Sumtor Control Board - homing/limit switches

[Roy-J]

Hi JAZZCNC & Clive S,

I am pleased to report that following your expert help I have completed the upgrade to my CNC 4060, and now I have limit switches on all axis and separate home switches as well. I followed your guidance to the letter and I encountered no problems at all and it all works superbly. I can't thank you both enough for the support you gave me as I was more than a little nervous about the electronics side of this work but once I got into it, and using your wiring diagram, I found it really quite straightforward. I have attached a photo showing the finished upgrade and once again thank you both so much.

Kind Regards

Roy

Roy. Thanks for the kind words and glad you have it working.

I notice you have a handle on the stepper. That generally is not good unless it is very light as it will add a lot of inertia.

Hi Clive, thanks for the heads up, I only refitted these to make it easier for me to manually fine tune the limits and home switches, I will be removing them before next using the machine.

Once again thank you for your help.

Kind Regards

Roy

Hi Roy I’m new just bought 6040 too with Sumtor board and I have the same problem as you! Can you post the plug in config on the board?
Hope you are well and sorry for my poor English!

Without dismantling my control box to allow me to take photos I don't know how else to help you out here. If you carefully follow the thread from the top all the information you require is there, try that first and if you are still having issues come back here and I will help you further.

Regards

Roy
