I have had some troubles getting back on the forum... But I read all the directions, but I guess you must not be to familiar with Camsoft? Camsoft will screw up if you use an electric sparcking lighter for a cigerette... HAHAHAH Not really that funny to me....

I had already done all that....

I ran a code on Monday that took 4 hours, I tried to run the same one and it would stop.... line 10920 and I would restart only to have it stop again later in the program at random... I was just running it in that air, no spindle in use...

I do not think it is the switches, the motors, the encoders, the galil, or anything else that Camsoft uses.. As in Camsoft I do not have this problem???

Galil / Is it true about Galil plugin?

I have now gotten my machine up and running Flawlessly well on Sunday... Not one problem... I installed the home switches one at a time checking each as they were hooked up.. It all worked great until I started it up today... It was ok on Tuesday, infact it ran for a 6 hour program with no problems....Now today when I started it up I ran out X,Y,and Z then checked the homeing as I was planning on setting up a fixture with some manual tool changes and a few of the same part...

At first it homed Z fine, then X went the opisite direction.. When it came to Y it moved a few inches pretty quick and stopped... Nothing was working properly at this time.. No moves possable, with the Shuttle pro, or the tab control... I hit the ESC key and it scrolled SCRIPT TERMINATED across the bottom and then I could move the machine, but did not have any movement in the DRO...

I checked ports pins and homeing limits.. I got the X going the correct direction, but then Z tryed to home - .....

I had to stop for other business but at the time I stopped messing with it it would not home any of the axis... any attempt would cause some script to not complete its task, seemingly locking it down.....

I still have Camsoft installed, the machine runs in the same manner as before the installation of Mach with camsoft....  Why??? I hate some of the camsoft features, and Mach ran so much better than camsoft..... Help!!!!!!!!!!!.?>?>?>?

I can ESC and it will try again... In the block at the bottom it says script terminated......  Have not noticed a pause light....

What would make the limit switches change?

If I home any of my axis now they x goes towards the switch and stops... Y will go a few inches, and Z will touch the switch but not move back to make it contact again?

When they trigger the switch my shuttle pro will not work until you reset???

Esc terminates script...

What to check?

I know where they go on the galil... and How to hook them up on the galil... I also know that if you disconnect wires from the galil18x2 thare is a good chance it'll run away wildly... Been running camsoft for 3 years, and I learned and little wireing change while the machine is up, go ahead and get the e-stop ready...

I know what to put in the ports and pins on for the board locations.  Just the term Active low, or high? One means NC and the other is NO... I guess I will have to trial and error....
