You have input 1 set to "home all" and input 2 set to "home limit all". Pick one or the other but not both. Home limit all works best and it's simple. Then you can set up the travel limits in the wizard.

Are your limit switches wired in series? I assume you have 3 of them? One on each axis at the ...

The router has been sold.

The PC linked to the Acorn will also not be happy if you just drop the power from it with an e-stop. The Acorn has an e-stop function built into the wizard for an input, and the wiring diagrams show that the e-stop drops the power out from the contactor coils for the spindle and drives but leaves ...

Yes.

Many builders have their own opinion as to what the estop should disconnect but in my opinion killing the entire power feed to the machine is not the correct way to wire it. There are far better wiring configurations.

That said, the estop is just what it is, an "EMERGENCY" stop. This is a ...

I believe it was, when I asked them about an ATC he said the could not sell that machine in the USA with an ATC due to an existing contract with laguna.

Just went back and read the thread again, I guess I miss this line. Apply 24 volts to the common pole of the number 8 relay. So, I take it I need to add a wire giving 24 volts to the relay. Will try that tomorrow.

Yes, that is what you are "switching" with the relay. 24 volts to the ...

I was also using only 2 Inputs with Acorn, on Acorn Six with plenty Inputs I am using two for each and have the TTO permanently plugged in :mrgreen:
