Hey guys,
I bought an Arrow 500 and am having issues with "machine power required". I mainly bought this machine for spare parts for my other 500 which works great. I want to be able to test all the components before I take this one apart. The machine itself was lacking some TLC and I have had to fix computer issues and broken wires. In short, here is what happens. I turn on main power and all is good. Hit start button and computer boots up with everything passing/ok. Push start button again and my breaker in the service panel trips (same breaker my other machine uses with no issues). Once in a while it won't trip but the PSR5 spindle drive will show a fault light. I can home all axis and tool drum but since there is a fault in the drive it won't align the spindle. Thinking there may be a short in the spindle motor I disconnected the power leads to the motor. No change. I know I'm leaving out some details but I'm hoping someone will just throw out a possible cause. I can then check that area. It may be easier to answer a given question than to answer every question up front. I have the documentation and manuals for my other 500 so I can check any relays or wires. I do get a message during computer boot up that refers to "one system/driver failed to load, see event viewer" but there are no indications in the event viewer. I'm thinking it may be something not important such as a network card or printer etc. I also noticed when the PSR5 fault light is on, I can unhook the air and the fault light goes out. I then get the air pressure alarm. When I hook up the air the fault light comes back on. That's probably working as it should. I will try to get setup with motion link to the drive. Thanks
