Wiring Multiple Endstops in Parallel or Series with Duet 6XD

moth4017

@developeralgo222 each sensor will need its own input on the 6Xd do you have enough spare inputs ?

dc42

@developeralgo222 if they are NPN normally open ones then you can connect the outputs in parallel.

They are NPN sensors. i have about 6 inputs left and i might use those for the Solenoid Valves , i think i might need extra inputs if that's the case. Any way of adding extra inputs apart from getting another 3HC board

@developeralgo222 Do you have only one motor on the Y axis? If so, you may as well wire both X axis endstops in parallel, and all four Y axis endstops in parallel, and only use two inputs.
If you do have two motors on the Y axis, driven by separate drivers, you can use the endstops for squaring the Y axis, and you would wire only the pair of Y endstops on the same motor together in parallel.

Most of the time you want the switches defined as physical limit switches, which pause the machine when triggered. Define these in config.g.

You would create two triggers, one for X and one for Y, in config.g, and set them to pause the machine, eg:

; Triggers
M950 J1 C"io1.in"  ; define input 1 pin
M950 J2 C"io2.in"  ; define input 2 pin
M581 T1 S1 P1:2 S1 R0 ; invoke trigger 1 (pause) when an inactive-to-active edge (correct for NO switches) is detected on input 1 or input 2 at any time

See M950 and M581 for parameters.

Then, when homing, redefine them as endstops. Homing can then be done to either end of the axes, though either max OR min will have to be used in homeall.g. You can set up a macro for the other end, if you want.

In homeall.g (and other homing macros), it would look something like:

M950 J1 C"nil" ; undefine X axis limit switch triggers
M950 J2 C"nil" ; undefine X axis limit switch triggers

M574 X1 S1 P"io1.in" ; define X axis endstop, minimum end
M574 Y1 S1 P"io2.in" ; define Y axis endstop, minimum end

[normal homing routine for X and Y axis in here]

M574 X0
M574 Y0

M950 J1 C"io1.in"
M950 J2 C"io2.in"

Wires connecting normally-open endstop switches are susceptible to capacitive interference pickup, in particular from nearby stepper motor cables but to a lesser extent from heater and fan cables, which may cause false triggering. You can mitigate this to some extent by using shielded cable to connect the normally-open endstop switch, or lower value pullup resistors.

I'm going to add the above set up example to the Triggers page, here: https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Tuning/Triggers

@droftarts , i only have 1x Nema 34 Closed Loop Motor for X-axis and 1x Nema 34 Closed Loop Motor for Y-axis. i.e Each Axis has only a single Motor.

i will now try as per @droftarts , To wire both X axis endstops in parallel, and all four Y axis endstops in parallel, and only use two inputs

Here my Schematic for the parallel Connections for the Endstops , is this correct as per your description ?

X-Axis Endstops parallel connections

Y-Axis Endstops parallel connections

Having an issue with Panasonic Photo Sensors PM25 used as endstops(i have 2 PM25 connected in parallel for X-axis to act a single endstop and 4 x PM25U connected in parallel for Y-axis) .

Can't seem to figure out where the main issue is located ? Should i wire all the Power inputs (Brown Wires) from Sensors to a 24V ( since required Supply Voltage is 5 - 24V +/- 10% ) and GND (Blue Wires) directly to a 24V PSU instead of 5V being supplied by Duet 6XD 5V_EXT. I tried it ealier but it didn't resolve my issue

@developeralgo222 Maybe it would have been easier to test it with one endstop on X and one on Y, to get the homing working correctly, before wiring them all together!

However, there is an error in your config.g. You CANNOT define both the triggers AND the endstops in your config.g. One or the other. (Edit: it looks like I didn't make this clear in my earlier explanation, sorry!) I would define the triggers. If your run your config.g by using M98 P"config.g" (does this still reboot the 6XD? I think you said it did before) you will see an error, something like Error: M574: Pin 'io[x].in' is not free, which basically says the pin is not available as it is already defined.

Your homing macros should define the endstop pins, after the triggers have been undefined. Apart from within the macro, you won't have X and Y endstops. Which is fine, because unless you actually call a homing move, endstops are ignored and the limits set by M208 are used as soft limits. And the triggers are there to catch the axis if they have skipped steps, and end up going to the endstops.

I think you are just changing io ports used for X and Y endstops/triggers, as it looked like you had defined the wrong ones for the endstops, ie io1 and io2 for triggers and io0 and io1 for endstops.

@droftarts
i did define the wrong pins. The correct pins are

0.io0.in for X-Axis, Defined as Trigger 1 Pin 1
0.io1.in for Y-axis, Defined as Trigger 1 Pin 2

I am able to move the X and Y-axis to homing points except the triggers or Endstops were not working correctly. I will update as per your advice and comment out the endstop lines for X and Y axis in the config.g and just leave Trigger 1 then test again

@droftarts , Does this look correct to you ?

@droftarts , @dc42
On the DWC console , when i send

M98 P"config.g"

i get "connection Interrupted HTTP request timed out" error with connection Lost, attempting to reconnect message and it disconnects DWC completely and i have to reboot manually. It does not even reboot or reset itself. Is that a bug on the RRF Software ? It seems it completely locks out Duet 6XD and i have to manually turn off the power and then power it back on. Even M112 does not reset it . Any reason why it would do that from the config.g ?
I am running RRF 3.4.6

Below is my current Full config.g

@developeralgo222 are you saying that it boots up OK and you can connect with DWC; but if you try to re-run config.g using M98, you lose the DWC connection?

If that's the case then I think it's most likely to do with the triggers. Try commenting out the M581 line(s) in config.g.

BTW you don't need to switch those inputs between being endstops and GpIn ports for triggers, because a trigger can monitor endstops as well as GpIn pins. See the line starting "X, Y Z or any..." at https://docs.duet3d.com/en/User_manual/Reference/Gcodes#m581-configure-external-trigger.

droftarts

@developeralgo222 I think your config.g crashing predated adding the triggers, but as @dc42 says, triggers in RRF 3.01 and later can read the endstop without redefining it as a trigger (older versions can't, and need to be redefined). Sorry I didn't spot this, it's been a while since having to set up endstops as limit switches! Comment out or delete the M950 J1 and J2 lines, add the endstop M574 X1 and Y1 commands back in, and change the trigger command to M581 T1 X Y S1 R0.

Some other things to try:

You have M17 very early in config.g, before any of the axes are assigned. I suggest moving to the end, or don't have it at all. The motors will all turn on as soon as one axis is commanded to move.

Your X axis limits are strange, I think swap them over, or maybe it should be M208 X1575 ... S0.
Also, your other limits:

; Axis Limits
M208 X0 Y0 Z-160 U-160 V-160 W-160 A-160 B-160  C0 D0 'A0 'B0 'C0 'D0 S1	; Set axis minima
M208 X-1575 Y2125 Z0 U0 V0 W0 A0 B0 C180 D180 'A180 'B180 'C180 'D180 S0	    ; Set axis maxima

I'm not even sure axis ranges should be from -[nnn] to 0, but I don't see why not. On a CNC machine, you have machine coordinates, and then work coordinates. This article looks like it covers this (and RRF supports) https://mhcc.pressbooks.pub/supportcnc/chapter/g54-g59-an-introduction/
It looks like OpenPNP is similar: https://github.com/openpnp/openpnp/wiki/Machine-Axes

The rest is mostly setting up the endstop triggers, endstops. However, you have setup all the sensors and valves with M558, which is used for defining probes! I think the sensors should be set up with M950 as inputs:

M950 J1 C"!2.io3.in"   ; Duet 3 3HC CAN_ID 2 Port 4- Vacuum Sensor Nozzle 1
M950 J2 C"!2.io4.in"   ; Duet 3 3HC CAN_ID 2 Port 5- Vacuum Sensor Nozzle 2
[etc]

with each input having a unique J[nn] parameter. Make sure the number doesn't clash with the triggers, though I expect you will replace these with endstop definitions.

The valves should be outputs, again set with M950, with unique P[nn] parameter:

M950 P1 C"!0.io3.in"   ; Duet 3 6XD CAN_ID 0 Port 4- Pump and Vacuum Solenoid Valve for Nozzle 1
M950 P2 C"!0.io4.in"   ; Duet 3 6XD CAN_ID 0 Port 5- Pump and Vacuum Solenoid Valve for Nozzle 2
[etc]

Please make these changes, post your updated config.g, and try sending M98 P"config.g" again.

@developeralgo222 You haven't changed the X axis limits; it still shows X0 as the minimum, and X-1575 as the maximum. Either swap them, or remove the minus from X-1575.

Otherwise, looks okay.

@droftarts
when i test it manually according to the right-hand cartesian coordinates . My X-Axis moves Backwards from Home(Right to Left) instead of the Normal Forward ( Left to Right ) , that's why i was using Negative infront of that otherwise it crashes the X-Axis. If you look at the Endpoints and motor placements diagram above , you will see the description

droftarts

@developeralgo222 In that case, change the direction of the motor with the S parameter in M569, eg:

M569 P0.0 S0 T5:5:10:10

Then update the M208 command, and check it goes the right direction.

@droftarts said in Wiring Multiple Endstops in Parallel or Series with Duet 6XD:

yes updated config.g and that fixed X-axis negative max issue

droftarts

@developeralgo222 Okay. Does it still crash when you send M98 P"config.g"?

@developeralgo222 Another snag on homing; I checked with @dc42 if the trigger is ignored on homing moves. He said:

No, you have to deactivate the trigger.
..because after the homing move you need to move away form the endst9p to release it, to avoid triggering

So in your homing macros, rather than disabling the trigger pin and enabling the endstop, you need to disable the trigger itself, while homing. So now the homing macros will look like this:

M581 T1 P-1 ; disable trigger
 
[normal homing routine for X and Y axis in here]
 
M581 T1 X Y S1 R0 ; re enable trigger

@developeralgo222 See my reply before yours. You will need to edit your homing files.

Edit:
Using M950 J1 and J2 in your homing files to refer to limit switches will be messing with these in config.g:

; SMC NPN Vacuum Sensors -ZSE30A-01-N-L (Not Z-Probe)
M950 J1 C"!2.io3.in"   ; Duet 3 3HC CAN_ID 2 Port 4- Vacuum Sensor Nozzle 1
