General Mach Discussion / Re: Setting Home and limits

« on: September 27, 2006, 01:26:29 AM »

Hi, Enytned1

There is one thing that can cause this. You probably have the pins setup wrong, With limit's, mach is looking for any limit to trip, in Homing it

is looking at the Axis that is homing, X pin 11, Y pin 12, Z pin 13.

Changing the switches to All in Series will fix Above Just make sure you change all the Config, Ports and Pins, Input Signals, to the proper Pin #.

I didn't change any of your feeds or speeds set the Axis's in mid Pos set the Feed Rate to 1, click on F Window, it will lite up type in 1 hit enter.

This will set feed to 1 inch feed rate. You can simulate the switch manually.

The spacebar, feed hold, stop, reset, all will stop it if it gets out of hand.

I sent you an off list Message give me a call if any Questions.

Thank's Chip

Hi, Enytned1

If You put all 6 Limit switches in series you can use 1 Pin for all including Home when Mach is setup rite.

I have a Dayton Router 4 X 8 gantry, all switche's on one pin.

Hi, Enytned1

You probably still need to fix the error,
Tue - 19:05:02 ---Program Startup
Tue - 19:05:12 ---Softlimits Max < Min--------------This is probity causing your problem.

In Config, Ports Pins, Input Signals, set X Home, Enable, Port 1 Pin # 10 or 15 ...... you don't have enough pins for all Axis's with out adding another Parrell port.

It will work if you set it up properly the way it is now.

Thank's Chip

Hi, Enytned1

Downloaded your XML, In your Mach3 folder you'll find a file called LastErrors.txt it has your error for last run it shows as follows.

Tue - 19:05:02 ---Program Startup
Tue - 19:05:12 ---Softlimits Max < Min--------------This is probily causing your problem.

After I changed settings, Changed, Z max to 6.00, Z min 0.00, Checked the Home neg for X, Y in Config HomeLinits.

Tue - 19:17:59 ---Program Startup
Tue - 19:18:05 ---

If your axis X, Y, Z,  move backward's, check the Reversed  in HomeLimitsr for them.

Not nowing how you have your machine set up.

Most Machine's are set - up with  Home, Spindle Up Z+, the left front edge of table X-, Y-, under spindle, X being left to right and Y forward  and aft.

Hear is a XML file to try.

Hope this Help's Chip

Hi, Originator

The Test 1.XML was for a Max Nc CL 15 it dosent have pin assignment, don't now if that's normal, the Test 2 is the same XML that I added pin # to.

The XML was on Yahoo Maxnc group Files section named maxnc cl 15 final, Finaly was able to save them in XML format.

Give them a try won't change the one your using now.

Glad to hear it's a little better now.

Where are you located.

Thank's cHip

Hi, Twin Staged

Thay still must be incorrect.
