I have set the Z as suggested in your previous post.
I have checked the Home Neg Box for Y as when I pressed ref all home it was homing on the positive side of the table.
Referencing has not completed.
1. The Z moves 1st correct direction (up), hits limit and backs off.
2. Y moves 2nd correct dir ( toward minus) hits limit, does not back off. When I reset it automatically triggers a stop saying limit triggered. Cannot not get it to move off limit unless I disable (un-check input) Y. Then move off Y limit recheck the input. The same happens all over again if I do a ref all home again.
3. I tried a 3rd time and got Z and Y to reference, but the X moved interdependently of it's slaved motor.
4. After the 1st ref all home I did notice that the A axis was showing A green outline around it's DRO button.
How do I get the 2 motors of the x axis to work together - remember I did not have to change either of their dir active low setting to get them to travel in same direction.
Am I correct in assuming that one needs to reference the axes in order to set the table parameters in accordance with the home/soft limits.
and does one need to zero the axis first......jog them to zeo position then zero them?
