Title: Limit switch and home switch
Post by: grsabourin on February 20, 2017, 11:23:26 PM
Hi,

I have difficulty with my x axis home switch (other axis there are working properly). For the x axis when I do a reference (Ref) the carrier move in the home direction but when it hits the home switch it is generating a limit switch error instead of seeing it is as the home switch. It is generating similar error(limit switch triggered)  if I hit the limit switch at the other end of the x axis. I have checked the parallel port configuration and it seems correct. My x axis home switch is connected on pin 13 of the second parallel port. the X++ and X Home are set to 13 and to active low. I have also sometime similar issue with Z axis home switch but after few attempts I have success to do correct homing.

Thank you for your help
