I have just noticed that when pressing the 'home all' button on the screen, the Z moves first so it must be that when I configured my number pad pendent I did not get the movement right. I will have to have a look and see if there is another way to do it.

Once again a huge thank you to all of you for all your help, you certainly make this process much easier for the challenged like me.

 ;D I got it!!!!!!!!! It was all about that pin 13 mixup. Pin 13 is for the A limit and pin 15 is for E Stop. Of course having disabled the A axis to try and get it all working made it look like the E Stop was working, but it was actually giving the A axis over travel signal. So I have switched the pins in the input signals and now it all works. ;)
BUT, I haven't messed with the script in the 'all home' button, and when activated all 3 axes move together. How do I change this to the default of 1st Z then Y then X. I don't want to crash cutters. :D
I have attached the latest xml, if that helps.

Yes the script is standard. When I changed the orders all I did was jog each axis further away from the limit switch in turn.
I did go to the diagnostics page and homed each axis individually. The reset flashed on every axis as it backed off and zeroed.
I will only be able to post the xml this evening at around 5.30.

Where do I find the 'ref all home' macro?

I have tried with all 3 axes reaching home first and they all back off and go green, but as soon as the last one backs off all leds go back to red and the reset flashes. ???

Thanks to all of you for your time, you have been a great help as usual. X,Y and Z limits and E-Stop are now all working. There is another twist now, however. I have the auto zero set, but when I 'Home All' all the axes go to home limit and auto zero, but then immediately the reset flashes. The axis led's do not go green either. Any suggestions?

Honestly don't know, I would have to go and check. Too late now as I need to run an extension lead down to the garage for light etc. I will only be able to get back to it on Sunday.
