4.8.3 Diagnostic Codes
The following codes are used primarily when diagnosing a problem with the machine. To
get to any of these codes go to Service Codes, press “C” and press the code you wish to
view.
4.8.3.1 Code 54: Program Continuous Run
This Code runs a program continuously without
stopping for tool change commands.
It is helpful in running a long period to identify an intermittent problem.
1.
Prepare a program as you normally would.
2.
Press
MODE
,
SET UP
,
“C”
,
Code 54
,
INC SET
. The program run will start automatically.
3.
Press
STOP
to stop, and
GO
to continue.
4.8.3.2 Code 81: Keyboard Test
This code is used to check if the keyboard is functioning correctly. It allows you to
test each key on the pendant individually. When you press the keys, the
corresponding box for that key will highlight on the screen. The pendant will also
beep, indicating that the key is working correctly. If one of the keys does not work
the pendant assembly may need to be replaced. If none of the keys are working
chances are that the computer module will need to be replaced.
4.8.3.3 Code 131: Manual DRO
A manual diagnostic routine to check the motor encoder and table encoders. Turn
the X hand wheel to display the encoder readings. This code will display the actual
DRO counts and the raw encoder counts before the calibration and backlash factors
have been factors into the counts.
4.8.3.4 Code 132 - Electronic Hand Wheel Test
Turn the X or Z-axis electronic hand wheel. The display should show movement as
the hand wheel is being turned. There should be no skipping and it should count
smoothly while the hand wheel is being turned. One revolution of hand wheel should
read 10.2 mm for Z and 2.54 mm for X in course mode and 2.54 mm for Z and 0.51
mm for X in fine mode.
4.8.3.5 Code 133 – Spindle Encoder Test
Turn the spindle or run the spindle at low RPM’s. The display should show the
counts from the spindle encoder. It should count to 360 on the Z display and then
reset. Each time it resets it displays the number in the X display area.
4.8.3.6 Code 314: Toggle Test Lights ‘ON’ in Status Line
This code toggles on and off 2 test lights that appear in status line. The top light
signifies if the master software is working. If functioning it should flash a green light.
The bottom light signifies if the slave firmware is functioning. It will appear orange
in run mode when it is processing information. Pressing the mode key will change
this orange box to black. The orange box will also change to black when the
program you are running reaches the 3
rd
event from the end of the program. If the
firmware is locked up no keys will work. This code is useful for diagnosing
intermittent problems with the control locking up.
4.8.3.7 Code 319: Error Log
This code when turned on captures the commands that were sent to the servo
system. It includes items such as positioning commands, errors, stop and go
