I stumbled in here looking for the travel limit problems. Should it distinguish between mm and inches automatically? I ask b/c it seems if a metric file is loaded is says travel limits exceeded when the limits are in inches but the travel in mm. Obviously 80mm is not very far, but 80 inches is quite far.
It knows when you start the machine and hit home. The machine will move to say X left until it hits the limit/home switch. Once it hits that switch it looks at the setting you told it in the (software Travel limits ) section X = 20" in this video.. your machine might be different. It will only let the machine move 20" to the right from the limit/home switch. Personally, I would still use a limit switch at the other end just in case I do something wrong and the machine runs off the end... The motors I have a very powerful and would run right off the end of the machine and out the geroge without a limit switch,
One question Martín. What happen when the accorn software when the electricity Is lost during the machining process? The cero piece Is keeped? What happend in this Situation AND what Is the process after happen this?
With Acorn if there was s an outage or a crash, restart computer and Acorn, re-home the machine and either restart the part or use the search feature and start from a program line or tool number closest to where it stopped

Would proximity sensor work same as limit switch?
Yes, preferred over a mechanical limit switch. Make sure it is NPN 24vdc NC

Please post your question to the Centroid Acorn User's forum with a fresh report
i dont have limit switches so im not sure what to select, although i do have the wire run since its normally closed circuit.
If you are going to jog and set home, use Simple Home in the Wizard
Why is that only 1 homing switch is required per axis? How does it know its limit of travel on the other end

can i set up the homing and limit with the same micro switch?
Yes. Assign the the input HomeLimit
