This action does not occur with the current release v5.08. The foll...

Yes, and YesDragonbitscnc wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 12:33 pm If I'm reading this correctly, I can wire limit switches to Acorn board according to "S14945.DWG"-and use G540 as drive only?
Also does the PSU (MEANWELL RD-35B) that comes with acorn board have enough power for 5 NPN proximity switches?
thanks John.

1 rev per minute = 360°/min
1 rev per second (60 rpm) = 21,600°/min
Depending on your hardware neither one of the above are considered very fast. I routinely set my max rate at 144,000°/min for low reduction wood cutting, with fast jog at 7200 and slow jog at 720
