limit over ride

Robert Campbell
 

I have a new CNC router that I build set up to run.

I am trying to figure how to back off a limit switch using software limits.

If I go to the correction page and toggle the software limits, I can then go
back and move off the limit, but the system will now not recognize my
limits.

In the correction page I can not get the red software limits light to go
off.

Is it set to "autoZero the DRO"? This should stop the softlimits from
applying when the ref is done. It shouldn't be possible to hit a limit with
softlimits enabled as the softlimits should be set to maintain just in front
of the switch...hmm. Does doing a ref, help?

Art,

What is the proper procedure to back off limits. I am not using an external
switch.

My main concerned is the use of one of my systems at a local high school.

Bob:

Oh, I see the problem. With switches you simply press reset and the switch
is overriden until you jog off of it. With softlimits, you should be able to
jog the other way. Is the system somehow locking you out from moveing wither
direction until softlimits are turned off? That would be a bug if so, I will
check it.

Thanks,
