    Need help with CNC Lathe

    We are trying to get our lathe running and keep getting an error for a Mission shifter. Its A Okuma with a Fanuc 11 controller. Trying a dry run when we get to the line to turn the spindle on S350 M03 we get an alarm 78 mission shifter. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks

    I would guess that a gear change limit switch is not being detected.
    Maybe because in dry run, the spindle does not usually run?
