10 What to Do If...
The MODELA doesn't operate
Is the STANDBY key on?
Press the STANDBY key.
Has operation not been paused by pressing the VIEW key (lighting up the VIEW LED)?
Press the VIEW key to cancel the View state.
Are the cable connected correctly?
Check the output ports for MODELA and the computer and make sure they are connected correctly.
Is the cable for the connection with the computer suited to the MODELA and the computer?
- For the cable, use a optionally available serial cable (such as XY-RS-34). A straight serial cable such as is commonly used
to connect a modem cannot be used.
Are the settings for the computer and the software correct?
Check the following and make the correct settings.
Data output port : Port connected to any one of COM1 through COM4
Communication parameters : Bit rate of 9,600, no parity, one data bit, stop bit 8, and hardware handshaking
Selected output device : MDX-15 or MDX-20
Pressing the STANDBY key does not switch off the power
Unplug the AC adapter from the unit.
The MODELING MODE LED or SCANNING LED Flashes Rapidly (Ten Times Per Second)
Was the power switched on in the correct sequence?
First turn on the computer, then turn on MODELA.
This indicates a communications error.
Switch off the power, then check the cable connections and the port setting for the driver.
Was the computer restarted?
When the computer has been restarted, switch the power to the MODELA off, wait a few seconds, then switch it back on.
All LEDs Flash Slowly (every 0.5 sec.)
Has the cord come loose from the spindle unit or the sensor unit?
Switch off the power and reconnect the cords to the jacks.
Errors During Cutting
Speed drops during cutting
When cutting a workpiece of uneven hardness, such as wood, the MODELA may slow down automatically (to a minimum speed
of 0.1 mm (0.00394 in.) /sec.). Once the MODELA has gone beyond the hard area, cutting continues at normal speed.
The STANDBY LED is flashing slowly (every 0.5 sec.)
The workpiece cannot be cut, even when the speed is reduced. Switch the power off and back on.
Make sure the cutting tool being used is appropriate for the hardness of the workpiece in use. Modify the software settings
to cut the workpiece a little at a time.
Tool movement is different than the data
If an attempt is made to cut more deeply than the range of movement for the MODELA allows, the tool automatically rises
