We recently had to update a machine to coldfire 2 due to an unfortunate electrical issue. My current problem is that when I give my spindle the ole 1500 and press fwd I get an alarm 213 error and the control pretty much wigs out. My tech is telling me this is normal for that software version and that I will have to give it the commands in MDI i.e S1500 m03 cycle start. I have used the short cut to get my spindle turning for years. Anyone have any input on their coldfire 2 controls acting in this manner?
