10.10 Ports and Pins
In the Config drop down menu, the operator can click Ports and Pins, then click the Input
Signals tab to view input signals for all Axes as well as E-Stops.
Bend-Tech uses three different configurations of Mach3. Each version uses its own
combination of Port and Pin numbers. In the case that a machine is fitted with a new Control
Box, the Control Box should match the Mach3 configuration for that machine. This depends
on the age of the machine and when it was produced by Bend-Tech. Bend-Tech does not
recommend reconfiguring any Pin numbers without first consulting a Bend-Tech Service Tech.
Enabled vs. Disabled
Next to each Signal is a red X or green check mark indicating if a specific limit switch is
enabled.
Red X = disabled
Green Check Mark = enabled
Some Axes only have one sensor. In these cases only the location equipped with a limit switch
will show up as a green check mark.
In some cases the limit switch will need to be disabled in order to keep a machine running, or
to diagnose a problem. To do this, click on the red X or green check mark to either enable or
disable a given limit switch. Click OK. Click APPLY.
