External E-Stop Request

Post by KIDTech »

I have been getting this quite often on my machine during random cuts. I've learned that if I go into ports/pins and switch the E-Stop setting to high, hit apply then switch back to low it will stop doing it. Anyone have any clue or advice for this? Thanks in advance, I have read quite a bit on it but nothing that has really helped.

I assume you are getting an "E" stop fault if so when you get a fault on the table computer look on the diagnostic page to see what is lit showing the fault. Look at Input signals current state look at the "M + or M- or M home" they all should be out when cutting. If you don't see any lights on it may be a false fault caused my noise on your system. Go to the configure tab and click on the General Config to open that page. over in the top right there is a box with Input Signal Debouncing/Noise rejection. Put a value of about 500 to 1000 in each box then click on OK.

Finally was able to mess with my machine today and did some serious looking. Found a wire solder broke from the z motor. Fixed it and the e stop error has gone away. Thanks for the help.
