Hi! I am dealing with a slightly unconventional motor setup where two limit switches are used for two motor axes in the following way: -limit switch 1 acts as the high limit for controller 1 and low limit for controller 2 -limit switch 2 acts as the low limit for controller 1 and high limit for controller 2 This means the status of the limit switches of an axis can change even if its motor is stopped. The motor record does not seem to expected a behavior like that - at least not with the Parker PC6K device support. The limits are only updated while the motor is moving. I tried a caput to the STUP field but that didn't have any effect. Is there a way to force the motor record to update the status of the switches? This might also be helpful for simple multi-axis operation with a single home switch. Any help is greatly appreciated, Martin
