Fails to do homing. Kflop + Konnect.

Hello. I can't produce a homing action. Please help.

I'm using Kflop and Konnect. Kflop via Jp4 is connected to Konnect. Three axes are connected to JP7 Kflop.
Three inductive sensors are connected through Konnect. Sensors are connected to 1024 1025 and 1026 pin.

When I press the Homming button the axis starts to move, but there is no stopping when pin1024 is triggered.
The LED light lights up on the most inductive sensor and the LED light on the Konnect (pin 1024) board lights up. But the axis continues to move without paying attention to the signal with pin1024. The axis may be hit at extreme position if you do not have time to press the stop button.

I haven't been able to solve this problem for several days. Please help.

Hi Bambarmiya,

There is a 3 second delay after Bit 1024 is sensed before stopping:

Delay_sec(3.00);

remove it.

Thank you Tom for paying attention to this problem.

The fact is that before, when I found this error - this line with a pause in the code was not. I specifically added this line myself - I tried to find where this code does not work. I forgot to delete this line in the first post. This pause does not play a role - the error is still available.

The axis still continues to move without stopping and does not respond to pin1024.

Hi Bambarmiya,

Without the delay there seems to be other errors.

This should move positive to the switch and begin to start stopping (but not stop)

Code:

---

            Jog(2,260);                       
            while (ReadBit(1024)) ;           
            Zero(2);                         
            Jog(2,0);

---

This will then continue to move 1000 positive further into the limit and stop. You probably intended negative? Would this go past the sensor? Hit the hard stop?

Code:

---

MoveAtVel(2,1000, 160);       
while (!CheckDone(2)) ;

---

This will continue to move positive until sensor is detected. If past the sensor it would go forever.

Code:

---

Jog(2,160);
while (ReadBit(1024)) ;       
Zero(2);                       
Jog(2,0);

---

This code has an error and will be ignored as a negative velocity magnitude is specified. To move negative specify a negative distance not velocity,

Code:

---

            MoveAtVel(2,1000, -160);       
            while (!CheckDone(2)) ;

Hello Tom. Your explanations helped to understand some points, and I also found something that needs to be changed.
