Thank you for the clarification and that is a good suggestion.

My apologies if I sounded ungrateful.

Something you could look into using for tool changes is M297/M298.
M297 disables software travel limits and M298 enables software travel limits.
These are on page 298 of the mill operator manual:

Perfect!. Thank you for that link. I've skimmed through that a few times but skimmed too fast to see it

I am looking for a comprehensive document or reference that lists all of the system variables and parameters that can be used in macros. While I have found bits and pieces of this information in various documents, I’m hoping to find a single, complete source that includes all available variables ...

Thank you for the explanation — that makes sense and helps clarify the current intent of software limits in Acorn.

I’d like to suggest this as a potential feature for a future update or add-on. Without accounting for tool length offsets, the lower Z limit becomes less meaningful for many users. In ...

I do understand that I could shift the X and Y more into positive to allow for the negative travel limit. More curious why this would be restricted in this way

The way you are handling the tool bar limits I suppose one could also adjust the Z limit in the tool change macro based on the tool height ...

I'm trying to better understand how software limits work, and I feel like I may be running into some limitations—or perhaps I’m just not setting things up correctly. Here’s what I’m seeing:

1. Positive Software Limit Range:

It seems like the low limit must be at or below zero. On my machine, zero ...

Perfect, Thank you

I need to replace the ends on some encoder cables for a Delta drive. Can anyone tell me what connector type this is?

I do not have my notes, but here is a short list of items connected to the outputs.

Why do you ask?

Red,Green, ambor lights
3 Phnunatic clamps
VFD enabled
Probe switch. This switch is connected to an input for probe safety. The Probe is always connected and in a tool holder number 3. I have ...
