I can see some plasma machines have serial interface also ( http://forum.robotsinarchitecture.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=232.0;attach=335). Also found this thread - https://forum.linuxcnc.org/forum/27-driver-boards/21445-rs-485-with-7i76. Is serial plasma control over "plasma/serial"

Hi, I recently bought a Plasma Cutter and built a CNC router and now I want to add a Torch Height Control to it. I found these models, does anyone have experience with them or experience with other THC systems? http://www.ebay.de/itm/172288076009 http://www.ebay.de/itm/262439946439

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
