Well here in good ole Alabama we are deeply entrenched in the super EL Nino. We have had storms for a week now. Last Saturday lightning hit a tall sweetgum tree about 30 yards from my shop. After getting all the computers back up and running I noticed that I could not reset my PCNC 1100. It kept giving me a limit switch triggered alarm. Checked all the obvious thing, fuses, connections, pc settings, diagnostic page showed y and z limits triggered. Auto limit over ride will limit over ride will do nothing to clear the alarm. Disabling limit and home switches in config does nothing. Spindle still works in manual mode. I noticed that I do not have a red computer indicator light on the front panel. Today I changed out computers to see if that made a difference. After installing the tormach software on a different computer I do not have the limit switch alarms and the control software will reset but still no computer light and when trying to move the an axis the dro shows movement but nothing is moving. There seems to be no connection between the computer and machine. I read a few post on here that indicates the machine control board may be bad. Does anyone know or have a test procedure to test the board? I have ordered another board but will not be here until next week so I thought I would try to trouble shoot this one in the meantime. Thanks for any suggestions or replies in advance.
