Bridgeport VMC 1000 z-axis homing down to hard stop instead of up to soft limit???!

Hello,

Machine is a Bridgeport VMC 1000 with tnc426.

Had problems with bad connection to estop relays, fixed and checked distributionboard. Also had the servo to the workbench and tested the servobrake when troubleshooting the problem.

Its now fixed. BUT. When I start it up and press cycle start to home Z,Y,X. The Z axis goes down instead of up until it reaches the hard stop. And now its stuck there. Dunno how to move it since this machine does not have a counterweight for the head.

Why is it going in the wrong direction, I have only disconnected the servo drives and distribution relay bord when troubleshooting the error. I'm quite sure I have not moved the servo engine to its rotation to the ballscrew. And even If i did it should not go down towards the table when homing?

Which parameter sets the limitswitch value?

Does it thinks it is to high from limit switch somehow?

Is there a way to move the axis before homing them in tnc426 ?
