Problem setting limits

[srwtlc]

You can use the keypad to move towards the switches, just that once the the prox switch senses the target and stops movement, subsequent attempts with the keypad (arrow keys), will move past the target.

What do your input lights look like when away from the target and the LED on the prox is on.

I'd double check the wiring for the prox, e-stop, and even the zero plate. I'd also reset to the defaults for your machine with a UR to be sure that you have the VN settings at default.

If your limits are set to 'Off', they will not work with the keypad or with a file. If file limit checking (different than limits off) is off and limits are on, keypad moves will be stopped by the prox switches but not files.

It's possible that you could have one or more bad prox switches.

wiring problem...

Just went through my wiring schematic and everything matches up. The only lights on my screen that are on are the 1,2,4, and when the prox passes the bolt the 2 light on the screen will flash but will not stop the machine.

sure may match up...but saying wiring problem means connections...hardware true connections

What control box do you have.

[srwtlc]

If wiring and connections are good, when a target is hit (either X or Y), inputs 2 and 3 should both be activated.

The only time #1 should lit up is when the zero plate is grounded, so somethings not right there. Sure that the zero plate and prox cables are not crossed up? Bad inputs on the board maybe.

I went and checked again and everything matches the schematic. If they were crossed would the zero plate still work? Everything works but the prox switches.

What control box do you have.

What number do you need the one on the door of the control box?

I went out reset everything and now everything is working don't know what changed I have tried everything for the last six months and could not get it to work and after messing with it all day and the help from all you great people it WORKS.
THANK YOU EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!

Glad you got it sorted out. Sometimes you just have to shut everything down and restart to clear any settings that are held.
