Dry run works, but active just Pierces.

    So I just updated my very old setup on my torchmate 3 with hypertherm 600 to run with the Accumove 3 and avfc. I had a small issue getting my computer to talk to the accumove, but figured that out to be a typo with the ip address, my bad.I got it running and it cut out a few marquee lights I needed done and then I have not used it for a few weeks. After needing it for another job it started cutting fine, but I must not have tightened the set screw tight enough and the x axis moved a little so I stopped the cut and when I went to restart the program it kept diving into the material. I reset the torchmate 3 table configuration to factory again after resetting my torch height, but now it wont make any cuts. I believe it is not getting an ok to move signal. It does the dry run fine, but once I hit active it will pierce the material and not move. My plasma is a powermax 600 with no okay to move cable so I just have it conected to the (+,-) in the machine. Is there somewhere I need to turn "ok to move" off, or bypass it somewhere? I tried to go through everything again from when I set it up, but am probably over looking one step that is preventing my cuts.
    Thanks

    You can turn Ok to Move off in the Tool Library for Tool 1.
