Limit switches not stopping machine.

[gregg]

I just found out the hard way that my limit switches are not stopping the machine. They work for zeroing my xy using c3 command. I'm sure I just don't have a setting right. I don't know if this is a new issue or I've been lucky for years
. Using both a move or keyboard command the gantry just sails over stops...switches do light up as they pass over. Suggestions?
Thanks,

look under VN i[N]put switch modes

limits on or off

My options said "std. switch" or "limit switch". Changed to limit and they worked just fine. I don't know that I ever had it set right for the last 8 years! It stopped when running zeroing routine and I must have assumed it would stop as a limit switch. I'm always learing something. My second machine was set up correctly. Thanks for the tip. I had looked at the VN earlier but saw that it was set to standard and didn't bother to dig deeper....Its usually the simple things that get me.
