    Default RW15 stuck on home switches.

    I used my RW15 for the first time in a couple of month yesterday after some trouble getting the monitor to start correctly. Ran parts for the remainder of the day.

    Restarted this morning, same monitor problem, released E Stop, pressed recent drives initialized like normal Homed machine no problem. Turned machine off with all 3 axis at home.

    A few hours later turned machine on, no monitor problem, goes thru entire boot process, familiar aqua colored milltronics interface pops up. I cannot initialize drives, all the tactile buttons work, I can navigate thru all the menus but I cannot get the machine to reset.

    This has happened once before, does anyone no how to overide so I can back the 3 axis off the switches?

    Not 100% certain but I recall reading something about holding down the reset button while jogging.
    Worth a try.

    I thought so also but I seem to remember having to enter a code or something similar.I just so rarely have any issue with this machine

    No code, just hold in the reset button and use jog, not hand wheel or such. Of course you need to be jogging the correct direction.

    I was finally able to clear the issue, had to cut off air supply to machine to cause a fault which would allow me to reset then initialize drives
