    Update Mach 3 2.62 to 3.042 version - LIMIT SWITCH doesn't run

    Hello friends.

    I build a CNC with a version 2.62 CNC Mach 3 software, now I have updated the machine to the 3.042.020 version Mach 3 but with the same controller and connections now I have the following problem:

    CONFIG SWITCH.- I share the same 5 switch for home limits and limit works (2 for X axis, 2 for Y axis a nd one for Z axis).

    Before with the 2.62 version Mach3 the Auto home function ran good and also the limits switches, now since I updated the version to Mach 3 3.042.020 the Auto home return run good if I press 'REF ALL HOME' but the switches doens't run in a working proccess if I press any switch.

    X HOME and Limits switch are plugged into 15 port

    Y HOME and Limits switch are plugged into 13 port

    Z HOME and Limits switch are plugged into 12 port

    IN Auto detect process in Config ports, when I start the proccess the system recognize all the switches. But in working progress the limits switches doesn't run.

    Please help. Thanks.

    I have revised in Diagnostics screen and when I press limits switch the green led lights on :

    Press X limits switch..... lights on the M1++LImit M1--Limits M1 Home (at the same time the three lights)
    Press Y limits switch.....lights on the M2++LImit M2--Limits M2 Home (at the same time the three lights)

    I think that all this is ok,
