List of Configurable Inputs

Any MASSO input can be given a function on the F1-Setup screen, such as a homing sensor, a Cycle Start button, a G-code autoload button or a tool changer sensor. This page lists every function you can assign.

INFORMATION
Input changes, including inverting, are saved automatically. Some button inputs must be held for 1 second before MASSO accepts them, to prevent accidental operation.
INFORMATION
Input 9 has special circuitry for the MASSO DTHC on MASSO G3 and MASSO G3 Touch. If you don't use a DTHC, input 9 can be used for any other function.
