I'm new to the forum. I have as noted in the title line. I bought this machine at auction. Had been sitting for about 9-10 years. Memory battery was low, reinstalled parameters per what appeared to be the parameter sheet. I have a friend that has the same machine. He sent me is parameters and I have installed those as well with no luck.
Simptoms as follows:
1. No RS 232c activity
2. Manual functions work, except for Spindle control as far as speed (but I don't know if it is suppose to).
3. Parameter locations 6030-6049 have no parameters and I can't seem to load any in those locations.
4. No alarms displayed.
5. My diagnostics data does not match those of my friends working machine, but I really don't know what that means for most part, as some of the data is subject to switch settings.
6. Can not initiate tape read or any kind of data input.
7. No data blinking "IN" for memory data input.

I'm new to CNC machines, so I have some learning to do. However, I am computer savy but it has been some time since I worked on a 8086 based system, nor do I have any historical data for them.

I'm now pulling out my hair which I have little of.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
