General Mach Discussion / Homing Procedure Reversed. Need help
« on: January 19, 2013, 06:20:49 PM »
I am trying to set up my home switches and thing doesn't seem to go well. I have 5 proximity sensors wired for x and y axis. X- Home, X+, X Prime, Y- Home, and Y+ to the Gecko 540.

X-Home and X+ are wired together to Input 3 pin 12.
Y-Home and Y+ are wired together to Input 1 pin 10.
X Prime is wired to Input 2 pin 11.

On the diagnostics screen, M1++ Limit, M1—Limit, and M1Home light up whenever either of the Y sensors (plus or minus) is tripped. M2++ Limit, M2—Limit, and M2Home light up whenever either of the X sensors (plus or minus) is tripped. M4Home lights up whenever the X prime sensor is tripped. However, when I press ref home, my Y-axis moves first and continue to move even when the sensor on the Y-axis is tripped. It will only stop when I trip the X-axis sensor. Then, the X-axis motor and the A-axis motor move in the opposite direction and will only stop when I trip the Y-axis sensor. What am I doing wrong here?
