Hi, I have a problem with a Microturn, when I send the machine to home pisition this moves in the opposite direction in both axes, the problem arose due to change PC, as it damages the motherboard of the PC earlier. I installed the software and the surprise is not going home, away from home (goes to the chuck), if I press the home switches, the current position is saved as home but the directions of the axes are inverted. if I press the lefth arrow key the Z-axis moves in the opposite direction marking a negative trend, the same thing happens with X.
A photograph of the machine appears at the address below.

axis movement in opposite direction in Microturn

Thanks for the idea but it did not work, I had inverted terminals black and orange in both steppers moters, when I send the machine to home, it arrives at the switch but never released (not save the position of home) and sometimes goes to the chuck. Any other idea?
I think that the problem can be the parameters, I understand that they are on file fanucml.opt, but I don’t know each one of them and if they are correct
