alarm 2 soft limit
fre010 opened this issue · 13 comments
Hello,
For the first time I enabled $20=1.
After Homing, my machine is in X=1.5, Y=-1.5 and Z=-1.5. the X axis can travel in + and Y and Z in -.
$130 is 1000.0
$131 is 350.0
$132 is 230.0
After homing i tried G01 X100 F1000 but nothing happens and it goes into ALARM 2.
Any idea what I did wrong or what is the cause?
it works again when I disable $20.
Kind regards

these are my parameters
The Alarm 2 means that you have exceeded the soft limits.
Your command G01 X100 F1000 makes a lot of assumptions of the state of your machine:

Your command
G01 X100 F1000makes a lot of assumptions of the state of your machine:
[GC:G0 G54 G17 G21 G90 G94 M5 M9 T0 F0 S0]
right now there have not been any work offsets made. so basically G54 is [G54:0.000,0.000,0.000]
this is the current position: <Idle|MPos:1.500,-1.500,-1.500|FS:0,0|Pn:PY|WCO:0.000,0.000,0.000>
Well, with those states I think that it should be possible for the machine to move to the absolute position X100. You will have to keep experimenting, I have no idea why it is failing.
I noticed that you Y-limit switch is reporting as triggered Pn:PY.

thanks for the help, i looked at the Y-limit switch, it is not triggered now but still no movement. Weird as I think I did everything as it should be done

could it have something to do wiht the fact that my Y and Z axis can only move in the - direction from the homing sensor?
Just to make sure, after you've homed your machine and standing in front of your machine. Is your spindle positioned to the left?
The machine position for X is wrong here, I think that it should be -998.5:
<Idle|MPos:1.500,-1.500,-1.500|FS:0,0|Pn:PY|WCO:0.000,0.000,0.000>
Can you post the output from $I.
hi, yes, the spindle is left, up and at the back.
this is after homing: <Idle|MPos:1.500,-1.500,-1.500|FS:0,0|Pn:PY|WCO:0.000,0.000,0.000>
this is the $I:
[VER:1.1g.20180813.Mega:]
[OPT:VNM+,35,255]
how can I edit it so it is at -998.5 and not +1.5?

Good, I just wanted to make sure you didn't compile it to work in positive space (HOMING_FORCE_SET_ORIGIN).
how can I edit it so it is at -998.5 and not +1.5?
You shouldn't have to, at least with my test machine it will automatically apply the soft limits when inverting the any homing axis. 🤷🏻

i just homed a few times, sometimes it is at 1.5 and sometimes it is at -998.5. I don't know why it differs.
Do you have a stable USB connection to the controller? No disconnects after homing?
no, it all works fine, once homed, i can do all the g-code programs for hours without problems so I don't think the connection is the problem. just don't have a clue why after homing it sometimes is 1.5,-1.5,-1.5 and sometimes -998.5,-1.5,-1.5
always the X axis, Y and Z haven't changed once.
i think i foud the problem, it was the loose Y sensor, when homing it kept seeing it and that is the reason it was 1.5 for X and not -998.5.
now I adjusted my G54 so that the homing position (-100,0,0) is G54 0,0,0.
so now I assume that if I work in G54, I can go to max 1000, -350, -250?
