Hey all,
I've been lurking on the site for a while and can't tell you all how much great info I've found on here. That said, I have a question that I did some searching on, and couldn't find an answer for.
I operate a pcnc 1100 at work, and had an interesting thing happen to me the other day. My normal boot up procedure is to flip the computer switch on, wait for the computer to boot up, then hit the machine start button, and proceed to reference, etc... The other day, though, I decided to hit the machine start button while the computer was booting up, which turned out to be a bad idea. After about 30 seconds, the spindle started a rapid movement towards the table, which I stopped fairly quickly with the e-stop before anything bad happened. My coworker also did the same startup procedure a couple days after (no idea why we both did it) and luckily I was there to tell him right before the machine did it again.
So, my question is, is there something wrong? Or is the answer to simply not startup the machine that way?
Thanks in advance.
