Mach4 Basics: Homing and Soft Limits

Watch for a breakdown of machine coordinates, work coordinates, homing, zeroing, and setting your soft limits in Mach4. New script to turn on soft limits after homing: --------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ref All Home() function. --------------------------------------------------------------- function RefAllHome() mc.mcAxisDerefAll(inst) --Just to turn off all ref leds mc.mcAxisHomeAll(inst) coroutine.yield() --yield coroutine so we can do the following after motion stops ----See ref all home button and plc script for coroutine.create and coroutine.resume wx.wxMessageBox('Referencing is complete.\nSoft Limits Set.') SetSoftlimits() end ------------------------------------------------------- -- Set Soft Limits ------------------------------------------------------- function SetSoftlimits() for v = 0, 5, 1 do --start, end, increment mc.mcSoftLimitSetState(inst, v, mc.MC_ON) end scr.SetProperty("tbtnSoftLimits", "Button State", tostring(1)) scr.SetProperty("tbSoftLimits", "Button State", tostring(1)) end
