this is not how it should work?
Any ideas?
thanks
Giuseppe

You probably need to invert the hal input input pin by changing it to "in-not"

Try changing:to:
net din-001 parport.0.pin-11-in => debounce.0.2.in
net din-001 parport.0.pin-11-in-not => debounce.0.2.in
