Hi,
CNC is China Zone CNC 6040 connected by USB to laptop running Windows 7 SP1.
Starting Mach3 shows Status: Device Error Triggered; selecting Reset changes the status to HomeSwitch Triggered. At no stage did the 6040 trigger any limit switch.
I have reinstalled Mach3 but the problems remain.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Clue from Chinese USB driver change log

add information display "device error triggered" when usb device communication error
So your error means you have to fix a "USB device Communication Error" meaning "USB plug-in" is not working.
1. Get updated driver and updated Plug-in for your USB motion Controller.
2. "Run as administrator" when you install all software and plug-ins and when launching MACH3.
3. An illegal copy of MACH3 will not support add-on(s) and plug-ins. So make sure you have a legal copy of MACH3.
