Biesse Rover 346 Retrofit

Like this.

Yes Todd, thanks, thats what I was thinking also however...... the 24 is com.

I just spoke with the prior owner and he said they never had an override button, they just jogged off the axis. He shut power off the machine and the Z dropped on him overnight also everynight.
Bizarre, since if they ever went the wrong way bad things would have happened.

I am contemplating on what to do, but I have another issue I will make another post here in a sec.

IF I set the jogging for say 600IPM on the slider in axis to move it closer to the home position, then I home all,

IT goes through and homes all no problem but after the home all, I cannot jog any faster than the default jog. Even if I move the slider.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

If it worries you that the machine may be jogged the wrong way when trying to get off the hard limit. It would be worth your time and effort to wire the + and - limits separately on thier own inputs into Linuxcnc. I am pretty sure that Linuxcnc will restrict movement in the direction of the sensed limit and only allow the machine to be jogged away from it.

As to your jogging feed rate question, I don't know. What are your settings in your ini file?

I guess I am going to have to wire them in Linuxcnc. Problem is the Z is a bitch to get at. but oh well.
I am not aware that it will change after homing. I cannot find any docs that discuss that point.

This is in the ini file

I think its MAX_VELOCITY in Axis section.

That is set to 1 which is inches per second, and after homing thats what it is doing which is 60 inches per minute.

I have Y moving in the correct direction and the dro show correct however in the axis display it shows going in the opposite direction and the -25 should be 25. I am trying to find the error in the ini but cannot.

Screenshot?
Was it homed before you did that? Does the tool on screen also move in the right direction? Do you have any offsets active? Where is the Y axis home in the ini? It ahould be set at 0, usualy.

Definitely looks like something in the ini, Y 0 should be down, near the X 0.
How did you manage that???

I actually think this might be a misunderstanding.

XYZ positive and negative are all from the point of view of the tool relative to the work.
