Limit Switch for homing

[Reiko Röse]

Hi,


I am retrofit a Knuth WF1 CNC Mill with a Acorn Controller. I have limit switches on all axis in plus and minus direction they a all wired in series.
Can I use them also for homing the machine or do i need a separate row switches?

You need only one switch for each axis and set them up au Home Limit in the Wizard for the other direction use soft travel limits.

I think I know you from a German forum ?

Hi Uwe,

yes you do. I know the method do you have described. Let me ask in a different way.

Can i use the same row of switches for both functions, homing and hardware limit?

Yes Home Limit ist doing this, used for Home and Limit after homing is done.

If wired in series, use HomeLimitAll in the Wizard for this input.
