I was having a problem with the CPU on my 1990 VF1 and got a new board. On start up it says Version 8.31N 98-07-16.
I am getting an Alarm 158 Keyboard / Video PCB.
AND the jog handle is not working. (it was before the new CPU). At the pendant, with a meter it seems to be functioning. I have disconnected and reconnected the connection at the rear of the machine too.
I have checked to make sure that everything was reconnected in the correct place and it all seems to be.
I am wondering if it might just be a Parameter issue. There are many more parameters with the newer board.
I did get the tool changer working (parameter adjustment) and can run a program.
So, I could just hit reset and keep going EXCEPT for the Jog Handle not making anything move?
Any Parameter wizards out there? Or other ideas??
This is the last fix and I can get to making parts! I am chomping on the bit.
thanks-
