Why 2 switches on each axis if they are traveling.? The point of having traveling switches is to lower the number of switches.
All you do to use 1 switch is set the same input number for each Limit IE: X Lim (++) = Input 1 and X Lim (- -) = 1. X Home = 1. Then when Switch sees the target at each end it trips Both Limits, It doesn't matter which Limit shows on screen all that matters is that it trips when triggered.
When it's homing it ignores limits and looks for the Switch trigger.
Regards Sloped Target then it's not needed for proximity switches. Just needs to see the metal target, However, it is better if switch passes over the target rather than butting up to it.
Also, you don't need 3 switches on Each X-axis. Only need 3 Switches for Both sides. X2 only needs a Home SW it doesn't need Limits the other side deals with Limits.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 10-11-2019 at 06:22 PM.
