    BP Explorer X-26 prob. after DOM replacement.

    Hello Folks,

    I hope you guys can help me out here. Machine went down due to a blown Disk on Module. Here are the chain of events:

    -DOM took a dump; bought a new one.
    -Uploaded OE software DOS 5.0
    -Went to upload OEM software (disk that came with machine) only to find it was blank, uh oh...
    -Went to V2XT yahoo group and downloaded same version BOSS software and installed on machine.
    -Software works, all is well, machine checks out fine, except:

    When homing the axis' I get an error that says, "Error in reading disk!! Hit any key" during the homing sequence. Once homing is complete, the axis numbers are all fubar. Z homes at 10.0000 and the X and Y are off also. X servo motor now humms louder than it used to. Hmm...parameters?

    Now out of the four install options when loading the software one could select V2XT, 308, Explorer, etc. I selected explorer; however, I believe the parameters for this option may be different than for the "Explorer X-26" as the standard Explorer has less travel. Does this sound plausible for the homing issue at least?

    Does anyone have a parameter file for the X-26 they would like to share?

    Any thoughts on how to fix this issue?

    Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Well, I haven't gotten the software issue fixed even after modifying the Explorer I param file to suit the X-26. Along the way I noticed some other issues that have also popped up in this fiasco.

    I am also getting:

    -Low pressure alarm (yet there is 85 psi and solenoid works).
    -Cannot control spindle speed yet it will still start (due to low psi alarm).
    -Spindle stop button on head does not work.
    -AUF light D11 glows bright red while light D12 blinks on-and-off bright red.

    Is my AUF dead?

    Thanks.
