Looking for some assistance with the meaning of the above alarm. The Machine is a Mori Sekie SL25B5 with Fanuc 0TC..The machine belongs to one of my customers. He recently experienced alarm PS 101 and made the cardinal sin of deleting all memory rather than just the program memory. The problem as usual is this. He had no backups or any machine manuals. We managed to get a back up from a similar machine which was the same model and control, but the other machine was slightly older going off the serial numbers etc.
Machine has been reloaded with this new back up and seems to be working to a point. Machine references etc, handle/jog seems to work. Can run the spindle and index the Turret in MDI etc. The problem seems to be associated with the manual mode. When you select handle and the multiplier x100 etc, the alarm EX 098 Panel Test Mode pops up on the screen but still allows you to move the selected axis. If you try to do a manual Turret index, the same alarm appears and the Turret does not index? Does anyone know what this alarm is referring to, why it is on or have come across it? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
