I read thru your manual. My take on this is the height control (Z axis) is a stand alone system.

The X,Y axis will be run by your controller. We need to know what you are using for a controller before we can help much on whether Mach3 and Sheetcam will work with your system.

Try the 'Mach3 plasma No Z' post. That should work if you only need X and Y.

Do you just need one signal from Mach to trigger the THC to lower and fire the torch? If so use the spindle output. In mach3 go to the spindle settings in ports and pins and make sure the spindle delays are all set to 0.
