I cant seem to get my soft limits to work. I have entered all of the values in config as per instructions.
When I press software limits button, I get something like " Work outside limits " - can anyone help please?
Thanks.
Mike

You prolly need to run the "Ref All Home" first. Soft limits is for limiting the Machine Coordinates.
Reply for further help.

Many thanks Bodini.
I normally do a Ref All Home before anything else. I tried it again, but no joy. The full error message is:
"Machine out of limits for SoftLimit Activation.
I have in config (all mm)
X max 90, min 0, slow zone 1, %20
Y same as above
Z max -50, min 0 slow zone -1, %20
Thanks again for your help.

Z max -50, min 0 slow zone -1, %20
try this:
Z max 0, min -50 slow zone -1, %20
Make sure your machine coordinates are between 0 and -50 when you try to enable soft limits.

Do you have limit or homing switches? Or are you "reffing all" with the table in a certain position? If the latter, is your machine running positive in direction from the ref point on X & Y? (Except Z whereas negative is a cutting move)

When you get the softlimit error, clcik the machine coordinates button ans tell us what the machine coordinates are.

Wow - thanks all ..... I will report back .....
