Probing

A big part of running your Plasma will include Probing to set the torch height above the material.

You can find how to connect your torch touch here:

Torch Touch (floating head) Signal

For Probing cycles G38.2 is used from within your Gcode to set your torch height.

G38.2 – Straight Probe Cycle

Jump to Line

INFORMATION:

When using the Jump to line MASSO will search backwards in the Gcode file to

locate the last M5 command and use this as it's starting line. If the line you have selected is an M5

command it will use that line. If there is no previous M5 command it will return to the start of the

Gcode file.

Torch Breakaway

The torch breakaway signal is used to stop plasma and machine axis movements if the plasma torch is hit

during a cut.

Details of the torch breakaway signal can be found here:

Torch Breakaway Signal

Torch On / Off

An input can be designated Plasma On / Off and is used to start and stop the Plasma.

You can configure any of the MASSO G3 TTL outputs as the Plasma on/off and connect it to your Plasma

via the MASSO Relay Module
