On the Proma, the first and second settings should be set at minimum, i do not recall what was the third and forth settings.
Only after having this work you can set voltage higher if it wobbles a lot while cutting.

hi,
The Z axis DRO will not move in spite of the following in Raspi 4/5:
a. torch on
b. THC enabled setting
c. HALSHOW is showing move up and even.
d. After trying the changed settings mentioned previously on proma.
e. Mode is 2 for the external THC
Please help as I have been trying to do the same for few weeks now and let me know if any settings need to be added in the HAL or ini.
# ---JOINT ASSOCIATED WITH THE Z AXIS---
net plasmac:axis-position joint.3.pos-fb => plasmac.axis-z-position

Does the machine reach the requested speed while cutting?
If it does not, it will not turn height control on.
What are the settings on the Parameters page?
Set the VAD to 60% first and try again.

hi
Machine reaches the requested speed while cutting. 1000
I have all the default settings on the Parameters Page.
Tried with VAD 60%. still does not work.
Also M3 $0 S1 does not work.

Thanks for your reply.
Please find attached my back up config.
Also I do not want G53 in my code when I load any .ngc file. Please help as I do not wish to install limit switches to my system. I want to use G31 instead before the cut starts with THC.
