General Mach Discussion / Homing and Limits
« on: April 02, 2020, 09:51:03 AM »
At the moment my machine is unavailable due to a workshop refurb.

Can anyone confirm whether Limits are enabled or disabled during Homing? If they are disabled then I have a dangerous situation if I have a wiring fault on the Homes as they are NO inductive switches. The Limits are NC microswitches, so that would provide a safety net.

Thanks,

Rob

General Mach Discussion / Limits problem
« on: March 15, 2016, 08:45:32 PM »
I don't know if anyone can offer any advice, but all of a sudden and for no apparent reason (?) my limits were all triggered and would not reset. All ++ are on one circuit and all -- are on another. I also have a limits override switch. No matter how Mach3 was set up one or t'other of the limits was triggered. I use a second BoB on LPT2 and was beginning to suspect the BoB, cable or port card as everything looked hunky dory on the meter.
 
So I changed the BoB and cable, but no joy - everything was the same.

On an off chance I looked at all the other input pins and down the list, all the jog inputs were set as active on port 0.

I de-activated them and the limits now behave as they should.

Anybody know why ?

Cheers, (Red Wine !!!)
