Marty,
So I selected screw terminal cycled CNC12 and I have motor movement back! YES!!! Thank you. I don't get it I did change that a couple of times but it had no effect?
Question is before I did that I did not uncheck the enable box in the advanced tab. it is currently active. SO do I need to uncheck it now, as I said there is no output for enabled that I know of. In my lathe configuration, the enable box Is not checked.
If you do not have ENAble connected to the drive, changing it will have no effect

Can you give me input on how to set up my rotary? Its working but I'm not sure how to set it up. What direction should it run and do I set a travel limit, should it home at 0 on the scale I guess right? Any input would be helpful.
You provide no information on the rotary table, no pictures, no specs (What is the worm gear ratio?) does it have a home switch or no?
More info please. Tom explained the rotation.
Marty

I need to collect the specs on the rotary. I will have a home switch (if I can find it) that seemed to miss placed the mount. but will get this info together and ask the guys at Sherline what the worm ratio is.

72:1

72/360=.2 would be the overall turns ratio
Change the Axis to ROTARY
Read the Acorn Installation Manual:

Not sure how you are going to setup a repeatable home switch on that small table.
You can manually Jog the rotary axis before setting home.

Thank you for the info Marty much appreciated. I have the Sherline limit switch kit here is it installed. So A+ direction is Counter clockwise and A- is clockwise Is that correct?

A+ is clockwise when looking in the positive X direction

I do have enable circuit wired to my drives, the same wiring as your Emco build. So just want to confirm If I leave the enable checkboxes under advanced checked or turn them off?
