Re: Machine Stopping Mid Program! <flaky limits and bad coms>

It looks like it was a limit switch issue. I removed my Y-axis way cover, and some chips and coolant got into the switch and were causing it to trip. I went ahead and used everyone's advice and removed the limitAll, and am just using the soft limits. Everything seems to be running as it should now ...

Re: Machine Stopping Mid Program! <flaky limits and bad coms>

I think I’m starting to remember how I wired this machine years ago. My setup includes switches for the + and - travel limits. Should I connect the HomeAll feature to the three switches that trigger in the home position? Would the opposite ends of the travel switches then connect to the LimitAll ...

Re: Machine Stopping Mid Program! <flaky limits and bad coms>

It was stopping at about the same place each time, but now it's more random. Now it won't even reach the starting position of the program. It will rapid for about 1-2" then fault. I guess I will go through each limit switch and its wires, and see if I can find a bad one.

Re: Machine Stopping Mid Program! <flaky limits and bad coms>


ok , that means the switches are normally open. so that means when they are triggered they close the input. use a continuity meter to verify this.

for Normally Open switches you wire them in parallel not series as shown in the schematic i posted above.

Re: Machine Stopping Mid Program! <flaky limits and bad coms>


do they open in the input when triggered or close the input when triggered?

wire them up as classic HomeAll.

(ignore the LimitAll as seen on this schematic.)

Re: Machine Stopping Mid Program! <flaky limits and bad coms>


thanks for the updated report. the last entries are below.
you can see these yourself in the error log menu in the utility menu.

i see you are using homeall and limit all. how do you have them wired? photos please.

I would drag the LimitAll out of the Wizard input selection (make sure the soft ...
