[Schematicsman]

Hi,there everyone.
I need help with wiring my cnc6040Z USB 800 Watt machine 3 axis limit switches -->2 per axis in Normally Closed in series to the board mentioned bellow.

My problem is I have JP-3163B ver 3.9 motion controller board,On one side it has these connections--> VCC/XXW/XYW/ZXW and on the other C/NO/0-10V/ GND now please tell me do i need to place the 2 wires per limit switch for eg.for the X axis -->Com and NC wires in the XXW slot and Y axis Com and NC in the XYW and same for the Z axis in the ZXW or only NC wire in each of them and all the COM wires in the VCC slot?
Im so confused ???? plus do I need resisters or is it fine without???? :
And here is a link for the complete pic.

Hi
do you have a link to the manual you can post ?
of better still -
take a photo of your board

as the google link goes to several pictures

I think you should find the limit switch connections should go to
a small 5 pin header on the board and not to any large screw terminals like the connections for the power and stepper motors

Hi.there I have tried to attached a pic of the actual board I have minus the DB9 which is optional on mine.now i also have [cnc6040z .settings file ] which i can not open and would like to know how to upload on this page it is saying invalid format please tell me how to upload??? I need your help on wiring limit switches and setting exact parameters in mach 3 or 4 demo according to these documents which came with the machine.???

hi i have managed to upload my cnc6040Z XML settings file that came with the cd for my machine.great i hope you can help me with everything from start to milling something.

i have also attached a pic of the actual limit switches i would like wire in series 2 per axis on the actual board....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<<<Now i know that 2 limit switches will have 2 wires coming from them ---->1) Com(black wire GND) /// 2) NC(Red wire)
so that is 6 wires /6 limit switches...>>>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now how and where on my jp-3163B v3.9 board i have attached a pic of , will 3 black wires and the 3 red wires be plugged in exactly ???

Also do i have use resisters with my limit switches or not i need full explanation i hope not ?????/??

Sorry for my persistence and rambling. :)

This is how I would connect the limit switches.

I see Eddycurrent beet me to it

while I was adding to one of your pictures


with only the link to select either the internal +5v or an external positive suppy for the input opto isolators
but no link to break the ground connection

it looks like you can not take full advantage of the input
opto-isolators

as soon as I can I will down load mach3 to see what the XML file setting are

You have the user name "Schematicsman", you are going to mill a pcb, and yet you can't wire two switches in series ? plus you can't read the previous two posts ! having a laugh ?
