Finished Screens / Re: Mach3 2010 Screenset - Now available

Thanks for the fast response!  After thinking about it, I believe you may be correct with the ajax board not working correctly with the brain.  It does state "Z axis is now zeroed" when complete. 

I don't think it is a noise issue since it is repeating the same sequence every time.

My hardware has a dedicated Tool Setter Input on the PLC , and the motion controller (MPU11) has a dedicated Probe Input.  I currently have it wired into the Tool Setter (which is what i want it to do), but maybe it needs to go directly into the Probe Input.  I guess I should find the probe wiring diagram and give it a try.

Thanks again for your help!
Matt

Hi Gerry,
my screenset is up and running and it looks really good.  i am having an issue with the "Simple Auto" and "Initial Auto" zero though.  
i loaded the Brain you provided to a gentleman not to long ago ( i did need to alter the brain "Input1" to a "Modbus input 13 address").  I am using an AJAX MPU11 and DCio3B boards communicating through ethernet.

The probe input LED lights up and it seems like it should work.  However, when i press either of the buttons (initial zero does move the position i call out)
Z basically pauses.
Moves up .05
Z zeros
Then moves .750 up (value i have loaded into the "clearance plane" setting)

it never tries to make the 6" z travel the the macro calls out trying to find the probe.  Nor does it try a second time to probe. almost like it is already made.

if i place a item over the probe input prior to pressing either auto zero it displays " Z grounded check connection and try again" per the macro.

I am sure this is a setting i have incorrect, but cannot be sure.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Matt
