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

Re: 'RESET HOME" on VCP does nothing
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.

From MDI you can enter
Code: Select all
M98 "c:\cncm\cncm.hom"
