    Default Need help with XCMCU XC709

    Hello everyone!
    I am trying to start working with my new CNC mill which has XCMCU XC709 standalone controller. It was assembled by previous owner. Everuthing works fine but I would like to improve it.
    First of all it does not react on command G28 G91 Z0, it just skip it. What could be a reason?
    Second: I would like to add "auto tool zero" hardware button and make a script/macro to set tool zero by contact to plate with known thikness. I had it on my previous mill and it was very usefull. Previously I was using MACH3.
    I can connect button to free Port Input, but I don't know how to teach the controller to execute script when I push it.
    Hope somebody can help me.
    Thank You in advance!

    PS I am from Ukraine, so sorry for my english.

    Ok!
    Here is some update: I can live without G28 as new version of postprocessor can deal with G53.
    But I still need an instruction how to add touch probe to this controller. Basically I need an instruction how to run script/macros after pushing HW button.
    Hope somedody can help me.
