    "Arm Must Be Left" Error

    Well, after finally getting the machine set back up after clearing all the memory (by accident, thought I was clearing the tool and fixture offsets - but that's a whole other story). Now I'm getting an "arm must be left" error when I try to enter the MDI. I can do TC,1 and everything works. At a loss.

    1996 Fadal VMC15 with 16 ATC

    Please help!

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Ran a test on the arm sensors and they are Ohm'ing out showing contact signal.

    Fixed. When I set up the parameters I had told it that I have a pallet changer, which is true, however it is disconnected at this time.....

    Off to see if I can get the rest of it back working!
