Hello,
I turn this mill on :
The crt displays what looks like Japanese words, not sure text looks like corrupt Japanese text to be honest. So I figured it lost its memory due to a low battery. I continue to try the normal operations as if it still displayed English by pushing the ready green button . The ready button will not light up nor will it energize the drives . So I go to the back of the machine to see what alarms are displayed . The 4th drive to the right which I think is the actual 21m controller has an alarm. There is no 7 segment display just 4 green lights labeled status and three red lights labeled alarm . The status has the 2nd green light lit and the alarm light are lit up on the first and second . Just wondering if any one has experienced this problem or something similar . I have 7 mori seiki lathes and in years past we would lose our parameters due to the Plc battery going dead , but I had the parameters backed up and reloaded them . I'm just not familiar with a fanuc controller to know what's going on here . We purchased 3 of these Kira's knowing that they might have problems. Only this one had a problem . Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
Joe
