All axes are frozen (i.e. will not move for some reason) but CAN be moved manually
Scenario
- All Axes will not move via interface or when running an NC file.
- Receives multiple "M-x Position error, no power to controller. Re-enable controller?", circular error
Possible Causes
- 1) It is possible the router's controller is simply not powered up.
- 2) The SCSI cable, for some reason, is not making the required connection between the PC to the controller.
- 3) The Computer card is either not functioning or not properly installed
- 4) The Controller mainboard is not functioning.
Solution
- 1) Turn the router's Controller "ON", and verify that ALL the controller's LED lights are "Lit" and the controller is "ON"
- 2) Clean and re-seat the SCSI connector, starting with the end connecting to the PC. Test the cable for continuity with a multimeter.
- 3) Check Device Manager and verify PCI card is working. If not, reinstall driver and/or re-seat the card in the PCI slot.
- XP: Right-click "My Computer", click "Properties", click "Hardware" tab, click "Device Manager" button.
- Vista and Windows 7: Click "Start Button", click "Control Panel", click "Device Manager"
- 4) If you suspect the controller mainboard is not functioning properly, contact Techno's Technical Support department.
