program exceeds machine maximum

Hi, this is my first post outside of the Ethercat section.

I'm getting beat up by a z axis travel limitation, although I did somehow get the program to run once. My understanding of the problem is that my g54 is in the wrong spot. 

Fusion 360 says the max Z height is 0.6", so I moved my Z axis almost all the way up, then set the G54 Z position to 0.6". I did have the program run once, but then I stopped the program. When I go to re run the program I keep getting the same z axis error.

I've attached some phone pictures.

   

I have my MAX-Z-LIMIT set at 20mm & MIN-Z-LIMIT set at -255

Usually when I run a program, as I set home and stuff like that manually I'd home to a mark on the column, then bring the tool down to a height of 6.35mm above the stock, set by a pin, touch off at that height. Which sets the Z zero on the stock.

Almost all CAM software expects the Z axis maximum at 0 or theirin, while the minimum is set at -200 or whatever the Z travel is, you have that reversed in the ini file.

I got the program running.

I’ll have to sit down with some math and figure out the WHY, but the HOW is I set g54 z to two extreme values and worked my way inside those values until I didn’t get either a negative error or a positive error. 

I think the final value was 3.75 or something. 

I believe the required z travel for my program is just inside the soft limits. 

thanks for all the help. It’s nice to be making chips.
