Troubleshooting
Most error messages can be viewed in the history log of Mach4 and can indicate problems with the
configuration or the runtime operation.
The system disarms on the “TorchON” (or M3) command
Cause
Solution
One of the THC settings may be bad.
Review the THC settings on the ArcPro screen and make
sure that the [THC Up], [THC Down], and [THC On] are all
enabled and mapped to digital inputs on the Integra.
The [ArcOK] or [DIGITIZE] signal is
currently active.
Check the Mach4 Input signal mapping, and make sure
that the polarities (Active Low/High), are set to the
correct values. Inspect the wiring and make sure that the
THC LEDs on the Arc Pro screen toggle properly.
The controller was busy executing another
motion sequence.
In most scenarios, this error shouldn’t occur. Check the
GCode File or MDI command being executed before the
TorchON/M3 command.
The probe move reached the indicated
limit without detecting the digitize signal.
Check that the [Digitize] signal in Mach4 is mapped to the
correct digital input, and that the [Digitize] signal toggles
correctly by checking the signal state in the diagnostic tab
on the Mach4 screen.
The THC feature is currently not activated
on the unit.
Please contact the vendor of your unit, or Vital System
Inc.
NOTE: It is also recommended to go through the
wiring diagram
for safely connecting the digitize
sensor to the HiCON Integra.
NOTE: Please follow the proper setup instructions for wiring, Mach4 configuration, and the setting
the on-screen THC parameters before attempting any tests.
