My experience with EMC2 is that you must select the limit override check box before you can move anything. With the soft limits set properly, you should never hit a hard (switch) limit. It may be that the developers thought that if a hard limit was activated, other problems may exist, which should be checked before continuing. Soft limits can be backed off of without an override. I have the full switch setup, so I don't know how EMC2 handles other setups, but with limits switches in series won't be able to tell if you hit a + or - limit or even which axis (joint), but again, it's less of an issue if the soft limits are setup. ------------- Kirk http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
