Configuration probe

Hi,
I am French, and I'm new to using UCCNC software. I have an AXBBE control card, and I need your advice on installing my probe. It has 3 output wires: signal, + and -. I connected it as in the diagram in the AXBBE manual, and my probe seems to work because it lights up green, then red when I create a contact. The problem is that UCCNC does not recognize it. I entered the port to which it is connected, but UCCNC does not detect the probe. I don't know if it's a connection or configuration problem in UCCNC...
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Is Your Probe A PNP or NPN and also IS it Normally Open Or Normally Closed?

Thanks to your interest in my question.
My probe is NPN and NO.
So I have connected in using the diagram on AXBBE for NPN switch. I don't understand what's the problem.
Thanks for your help. ;)

Ok, so for your input logit do you have it set to active low?

Yes, it is.
I have connected the signal from my probe, on l1- and the + to my probe on l1+ ( AXBBE) and 24+ to my powersupply. The - of my probe is on negative of my powersupply.

Update.
UCCNC detect my probe, there is green led on "probe" and "l1" when I connect it, but nothing is happening when I have a contact on my probe.
What's the problem?

If you open the diagnostic screen and activate the probe what happens?
