4.6.4 Cable Breakout Box Connections
The list below describes what takes place through each connection. Power reaches
the cable breakout box through AC IN from the pendant. From there power is
distributed through the system.
Umbilical #1 & Umbilical #2 Ports (To Pendant)
- The lathes have (2)
motor encoder signals, which are communicated between the Encoder module
and the Pendant by use of (2) Umbilical cables. The X signal is communicated
through umbilical #1 and the Z motor signal is transferred through umbilical #2.
Apron Port
- Communication for X & Z-Handwheel and jogstick logic signals
between the Pendant and the cable breakout box.
and Z- servos.
X & Z - Motor Ports
- are used to receive power from the servo and distribute
it to the motors.
X & Z-Motor Encoder Ports
- These ports are used to receive logic signals
from each of the X & Z-Motor Encoders.
Spindle Encoder Port
- The port is used to receive logic signals from the
spindle encoder, when it is engaged for a threading routine.
Logic to Servo (PWM)
- This port is used to keep continuous feedback
between the servos and the cable breakout box.
110 VAC Outlet
- The outlet is for powering up the coolant pump. Beside the
outlet is an LED light signifying power is reaching the pump when it is active, and
a fuse to protect the pump.
E-Stop and Spindle Out Port
- used to disable power to the spindle motor
when the E-Stop is activate.
4.6.5 Cable Connections
The lathe machines use 7+ cables to communicate between systems. It is often the
case that what appears to be the failure of an electrical component is actually
attributable to a poor connection.
Indications:
Control problems, chronic or intermittent.
Motor problems.
Measurement problems.
Explanation:
1.
Turn off and
unplug the system from the wall.
WARNING!
Do not plug and unplug connectors with the system power on. This may cause damage to the
connector board and harm to the technician.
2.
Visually inspect the connections for excessive debris, moisture, or obvious
damage.
3.
Carefully clean any chips away from the connectors.
4.
One-by-one, take out each connector and then plug them back in. Do the same
at the computer/display.
5.
Make sure the screws are tightened on each of the connectors.
