General Mach Discussion / Re: z-axis only goes one direction

The one thing you can be certain of it that it is not a fault within the Mach3 software.
Check that you have the correct pin# and Port# set for your Z axis Direction signal (Config / Ports & Pins / Motor Outputs).
Check that you do not have a conflict (duplication) of Pin numbers being used within the Mach3 settings.
Use a multimeter to check that the Direction signal of the Z axis at it's driver is changing between zero and 5 volts (approx.) when you use the page up / down keys.
Run the Smooth Stepper SCU and check all your settings.
