General Mach Discussion / Re: "Goto Zero" getting Soft Limits Error

« on: May 11, 2018, 10:21:59 AM »

Yes I know where the button is. I set my "ZERO" (soft limits ON) then when I move the machine away and then click "Goto Zero" the machine heads towards my "ZERO" point and when it gets close, it stops and and gives me a "Soft Limits Exceeded" error. At that time, i can still move the machine with the "Soft Limits" on over to my "ZERO".

Why am I getting a soft limits error? I am still able to move the machine to the boundaries set in my homing/limit tab which are "PAST" where the machine stops and says I exceeded.

If my "Zero" was past the "REF ALL HOME" would it cause this?

General Mach Discussion / "Goto Zero" getting Soft Limits Error

Hello Everyone!  Smiley  This is my first post. Hate to be so short, but I'm in the middle of a Project and the issue I'm having has brought me to a Halt!

Problem: I can manually move the spindle to an area with the "Soft Limits" ON with no problems! However, as soon as I press the "Goto Zero" button the spindle will head to that area and when it gets close the machine will stop! Mach 3 will give me a "Soft Limits exceeded" error. I can then still manually move the spindle past that area once again no problem. There are NO Limit Switches of any kind on this machine!


Hopefully Someone out there has had this issue before! All Help is Greatly Appreciated! Thank You  Smiley
