I am wondering about the train of logic that happens when in jog mode, and the soft limit is hit. The CAMsoft CNC professional controller issues its own logic and then reads the softlimits.fil logic (if any is present). But, the stickler is, that when the softlimit is hit, then the logic in the Jog.fil gets thrown out of whack, instead of completed normally, or so it would seem.

I have reduced rates of axis movement for use in jog mode, which get reset back to standard Rapid speed when exiting jog in a normal fashion. But, in the "softlimits get hit" scenario, the Rapid speed ends up equalling the jog speed.

Here is my jog file logic. Any ideas?

~@~JOG.FIL
'This logic gets read once when the jog icon is toggled on and once more when jog is toggled off
IF\555=1THENGOTO :BEGINJOG
IF\555=0THENGOTO :LEAVEJOG
:BEGINJOG
'saving relative position before jogging
MACHHOME1 \50
MACHHOME2 \51
IF{\114+\115}<2THENGOTO :EXCEPTNOW 'skip the point save if machine is jogged during homing routine
TOGGLE 4;ON;PTSAVED :\220=1
LABEL2 POSITION SAVED IMMEDIATELY WHEN JOG+RET SWITCH FLIPPED ON;11
BUTTON15 IN; CLICK HERE, MACHINE WILL MOVE TO SAVED POSITION;0
:EXCEPTNOW
ACCEL 1;200000 :DECEL 1;200000 :RAPIDSPEED 1;10000
ACCEL 2;200000 :DECEL 2;200000 :RAPIDSPEED 2;10000 :LABEL1 JOGGING SPEEDS ENABLED :EXIT
:LEAVEJOG
ACCEL 1;101376 :DECEL 1;153600 :RAPIDSPEED 1;\201 'jog off
ACCEL 2;101376 :DECEL 2;153600 :RAPIDSPEED 2;\202 :LABEL1 JOGGING SPEEDS CANCELLED

We have an answer that will get your RAPIDSPEED back to normal.

During a jog if a softlimit position is crossed the system will stop but will also abort jog and the logic running also, therefore the logic in the JOG.FIL file wouldn't finish.

There is also a SOFTLIMITS.FIL file that will run whenever a softlimit gets hit. Here you can reset RAPIDSPEEDs or any parameters back to normal.
