I got a free 1989 victor v center 4 VMC that is not working. It boots up, but will not home or jog or mdi or run programs. there are no errors or alarms on the screen. This machine has no machining enclosure interlocks and no lube level sensors. All of the tool changer limit and proximity switches show changes of state on a diagnostics screen if I manually rotate or put in home position the tool changer by hand. The rotary selecter switch for mem, edit, mdi, handel, and jog is the only switch that the brain responds to.
All I can do is mpg just the x axis and only at the slowest rate. The connection board and the DI/DO board were sent out by the previous owner to be tested and they were claimed to be good. One test outfit wrote that all the non working panel switch signals would take turns or "multiplex" over about 8 lines from the connection board back to the mother board but it was seeing or responding to only some of the signals.
Please, I need you help, ideas Thanks Larry Reiss Omaha NE
