Still working thru problems. Seams like i have exhausted Siemens tech support and this is more a machine problem then a controller problem. Original Thread is here.

Working on a 1990 Motion Master CNC router with Siemens 810M controller. Lost both the CPU's RS232 port. I’ve repaired that. Now I am re-loading. Machine is up and TEA1, TEA2 & PCP are loaded. Upon booting I immediately get an alarm with error code "1720 ORD + X Working Area Limit."
I have been to my Axial data (In Diagnostics under NC COMM) and have set all 4 of my axis limits to +/-99999999. I do not have any sort of feedback on my spindles so i have not set those limits. The softkey to home each axis is inoperative because of the alarm.
Any ideas? What am I missing?
