Hi John EMC expects to get four signals, ArcOK, MoveUP or MoveDown and "Height Probe" Height Probe is used to set the initial pierce height (you don't have any voltage signal at that point) ArcOK is used to make sure that the torch is firing. MoveUP and MoveDown are used to move the torch respe

Jarl, Thanks for the info. Am I correct in assuming that from the hardware end using your plasma-thc that I only need to supply a raise or lower to EMC to make it work? My current thoughts are to use a voltage divider from the plasma voltage out pins to reduce the voltage to a 0 to 10vdc range an
