    Multicam MT-22 control help needed

    I recently purchased a Multicam MT22 that I have rewired from 480v to 230v and installed a new inverter.
    I had things working pretty well and after many long days of trial and error got the communication with a XP pc working.
    But I think I messed it up royally because now the machine does not reboot and initialize properly.
    In Motion Mechanic it shows a parameter error 52 59 & error 28: isp stack error.
    I was getting errors 'm99' not found & '!zx' not found .batch.off before this
    new problem ( probably from a file loaded without the ending m99 line and it not resetting ?)

    Any help getting this going again will be greatly appreciated.
    Attached is a screen shot of the control before the problem.


    Thanks,
    Tim

    Re: Multicam MT-22 more info

    Here is another couple screen shots showing an error messege.
    I am guessing that somehow gcode got placed in the flash memory with the
    parameters etc and "gets in the way".
    This based on what little information I have pieced together.
    Are there any manuals out there for this machine or software ?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated .

    Thank you,

    Regards,
    Tim

    Re: Multicam MT-22 more info

    Well I got things working as it did before errors showed up with the help of a couple different people and new files (Thank You!).
    So now it boots up OK.
    I still need to change Modbus ? parameters 11 & 12 settings (voltage & HZ settings) but am not sure how?
    When I call up a job file it doesn't ever load but locks up.
    The job console says " failed to get controller capability bits"
    Any thoughts?

    I know this an old thread, but did you ever find an answer to your "failed to get controller capability bits"?

    My cnc has the same issue. I ran out of ideas of things to try.

    Thanks.

    I spent a lot of time on that but eventually gave up which wasn't easy for me.
    Multicam was not helpful at all and flying someone in didn't seem worth it so I ended up
    removing the control and replacing it with a Centroid OAK control board.
    The conversion worked with the original motors & drives but wasn't without its issues.
    I decided to go with a different method of manufacture for what this machine was intended & haven't
    used the machine much since.

    I'm sorry I can't help you more with this as I remember how frustrating it can be .

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I may try the same thing as you did, reuse some parts and turn it into a diy machine. Not easy to give up, but I think I am close at this point.
