Very useful video, thank you. I’m not using a controller like yours, I’m converting a laser cutter. I’ve got the relay working with the laser, as in turning on and off when it should. Do I just need to bridge the 2 wires coming from the plasma trigger, and connect them to the normally off circuit on the relay?

I've got a MKS DLC V2.1 card and I have hooked it up to my homemade desktop CNC machine which I plan to use to run a plasma torch. I'm completely new to all of the CNC building and breakout board business so forgive me if my question comes off as somewhat of a obvious or a newbie type request. I'm running open builds control to send the information to the board and from the bored I'm going to tb6600 drivers. Those drivers are sending their signal and power to 3 nema 17 motors controlling x y and z. Everything is functioning great except when I try to run the program I get a error stating the z axis probe is not in the expected state. I've been told this is because I have set my parameters to require a touch off operation but I have no sensors on the table yet. No probe switches and no end stops. This all makes sense to me but I'm wondering if all I need to do is hook up a z stop or z probe to get past the error code that stops the machine when I'm trying to do a dry run. Any advice is greatly appreciated. When I attempt to run tha G-Code the Gantry moves to the first cup position and the z axis goes upward, then it returns the error code. I'm guessing this is because the z axis does not know where it's at. So do I hook up a switch to the probe connector on the board or the z axis and stop? When I created the G-Code in open builds design I did tell the z-axis to go to a safe height of 10 mm. But I didn't tell her anything more than that. I just figured if I zeroed all the axis before starting it would just automatically go up 10 mm and then drop down to my cut height and begin following the toolpath pattern. I'm going to check out some more of your videos and subscribe. Thanks.

Hi there if you are telling the CNC it needs to touch off before it retracts to the starting cut depth it will wait for the limit switch to be triggered before it continues and after some time with give an error. you need to make it that you not using a touch probe input before it starts cutting. that would be in your settings - THC turn that off and try run the program that should tell the software the the THC is not present or being used

I like simple, I have a magnetically mounted torch hold with the spring loaded touch off. I am using an electronic connection for touch off, grounding the piece and the tip is the other connection.

Hi There, the way it works is by measuring the voltage of the plasma arc and when the arc voltage changes the z axis compensates for it by either moving the plasma up and or down. I have a hypertherm which has a CNC plug out which is connected to the controller this is how I know what the plasma arc voltage is.

The last 2 pins are a bit of a mystery to me, arc ok ?? Do you know what i'd use to make that what you have work? I don't know how to finish it off, can't seem to find help.

They are at POSITION 5 and POSITION 6 respectively on the terminal block. These outputs may be used to drive relay coils or for any other purpose. The outputs are rated at 1A and 50VDC maximum. Connect one end of the load to the output and connect the other end of the load to a positive DC voltage. This voltage may be the G540 power supply or it may be a separate power supply having a different voltage.
