Hi Chris; After I corrected my thread order the symptom remained the same. Additional information observed is; the first home after EMC has been started the value loaded at the home/limit release point is approximately the position the axis was at EMC start, as loaded from the PARAMETER_FILE =. This is far enough to spike the "axis.n.f-error" off the scale instantly and produce the Joint Following Error.
I am running EMC 2.3.? off the last Live Disk install. Maybe I could park the system at the limit switches before system shutdown. Here is hoping there is better solution.
