The number of limit and home switches

[fred]

Hello All,

I have read all the relevant topics but could not find the exact answer. We want use 2 limit switches (negative and positive sign) and one home switch for each linear axis.

Is it possible?

Hi @fred

Its is possible to include additional limit switches on each axis as you want. You simply have to wire the two limit switches in parallel on each axis so that they feed on a common home sensor input on Masso. However, its better to start simple with a single limit switch and test it out before including more switches. Masso includes soft limit settings that allow the controller to manage the work envelope based on the home position reference so really don't need the extra switches. I've run mine that way for more than 18 months without any issues.

Cheers, Stephen Brown

Thank you @testyourdesign,

This looks logical. We will try that.

thanks @testyourdesign and the rest of the movement direction in which the hard limit was caused will be automatically managed by the controller.
