Hi, my fadal is down again and i really can't figure this one out. I was changing programs and when i hit enter after typing the program number the screen froze up. I couldn't get to any pages and when i pressed manual, i could see a currupt memory error flash really quickly. I re started the machine, messed around with it a bunch and it finally came back to normal. I changed the program and started cutting. then got axis amplifier alarm. reset, got it again after a few minutes. I talked to tech support at fadalparts.com and he said it could be a currupt program, or memory. so i ended up doing the zero memory procedure. i sent the program back and boom, more alarms. I switch the amps from x to y, and still got an x amp alarm. so i handle jog x and can do it all day with no alarm. i ran a program to feed table back in forth in x and no alarm after 15 minutes. I ran a program to travel y, and it alarmed almost instantly after switching programs. i ran y again, and no alarm after 15 minutes. I put my program back in, and alarm withing 10 sec. I really cant pinpoint what parts to order. I can run x and y independently with no problem, jog no problem, but in a program with x moving, then switching to y, i get an alarm. I have done zero memory three times. any ideas? thanks in advance. I am really in need of a tech and just cant find one in my area.

Take off your extended memory and see if that helps everything.

I tried that this morning and it seemed to work. i loaded the program i wanted to cut and ran 3 cycles, about 45 minutes with no problem. It wouldn't run a minute before. I sent a different op over that i needed to cut with a smaller program because the first program didint load all the way due to not enough memory. I setup the op, and started cutting, boom alarm again.
