Hi Mike,

 

I'm not sure but there is a Limit Switch Action called "Stop Motion" that isn't properly supported yet and can cause problems like you are seeing.

 

Did you somehow change things to use that mode?  If so change back to "Kill Motor Drive".

 

Regards

TK

Hi Mike,   That would indicate your Neg Limit is indicating it is active.  Is it?  (Check Digital IO Screen)   Did you mean to say Analog Outputs?  Or Analog inputs?   Is the Kanalog LED on?   Sounds like you should go back to basics and test/troubleshoot the hardware.  Disconnect Everything.  Cycle Power.  Do not do any Initialization,  Check al the screens are indicating normal things (DAC Outputs are zero).  Use Console Screen to set a DAC to various voltages.  Verify with a voltmeter.   Regards TK Group: DynoMotion Message: 5553 From: mrosenfield@hotmail.com Date: 8/16/2012 Subject: Re: It just quit working I have also compared the init file with a backup copy from last week; other than the MPG code (commented out currently) the files are the same.

I moved a wire that I thought was unused, but it was powering the limit inputs! All fine now. Thanks for the help, Tom! I'll leave the limit controls set to  kill motor, but they have been on stop motion with no apparent issues.

Especially the point about properly debouncing the switch changes.
