Greetings,
I have a Smithy CNC1240 with a PMDX-110 Breakout Board.
I am using LinuxCNC 2.5.4 with the Smithy INI and HAL files.
I keep getting a "joint 0 on limit switch error" that I cannot determine the cause of.
When I issue an M03 spindle command, the error occurs and the machine stops.
I disconnected the Spindle Control cable and was able to HOME the machine, JOG the machine, and run a program with no spindle commands.
Well, that did not last long as I was able to run a program to completion and when I started it again the machine shut down with the "joint 0 on limit switch error" in the middle of the program.
I was able to run the VFD spindle manually; but, now I get a "Low voltage error" to the VFD control. This is intermittent as it seems when the machine warms up the inability to start the spindle returns.
(Update: The low voltage error is due to the CNC control cutting off power to the VFD, so naturally I would record low voltage error. I have since "hot wired" the VFD direct to the wall socket and it runs fine.)
I have some test meters available to take voltage readings, etc. with guidance.
Hopefully, someone will be able to help me sort this out.
Cheers,
Dave
