So like others that have experienced this issue, I got the blank white screen when opening FireControl. Have never had any issues with it before. Decided to delete FireControl from my computer and downloaded the newest version. It opens up like normal. However, when I went to cut a simple project, got an error code. My torch fires then immediately stops. Ran the test for the THC and everything checked out. Maybe bad consumables? I’ll put some new ones in and see. Below is the error code that I got
That’s generally not a fire control issue that is usually a plasma issue…
How is the condition of your consumables and what plasma are you running?

Check all your wires going in/out of the VIM box and to the enclosure.
You are getting the “Torch On” command but when FireControl is trying to sense voltage, it is not seeing it. If there is a problem with those wires you would also get this error. Verify that they are connected thusly and that there is not damage to the wires or the ports where they are connected:

I just updated a couple days ago from a fairly old version of fire control (20.6 I think) & the torch wouldn’t fire. I noticed that there was a firmware update available, so I did that & rebooted everything and it has been working fine since.

Usually when my consumables are bad, I’ll get a fault light on my plasma machine. That was what I checked first. No fault light on machine. I’m using a Hypertherm 30xp
That warning is usually associated with a misfire or to short of a pierce delay.
I recently bought a new swirl ring for my ht65. You could guarantee that it would misfire 5 to 6 times out of 100 pierces so I went back to the old one till a new one comes. You may need to change that as well.
