Hi Tom,
I just installed my KFLOP interface board, which i also did some re routing of bits and need some help with the C Programs.

After i start Mach3 and click Reset, I get "X Axis Disabled" in status area.

Kmotion Console window says .....
Neg Limit Disabled Axis :0
Neg Limit Disabled Axis :1
Neg Limit Disabled Axis :0
Simulated Manual Mode off
Pulse Estop

The above prints every time i run my init C program.

In the Axis window of Kmotion, i can not Enable axes 0 or 1.

Bits i have changed or rerouted from my previous working setup are...

Manual Mode Switch-IO45 to IO25
X Limit Switch- IO6 to IO16
Y Limit Switch-IO7 to IO17
Z Limit Switch- IO15 to IO18
ESTOP Switch -IO14 to IO23

Here is link to C programs before interface board....

Here is link to C programs that i have altered to match new bits....

Any help always appreciated,
Troy

Made a little progress.
In my init C program Mach3_CL_PMDX-125(Version5,1).c, i changed this...

// enable/disable limits based on a
// DRO downloaded from Mach3


if (*pin == 0)<----This is what i changed.
{
ch0->LimitSwitchOptions = 0x0606000f;
ch1->LimitSwitchOptions = 0x0707000f;
ch2->LimitSwitchOptions = 0x0f0f000f;

to this...

// enable/disable limits based on a
// DRO downloaded from Mach3


if (*pin == 1)<-----This is what i changed.
{
ch0->LimitSwitchOptions = 0x0606000f;
ch1->LimitSwitchOptions = 0x0707000f;
ch2->LimitSwitchOptions = 0x0f0f000f;

Now a new issue when referencing axis X and Y. What happens is axis moves till limit switch is triggered then moves out of switch and zeroes axis. After zero i get Axis Disabled fault in Mach3, which ever axis iam referencing at the time.
This happens right after the C program changes Limit switch options. If i remove the line of code that changes Limit switch options, then there is no Axis Disabled fault. This line of code is supposed to re-enable limit switch as i understand it.
Ive also noticed that limit switches are not stopping any movement when i jog machine into them.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Troy

Also added a xls sheet of pin and bit designation named PMDXpinsToKFLOPpins.xls

I believe we got it.
When i changed the pin and IO bit for limit switches i also needed to change the bit to watch in the Limit Switch Options. After i changed the Limit Switch Options Z axis would work correctly but X and Y limit switch would not stop when jogging axis into it. Until i went back into my init C program Mach3_CL_PMDX-125(Version5,1).c and changed the line....

if (*pin == 1)

back to...

if (*pin == 0)

Now all appears to be working correctly. :)

Iam sure ill need more help, as i will be adding physical CycleStart,FeedHold and Stop buttons. And 4th axis A.

Thanks,
Troy
