I just sent you a sms with my email.

Andy

I sent you a pm.

I tried to attach my Fadal configuration file for Dostek but it says "Invalid file".
If you give me your email in PM I can send it too you.

Cheers,

Andy

Do you mean that when you upload a program to the Fadal, it stops halfway through?
In that case I would suspect you are either using a too long RS232 cable or sending at a too high baud rate.
If...

I use Windows 7 to send and dripfeed to a Fadal with 88hs control.
I use a software called Dostek for all machines in the factory and it works great.
The fadal has its own RS232 port. Some older...

After replacing lots of memory the problem remained. The solution that finally fixed the problem was to run the machine with wide open doors to the control cabinet and placing an industrial fan...

Hi!

This DC spindle drive stopped reversing and braking but otherwise seems to work ok.
There are no alarms. I know the main pcb is to blame as it works fine after testing with another borrowed...

I don't know the mp4 but I did not need to use the mi8 with the ts-27 probe. I would guess you do not need it.

Thanks again for your help!

I was really confused but with some experimentation I found that the 9120 and 9131 parameters are not used on the 10A control.
I know which ram chips to remove / ad...

Ha! The latest problem with not even getting the software to load was my fault.
For some reason I thought inputting options as dec numbers would work:-)
Weird since I have done this zillion times...

Hi Memoryman,

9120 has always had all bits off. I thought that 9110 was for memory and that bit 3 was for 40m and bit 4 was for 80m. On this control 9110 bit 3 was on when I bought the machine but...

Hi guys,

Thanks so much for your help. As of yesterday the situation is a bit different. The control packed up with the usual memory addresses filling the screen but this time the message read...

Oh really? Where is memory for parts program added then and what is the ADD Memory board used for?

Andy

Looking at my A16B-1210-0381 /01A Add Memory board there are only 2 HM6264 P chips but space for 4 chips. I have also seen many of these boards with 4 SRAM chips. Would it be ok to just install two...

That is interesting for sure. I stil have the same problem after replacing all the HM6264 chips on both main board and the Add Memory board. I replaced all LP chips with LP and the P chips with P...

Sorry for late reply! Yes I have full parameters, but I dont think they would work for your machine. Perhaps a start though. Just send me a pm with your email.

Andy

I see. I will give it a go and see how far I get.

All the best,

Andy

Mflux,

Where did you get the bore center finding macro for the MP10 probe?
Or did you write it yourself?
I need to start a program by probing a bore, then have the macro update the work offset...

Yup, you are correct.

The problem was that the correct relay is labeled 110/120V, 24 VDC, 5A and the ones I used were labeled 24VDC, 250V and 3A.
So essentially I had 118VAC feeding the 24VDC...

I pulled a pair of similar relays from an injection molder we are not using. They are the same but are only rated to 3A where the original relay is 5A.
I am getting loud buzzing noise from one of...

Thanks for your reply mflux,
I doubt I can claim the Omron relays should be included since the board is pictured without them at the fadalcnc web site http://www.fadalcnc.com/index.php/pcb-0137.html...

I just got the Fadal 1570-1 3 probe board and the list of fuses, relays and circuit breaker for the 1100-1 pcb.
I have a TS-27R tool length probe with MI8 and an MP12 with OMM and MI12,
The Fadal...

Sorry should have posted how this was fixed. The problem was rats got in and chewed off a couple of wires in the rear duct.

Andy

The spindle RPM comes from the spindle position coder. I just took the belts off and get no rpm running the motor and do get rpm turning the spindle by hand.
I didn't check the live tool spindle at...

But I think the RPM on the screen comes from the spindle position coder and not from the spindle motor pulse generator.
There are actually approx 4 high pitched noises per motor revolution, not...

Hi,

Yes I get RPM in both directions on the lower right on the screen.
Andy

I did check the ring and sensor. Ring looks good and I cleaned the sensor and set the gap to 0.04 mm and checked that the ring did not touch during rotation. Did not help. Will look at pa pb again....

Hi guys,

I have a lathe with a 15kw / 18.5 kw Fanuc AC spindle motor without nameplate from -85.
The AC spindle drive is Fanuc A06B-6044-H742. This drive also powers a Fanuc Spindle motor with...

I am getting an OT001 C +Overtravel (soft 1) on a Wasino lathe with Fanuc 10T which I cant figure out.
This happened the first time running a program with C axis work after initializing the memory...

Hi Guhl,

The problem persist with the now replaced Z VCU, but as it is replaced it is not so urgent to get it fixed. Still as I do have a few PCBs with different error it would be great to pin...
