AMPVER Fail-Safe Mechanism. Configuration Error, May 2010
In firmware version 1.947 and later, the Servo/Macro IC config. Error bit is set (highlighted) in the Global
Status window if the
ampver
command has internally failed on power-up.
In this scenario, the PMAC does not recognize that it is connected to a Geo Brick power block, and the
amplifier status is not reported properly making the application unsafe.
Motors are not allowed to be enabled in this mode. Recycling power on the Geo Brick Drive may clear
the error, but generally the occurrence of a config. Error implies hardware malfunction/failure.
Note
This error bit could be set due to the loading of a wrong PMAC
firmware file into the Geo Brick Drive. The correct firmware
(regardless of the version number) should be labeled
TURBO2A.BIN
Note
In this mode, the
TYPE
command returns
TURBO2, X4
instead of
the correct
TURBO2, AMP, X4
