I have a daewoo 6HS, circa 1986, with a Fanuc 11T control system using a spindle drive number A16B-1000-0693.
When I push the control ready button, it will not latch, and I get a spindle LED indicator. On the drive board, there is a row of four LEDs labelled FAULT 8,4,2,1. We currently have 8,2,and 1 lit. I contacted Tennessee Industrial Electronics, and they tell me that 8,2,1 is fault code 11, "DC link HI Volt".
This is pretty much all I can get from TIE.

We have seen aluminum electrolytic capacitors fail in other control systems after they are around 15 years old. We're leaning towards this as the problem.

I have manuals for the Daewoo, and manuals for Fanuc 11 controls, but do not have a schematic specific to this component.

Does anyone have access to specific scematics for fanuc?

Has anyone experienced this fault on this series of spindle amp?

oops, correction, spindle drive number a20b-1000-0693

I do not have my books with me at the moment, but did they mean excessive current flow (not voltage), in the DC link. If so, the chances are a blown transistor.

Usually AL-11 is high voltage to the drive. If you have another ~0693 you can swap it with this drive.
If the problem is AL-12 then DO NOT swap the top board. That usually indicates a blown transistor or shorted motor.
There are some other factors for AL-11 but better check the board 1st.
