plasma stoping randomly and cant restart program

Finally some time to get back to the plasma table and it stops randomly and wont let me restart where it left off. Also normally I dry run to the stop point and finish the cutting when this happens. But today it wouldn't let me turn off dry run when I got to where it stopped. I have no idea why its stopping. I'm hoping the report will show something to someone that knows how to read it.

Thanks for your help.

Hey Jerry

I'm not seeing anything to out of normal.

Can you share the G-code so I can try it on my machine?

Restart mode is general is more robust in 5.08 and it might be worth updating.

The next software Version 5.1 will have the Latest Restart mode update that allows for selecting where you would like to jump to in the job. no more dry running to get where you want to be.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try updating. The program stopped at two different spots so I don't think it was the program. The program was a paid for program so it should be good.

Thanks again.

So 5.08 is a beta?

5.08 is the current release.

The 5.06 post at the top of the plasma forums is actually linked to the 5.08 release download page.

Did you run the job more than once? Was it stopping in the same places?

Sorry to keep bothering you but I can't find the 5.08 download. I click on the 5.06 at the top and can't see the link.
