Hello Hood,

glad to se you back.

--Looking at the wiring Thomas posted it looks like the Limits are Normally Open, that is not really a good thing, much better if they are Normally Closed.
--If they were Normally Closed then you could also have a momentary switch on your panel as an override so that if you hit a limit you can press and ------hold that switch and it will allow you to Reset Mach and jog off the limit.

that is what i wanted to try to explain.

the drawing must be wrong, because if the switches are "realy" NO swtitches the
emergerncy will never come up.

Hello Emil,

it is no problem for the software to handle + and - switch to be only one switch.

on my Weyrauch mill i have only one switch for + , - and home, also no problem.

for a first test,
hit one of the limits and have a look what RL10 is doing.
something must be wron in this diagramm anyway,
because all the limits should be NC contacts.

Hi Emil,

Hi All
I think I will buy and mount separate axis limit - switches on All axis !I try to declare the prezent limit switches on Mach3 but DON'T WORK FINE. If machine move with full speed or half speed when homing it cross over home limit and hit the -limit switch ! the limit-switches are wired on emergency chain and by hit de-energyze the drives, if drives are power off they don't move on Override limit set-up ! Bad thingh is : if I want to re-energyze drives, I can not, because the emergency state....
Need help on this , because I think somewhere I do mistakes.... :-[ ???

if you go back to page 8 of this thread, we had this discusion about limt switches and e-stop allready.

Hi KMtronic,

used your example with a nano, worked fine, thank you.

but i had some issues with temporary coming up inputs.
i use no external pullup resistors, because of the internal ones.

your code:

 pinMode(2, INPUT);           // Set pin to input
 digitalWrite(2, HIGH);       // Turn on pullup resistor

should be:
 pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);           // Set pin to input and turn on pullup resistor

for my understanding.
since i changed this all the problems are gone.

Hello,

i think it is a CSMIO issue, tested it on my PP testmachine in office.
try to contact CSMIO support.

Hi,

this

SetParam ("YRefPer",100)
DoOEMButton (1023) 'home at 100%
While IsMoving()
Wend
Code "G53 Y5" 'move off switch 5mm
While IsMoving()
Wend
SetParam ("YRefPer",5)
Sleep 200
DoOEMButton (1023) 'home at 5%
While IsMoving()
Wend
SetParam ("YRefPer",100)


is working here.

Hi,

The macro move the axis in Jog until an external switch is pressed ( like an automatic pallet finder ).

I need to move the axis in manual Jog with a VB macro ......... I don't understand why this function is available but don't work in my application .

What is wrong ?



have a look for G31/M31 for this, would be perfect for this.

Hi,

ok again, what are you trying to do with this macro.

i still think it is a homing/probing.

Thomas

sometimes an other way is the better way.
