Re-initialization jumper (Factory Reset)
The E3 jumper is used to reset the Turbo PMAC Clipper back to factory default settings, global reset.
Caution
Issuing a SAVE after power up (with the E3 jumper) will
permanently erase any user configured parameters.
Re-initialization instructions: Power down the unit. Install the E3 jumper, then power back up. The
factory default parameters are now restored from the firmware EEPROM into the active memory. Issue a
SAVE and a $$$ to maintain this configuration.
Watchdog Timer
On a Turbo PMAC Clipper, the watchdog timer trigger illuminates the red WD LED and interrupts
communication. It occurs if any of the following applies:
PMAC CPU over-clocked:
In this mode, the CPU signals that is has been overloaded with computation and cannot
accomplish tasks in a timely manner. e.g. bad programming such as an infinite loop, or too much
computation (Kinematics) requiring faster CPU option.
Wrong clock settings:
In this mode, the user has downloaded or written bad values to clock setting parameters.
Logic power 5V failure:
In this mode, the 5V logic power supply has failed. Check and monitor the 5VDC power.
Downloading wrong configuration file (I4900):
In this mode, the user has reloaded a configuration file uploaded from a 4-axis unit (Servo IC 1
parameters set to zero) into an 8-axis unit, thus writing zero to the second Servo IC clock
parameters. Commenting out variables I7100…7106 (or forcing them to hold the same values as
I7000…I7106) eliminates the watchdog problem.
