Is there a way to make a rotary table "B-Axis" only turn counter clockwise?
It must turn clockwise to home.
I want to be able to jog/mpg in both directions,
But,
when programmed, I would like it to only rotate CCW
Thanks,
Cheers

if it is 4th axis the parameter for direction of the motor is 8422,if it is 5th axis the parameter is 8522.
if you have 111 you have to make it -111

First of all those parameters are for a Fanuc 0 control NOT yours. Second of all, It will change which direction the motor goes when you command positive or negative meaning that when you jog plus it will go minus and visa versa. I am guessing you have backlash issues. You can use a dial indicator and adjust parameter 1851to lower the amount of backlash in the table. or you can use single direction programming See attached.

I still cant make this happen. (rotary table turn CCW only)
I was on the phone with Fanuc for 1 hour, they could not help me either.
They wanted to send out a Tech to fix it for me.

Try making parameter 1008 bit 0 a zero and 1009 bit 2 a zero. This will turn off your rollover for the rotary axis. Then you can command negative move beyond the 360 degree mark and continue going in the negative direction.
