PlasmaC Fiber laser 1Kw head height control + auto focuas

Perhaps the focus motor is an axis that is controlled by a hal component which in turn applies an external offset to that axis so no gcode is required. So again similar to Plasmac.

yes and i want to link it to plasmac material control

i want to use plasmac material control to adjust the height of head, focas. and piering highet so operator can choose the material and all setting adjusted based on that,, also gas pressure

also whats the best way to change the rs485 protocol to use same as laser source and i have the protocol for this from laser manufacturer

all the Plasmac RS485 stuff is in here, it is Modbus ASCII @ 19200

okey i have some updates,

i used the capacitance to 0-10 converter. and its connected to THCAD10 and from THCad ---->7i96
probe is fixed


i configure the focus as an axis, and i will control it with external offset for piercing i have specific focus value and another one for focus
also i have the protocol for the laser on RS232,,, i can choose the frequency and the power of the laser ( change them according to my need) cut or engrave

1.i want to link the rs232 to control the laser power.. what hal pin represent this in plasmac and how can i do it to control the power
2.i want to make vitrual insturment dashboard for the laser source,, whats the best method to do this ( i m using buster debian )
