I have a Proma compact THC & Hypertherm Powermax 45 that I am using with Mach5. I got things wired up and largely working. For the power source to the HTC, I cut up an old cellphone charger and wired into a powerstrip.

When I run the THC's test mode, mach5 faults and triggers e-stop. My guess here is that I need to get power, not from a separate source, but one that pull directly from the hypertherm. If that is true, can someone share a diagram, photo or simple instruction on what port or pins are available inside of the torch that I can connect to?

Also let me know if this sounds super crazy. Or if I am way off base.

There is no auxiliary power in a Powermax45. I suggest you follow the wiring suggested provided by Proma THC.

You are supposed to use an external power supply for Proma THC, and i would venture to say that your input pins are not set corectly.
Also, Mach5 ?????!!!!!!!! I am not aware that ir exists even in beta.

Do some pictures of your wiring and your pin setup in mach3, it will work, don't worry.
