Hello! I have to propose a solution to control a plasma table that has THC-300. I have been searching for some useful information: I found these schematics: http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=emc2.git;a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=configs/plasma-thc/thc300.odg Honestly, I somehow do not understand, why is all that necessary.
In this thread http://www.linuxcnc.org/component/option,com_kunena/Itemid,20/func,view/id,9070/catid,10/limit,6/limitstart,0/lang,english/ I found that John Thornton wrote a thcud.comp component - much simplier and easier to understand. I have a question: If THC-300 send out ARC OK signal, would it make sense connecting it to motion.spindle-at-speed pin? What I would like to get is: M3 command turns on the torch and EMC waits, until arc is closed and then starts movement. I know that it can be done with subroutines or M1xx commands or simply by using M66 command, but I would like it to be set up in a nice fashion. Since I am convinced this already has been done, there is no need to reinvent the wheel... Plasma table owners, could You, please, share Your solutions or insights for this? I would especially appreciate any tips/advices about THC300. Thanks in advance!
