'RESET HOME" on VCP does nothing

Post by ronnie1987 »

working on commissioning my mill. Mahcine homes fine on startup. No issues moving with VCP or pendant. Issue is I have had occations to want to rehome, mostly as a sanity check. Pushing 'RESET HOME' on VCP does nothing. Is this intentionally non-functional after initial homing? If so, that is fine.

Is there a way to run the homing subroutine from the MDI inputs?

Thanks ahead of time,
Mike

Depending on what software version you are running, you may need to check what macro is assigned to that button in the wizard, and/or check the .xml file for that button to see what skin event is assigned.

In the wizard, on the VCP aux keys page, the default macro for aux key 16/skin event 69 is mfunc59.mac, and that macro is for the Reset Home button. This button can be used at anytime.
