I have a dmm break out board with an ess board, how would I connect this device to that board

[@rchobbiesguanajuato5231]

hello, I am interested in buying the same breakout board, but I have a question, can you explain to me why in your plasma you place an electric cable at the tip of the plasma torch? Thank you
hola, me interesa comprar la misma placa break out, pero tengo una duda, me puedes explicar porque en tu plasma colocas un cable electrico en la punta de la antorcha plasma?? gracias

That cable is used for the Touch Sensor. It touches the plate to determine the height at which the plate is. It is connected to the PTS-1: www.cnc4pc.com/plasma-touch-sensor.html

I dont do social media and still havnt got Instagram to contact you but can you help me please. I've got my torch set on on a floating head with a limit switch so when the torch lowers it triggers the switch but what pin/setting in mach 3 do I have to have the switch so when the torch lowers and triggers the limit switch I can adjust the hight the torch rises back up before a was making a cut? Thanks

How do you like the plasma sense out?

[@marjanvannoordenburg9585]

The read out on plasma sense is 2 volt is that what you mean?

[@cnc4pc21]

The Plasmaseseout puts our open collector discrete signals. Make sure you measure this against the voltage that is powering the unit.

im building table as well with pokey 57 with thc plasma sense the problem im running in to is if i do test run it arc but it wont read out the voltage would you have any idea why this is ? im using mach 3 as well any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

[@cnc4pc21]

So you lose the unit as soon as the arc starts? I would think you could have a grounding or shielding issue. These units are very sensitive to noise. You can open a Ticket with PoLabs by emailing: [e-mail]. They should be able to help you.

@@cnc4pc21 if i do the test plasma goes on and when it stop you will see a little spike about 2volt and then its gone i contact pokey this is what they want me to do move the plasma sense far a way prom the pokey use shielded cable for plasma voltage and shorten the 10 pin cable with the red connectors from pokey and plasma sense adapter . is it possible that there is a setting wrong in mach 3?
thanks for the really fast response

[@marjanvannoordenburg9585]

hello i got a reading now ground the table more and moved the plasma sense closer to the cutter but now i dont get a ack ok signal do you know what that can be thanks Robert

[@cnc4pc21]

@@marjanvannoordenburg9585 Can you measure the signal at the terminals?

[@franciscovallaperde4489]

friend, I have a doubt, this THC also controls the on and off of the torch automatically. I'm a beginner.

[@cnc4pc21]

The Torch ON/OFF is controlled by a relay from the breakout board.

[@debodevil6974]

How can i contact you. I'm willing to pay to ask a few questions over the phone or email? Thanks
