What is the cause of this error?

[dovrosenberg]

I was moving the Z axis and this error popped up. The nozzle was nowhere near the plate. What is the intended purpose of the screen that you can move things around on?

The job tub has stopped because the touch off device is tripped. Whether that be a float switch or the torch touch input.

The torch touch button on the VCP has a red light on it at the top left showing that it is active. This means it is tripped.

The screen where you can move things around on is restart mode. You can tell you're in restart mode because the restart mode buttons are highlighted in Blue on the VCP. And the blue screen shows the restart mode options as f commands.

If a float switch or breakaway is tripped during a job. This will enact restart mode. Cnc12 will tell you to jog the torch up to untrip the float switch or breakaway.

So in restart mode if I was actually cutting a job, would it display the tool path I was cutting and allow me to move the torch head back to a new starting point? What about the Create Pierce Point and Create Resume Point? For the pierce point - will it start there and then move back to the original cutting path? will it go to the new set start point?

[Joey]

If there's a Job interruption Restart mode will automatically come up.

In Restart mode you use the F commands to choose how you would like to resume the Job.

For practice just run a Job in Dry run and Practice creating a new start point and lead in.

Restart Mode has a Help F command key and the Manual has descriptions on how to Jump around or create a new start point.

I've made a video that goes over the latest Restart mode functionality. You can check the Video out here.
