I have a Bridgeport V2XT Knee mill (year 2000) with original DX-32 control.
Used to work fine, but recently have an issue where it suddenly acts like the drives are not enabled any more.
When it happens, I can hear the "thump" when the drives loose power. So far its always happened when the machine is not moving.
After it happens, the software still thinks the drives are enabled, but no attempt to move the axis has any effect.
The DX-32 software itself becomes a bit sluggish in certain places as a result also.
The only way I've found to restore it is to reboot/cycle power.
Has anyone seen this problem before? Id like to get an idea of whether its likely to be BMDC board, or the PC?
I tried reseating the BMDC and cleaning the contacts, and putting in a different socket on the motherboard.
Thanks for any ideas.
