General Mach Discussion / soft limits and active coordinate system question

« on: April 14, 2020, 02:26:21 PM »

ok, I installed home switches on the little chinese 3040Z-DQ (connected with the RTM200 USB adapter). It now references all axes successfully and obeys to the soft limits when active. The thing that troubles me is that, when I toggle the "machine coordinates" OFF, the soft limits apply to the active offset coordinate system(G54 or G54+). The true mins and maxs are no longer respected. Hence, I am forced to have 'machine coordinates' ON while jogging to retain the protective benefit of the soft limits function. Am I missing something in the configuration? Is it a glitch of my hardware setup or....??
Thank you community. Stay good.
