Can anyone help with info on setting up limit switches in EMC2? I have read what I thought were the relevant sections of the integrators manual but can't seem to find anything useful.
I have built a CNC router using stepper motors. I am using a CandCNC mini-io board which uses xylotex pinout. I have installed a roller arm micro switch at each end of my X, Y and Z axii. I have wired them in series NC (normally closed). I am planning to connect them to pin 15. Then when I install the home switches, I plan to connect X to pin 11, Y to pin 12 and Z to pin 13. My Estop is connected to pin 10. (The mini-io bd uses the xylotex pinouts.) For example the estop (pin 10) connects to "iocontrol.0.emc-enable- in" like below instead of pin 0. linkpp parport.0.pin-10-in iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in So if I have it right so far, then the homes would be -- X home would be -- linkpp parport.0.pin-11-in axis.0.home-sw-in Y home would be -- linkpp parport.0.pin-12-in axis.1.home-sw-in and Z home would be -- linkpp parport.0.pin-13-in axis.2.home-sw-in What I really need to know is what pin do the limits logically connect to (since all 6 limits are chained together)? linkpp parport.0.pin-15-in ?????? axis.0.pos-lim-sw-in or what?
