New Proximity Switch doesn't work

[mikek]

Just installed new prox switches on a 4G Benchtop. I am using 3.5.0Beta rev 14 software. The led's stay lit until hitting the targets. Running C3 faults saying the machine is already past the limit switch. Seems like it is working just the opposite for what the software is looking for. What hidden instruction have I missed?

Mike,

Get the latest beta. There's a new homing routine for the new NC (normally closed) switches. They also need to be wired differently. X goes on input #2 and Y on input #3. Be sure to do the control box firmware too.

I'm speaking from an Alpha view point, a 4G could be different. If you give ShopBot a call, they can get you straightened out.

You are correct Scott. Just talked to Chris and he showed me the new VN settings in 3.5.0Beta r16. I had 3.5.0Beta r14. I had it wired correctly, just not enough instruction on new settings. Should work like a champ now. The new VN settings should come in real handy for all sorts of crazy ideas now!

Tried it (3.5.0Beta r16) last night and it works just fine. Thanks Scott and Chris.
