I have replaced a Chinese motion controller with a CSMIO/IP-4.

I am using Mach3 with the 2010 screen set. Plugin version 2.581.
I have a couple of issues:-


When probing for Z zero, as soon as probe touches plate I get the error in the attached screen saying - "Moving not referenced axis is not allowed while soft-limits are on!
Please reference machine first, or disable soft-limits"
Note that machine was homed before attempting probing.


Secondly when I exit mach3 and save fixture then restart mach3 (power to CSIMO has not been interrupted) all 4 machine axis are reset to zero, work coordinates remain un affected. this was not the case when using the Chinese controller even on full power down all coordinates were saved and reappeared on start-up.

(I have tried turning off the zero on reset in the controller plugin setup but had no effect)

Thanks,
Carl
