My mistake, I momentarily forgot you were using Mach and not CNC11.
Since you are using a separate home switch instead of homing off the limit switch, limit switch settings and wiring would not be affecting your homing process.

Re: Ajax CNC Mach3 3-axis mill conversion thread
On the Machine Configuration, Motor parameters screen: do you have the same input numbers entered for minus and plus home switch inputs as you have entered for minus and plus limit switch inputs? If not: if, for example, your minus and plus limits are entered as 4 and 3, while your minus and plus ho...

Re: Jog keys not working
Did Z move smoothly before you ran Autotune?
What type of servo drives, motors, and position feedback are you using?
Is it possible that Autotune shook your encoder loose?

Re: Jog keys not working
The PLC program can invert the state of an input, so that a closed input appears open and vice versa. The basic GPIO4D PLC program assumes that INP10 is the spindle drive fault input. The PLC program looks at bit 1 (value 2) of Machine Parameter 178 to decide whether to invert INP10, in order to sup...

Re: CNC11 update
I am pretty sure that any time you update from CNC11 v3.00 rev34 (or earlier) to a reasonably-current version (say, something since last February) you need to also update your PLC program because the jog pendant key mapping was changed. See http://ajaxcnc.com/ajaxbb/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=64 for l...

Re: Copley 300 series drives
On a quick glance, I would guess that you need to: 1) Connect pin 19 (S, "normal") of each drive to pin 3 (FLT) of its axis header on the GPIO4D. 2) Connect pin 7 (G, "logic gnd") of each drive to pin 4 (FLTCOM) of its axis header on the GPIO4D. 3) Install a 470-ohm SIP resistor ...

Re: Bridgeport retrofit questions
You probably don't need the EMI filter in the 24VAC lines.
You could build your own rectifier to make 110VDC out of 83VAC, but you would be better off buying the unit from Ajax: "Capacitor & Bridge Combo", USD $89.

Re: Limit switches
You can get by without the additional switches. Decide which way you want X and Y to home: usually X-, Y+ (table right, saddle forward). Wire your single switches in as those switches (e.g. wire the X switch as the X- limit, and the Y switch as the Y+ limit. Defeat the other switches at the DC3IOB (...

Re: The retrofit kit to bridgeport
That is where you hook up the supply of whatever voltage your contactor coils require. For example, if you use reversing contactors that have 24VAC coils, then you would connect 24VAC where the diagram shows "power for reversing contactor coils". If you use contactors that have 120VAC coil...
