My wiring problems came back LOL, had not a good luck this morning.......

First I think that is an easy one; I put the wiring on the Y & A axes as before and the Y limits (Home & +) works fine – when I trigger the lever the LED comes on on the diagnostic screen and I hear a bib but on the A axis the LED comes on but I hear no bib. Perhaps because A is slaved to Y ?

Now the big problem is the X & Z axes, cant get the limits to work. First I did the same canges as I did yesterday on the Y & A and it did not work ( I connected inside the control box the red from X to black from Z)

Then I connected the red from Z to black from X and again did not work. What puzzles me more is that on the diagnostic screen I see the following LED ON.

First I see no LED under the X axis no matter what and I find this strange

When I manually activate any limit on X or Z I see the following LED all together

Under Y axis M1++Limit, M3++Limit
Under Z axis M1--Limit, M3—Limit
Under A axis M1 Home, M3 Home

When I turn off the power to the control box I see on the diagnostic screen the following LED

X No LED
Y M1++Limit, M2++Limit, M3++Limit
Z M1—Limit, M3—Limit
A M1 Home, M2 Home, M3 Home, M4 Home

I know about your 2010 screen Gerry and I will investigate about the VB script when I finish my wiring problems

Are your Y, Z, and A all on the same pin?

It sounds like you have some serious wiring issues then. Or, your pin assignments are wrong.

Pin assignments are correct, so I got to work on the wiring to find out what I did wrong
