Hi All

Let me start by apologising if this topic has already been addressed, I searched and found nothing.

I have a Novusun NVEM controller which has inputs for home switches which are attached and working to a point.  My machine sometimes drives past these switches so i would like to add limit switches which shut down the axis motor immediately when the switch is triggered.  It is my intention to install two switches per axis, the switches will be connected in series in a normally closed configuration.
The Novusun NVEM has several input ports intended for user defined functions and these are the ports I intend to use.
When entering the ports and pins section in MACH3, I can define the ports but not the function of the ports - how do I define the function of the port?
Thank you in advance for any light you can shed on the topic

Hi,

Sorry to say but this forum does not support Novusun products.

Dear Tweakie

My sincerest apologies for offending you and all those other Mach users who do not use Novusun controllers.
When I purchased the CNC kit from the Banggood website there was no warning that the controller came with pirated software so I was unaware of this.
I had researched the product before hand and most reviews were positive, again no warning.
As a matter of interest, if I were to purchase a reputable controller to replace the Novusun, which would you recommend?

I cant actually recommend anything specific as there are many good EU or USA manufactured products available. One that I use and find excellent is the CncDrive AXBB-E.
If you choose EU or USA manufactured products then (unlike the Chinese products) they come with makers back-up and support.

I have a CNCDrive UC100 - in fact two, one on lathe and one on mill.  They work very well.  Mine came from a CNCDrive stockist in the UK, make sure you get a genuine one as clones are available.  This has a USB interface but they also have Ethernet types.  I run Mach3 on a Win10 Dell mini PC.
