Limit switchs will not turn off

We are using PXI 1031 with NI Motion Assistant and the Measurement and Automation Explorer. Our limit switchs are always reading active, and when we go into Axis Configuration to try and change thigns, something is creating an update loop that prevents us from changing any of the default confiurations. Any suggestions on either the update problem or the limit switch issues? Probing the limit switches shows good performance 0V-4.8V off/on, so it is not the hardware.
Thanks,
Aaron
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What is the motion controller that you are using?
We can try to go into Measurement and Automation Explorer, expand your particular motion device, go to Motion I/O Settings and disable all limit swithces and initialize to see if the limit switch will be turned off.

  • HT1320 my ipod nano is stuck in the lock position, my  hold switch will not turn off even when I move it, I have restored it and it came back on in the hold position

    My ipod naaIno is stuck in the lock position, my hold switch will not turn off even when I move it.  I have tried restoring it and resetting it and it still comes back on in the hold/locked postion.  It will only play when placed on a docking station and then I cant scroll to pick songs, I can only go to next song using buttons on docking station.

    You will need to have the hold switch replaced.

  • PXIe-1075 Power switch will not turn off chassis

    Hi,
    I think I am having trouble turning my PXIe-1075 chassis off with the front mounted power switch. When I press the power switch, the green LED will ficker and the PWR LED on my PXIe-8360 MXI card will flicker from green to red and then back to green. I have a PXI-1042 chassis as well that seems to turn off properly. The switch on my PXI-1042 chassis has two positions, but the switch on my PXIe-1075 only seems to have one position. I am in a spot where I will need to power off my chassis to move it occasionally. Does it sound like my PXIe-1075 chassis has an issue? Am I missing something? I also tried holding the power switch. This will cause all the installed modules active light to turn off, but the PWR light on the switch and the PWR light on the MIX card will stay the same.

    Hello,
    The 1075 has two modes for shutdown.  You can select between the modes with the 'inhibit' switch on the back of the chassis.  When this switch is in the default position, the chassis will power down when you shut down the controller in the chassis (I'm not sure if it will automatically power down with the MXI connection when you shutdown the PC- I do not believe it will).  When the switch is in the manual position, the chassis does not shut down with the controller and you must use the Inhibit signal on pin 5 of the Remote Inhibit and Voltage Monitoring connector.  I believe your chassis is in 'Manual' mode.  More information on this is available in the manual on page 2-12:

    I do not think that the power button on the front can be used to power off the chassis.

  • MSI z77A-G43 - After Shutdown - Fans will not turn off

    Just installed a new MSI Z77A-G43 Motherboard for my husband since his old motherboard died. The one thing I've noticed though is that the fans will not turn off after I do a shutdown and I'd have to do a manual shut down instead. Any ideas what could be happening? Also it will randomly restart when not shutdown completely with the fans still on.
    Here are the specs of the PC.
    MOBO: Z77A-G43
    Processor: Intel i5 - 2500k Quad Core
    Video Card: Geforce - GT 610
    Ram: 8 Gigs
    Hard Drive - 128gb ssd and 1.5 tb hdd
    It's really barebones since I'm trying to just get it to run then get it back to normal working order with the next pay check
    EDIT!!!!::
    Forgot OS is Window 7 Ultimate X64

    If you are sure that your CPU is seated properly and that the PWM fan connector is seated correctly, then you may want to test with another known working PSU. I am not saying that your PSU is faulty, but before exhanging the board, I would definitely test that as well.
    EDIT: Just a question, did you disconnect the power switch and the other front panel connectors of your case and started the PC by shorting the Power switch [pins 6 and 8 on JFP 1]with a screw driver tip ? The remote possibility exits that the cables may have been connected incorrectly or may have a short.

  • My shuffle will not turn off

    I purchased a shuffle this past August and have had no issue with it. I went on vacation and it did not get used for a week. I then synced up and let it charge, went on my daily run. When I tried to turn it off, the songs kept playing. The unit will play until the battery is dead and will not turn off.
    Any suggetions?

    If it really is a 1st Gen shuffle the switch sometimes breaks or gets crud in it preventing contact in some of its positions... The slide can be removed and contact cleaner can be sprayed inside.

  • Ipod shuffle green statuslight will not turn off

    Dear
    I tried several times to reset my ipot shuffle,
    and to install new from the original ipod CD.
    In itunes there is no problem, Ican see the ipot in the list, and there is no failure.
    But when I disconnect it, and turn it on with the switch,
    the green status led on the front is lightning, and it will
    not turn off.
    When I push buttons, there is no response.
    Before this failure, the green status light went out
    after 3 seconds when switch on.
    what can I do?
    I dont feel like wasting my time trying to get it
    running again. What I need is a clear discribtion
    what to do, because I did find nothing with this
    sympthom.
    Cheers A.O.

    I have the same problem. It happend when I deleted and reinstalled the Itunes software. The software installation ask to "format" the Ipod, the applcation crashed and since then I can download music in the Ipod, I can see it connected to Itune and to My Computer, but I cannot use it to listened to music by itself. The green light doesn't turn off and nothing happen.
    What sould we do?

  • Ipod will not turn off, no longer recognized

    iPod asked to update to latest software.  Upload failed and ipod left in state where it will not turn off, and is no longer recognized in itunes or as a device.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod nano firewire error and will not turn off! PLEASE help

    I am having the exact same problem as I see may of you unfortunate Apple users are. I am receiving the error message about firewires and I have never used one. The nano will not turn off and I have to let the battery run out. The play/pause function works perfectly fine, but not to turn off the nano. The sleep function does not do anything either. I am so disappointed with Apple because they would not help me on the phonbe since it is well past my first 90 days of ownership. I may have gotten a single drop of water on it, but that was about 2 weeks ago, and still having the same problems. I don't know what to do, but I see that Apple has gotten mighty rich off of their JUNK products! Anyone out there, help me please!

    Do a reset.  You will not lose any data: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If this does not help resore from a backup.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Lastly try restoring to factory settings.
    If none of this works, it's probably a hardware problem.  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your Apple store.  You are under warranty and they will fix or replace it on the spot.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer

  • Web sharing starts but will not turn off

    I have enabled web sharing and been running successfully for a long time, recently upgraded to Lion.
    The problem I have now is that I can turn Apache on through the Web Sharing prefs but it will not turn off, technically that not true as the instance is killed off but something is restarting the httpd processes (new pid's). As far as the Pref pane is concerned Apache is off (un checked box), though in reality, a new instance is running.
    The only way to turn it off is by su apachectl stop.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Adam.

    Have you tried to hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so, until you see a silver apple. See if you can get it to reboot.
