    Default Port #4 Problems

    Just relocated my shopbot PRS Standard and hooked it up just as before. I attempted to home the X & Y axis, using the proximity switches, however, port #4 displays a red outer circle with green in the middle and port #3 has a green outer circle with yellow in the middle. It is not blinking and the X & Y axis have not gone past the limit switches. Not sure if the picture will come through or not. I need step by step instructions if available. Thanks...William Moore

    Looks right...It appears that the tool is sitting on the X prox by its solid yellow color on Input#2.

    Thumbs down

    So #3 & 4 are correct and #2 should be, what color? The tool is not sitting on X prox but light is on, so could it be a bad switch?

    4 is lit up blue any time the tool is in motion OR when the keypad is open.

    #2 is X axis Prox
    #3 is Y axis Prox

    If X/#2 shows it is active, the sensor either senses metal, the wiring is incorrect, broken or the switch itself is bad.

    Thank you Brady, I suspect the switch is bad. I appreciate the information...William
