Synchronous with motion macros for stand alone THC.

[ErikMc]

Ok great thanks a lot for clearing that up!! Yes I have the 1.2049 and got it to work with the m10/m11. I will try out the developement ver. I am intrested in the m10.1/m11.1 as my sheetcam puts my thc off in front of the m03. I noticed the thc freeze did not come on during thos instances. In the new version will the m10.1 be on the same configure page? Thanks a lot for your help!! Just a newb with newb probloms hahaha

Please Look on this as on the example of the cutting program.
M10.1/M11.1 used for Plasma Start
M10.2/M11.2 used for Automatic disable/Corner

And use this macro from Dezsoe for disable Plasma start output pin on program stop.

my sheetcam puts my thc off in front of the m03.

Erik,

could you tell me what post processor you are using in Sheetcam.

Click on Options / Machine then a "Machine options" box will pop up.

Click on the Post processor tab and the following will be displayed:

Keith.

[ErikMc]

It’s a post processor that Les made for me. I downloaded the development uccnc and the m10.1 to freeze the thc works great!!! Thanks for the help.

[beefy]

Erik,

would you be kind enough to upload a copy of your post processor here.

My post processor does NOT put path rule code snippets before M3. There are at least myself and one other guy that would like to have our code snippets put before M3, and it seems like your post processor does that.

Keith.

+1 Would appreciate seeing a fully working M10/11.x post for sheetcam if possible!

I've just started using Sheetcam, and if I put a M205/206 in to stop THC it doesn't work because the default Post does an M205 before M3. If I take the M205 out, M3 just starts without referencing the height.

Buying another software package = more stuff to learn

Thanks,
Andrew

Footnote: I spoke to Andrew and he advised that the Neuron Lite cannot do M10.1/M11.1 for synchronous Torch On/Off.

If anyone is looking at his sample GCODE which includes the M10.1/M11.1 it would be for the Neuron Pro unit.

Are you talking about the sample code Andrew posted Sat Jun 22, 2019 4:50 am in this thread ??

That code give no example of synchronous torch on/off. Synchronous torch on/off is where the torch is turned on/off during XY motion, without any pause in the motion. So basically you would have M10.1 / M11.1 during a set of XY moves. That is not the case with that sample code, where M10.1 comes immediately after M3, and M11.1 comes just before M5. No synchronous torch on/off at all there.

Anyway, trying to find more info, I went to Andrews website, hunting for more info on the Professional version of his THC. I clicked on the user manual download button but all it downloaded was the manual for the Neuron Lite, and no sign of UCCNC M10.1 / M11.1 synchronous torch on/off commands. I asked Andrew a long time ago to update the manual for the Neuron Lite, got to be 2 years ago now, and not only has it never been updated, but it also appears the Professional THC user guide link simply takes you to the Neuron Lite manual, which is still very outdated.

Andrews systems seem OK, once you figure them out, but documentation still very lacking viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1684

The Neuron forum was shut down, and now even comments seem disabled on the website product page. At the bottom of the Professional THC page:
Comments & Feedback
Comments (0)
This thread has been closed from taking new comments.

So basically you are looking at the supplied user guide and direct email for support.

Guys, you are right.
Neuron Lite THC have not a START/STOP hardware inut for this.
Only Professional version have a hardware interface for START/STOP.
This version is usually sold in the domestic market, so the user manual for this are only in Russian.
Only this manufacturer use the Neuron Professional THC and use fast torch off. http://crplasmaireland.ie/
To be precise, the settings of both controllers are the same, so the instructions for the Neuron Lite controller fully describe the operation of the system.
New User Manual for the Neuron Lite THC and UCCNC available on this link
