Hi all,
I'm using some proximity sensors as home switches and they have been giving me fairly consistent positioning (their accuracy are about within +/- 0.02mm so I think that's pretty good although I've seen some that can hold even tighter tolerance).
Instead of using limit switches I plan on setting up the travel limits in my configuration file. I think these soft limits rely on the home sensors positioning to work properly, is that correct? In this case, would it be more fail safe to have a NC or NO proximity sensors (used as home switch only)? I understand that for limit switch they should always be NO to be safer, but I think my case is a little different and want to know if someone can give me some advice.
As mentioned I use them as home switches only. Actually I have tried setting them up as home/limit shared but it would cause error saying " joint [x] on limit switch error" every time I tried homing. So the only way I've been able to home the machine is by setting up the sensors as Home switch only.
