Hello everyone, I am trying to get a friends Milltronics Partner MB19 Centurion 6 running, having a problem with homing. Apparently the machine worked perfectly when he purchased it (a couple months ago) except for the floppy disc drive. He had someone replace the floppy drive with a Floppy USB emulator and a while after that it had permanently gone into feedhold and would no longer move. I checked the feedhold button on the front panel and it works fine. When I press reset the drives start up and everything and when I press home, the z axiz moves up a tick n stops as feedhold comes on. It will do this everytime I press Feedhold and then cycle start again, the z moves up by different amount each time. Sometimes it will move by 1/2" other times it will barely tick before going into feedhold again.
Does anyone know what can trigger the feedhold on this machine? As far as ive figured out its not the feedhold switch nor wiring.
How can I excess the Parameter File through the machine to check for corruption?
How exactly can I excess the diagnostic screen on the centurion 6 to test all the limit and homing switches?
Can anyone Possibly Provide me with the Parameter File?
Thanks for any help or suggestions
Abe
