General Mach Discussion / Using Limit Switches with Novusun Controller
« on: December 12, 2023, 03:05:11 AM »
Hi All
Let me start by apologising if this topic has already been addressed, I searched and found nothing.
I have a Novusun NVEM controller which has inputs for home switches which are attached and working to a point. My machine sometimes drives past these switches so i would like to add limit switches which shut down the axis motor immediately when the switch is triggered. It is my intention to install two switches per axis, the switches will be connected in series in a normally closed configuration.
The Novusun NVEM has several input ports intended for user defined functions and these are the ports I intend to use.
When entering the ports and pins section in MACH3, I can define the ports but not the function of the ports - how do I define the function of the port?
Thank you in advance for any light you can shed on the topic
