Believe I fixed the door issue. The runoff setting for the tool changer was on which prevented programs from starting (alarm 39-58). Once I fixed that setting, the door unlocks like before.

I have managed to get the Mill up and running again. I had to revert to some old settings that were on a floppy drive, but it fixed the issues. Weirdly, it seems the settings were for an arrow 500,...

I've managed to get the drives to turn on properly by going through and fixing some of the settings that were reset. I also reinstalled the software from a floppy that came with the machine that was...

Update:

I was able to get the drives to power on properly by jumping P41-11 and P40-2 on the output board (this could have also been determined by testing continuity across them to avoid multiple...

Installed new power supply, but still the same problem.

Another thing of note: When the machine was running before, every time we turned it on, a keyboard error pop up would appear on the desktop...

Control boots just fine/no errors. When I hit the button to turn the drives on before aligning the machine, they turn on for a couple seconds then shut off.

Bill was super helpful!

Turns out the settings for flashing the RTCPU BIOS needed to be modified to get the floppy drive working properly (also needed to use a second one because the first one was...

Update: I've had a few conversations with a tech at Fives who had me reload the software settings using the uninstall window. Still had errors, so he sent me the files to flash the RTCPU board. I've...

Update:

I was able to get my hands on a a ISA VGA video card and a 5-pin din keyboard adapter. I setup the RTCPU board on the bench and changed the parameter: "HALT ON : No ERROR" (this was...

I was able to get the BIOS settings from someone at Fives. On bootup, the computer now just sits on the "OS Loader V4.01" page. I didn't get any info about the Hard disk settings, so don't know if...

Thanks Greg! I'm not sure the document was attached to your post unless I'm just missing it.

Also, would it work to apply the 3V directly across the battery terminals to replace the RTCPU...

I have replaced the battery and am fairly sure I need to reset the CMOS BIOS settings. Tried calling the Fives tech support number that was listed in some other threads, but it just rang for 20...

After checking my multimeter against a powersupply, found it was super off the mark. With a different (more accurate) multimeter, I'm reading 3.1V on the RTCPU and 2.9V on the WSCPU.

gwood,

The RTCPU battery is at 3.9V and the WSCPU battery is 3.1V

I'm in the process of pulling all the boards, cleaning the contacts, and reseating them to see if that helps. I'll also run...

Hello,

I have been working with a Cincinnati Milacron Arrow 1000 with Acramatic 2100 control for a few months now. Machine works great and runs smooth. A few days ago while cleaning out chips, I...
