Faulty Limit Switch

I have inductive switches on my 3XL. Just last night I had a fault. The Y axis limit switch is suddenly on all the time, irrespective of its position. I went to the controller and swapped the X and Y limit switch connectors. The led on the Y axis remained on while the X axis one responded normally with a spanner brought close. So it seems the limit switch or the wiring to it has a problem. I’m assuming that if the wiring was faulty the switch would not come on, but I don’t know exactly how they operate. I emailed support last night but I haven’t heard back yet. Any suggestions?

I would double check that the wire connections to the limit switch are ok, tug lightly on the individual leads at the connectors to see if one has come loose.

I am sure that Support will be with you shortly to guide you through some checks, if there is a fault in the switch or wiring loom they will sort things out for you.

Yes, I’m hoping to hear from Support. It’s been more than 24 hours and it’s unusual for them not to reply promptly.

Thanks Will, I assumed something unusual had happened…
