Usually, on machinery (CNC, automated robots, etc.,) I would see what they would call a software limit switch and a hardware limit switch. In this case, you have a hardware limit switch type setup, which would be your Inductive Proximity Switch (which is referred to as limit switches in this video). But it doesn't appear to have a software limit switch, at least from what I can tell. Usually, the software limit switch would be like your primary stop, and your hardware limit switch would be almost your like emergency stop. Like just in case a servo motor lost its position, or the wrong values were input into the program. It would halt all functions, in an attempt to prevent further damage to the equipment or product. But you can also use the Hardware Limit switch as a homing/referencing switch, which is what you did here in this video. Not entirely sure what goal you have in mind for this setup, or what all you are planning on doing with it. But Cool as heck to see someone successfully troubleshooting an issue, as opposed to just working around it. Some of which is things I constantly have to deal with on a weekly basis, lol. Best of luck to you!
Thank you very much for your observation, in effect I have soft limit switches activated on mach3 and the physical switches are mostly used for homing as you pointed up, you have to take in count that I'm just a hobby CNC er, and never worked on this things until a couple of year ago, nevertheless the more I learn about it, the less confident I feel. (you know: "dunning kruger"). Thanks again for your comment!
This was helpful. I've been looking for a solution to my limit switch issue and saw configuring a debounce setting as a possible solution. No one explains exactly which debounce setting to enter though, as there are two. I entered your setting of 1000 and my cnc router now homes w/o issue. Thanks.
Thank you very much for this video, very good explanation and very helpful, I have to stay stuck with this problem about settings but now I have the solution thanks to you
@@CarlosMDominguez there should be something in the system that makes for a more positive approach rather than just getting lucky and hitting the button just a the right time.
@@IH1940HAY Oh I got it. You know, I am a little rusty on all of this stuff, It is been more than a year since my last video. I hope I can get back into it as soon as I have a place to work in the near future. Sorry I can not answer your question satisfactorily. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned.
sir i have a problem that when i check on auto limit in limited think three they are running and mac show three pin number and when i do al home limited switch stop working machine What is the solution for limited switches crossing?

Great video, I will have to give it a try! That is a very nifty looking controller that you were using, did you make it or buy it?
I bought it from Zilotech, but I'm not sure if they still on business. Thanks for the comment.
06:42 starting to explain about Debounce
Yeah, may be I need to do it better in another video. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you sir, good information
Thank you for watching, and for your comment!
Thank you.
Your welcome.
Do you have a fix for pressing the button between pulses, there should be a setting that is applicable?
That is the fix I think, unless I did not get your question.
