Proximity limit switch problems

[davrich]

I think I'm starting to get this.

JAZZCNC I've tried to map out what you've described in the PDF below. I've also attached the CNCRP diagram of where the relevant switches are located on the machine.

S1, S2 and S3 on my machine seem to relate to S1 - Y, S2 - X, S3 - X prime home. I've tried to match these up with Home 1, 2, 3 and Limit 1, 2 in the diagram. Hopefully you can offer some guidance if I've got the order wrong.

Mapping these back to the pins in the control box this leave S1 unallocated which doesn't seem right.

Would this setup eliminate the need for the mechanical e/stops I have or do I still need those on each axis? I would rather get rid of them if I could.

Thanks
