Somehow my x & y coordinates have been corrupted. When I try to zero to the proximity switches, I get prompted to back off the proximity switches when I am in fact nowhere near them.
standard BT32
Thanks

Are the litlle lights on the sensores when not on the bolt ?.If so then check your wires.

The red lights are on but I believe they have always been and assumed that they should be.

if yours is a PRS then , YES they're on all the time . Check to see if when your moving over the target that the lights go off and if not then check your wires, or adjust the bolts so that they turn off the switches .

The trouble is I don't get near the targets.

I think there is an option of where you tell the software how to set the limit switches . Ether normaly open or normaly closed . try that .I dont have a way of checking where those settings are right now since I am at home .

John,
Type VN into SB3 and change the 1st line that says:"Limits ON or OFF" to be set to OFF.

This *should* fix it for you.

Thanks guys. Just SW confusion. I had to dump and re-run the setup file and all is well.
