Machine appears to work fine on X and Z, but have a problem with hydraulic turret, Controller has button for manual turret indexing, it works fine, but gives me alarm(just alarm light on machine controller, no codes on Fanuc screen) for all positions except 1. If turret used thru program command input(like T0303) some times it just gives an alarm right away, sometimes just rotates none stop. Found 1 of 4 proximity switches working inconsistently, replaced but nothing changed. Diagnostic parameter 460 changes values, for each position. Some positions correspond to switches engaged to 460,0 460,1 460,2 460,3 (not sure how to explain this), some don't. Some position only changes value of 460,4 but there only 4 switches. On some forum someone talks about resetting procedure for turret. Any ideas?
It sounds like the proximity switches and its wiring are the most likely problem.
